Very nice so far..!!!
May I ask where you got those fans?

 

[bluenassarius]

Gabe,

lookin good. when are you planning to transfer the contents of your old tank to this one?

Gabe,
im using the very same fan... super quiet ... awesome choice...

elite,
i got that fan over at walmart ... was really cheap and works excelent.

 

[gabe3d]

Walmart is where i got them from, but during this time of the year you won't be able to find them. Home Depot Online has them.

I'm hoping to be able to transfer everything over saturday night, the RODI unit doesn't exactly fill up the tank very fast...

That is sooo clean of a setup , very nice !!! Are your returns going to be driller or HOB ? Or is the pumping just not run for it yet.


Your tank is a level of orginized I hope to achive one day , very nice !

Cool... Thanks guys.. I found it on HD website. $15 each is not a bad price at all.

All the plumbing for the tank will be ran from the back. Here are the remaining task i need to do.
1. Color the back
2. Run the return plumbing (Dart, Oceansmotions, and 8 Locline flare nozels)
3. Plumb and modify Skimmer
4. Plumb the UV and Chiller inline
5. Plumb closed loop. Either a WavySea or a set of Penductors running on a Sequence Uno series.

are you concered about the two black brace things on the tank casting a shadow when the lights are on?

 

[gabe3d]

Yeah, i am looking to buy another Lumenarc III so that i can put in another MH. If anyone has one for sell let me know. Thanks.

Looks really sweet. The island rockwork looks awesome.

 

[JeffReef]

Very Nice!

 

[gabe3d]

Thanks guys. I'm thinking of adding one more light in the middle to fill in the dark spots, but i am wondering if i should go with 250 or 400. Right now the tank is lit with 2 250watts icecaps. Anyone have any recommendations?

 

[Unarce]

Gabe - I say go with dual 400's because of depth, and than tilt the Lumenarcs inward 15° to maximize coverage.

 

[gabe3d]

Thanks Karl, I was thinking of doing that originally but i will still have the shadow that is casted by the braces so i will definetely need a third lights unless if i remove the brace.

 

[Unarce]

Ah, I see! Three 250's would be my choice, then.
