Mark's upgrade to 120 Oceanic Tech

chimmike said:
I gotta wonder, those drain lines are looking to be small diameter. Are you sure they're going to flow enough, since it looks like they're not full siphon?

Nice tank setup so far.

Yes, my wife called me at work and said I think your pump died, I don't hear anything... Panic set in, I said put your hand in the tank and see if you feel anything coming out of the return lines she said I sure do... It was right then I knew every penny spent was worth it, they are that silent!:dance: looking forward to your build.
 
Those are stockman style overflows lol and if you wanted to bo with 1" pipe it would be majorly easy to make them and I might try those out as im not a big fan of the durso and or the herbi style. But I only have one full siphon and one a backup. Your going to love that eheim its really quiet. Youll here the maxi over them. But looking good so far. Also for your aquascape I would take that big branching rock and stand it up like a tree it would make for some really good coral placement.

I tried to stand up this piece ,looked ok to me but I like this set up better,thanks for suggestion
 
Well ,today was the"big move". Moved my 65g. to 120g. Everything seems to be doing fine so far. My SPS lost some color because of this move, also broke some of colonies by accident. For now just put corals randomly, will glue them to final place next weekend.Still waiting for my lights,should get it by next weekend so for now I am using my retro MH and T5 on Icecap ballasts. Tuesday I am getting N/P bio pellets and BB3000 pump ,also dosing pumps from BRS,I will set them up then.

Thanks,it is not finished yet, Left island will be kind of bonsai style with tabling acros on top and montis on the bottom,righ island most of SPS will be glued nicely ,also will put more LPS on the bottom.
 
Well tank has been running one week now since the move. Everything survived ,no loses so far except corals lost some of their colors. Tek light finally arrived ,looks very nice with this tank and is bright. I will see how corals respond to it.Also hooked up reactor with N/P pellets two days ago,will monitor and post results.
