After 2 weeks of building a stand & canopy and taking finals I got to set up my new tank. here are a ton a pics.

I spent about 12 hours on this to day so there better not be any leaks.

All of the livestock is doing well the clams all opened nicely with in a couple hours now I just have to acclimate them to the new lighting. I had one loss and it was my 5 inch manits shrimp she was going to live in the sump but the move was just to much for her.

What are the dimensions on that tank? Looks like it should be a great clam tank. Shallow and lots of space to view from directly above.
 
Very Nice

Very Nice

Hey,

Great job on the tank. I too think it will be a great clam tank.

Now, can you tell us a little about the tank and gear that runs it? The more I goole at my T. Crocea in my coral tank, the more interested I become in a pure (or nearly so) clam tank.

Again - great job. Looks sweet!

Damn, that is sweet! I looked into doing two REALLY shallow tanks, connected together, but Im poor enough:D

I hope you have fun with it!

P.S. Is it custom?

Very nice. I would like to know what the pipe in the upper left corner is for. Is that used for overflow? I see that it looks like you drilled the bank.
 
I got this custom tank from a customer at the LFS that I work at. It was a breeding tank for clown fish at one time but the he took it down. So I bought it.




Lighting is 2 X 175 watt 10K ushio running off of blueline balasts.

2 x icecap cooling fans



the pipe is a 1.5inch drain in bottom of the tank. It was only 1inch so I redrilled for 1.5inch
Mag 5 for a return
and a hagan 802 for water movement as well.

15 gallon sump with some LR in it and my DIY downdraft skimmer.

I used the aragalive sand sand because it is already washed so the tank was not a glass of milk for 2 or 3 days.



The canopy is supported by black gas pipe the height is adjustable.


I was at work all day so I did not even get to see my lights on today. Hopefully tomarrow I will get to see my lights on.
