hi everybody ;D
I started this tank on september 5th, 3 weeks plus ago.
added live rock and sand and let the water run ( seeded with LR from existing tank ) and transferred everything over after 2 weeks
Thankfully there were no casualties 8)
My tank dimensions are a little different from everyone else's here as i notice most tanks here are rather long than tall. I decided on a higher tank due to space constrains and
for a different rock scaping . i have 190 pounds of live rock and 2 inches of coral sand.
tank dimensions are 60 inch x 24 inch x 30 inch
and sump 48 inch x 18 inch x 16 inch
Tank equipments :
Light fixture and ballast are DIY, 2 x 250 w BLV 20000k MH and 2 x 54 w T5HO ( giesemann pure actinic and actinic plus )
Skimmer is also DIY using ehiem 3000 as the pump
The tank has 3 sources of circulation
1: 1320 GPH return pump ( ehiem 5000)
2 :koralia 4 powerhead ( 1200GPH )
3. chiller return ( 800GPH )
