So all you have is the sea swirls and nothing else at the moment right?

Two mp 40s. Course the seaswirls are pushing out 6000 gph through 1.5" pipe

So you have the 1.5 sea swirls? Gosh I wish I designed my tank better. If I didnt go semi rimless those were my choices.

 

[Stylaster]

Yep they are beastly for seaswirls lol So much pressure coming out of the ends that it will blow your hand away if you try to block it

 

[Newbie Aquarist]

Thanks for clarification. Tank is pimp.

Sir, your tank looks sweet. And I applaude your decision for going bare bottom with this tank. :thumbsup:

 

[Stylaster]

Thank you very much! Gotta get some new pics soon. Got some sps colonies approaching basketball size lol

Beautiful setup. I love it. I have a question in regards to the tank build. you said you used 1/2" acrylic, and I'd like to do the same for my sump. I can get the acrylic cnc routed with a router I'm having installed (work) next week, but i'm worried about the adhesion. Did you use weldon 4, or do you have any tips for me on what I should use?

Thanks!!

Tank look phenomenal. Mind if I ask you how what kind of organic filtration you're using? I don't see a refugium - pellets, vinegar/vodka? Just skimming? Thanks!

Im not sure what the tank builder used. I helped join pieces together but he did all the gluing. Sorry im not much help on that.

Here is what im using

Reef octopus 5000i with bubbleblaster 5000 pump. This skimmer does a great job and really pulls out some nasty stuff

I run carbon and gfo in a two chamber reactor from bulk reef supply. It is powered with a mag 9 pump

A korallin 3002 calcium reactor is used to keep up alk, calcium, mg.
I also dose brs media of the same above if needed

I use kalkwasser for my auto top off that is ran by a float switch. The kalkwasser is stirred in a reactor chamber before its pumped into the sump

That is it no refugium or dosing or pellets. So far the tank over the last 8 months has shown 0 nitrates, 0 phosphates, 1200 mg, 420 calcium, 9.0 alk

Those are some sweet numbers I hope to have.

This weekend i picked up a huge colony of pink lemonade along with some other nice acro colonies

 

[sahin]

You are one lucky guy to have picked up the colony of Pink Lemonade. Its one of my must haves...

 

[Stylaster]

corals are growing in well, tank is starting to get a lil cramped

 

[Newbie Aquarist]

Your tank looks very good and coming along well.

 

[sahin]

Looking great! Lots of colours there. Definitely coming along very well.
