Ed Reef's Shallow Crest Inspired ART

[zorden]

is the following flow sufficient for my future 4ft x 2.5ft x 2ft tank?

one return Pump: Ocrean Runner 6500, tunze 6045, 6055 & 6100 (2 pcs) controlled by 7095.
well going to hide 1 or maybe 2 in the tunze rocks (just like you)

If the flow is still insufficient. i guess i will have to add in 1 or 2 units of vortech MP40

Yeah, you have more than enough flow. Only concern is both your 6045 & 6055 is not able to give out random flow, which is equally important.

I would try to sell both your 6045 & 6055 and start off the tank with the 2 x 6100 first. And then in future, once the SPS grows up, you can add 1 MP40w or another Stream, whatever is the latest then

The speed of 6055 can be controlled by a singlecontroller or a multicontroller.

Yes, i can sense it. Maybe he don't want me to drool and think of his tank esp when my exam is imminent.

A really great distress thread for me. Keep up the good work , ed. Sorry it should be fabulous work.

 

[arctictwist]

Yea this thread has provided a bit of stress relief as well as inspiration in my own build...which has slowed to a hault since i went away and came back to work and making up for my vacation!

 

[zorden]

Arctictwist, his cabinet is well done. really love his cabinet. and i guess after seeing ed's tank, i am confused to go for those dosing (light bailing) of zeovit method.

well as for lights. sorry no mh for me. just ten t5 maybe
yes, i guess i will hide my tunzes inside the rock work well i guess my tunzes is not giving my any issue for the past 3 years so is shouldn't for the next 4 years or so

 

[arctictwist]

His stand is one of THE NICEST ive seen. I simply love it. I cant wait to see what the canopy looks like!! Hey to each his, everyone has their own lighting preferences. as well as everything else for that matter. The beauty of this hobby is there are multiple ways to get the same result....your own artistic creation!

T5 works great too.... I love T5 and would have used T5 if not for my silly idea of an island on top of the overflow
