[André Silvestre]

Hello all,

It´s good to comeback to RC with another project, this time something bigger.
The idea is pretty much the same with my past 300L/80G tank; achieve a nice variety of corals ( softies, LPS, SPS) and fish and see how things will grow with Led technology.

Setup:

Tank: 200cm*70cm*65cm ( Length*Wide*High)
Lighting: 4 x Ecotech Radion XR30W
Skimmer: Bubble King Double Cone 250
Circulation: 2 x Ecotech Vortech MP40W ES
kH, Ca, Mg: Balling Method

Some updated pictures of the layout:

Next step: fill the tank with saltwater!


Thanks for veiwing,

André

I really like this set up. Aquascape is very awesome! What are the dimensions?

 

[Ricardo Coelho]

Nice aquascape and setup.

Keep us posted about the developments.

You are off to a very nice start. Very impressive already. Makes me want to redo my rock work.

What did you use to cement the rockwork together?

 

[bikeboss11]

Sweet....rock structure... I am doing something similar to that in my tank

 

[EricSIny]

Great scape. Tagging along for this one

Hello,

Thank you all for the nice comments.

lotusstar, it´s a 79" x 27.5" x 25.5" tank.

Ricardo, will do.

Rotknee, I have used Ocean Wonders epoxy and T-Rex glue. This glue "glues" anything to anything with a 24h waiting for maximum strength. Done the job well done.

i love the aquascape

 

[Toxic Slurpee]

Great aquascape!

 

[Spirofucci]

Beautiful! Love the scape and of course the lights!

Bravo! Awesome job. Something very tranquil about the look with no water in it too, from a picture it looks perfect the way it is. Imagine leaving it like that, no water changes, no worrying about growing conditions

You dead set on your circulation plan though? 2 MP40s don't sound like they'll be enough for a tank that large.

 

[robferrari]

I agree with sfsuphysics and everyone else about the scape. It looks great and can't wait to see it full of life!

 

[sasharotty]

Scape looks fantastic. I really like the open look and will be phenominal once coral grows in. Is the rock Pukani? Who's the manufacturer of the tank?

 

[TheFishTeen]

Very nice! What is your relationship to ReefQuest?

 

[BrettH]

Andre this is great. Love the scape. I am going to be going for a very simlar look. cheers to a great start.

My dear friend,

Stunning aquascaping!!!

As usual, your rockwork is very impressive. Nice to see that you're goint to use Led Radion, I will be very curious on that. I will visit you next time I'll be in Lisbon.

Cheers,
Ricardo
