250 Gallon Starphire SPS tank

[LittleBlueGT]

Sump looks great! Those pics don't do justice for conveying just how big the sump really is though. :lol:

Definitely cleaned everything up in there quite a bit!

Looking forward to seeing those frags growing! lol: My tank is nearing completion; I need to stock it with something! )

Later,
Tyler

Your frags might be fresh cut off of the mother colonies, I don't think I will have my frags growing downstairs for about 2 or 3 months yet.

Sump system looks very nice. My dream set up for sure. I need some more space I think. *Hmmm thinking to myself*
Nice collection of electric meter spinners as well. You can't beat PanWorlds and Iwakis.

Max,
can you give me details on the sump again, I missed it somewhere along the line. Did you make it yourself?

Actually Gen-X and Bluelines.

169 Gallons
90 X 24 X 18
3.5 feet for frag grow-out area
baffles do not go to top for better air circulation and cooling
3/8 glass (except for one piece of 1/2 starphire)

Anything else you want to know?

LSM,
My Ranco can be setup to read in Centigrade. Not sure if you would care to, just throwing it out there.
Big-O-Sump you got there

 

[JustOneMoreTank]

Ohh oops. I thought that the one closest to you (furthest from the wall) was an Iwaki.

I think in C but F gives me a higher resolution. 1 Degree C is about 2 Degrees F.

Did you build it yourself?

Just the one "euro" brace at the end and I assume the baffels work to brace the middle?

Jayson at SWC (SaltWaterConnection.com) built it for me.

The baffles brace it and one brace at the end for splashing.

Quick pic of my new car.

LittleBlueGT is the name of choice, but I don't think I can change it.

Update the house to accomodate the tank!

Nice ride. I like it a lot. Cool that the mods would let you change your screen name. Now you will have to do something about that Avatar...

Now you will have to do something about that Avatar...

My buddy ReefPhotoMaster is living in Haiti now and he did an Avatar for me. I have e-mailed him a pic or two, but I reallty need him to come back for a photo shoot. Then he can PS me a new avatar.

 

[LittleBlueGT]

Here are some of the shots he took in our photo shoot last year.

Notice how he made the 17 inch wheels and 45 profile tires look like 19s with 25 series rubber.
