Deep blue 34 gallon rimless build

[cody125g]

Hey guys my names cody I'm from St Louis. I've been keeping saltwater tanks for about 10 years now. I've been without a tank for the past year and a half. Exited for this build my plan is a 50/50 mixed reef some sps. mainly birds nest and pocilipora and some montiporas to keep maintenence lower on the tank.

Deep blue 34g rimless 36 x 18 x12
Sump 20 gallon breeder
Carbon reactor
Swc 301 protein skimmer
Jeabo dc4000 return pump
Jeabo wp 10 x 2 circulation pumps
Lighting is 6 x 24w t5 diy 2 channel
10 3w led moon lights
200w heater
Reef keeper lite controller with ato, temp,pH probes

I just now decided to start this build thread after the tank has been cycled for 2 months. Started the tank with 40 lbs dry rock from bulk Reef supply and 20 lbs Fiji pink substrate. Wanted a minimal aqua scape lots of holes and lots of flow.

As for corals I keep a good eye on tank parameters and all corals are happy so far.

Nice process... Hope your tank is going well.
I may start my own journal here... hopefully soon!

Just bought a redsea pro test kit so I got some tank parameters.

Calcium 450
Alk. 7.8
Mag 1300
Sg 1.025
Po4 undetectable
No3 10 ppm

And I wasn't getting the flow I wanted so I rearranged the rock. Corals are still a Lil unhappy with the move but still good.

Better pics up soon!!

Looks good.

I literally just brought this tank home. How's you set up your overflow and return?

Sorry for the late reply I have it raised up pretty high in the overflow box to keep noise down that drops straight down to the sump return has 3 valves and a union
