Besides offering frags Barrier Reef Aquariums specializes in aquarium design, installation, and maintenance. If anyone is interested in professional assistance with any aspect of their project, please don't hesitate to contact us. Here are some recent pictures of a fish only, 675 gallon (10x3x3), we set up in the beginning of 2006. The pictures were taken 2 weeks after a cleaning without touching up the algae. CLEAN!

We're currently finishing up a custom Oceanic 130g Reef. I'll post pics of that project soon.



Thank You,

Cy and Tim

Very beautiful again guys!!:)

Thanks Krish.

As for the equipment...

Custom CFI Wet/Dry w/ 30 gallons of bioballs.
Living Color Coral Inserts x4
Dolphin 4700 Pump as main pump.
Dolphin 4700 Pump as closed loop.
1HP Pac Coast chiller
Aqua UV 120 watt UV with the wipers. (the wipers are hard to use)
Lighting consists of URI A-4 Ballast driving 2-110w URI Actinic Day and 2-110w Super Actinic (12 hr)and 2-175w 14k Hamilton bulbs driven by Ice Cap ballasts (6hr).
37g auto top-off reservoir with BlueLine ATO
Pinpoint PH and Oxygen Monitors (8.2/6-7)
Red Sea Deluxe Ozone 200mg Doser/Controller (350Mv)
Euro-Reef RC-500 recirculating skimmer fed directly from the overflow box(works great but the cup is so big its hard to get off).
Euro-Reef RS8-2 Skimmer just because we had one and its great for dosing the Ozone into.
There is also a "belly tray" that lines the entire inner bottom of the stand. Its 6" tall and all the equipment sits inside it. If anything ever fails and leaks or plumbing cracks all the water will fill the tray. There is a sump pump with a float switch controller that will kick on and pump the tray into a drain plumbed outside the office so that no water ever hits the floor.
The chiller and UV are located on the other side of the wall behind the aquarium to reduce noise and heat in the office. The owner also has a 155g reef in this location so we wanted to keep both noise and heat to a minimum.

It was quite a challenge to put this together, tear down a 300 gallon and move the inhabitants into the 675, and move his 155g reef from his old office to the new one all in one 3 day weekend.
