My 140 gal tank - The first steps...

[Ozcha]

Hi all,
After moving several houses in the past 2 years, with no option to have my own Reef aquarium, I finally bought a new place few monthes ago.
Due to that fact, I'm planing a new SPS based tank - 140 gal - Rimless.
My project (if you can call it a project, comparing to some awsome monster tanks people have here) is in his first steps.
The sizes will be (and excuse me for using the metric system ): 120cm length, 80cm depth and 50cm height.

Here's a sketch of the tank:

The stand is made from galvanized iron with heat paint (black).
Each profile is 40 x 40mm, 2.5mm thickness.
5 legs, upper and lower shelf (metal).

The skimmer is a new model of XR (eXtreme Reef) > Pictures will be shown soon.
A new series of skimmers, Designed and Developed by a new Israeli Company.

Since everything is being build as we speak (/write), I don't have any further info to share.

Stay tuned if I managed to make you interested, even a bit

Thanks,

10x,
Feel free to use this thread to give some updates about your tank.
After all, it's the same size, same design, same designer

Got my new skimmer a few days ago.
As mentioned before, a new XR C-180 skimmer.

Light System will be 10 T5 bulbs - 54W, hang from the Ceiling, should arrive in a couple of weeks from the east.

Will give more updates as soon as I have any...

Hi all,
Here's some updated pics...
Sorry for the bad lightning, Anyway I try, all the surrounding reflects at my tank.


The full tank:

The plumbing includes a 4 serial exits to different consumers (Phosphat reactor, Zaulit filter, Carbon reactor and one more, just in case).
From those 4 the water continue to the main tank.
Main pump is still under consideration. Didn't make up my mind yet.

The two tubes coming out of the wall goes from the sump and through the wall (3 meters) and out to the porch where the chiller will stand.

More updates, during this weekend (after the lightning system and main pump will arrive).

C'ya :bigeyes:

Very nice.

Very nice, but what is the measure of your tank it looks so small for a 140g.

 

[Ozcha]

Tank = 120 * 80 * 50 (cm) = 120g
Sump = 20g.

That's a nice build.
