600g FOWLR

Just saw your thread for the first time. I love the very creative and unique rock work. It reminds me of swim throughs while diving.

Gotta say, fun read can't wait to see the updates

Just found this thread, what an amazing build! Can't wait to see what you and your son get up to next. A reef tank that size is bound to be amazing!

Amazing rock work. You should have an aquascaping business.

Updates?

Awesome build.

Do you think the one dart pump is enough for the closed loop or do you wish you had more. I'm building a 84x36x40 tank and have planned to use 2 dart pumps for the closed loops. Just trying to see how you feel your flow is with one before I decide.
Thanks

I know a long time has passed, but I would love to know what pump you are using here, if not you, maybe someone from the forum can recognize this pump on the right side?

Sorry for the late reply (been away from the hobby for awhile) it's a syncra 5.0 by sicce

I made an attempt to get my tank going a few yrs ago but the passion just wasn't there, I had bought a new pump for the closed loop but it failed after 6 months so I just let everything sit. This go around I purchased a dolphin amp master 6250 and am excited to start stocking again. I will be adding pics as I go (forgot how to add pics so I'll try to figure that out again)

Magnificent setup ! My last one was a FOWLR, but for simplicity's sake I went with an artificial reef in my current tank....

Thanks for the reply, I'm sure that your configuration will be the same or better than the previous one, sometimes simply the passion for the hobby is lost, but it's difficult not to return, I will be aware of your updates, good luck.

Here's a pic of the tank as it currently sits (sad) with just a couple of t5s for lighting. I removed the 250w mh due to heat and energy consumption. I'll start removing the artificial corals and slowly start adding real corals (softies) as soon as I add the new lights (led).

A pic of the new dolphin pump... Moved to the outside of the fish room because its a bit louder then the reeflo and I won't have any heat issues in the fish room

Ive got the skimmer going again after many yrs of non use. I fixed a leak on the skimmers plumbing and I have to admit that it's exciting to see it running again

I just pulled the trigger on 2 new kessil 360x with wifi dongle... I've seen a few videos of them and the shimmer looks like my old MH lights. I might need to add a 3rd one but I'll see what it looks like with these 2 first. Pics to come
