Oceanic Tech Series 70

[TAV]

Anyone have any experience with this tank? Has Starphire front glass, built in overflow. Any suggestions on a good Oceanic dealer. Blue Sierra tells me they can get tank and stand for about $1100.

Any of the LFS can get them for you through Central Pet. Blue Sierra is as good as any and Jonus is a good guy.

I got my 70 in AZ for $800 - stand and tank.

Good Price on the 70

I got my 70 in AZ for $800 - stand and tank.

So how do you like the tank? Any pics to share?

Well...I loved the tank but like most, got the urge to go bigger and got a 125. I really miss the starphire glass and the RR megaflow was great. Here are a pic before I took it down. The plumbing came with the tank and everything went together really easy. The stand had a place for a "case fan" which really helped in cooling off the sump. The only thing I can say is that while I like the 3 doors for access on the stand I was always a little leary of the stability. I never had any problems, but was always cautious.

What are your plans for lighting? And are your planning a full reef?

 

[TAV]

Yes, I'm planning to replace my existing no sump 55 gallon reef tank with the Oceanic system.

I'm using a Current Nova Extreme T5 on the 55 tank with good results, haven't decided what to use on the 90 yet. Suggestions?

 

[Almondsaz]

What do you plan on keeping? There are lots of options and T5's is certainly a good one. I personally like the open look of the tank on top, that being said I now have a canopy on my 125.
