My marineland deep dimension 200gal

[petjobslob]

1. Tank -200 Gallon 48" long x36" deep x27" tall tank. Has Starphire glass on the front the rest is all regular glass. Dual Overflows and black silicon.

2. The stand/canopy - are the Marineland Monterrey setup.

3. Refugium - ADHI 60.

4. Lighting - I was trying to get plasma lighting from stray optical lighting but there was an issue so I just went with 2 x 400 watt 12k Halides + 2x 54 Atinic T5's.......still might add 2 more gonna wait to see how everything does once its cycled and up and running for awhile.

5. Chiller - ActiveAqua Chiller, refrigeration unit 1/4 HP

6. Return - Between 2000-2800 GPH

7. Skimmer - TUNZE MASTER DOC PROTEIN SKIMMER 9410.... had to go with a lower profile skimmer due to the 25" clearance in the Stand and refugium

8. Running a Phosban and Uv

9.Sand - 240 lbs of Bimini Pink

10. Rock - Most was picked up from Animal Attractions in Greeley... 3 pieces of Deep water tonga and 1 awesome dead coral piece was picked up from Great White Aquatics. Roughly 200-250 lbs

11. Rubble rock - about 50-75 lbs in the refugium

Think that covers it.

love DD tanks!!

love it too, I have the 150g DD, Are you concerned that 2 400watt halides in the monterey canopy will be too close to the water and build alot of heat into the tank? I'm still worried about my 150g with a single 20K 400W and how high to hang the fixture....

Well I found out the hard way that it heated up way to much but luckily it was before I put the livestock in so i went to the local hydroponics store and picked up the AACH 25 hydrofarm chiller, way cheaper than the JBJ ( works just fine for me) I picked up 2 pieces of glass that just lay on the plastic layout of the tank and protect it from splash up. The canopy would be one drawback to this tank imo.
