300 g SPS/LPS propagation build

[orpheus79]

Thanks very much!!!
Could I build a similar thing with your help, from across the ocean??
Really crazy!
Ok, then I slowly start to find the equipment, the place where I'll put what will be available by the end of September so I have time.
In what kind of stores sell those tanks?
And as every time, thank you google translate :-D

Looks like you have some good websites for the equipment. I haven't had any issues with phosphates leaching out so you should be good. I am very happy with our raceway 8 ft x 4 ft x 7 in. The shallow systems allow great light penetration. We are only using one 400 w halide fo the entire raceway, and the coral are growing great.

I requested information on measures, news aspect.

but I think I saw that you had done everything from without putting live rock. I would like to make a nice large container-sump where to put all the rocks.

 

[Cac986]

We do have a large sump that can handle live rock. Our bioload has been so low we have gotten by with just 40 lbs of live rock and a sand bed.

 

[orpheus79]

but all over many liters are your system?

Nice

 

[Cac986]

About 300 gallons

 

[orpheus79]

I can not find anyone who has those containers ...
Italy is really the third world ....

 

[Cac986]

Your probably will need to order from an online vendor.

 

[orpheus79]

I'll find in Europe because in Italy there is nobody...

A friend sent me the link to this build/business endeavor.
I'm so excited for you. I can barely contain myself waiting to see what comes next.
Perhaps we will be doing business very soon.
Thank you so much for sharing much of the details you and your brother went through during this experience. This is so exciting! I'll definitely be following!!

Thanks saving our seas! Business has slowed down q bit, but its a ton of fun growing coral. Been preoccupied because my 300 g SPS display tank (leemar) sprung a leak. Ahhhh I only had it up and running for a year. I was home so I was able to save all my coral and livestock. Luckily I could transfer my livestock to our propagation tanks. Let me know if you guys have any questions. I will post some pics of our new coral and some of the growth.
