Tank...

I will be moving the contents of the 90 gallon to the tank tomorrow.

Now we're talking. Making us hold out for the money shot... My, that's a large skimmer you have there.

Who made that sump ,Ray Charles?

 

[cateyes]

ah yes,, i knew you were good for some pics..

now two questions..

what is that material under the fuge and sump? and what is it for??

that return pump is going where???

is that a full lit tank shot or just actinic????

and one more...ok,, now i want to see behind the tank and stand.... so could i get a pic of that????? i'll be plumbing my own soon so i'm trying to get ideas.

well,, maybe that was more than two questions....

oh yeah,,, did i mention that it looks really nice... good luck with moving the livestock...

 

[Rendos]

There is foam under the stand and stand. Not really necessary but I think it helps reduce noise from pumps vibrating, etc.

The return pump is going right there....it will feed my chiller, and then up to the tank.

Actinics only in that shot.

It is nearly impossible to get a picture of behind the tank...but if you look back a page or two, you can see all the plumbing there.

P.S. - I held out for the money shot as long as possible, but I am only human.

 

[cateyes]

ok,, i get the foam thing...

but the return pump water is going to get into the tank through what??? is that where the sea swirl comes into play???

all right,, i'll look back, but i thought you had changed the plumbing up some...

 

[Rendos]

Oh yeah...it will return through a 1/2" sea-swirl. I just have not done that part yet. I need to cut a hole in the top bracing of the tank for the sea-swirl to go through, and plumb it.

[Rendos]

Here it is ...finished...finally...

Clammies...

Pink millepora....

A little too cloudy still for this shot, but here is an end shot...

I am no expert, but that looks really good.

 

[cateyes]

that looks AWESOME!!! very realistically reefy looking and all the open swimming space.... i'm sure all of your fish will be happy!!!

how is the rock on the left side secured?? is it just carefully placed or anchored together somehow??

 

[Rendos]

Thanks...
The rocks are all just precariously balanced. Actually they are stacked quite firmly. Marshall Islands rock has a way of locking together better than most other types of rocks.
Everything seems to be clearing up...slowly, but surely.

Sump shots with skimmer running.

Nice aquascaping. Much better pics than in the SPS forum.

 

[eyebedam]

[Rendos]

Thanks. It keeps getting more and more clear.
