200 gallon deep dimension build

Anyone got any cool ideas to hide all my apex wires and ato reservoir? I am going to try to get that done this weekend.

Let's get this party started.
 
Did the frags come from a local source, or were they ordered online?

If ordered online, who did you order them from?

What are the different frags?

They look great!

These came from Adam at Battlecorals.

Back row:
Colemans delicate
Inland corals kaleidoscope
BC Sky doppel
BC Space ghose
Pink jade

Middle row:
Vivid rainbow delight
BC Thundercats
BC Heart & Soul
BC Xmas

Front row:
BC Rainbows Army
BC Bossa NOVA!
Tyree Superman tenuis
Grapejuice
BC Battle stag

Everything came in great. Just got them all placed in the tank. Saved some prime spots to add swap goodies. This deep dimension tank adds a side viewing element that I'm not used to.
 
Tank is dealing with some fluffy algae (probably from being a young tank). Added 3 more turbo snails and a lawnmower blenny to help keep things in check.

Here are some pics from today:

I added this nem about 1 month after setting up the tank (yes probably too early). It split after about a week of being in the tank (likely stress response), but has been doing well since. Clowns were hosting it before it split, so I'm hoping they will eventually come home.

Struggled with how to set up my auto feeder on the tank. Came up with this and it has worked out great.

FTS. Hoping this algae will go away soon.
 
Put me online for a frag of the superman and vivid delight! I'm always happy to trade for stuff too.

You got it! I'm hoping I can hold the color on the Rainbow delight. It's known to brown out before it get's colorful again (not sure why). The superman came in glowing blue. My personal favs were the sky doppel and the kaleidoscope. Trading sounds good. I know you got some cool stuff baking in your prop tank.

Made my boxes to store equipment in. Not sure what hinges to use for the lids, but the new baby won't be walking for a wile so I have time.

I definitely want to get some BC frags some day. Glad to see they shipped out well to you.
 
That frag rack sure is nice looking :D, oh and the corals on it are pretty cool too. That sump wall still working out good?

I agree. I do like looking at a nice rack...of frags :)

Sump wall is holding up strong. I'll get a pic posted here soon.

Still working on how to do the lids and a mounting solution for the right side box (thinking about mounting 1x4 at an angle side to side for easier viewing. Right now the wires are at least just out of view though! Left side box has a 20 gallon ATO reservoir and hopefully will hold my kalkwasser reactor when I'm ready to start using it.


I had been dealing with this issue where water was being shunted away from my filter sock area and directly into the skimmer area:

So I got with printed reefing solutions and came up with this fix:

While I was at it...

Stuff looks good. Let me know if we need to make any changes to the baffle wall in the sump. I am also working on the effluent chamber, just been a little swamped.
 
Neat solution to the overflow issue.

I've purchased a pair of PRS Vortech Controller mounts and they've been great. It's easy to forget they didnt come with the Voretch's...
 
Well things got out of hand today. Between the swap and picking up a pack from Nexenn and some colonies he was holding for me, i think the tank is stocked. Teaser pics cause i need to sleep. Lets just say i spent 2 hrs dipping and gluing. Tank pics later this week.
