Finally got the 125 half cylinder done!

[beemer]

OK no tank is ever really ever done is it!
I am putting this here because it is an SPS dominated tank. 24 different types.
I hope I don't I come off as trying to brag or something. I know this tank is just a pittance compared to many of the tanks here (Kevin!).
Quick funny story on the history of this tank. I use to work at a store in Tacoma, Aqua Images (out of biz). We got this tank and I used to maintain it. It was my favorite tank by far, even better than the 300 gal walk around tank. Well we ended up selling it, 5 years later low and behold I see it for sale on RC for a 10th of the cost! Went out the next day and bought it. (wife not happy) Well I set it up and did it on the cheap. Dumb me again. Finally torn down the 18 nano reef and redid the whole tank. Well just wanted to share some pics and thank a bunch of you guys for educating me and giving me a hand with the tank.

Thanks ya'all
Jerod

I love the CV 400w 20k bulb! Now I just need to put another one in the hood. Oh and I need to get a Calc reactor, ph controller, fish, more corals.....AH where will it ever end!

 

[beemer]

OK one more.

Just the sump area. Still needs some improvements to make it neater and more functional but a vast improvement from having all that junk in the stand

Thanks for lookin

looks good!!!!!!!!!!

 

[MzWeazelle]

Very interesting. What are the measurements?

 

[Jeff]

Wow! great tank. There is always something very aesthetically pleasing about a bowed or curved tank. I'll bet it is even more gorgeous in person.

Nice Jerod! Thanks for sharing.

That’s an interesting towel rack in the middle there!

Looks great! Your tank would be the first curved tank I’ve seen.

Jeff,
Thank you. The cool part is that the distortion caused by the curve makes the corals look bigger than they are!
MzWeazelle
Dimensions are 53" across the back, 21" high, and 23" front to back
MarineDreamer,

Looking very nice. So when are you going to host a club meeting for us.

Zeph

 

[beemer]

Club meeting !

Any time is good with me...well as soon as I can talk you into making me a new beckett housing for my skimmer. I kinda destroyed mine today I will call you Brent!

Thanks for the compliment
Jerod

 

[Zephrant]

Bring it to the meeting on Saturday- We can make a class out of repairing it.

Zeph

 

[beemer]

Zeph,
Hey sounds good. Not really repairable though. The housing was originally made out of PVC pipe and the Beckett is glued in. I cut the housing completely out hoping to salvage the Backett just to find out its glued on the top bottom.GRRR. I'll bring it though. Thanks for the offer

Fantastic looking tank!

I have always wanted a half cylinder tank like yours. Maybe someday I will luck out too, I hope.:lol:
