Leonardo's Lagoon

[Leonardo_]

Hello,

after two years of Formosa Forest it's time for an upgrade.

I wanted to do something different then before, so I came up with the idea to develop a super shallow Reef-Crest tank.

I bought and collected a lot of equipment the last months, and also graduated in the meantime.
I'm finally finished now, so the build can begin!

System Volume: 250 Gallon (210 Gallon nett.)

Tank: 160 Gallon Super Shallow Rimless (63" x 44" x 14")

Sump: 92 Gallon Rimless (31" x 31" x 21")

Skimmer: Bubble King Super Marine 250

CaRx: Schuran Jetstream II (bypassed with 30 G vessel for extra reactor-time)

KalkwasserRx: Schuran Kalkwasser-Reactor

Lighting: 2x LAIII with AquaConnect 400 Watt and Lumatec E-ballasts (on a Light Rail)

Flow: Tunze Wavebox + 4 Tunze 6101 Streams

Grotech TECIII 3 channel dosing pump for dosing elements etc.

(chair is only there for scale )

BK Supermarine 250

4x Tunze stream 6101

Tunze Wavebox

Schuran Jetstream II Calcium Reactor

CO2 + Backup

Schuran Kalkwasser Reactor

I'm busy building the stand, more updates later!

Its about time Leonardo! Cant wait to see this thing being built. If its half as nice as the forest, it should be awesome.

Wow I was just thinking about how I wanted to set up a tank like this, when I found this thread. Looks like its going to be an awesome tank

I am so looking forward to seeing you new forest. good luck with the buld and your going to need lots of Stags. Have you come up with a list of stags you can share with us that you will be adding? I have a couple that i could share but theres no way that i can ship to you sorry but I am sure you have resources.

Your old forest inspired me to do something similar with my next cube tank.. looking forward to seeing your new build.

I loved the formosa forest, so I'm definitely looking forward to following the progress of the lagoon

Thanks for all the reactions and compliments!


reefer334; I don't have recent pictures of the Forosa Forest, it is already partially broken down
The most recent (an last) pictures you can find on page 9 of the Formosa Forest Thread

trueblackpercula; Thanks for the offer This tank won't hold much branching corals, because I don't have the height for that.
This tank will be dominated by tabling Acropora mostly. (reef crest species)
