Mike's 225 Reef Tank Log

[JW Jersey]

Hey mike, how do have your returns entering the tank. Does it go right over the euro brace then down into the tank? What pump are you using for your return? Thanks...

 

[Tiki G.]

Man I just love seeing all the stands people build on here. Yours looks awesome. I always have to give kudos to those that build them as nice as this.

 

[Salty Brother]

looking good, but you really do need some acinics to pull out more color. I really like that monti! The green polyps are sweet!

 

[AVALover5498]

From the pics already this is shaping up to be a gorgeous tank!!!

Got the actinics. Tank has been doing well, the skimmer is working great too.

The return goes through one of the overflow boxes then up over the euro bracing into the tank. I can take some pictures if you would like.

Looks like i too have flatworms now

Im not exactly positive how they were introduced, but I think I may have either gotten them from the rock or from an acro colony. I have lost 5-6 frags already, and it looks like they are getting at my huge colony

TMPCC is in the mail, along with some flatworm exit. If anyone has any extra interceptor, please let me know.

[charlesjordanjr]

sorry to hear about that. You going to use flatworm exit?

Great tank! I have a 280 miracles awaiting it's spot as an inwall in my new house. I apoligize if I missed it in the thread, but what are the details on your sump?

 

[MdM31]

i have everything back and running now and im just finalizing some plumbing. I will get pictures ASAP!

 

[JCurry]

Sweet tank! It will be awesome again after your move I would bet even better. What part of VA?

 

[Bax]

I am sure it'll be even better when v 2.0 is fully on line

 

[yoboyjdizz]

Your tank was awesome, can't wait to see what it looks like now almost a year later.

 

[MdM31]

i will be having my own sump room this time, so lots more room to work with.

im in fairfax virginia now.

 

[danskim]

Woohoo for MD/DC/VA area!

 

[weap0n_X]

Your setup looks very nice. I am getting a stand and canopy built similar to yours. You should check out www.wamas.org (Washington D.C. Area Marine Aquarist Society). I hope everything made it okay in the move.

 

[JCurry]

weap0n_x ya beat me to it I was going to tell him about WAMAS. Mike it's a great club, I belong to both of the ones in the area, WAMAS would be the closes to you. Can't wait to see the new sump room and tank setup.
