Description
I'm planning a new tank to hold one small Angler (A. Maculatus probably) and wanted to keep the tank a nano sized yet with the ability to accomodate the bioload of an angler. The tank will be setup to provide good filtration, and be able to sustain LPS and Softies. The plans are below, please post some suggestions and critisisms
Thanks!
Display Tank
16" x 12" x 9"
- rimless
- rounded corners
- polished rim top
- spartech polycast acrylic
- 2x returns with sched 80 1/2" bulkheads
- black back and bottom
External Overflow
6" x 3" x 6"
- Share a wall with back of tank
- Shallow teeth to promote high water level
- Finely spaced teeth on back wall of tank.
- Teeth spanning all 6" for max surface skim
- 1" Schedule 80 bulkhead drain (durso standpipe will be installed)
- 1" Durso Standpipe
- Clear acrylic
Sump
- 16" x 12" x 12"
- Three chambers
- First: intake chamber, 12" x 6" x 10"
- Second: fuge chamber, 16" x 6" x 9"
- Third: return chamber, 4" x 6" x 8"
- Chambers will be pieced together, the fuge taking up half of the tank, and the intake and return taking up the other half.
- Two baffles between the intake chamber and fuge chamber, forcing water down then up.

Intake Chamber
- Tunze Nano Reefpack
- 2x Hydor THEO 50watt heater
- 2x IceProbe Chillers
- 2x 1.25" holes drilled for chiller probes
Fuge
- Tonz of Chaeto
- Xenia
- Azoo Palm Light
Return Chamber
- Quiet One 2200 return pump
- Reef Fanatic ATO Sensors
ATO
- Fed directly from RO/DI unit resevoir, controlled by ReefFanatic ATO controller
- TOM Aqualifter
Lighting
- K2 70watt HQI Viper
- 20K/14K Lamp
- Current Moonlight
- Azoo Palm Light for Fuge
- 8 hours of MH
- Reverse PhotoPeriod for Fuge / Moonlights
Flow and Plumbing
- 1" + 1/2" flexible black PVC
- 1/2" locline
- Sched 80 bulkheads
- about 250gph after head/plumbing loss
- Possible OM 2-Way
Temperature Control
- Two IceProbe chillers run off a T from the return pump, and returns back into the fuge chamber.
- Two 50watt heaters
- Controlled by AC Jr. and DC8
Controllers
- Aquacontroller Jr. Controller + DC8
- ReefFanatic ATO Controller
Custom Stand
- 16" x 18" x 48"
- Three shelves
- Bottom: Sump, sound sealed 16" x 18" x 30"
- Middle: ATO Resevoir, Light Ballast, vent fans 16" x 18" x 12"
- Top: Controllers, DC8, 16" x 18" x 6"
- Double doors opening to the entirety of all shelves
- Dark Oak finish
Sump design picture:
It's all to scale except the iceprobes will stickout .5" more. They'll totally fit with the stand made larger than that.
You can see the fuge is freaking big. I hope that'll help with the nutrient export. I'll be keeping a bunch of xenia and chaeto in this area. Maybe even some shrimp for the frog to eat later on.
The drain will be right over the top of the leftmost probe.
