140 gallon island shallow tank and 40 gallon sump

[mr.lamnguyen]

I build this tank almost 3 month ago, Now I have a chance to share with all reefer who has shallow tank and regular tank size. I love shallow because im short lol and like to see the view of my tank

Dimension of tank is 60x30x18 Cadlight tank, I copy this size from Jadette after I saw her beautiful tank
Equipment:

2 mp40
3 g2 radion
1 Royal Vertex 250
Eheim 1262 for return pump
I run GFO, Carbon, and Bio Pellet
Geo618 for Calcium Reactor
I plan to set up the frag tank in next week if I have time, to increase the volume and to frag in the future lol.

Here its.
its when I got the tank on January 2013

and this is the sump

I am lazy guy to do water change, so I set up this is how I contain the water on highest level, then go to 20 gallon empty tank that is where I mix the salt for water change everyweek.

After 4 weeks of cycle. I start to put some fish and some SPS in. I know I am the guy that cant sit there and wait, so I did put many corals in. But I careful check it everyday.

And this is the sump right now has some cheato, rock, sand and my big boy

I have used the RIO 1600 to pump to 3 outlet and it seem not strong enough to feed my calcium reactor. So I think I will upgrade that pump to eheim 1260, what you guys think?


That's how its now. give me some comment and some advise if you have

I like the eheim 1260, super quiet and pretty powerful. I think that would be a good option for a replacement pump. Overall its looking great!

 

[mr.lamnguyen]

Thanks. I like 1260 very quite and strong enough for my tank..this is how it look in 2 month olds. I like the Ecotech Radion G2, seem coral growth little bit.

and this is my two phantom clownfish, i have this mated over a year, still love them but they are so mean, try to attach me when i clean the tank

Awesome tank! Beautiful, can you please post pictures of your corals?
Would love to see how they're doing under yours LEDS

 

[mr.lamnguyen]

Thanks guys.. Im busy set up the frag tank so little late for update..This is my corals, its in my tank for almost 2 month. they have started to growth and bring back there color. I run 12 hour light of G2 Radion, and only 3 hours for 100% intensity. Check them out

Also, I love the Morish Idol, but I see many threats say they are not sucessful to keep them.So I try to keep them in my tank. today almost i have him for 7 days. and he start to eat pallet few days ago. I hope I can keep him.

And this is my little frags tank for fun lol

Enjoy guys

I love rimless too, but sometime I hate it now lol... 2 wrass..2 anthias are jump out of the tank already. I want to put the net in, but it doesn't look pretty at all. Try to find the solution. Anyone has any idea?

Rimless is nice, but fishes are jumped out at night. Try to find the solutions without put the net in.
