New project

[coralfarmer]

I wanted to share my new project with the club.
It's a 60"x36"x36" Acrylic peninsula tank made by Cal Aquaria. I have it drilled for a closed loop. And an internal overflow open loop with sump.

People have been asking what I've been doing in NYC. So I figured this new project would be a great way to show everyone what I do at City Aquarium.

Hey James

 

[coralfarmer]

The custom sump was built by My Reef Creations. It's 36"x24"x24" with two sock holders and room for a FMC-822 media reactor and a MR-2 skimmer both built by My reef creations.

Hey Grant how's it going?

Here a pic of the skimmer

James,

looking good. I'm guessing that's for a customer install. What are we seeing in the background. Is that a show room?

 

[coralfarmer]

Yeah that's the Studio.

Hey Bob,
Yep it is for a for a new client.

I am Planning on using 6 x 100 Watt Elliptical Cannon LED 3 white and 3 blue in tandem.

And using "Real Reef Rock" for the hardscape.

Looks awesome James

Cool looking tank but its too tall for me.... I want my dream tank around 20" or so tall

 

[Reef Bass]

Large tanks are awesome, when they are being maintained by other people.

I calculate about 337 gallons. Yeah buddy. Is it going to be reef or fowlr?

A tank that size might be able to accommodate more than one tang. :lmao:

Nice to hear from you James.

That is going to be one cool tank

 

[coralfarmer]

Ken it's going to be a reef tank

The studio/showroom looks sleek. Almost like a "modern reef gallery"

 

[dippi]

That is exactly what it is. We call it "Space".

We have four coral flats with ecoxotic 100w elliptical cannons on rails.
With a Giant 8' ETSS Downdraft skimmer.

Then on the other side our fish life support system. We quarantine everything before it goes out to a client.

Wow James,
No wonder you left, you are working on some really cool projects.

 

[coralfarmer]

Guy, it's been a lot of fun. And a great experience. It's my dream job. If you call cleaning protein skimmers all day a dream job.
