    240 cube reef tank

    Hooked up the new pump to the closed loop. Can finally take all the powerheads out of the tank. Also just go ta bunch of new sps frags. Will post pics later. Now I just need to skin the stand and build a canopy.

    240 cube reef tank

    Actually the corners are 4x6s I think. Tank has been up and running for about 2 months since the upgrade. Almost everything made the move. Lost a Cali Tort frag. But everything else seems to be doing well. Still need to re-run all the wires. Waiting for a pump. Our closed loop pump died so we...

    240 cube reef tank

    Figured I should probably start a thread here instead of continuing with the design thread. Tanks is 4'x4'x2'. Here is a pic of the stand so you can get an idea of the size. I'm about 6'5" for reference. Last time we measured the Carpet anemone it was over a foot and a half wide.

    Our dart pump for our closed loop crapped out. If anyone knows of a good used dart for sale let me know. Dont like the look of the k4s attached to the sides.

    Here are some more pics as promised. We ended up getting more fish also. We got a pair of Cardinal fish, and a mandarin from garret in salem. We also picked up a melanarus wrasse and a kole tang from another shop while we were in town, but both of those fish didnt make it. Dont think we will be...

    Here are some pics of it up and running. Still need to run all the wires. Right now they are just in a big pile next to the tank. And hanging off the side of the tank. Also need to run some carbon or a filter sock to clear up the water. My blenny likes to stir up the sand.

    Tanks filled with water, sand and a few pieces of rock. Cycling right now. Should be able to transfer next week hopefully. Also picked up a different controller. Using a Reek Keeper now. I was going to be running too many big amp items for the Reef Angel. Anyone have ideas for aquascaping? Or...

    Heater showed up. Filled the tank with sand. Has about 1.5-2 inches of sugar sand across the entire bottom. Also played with ideas for aquscaping. Was thinking of doing a U shape along the back and right side and make an pillar in the front left. I want to try to make a couple caves and holes...

    Solar Tubes for Light

    Ive seen a few people use them on RC, but everyone using them were in California or Florida.

    Ordered a heater. Hopefully I can get it to work with my Reef Controller. Emptied the water out of the tank and filled it with the sand and the extra dry base rock I have. I think I might actually have too much rock once I add my live rock from my current tanks. Ideas on aquascaping?

    Had a fellow club member help me redo some of the plumbing today. Here is a shot with it full of water and running both pumps. No leaks yet. Gonna check for leaks again in the morning and then drain it. Does someone make a decent inexpensive titanium heater I can use with a controller? So if...

    Have the stand mostly finished. Have the 3/4" plywood for the top. Just need to cut out the holes. Not sure how I want to skin it yet. Think it should be able to hold the tank.

    Coral Shots under LED

    yeah. I have the Blues and Whites on separate dimmers, but I dont like the "blue" look. And with just the blues on, my camera cant really capture it right.
