Just sharing... nothing important

[Kip]

well... i dont have a nice fancy equipment room where all the toys are showcased in a nice, neat fashion. they are spread out b/w the garage and under the stand.

ballast located about 20-some feet away from the display out in the garage

 

[Kip]

oceansmotions set up... its a 4way ver 2 (i think) two outlets... i have it set up where two outlets shot from the right, mix r & l, then from the left, then mix r & l, and repeat. this is pushed by a sequence 5800... so i am getting about 4500gph back and forth across the tank in a minute rotation. Pretty much like have 9000gph loop flow.

not what you were looking for... but best i can offer from here at work.... speaking of... time to do some

Impressive!! but I don't think it fair to have such a small tv on the left, lol... Unless you replace that with another smaller tank, then it would look much better

thats a 51" widescreen... all i could afford at the time!

this is my little "whatever i feel like making it from time to time" tank

started as a refugium... then doubled as a frag tank... then pod-ville and now kind of a little bit of all 3. This is an older shot. It's lit by a 70w DE bulb w/ reflector made from a lowes halogen spot light. The manifold from the right is coming from the return. Seq4300 feeds the fuge, display, chiller, and c-reactor.

 

[Kip]

EURO CS83 w/ gate valve mod and i swapped out the sedra5000 for a 9000.... i love this skimmer

the diagonal plumbing are the overflows from the fuge and display (larger diameter from the display)

dual temp controller for heater/chiller... 2ndary single temp controller for lighting (chiller fails, TC shuts down halides)

:eek2: :eek2: omg.. With the tank beside it, it look like my 19" monitor at work!

Now looking at it again, everything look miniture..hahaha...

 

[Kip]

little mod for bubble control.... done to the skimmer outlet and overflow lines... i use plumbing and make the outlets "U" back up to the water surface just above the water line.... water spills over and air dissipates.

 

[Kip]

chiller and nu-clear canister (for occasional carbon use)... chiller soon to be upgraded and moved outside since i now have part of my system in the garge with the chiller.... that arrangement is none too efficient

 

[Kip]

c-reactor and k-reactor

 

[Kip]

fluidized media reactor (and old homemade k-reactor behind it that feeds my 75g softy/lps tank)

i run small amounts of rowa and change it monthly

 

[Kip]

corner of my garage

 

[Kip]

finally... also in the garage... from top to bottom....

quarantine tank that can be taken on and offline
frag tank lit RDP
and bottom is the 150g agri-supplemental sump that is connected with the sump under the stand in the house.

 

[Kip]

thats about all

 

[Kip]

anybody else get one of these from r-mad? ... this was in my frag tank for a while and now in my display. i was really skeptical about it at first, but it has held its color really well.

pur polyp/yellow nasuta

Tremendous set-up there. What do you have to put in the wife's coffee to get that much garage space?

As for the A. nastua, I got mine from a local reefer about 18 months ago. It was a very slow grower to begin with but has picked up a little speed in the last half a year. I have it about midway the tank in pretty strong, chaotic water flow. It has kept its color very well. Purple polyps are outrageous.

Outstanding!

Very nice tank/system/setup/corals

Thanks for sharing.

[Kip]

thanks for saying nice things fellas

Ivy... mine went thru a darker period and is now a super bright lime color with the pur polyps. I was getting disappointed when it was darkening, but i think i keep my water stripped enough to keep it bright. Garage space.... as long as she can get her car in there, thats all she cares about. We have been talking about getting outta this shoebox house and a larger tank is a part of the discussions. She is on board 100%... man... i got lucky in more ways than one when I said "i do."
