210 build

[ErosJN]

Its been roughly 8 months or so since I've actually set up my 210. I still have some work to do for aesthetic purposes such as face off the stand. I'm still debating making a hood and placing the LEDs in the hood or just hanging the lights from the ceiling. Heres some photos, let me know what you guys think..

A few more photos with chamberless sump.

Fish: Clown Fish x2, Chromis x2, yellow damsel, blue damsel x2, yellow tail blue damsel, African Cleaner Wrasse, Clown Goby, Blue Hippo Tang, Yellow Tang, Powder Brown Tang, Naso Tang, and a juvenile Atlantic Blue Tang.

Inverts: Bubble Tip Anemone, Harlequin Shrimp, Harlequin Starfish, Brittle Starfish x2, TONS of locally collected Drawf Ceriths and Nassarius Snails.

Sump: 48 inch T5 lighting on 75 gallon aquarium, 2 overflow pipes draining into filter sock, skimmer (Not sure what type), Jaebo return pump, and green basket of Chaeto sealed in with mesh to prevent from getting sucked into the return.

Any mods or pointers to make my aquarium better are more than welcome.

Thanks,
Eros

You have a nice setup there, really looks good. I think a canopy would set it off real well.

thanks bud, I'm leaning towards making a hood opposed to just hanging the lights, I need to look for some buildings plans that include attaching LED lights to the top. I also want to take out the bilateral portion of Live Rocks and use them in the sump and get better matching live rock for the display. The "whiter" rocks were found on my trip to fort lauderdale starting to wash up to the beach after a storm.

I would think about installing some removable panels for your stand. This will help reduce the sounds from pumps, skimmer etc.
