Here is some plumbing pics.

5 bulkheads are for:
1. Backup standpipe
2. Chilled water return to tank
3. Return pump
4. Skimmer supply
5. Durso

I was thinking to myself, "Something about this guy doesn't seem right."

And there it is in the bottom right corner! A Man U fan! I knew it! haha

Amazing tank, even for a manc

Its ok, I'm a Liverpool fan so neither one is an improvement on the other

[StripestheEel]

Thanks for the comments guys. Always good to hear that other reefers enjoy it as much as I do.

 

[reefmo]

I can only hope and dream that someday I will be able to emulate this beaut.

Nice tank and a great build!

Hey there mate, You've been a busy bee. NICE VIDEO!!!

Be nice to see how those corals "fill in". I suppose until I get my big tanks going I will just live vicariously through yours.

 

[StripestheEel]

Haha thankyou!

I have been even busier. Took some snaps today!

Emperor
- From being a full juvenile to now has lasted approx 20 months. Nearly there!!

Powder Blue
- Great character, has calmed down alot since intro of Tennenti

Blue Throat Trigger
- Was going to get a female but will wait and see, he is quite the tankmate!

Clown Tang
- Should have seen the colour on him when Tennenti went in (fantastic!!)

Male Lineatus Wrasse
- Is nice and fat now (was a little skinny on purchase) quite often "dances" with the female

Mystery Wrasse
- Funny little fella - Not scared at dinner time either!!

Tennenti Tang
- Newest and probably last tank mate, shy at first, now swimming confidently with all other tankmates. Did I mention it is 8 inches!!

 

[StripestheEel]

Some FTS sort of...

Dining Room Side

Pool Table Room Side

5 foot width Side
- See the dim centre channel? Rain and clouds outside!!

Thanks for looking guys, I'm loving my tank at the moment!!

hey thats nice i have never seen that were do you get it or how to build it let us know thanks

 

[Reeftanks6]

Wow what an update. Your tank looks absoulutely amazing. Great pictures. All your fish look really good and healthy. Glad to hear that the Tennenti Tang is doing good and the PBT settled down. Always a good thing when those PBT's and Clown calms down after a new fish. I use to have a Tennenti Tang but he didnt make it. Where did you get him? But love all the other fish and corals in the tank. Great Job!

The tank itself? Just built by a local tank maker here in Australia, more specifically Queensland.

Let me know if you mean something else though and will try and help.

Sourced from a importer here in Queensland (overseas specimen). Cost me $300 AUD :idea: but well worth it. I was abit scared getting such a large (adult) specimen but has adapted to tank life really well!

 

[Reeftanks6]

Thats sounds great Stripes. Love the look of these fish! But i am sure the money was worth it. Keep it up!

 

[NaClH20NMYVEIN]

WOW! The tank looks amazing! Love the new tang.

Beautiful build! I love the scale - width of tank gives great depth and rock work shows off the beauty of the fish! Do you have pics of the sump layout?
