[Detri]

Thanks

Well, you can't turn down free, or corals for 5 frags for 10 bucks. I am not adding any more until I get my new tank up and running. Just going to work on my lighting now. My wife just pointed out we have a bunch of baby snails in the tank. the grains of Aaragonite sand are bigger than them haha.

ohh yeah those deals on corals are always tempting

 

[Detri]

Well, the evolution continues. Here are some updated photo's. As most of you know I am setting up a new tank. I am upgrading from a 35 or 38g tank. to a 100g gallon tank I built, thats going on a stand I built as well. Here a few updated pics to show my transition so far.

 

[Detri]

The tank. I will add more with the Starboard and the plumbing later.

I got to hand it to you man...Really nice! You've been pulling our legs all this time you've been here(LOL) Can't wait to see it filled and lit up! Are the 2 plumbing pieces out front of the tank for return nozzles?

 

[Krish]

Thanks guys

Yes, they are part of my closed loop. Since they are threaded I thought I would try something different. I am hoping that it will help reduce dead spots in the tank and keep the bottom clean so I only have to siphon a couple spots instead of the entire bottom. If it doesn't work out I will try a threaded 3 way elbow and pinch the ends to make a spray nozzle. If that doesn't work I will try and find 1/2" locline.

I am putting my new rock in the tank tomorrow and filling it with water. Hopefully in 6 weeks I'll have my fish and corals in it.

Here is a little about the tank.

The Tank:

All Glass 1/2", 3 sides Starfire, Back (Painted) and bottom regular glass.
Overflow, 1/8th" thick greylite glass. (smoked glass)
Black Silicone

36"x24"x26" 100g
3" Eurobrace 3 sides (not needed, but I love the look)
4 holes drilled in the bottom. On the back, 1 dorso, 1 return. On the front 2 holes closed loop.

Back glass 3 holes drilled, 1 intake, 2 closed loop return. All holes drilled with diamond hole saw.

Bottom black Starboard (I'll get pics soon, finishing putting it in tonight)

I had all glass pre-cut, All edges are polished, the front corners are beveled on a 45 degree angle.

I've decided not to build a sump, to expensive, I'll buy a generic pre built tank. I'll buy the baffles and add them myself.

I am buying an H&S external skimmer

Closed loop pump (for now, may switch to the 12000) a Sedra 9000 ( I really want a Red Dragon, sooooo quiet!!!! But costs a lot)

Sump return pump is going to be a Sedra 9000 for now

Getting a RedSea Ozonizer

Buying in the next few months a Shuran Calcium Reactor

I have bought a Sfiligoi Soleset 24" lighting canopy. 1x250w MH 2x24w T5 2xmoonlight

Live Rock: about 60-80 lbs Haiti Lettuce rock. I'll hopefully have pics in the next couple of days.

the rest yet to be decided. With the exception of what I have in my 35g tank.

 

[Krish]

Sounds like fun man! Can't wait to see the rock in it and it up and running!

 

[spongebob lover]

Ron, I just hope you don't change your mind to many times like Krish so we can finally we the work.
I think your tank is gonna be really neat dood i really do.

 

[Detri]

Well I had a hard time deciding what rocks I wanted where. But I finally got it done. Here is some pics.
