Lotus50God's 340 Large fish & Shark/Ray Tank

[LOTUS50GOD]

I fixed the flushing sound from the durso, by adjusting the ball value .. I still have to build a reverse durso to quiet the splashing sound when the water goes from the display to the sump

 

[LOTUS50GOD]

Reverse Durso is in... quiet as a church mouse.

 

[LOTUS50GOD]

salinity at 1.020.. Little low, but I still need to add rock, so I will be removing water. I will set salinity to 1.025 after I get the rock work in.

Looking forward to more pics!

 

[LOTUS50GOD]

Im washing sand... all 270# of it.. This sucks..

Next pics will be of rock work...

 

[LOTUS50GOD]

got most of the sand washed... hopefully get the rest done today, then its off to aquascaping.

Well maybe no one else will comment on here but I will.


Congrats on the progress.

What are using for flow in the tank?

What kind of skimmer are you using?

Looks good, I really like your aquascaping

 

[LOTUS50GOD]

There is a ton of open spaces and lots of coves.

The tang in the first pic is almost 10"

 

[TheSaltwaterGuy]

Looks good.

 

[Reeftanks6]

Looks great

 

[LOTUS50GOD]

well I blew my first breaker today while setting up my aquacontroller. Im calling an electrican to drop 2 more 20 amp circuits

 

[LOTUS50GOD]

Full tank shot. My other 2 PFO 400w MH will be here tomorrow.

Right side where the overflow is. You can see that the returns are pointed towards the surface.

Left side of the tank. There is no excessive water movement there, but the water is still cloudy

This is my sohal about 3" off the acrylic front panel

Another pic of the right side of the tank. See the cloudy water

 

[arctictwist]

is this also the shark/ray tank?

 

[Shawn D]

Sweet sohal, how big is he?

 

[LOTUS50GOD]

I would have to guess about 10" or so... he runs the tank for sure. Anything I put in there would have to be smaller or he gets upset.

 

[Shawn D]

That is one awesome fish, he sure makes a great show piece

We are not going to do a shark now... maybe a small ray.
