It's finally here!!!

[mnguyen878]

This is my new tank that was just picked up yesterday. It's a custom 36x24x18 eurobraced, with a corner overflow. There's also 3/4 inch holes in the front corners for my seaswirls. The stand is 36 high, and I think everything turned out perfect. The only thing that I wanted that wasn't done was a 3/4" hole in the overflow for the return, but I'm content with how everything turned out. Here some pics:

That's it so far, but I'll post some more pictures as I move along.

Thanks for looking, and some tips and pointers would be greatly appreciated too.

Looks good!
Who made the tank/stand?
What are the plans for lighting and filtration?
Reef/FO/FOWLR?

 

[mnguyen878]

I believe the tank/stand was made by Visio. Tom from Carson Tropical fish ordered it for me.

In regards to lighting, I'm probably going to run 2x250 hqi pendants with about a 2" dsb, LR, and a g2 or 1, and mainly a SPS/zoo tank. So far I have the sump, sea swirls, Iwaki md40rlt for return, fuge light, and chiller. Could I begin the cycling process without the lights? I do have the refugium light, so I can begin my macros right away, but is a light required to cycle? Or will my tank cycle but have no coralline growth?

Thanks,

Mike

Nice tank...what do you do with all that wall space? shoulda go bigger.

 

[Brian Koyama]

Sweet Tank. Can you PM me roughly how much you paid for that setup? Do you guys have the address for Carson Tropical?

 

[CamBarr]

who built your stand???

cam barr

 

[mnguyen878]

I think the tank and stand was built by Visio, I'm not totally sure. Tom at Carson Tropical Fish ordered everything, and I'm not sure who he goes through.

If I were you I would go ahead and start the cycling. If you had the lights on they would just promote alga and you would have no way to get rid of it because you dont have a cleanup crew yet.

Is the tank 18' high, or 24' high? I cant really tell by the pic.

 

[HenryTran]

nice tank mike, i thought you would go alot bigger

 

[mnguyen878]

The tank is 18" high.

Thanks Hung, I was gonna go bigger, but I was inspired by my buddies other tank that looks pretty awsome too.

Thanks,

Mike

 

[CamBarr]

what type of lighting are you going to use

 

[mnguyen878]

I was planning on using 2x250 ROIII pendants, but that fell thru, now I'm looking for any fixture or pendant thats 2x250 HQI. If anyone has one for sale please lemme know.

Thanks,

Mike
