New toy to play with.....

[Gwalker]

Thought you guys would like to see my new little aquarium. Its 132"x30"x20" 340 gallons, there's a water bottle on top of it at the far end for scale. I think I might be able to squeeze a coral or two in there...

Very nice I like it alot. What's it gonna have in it when you set it up?

Corals, corals, corals and then some more corals, and then maybe a clam or two.

Looks like you need some overflow covers.

Going to look real nice when you get that set up. Can't wait to see it set up.

Well, I don't have any aquariums at home and it will probably stay that way for a while.

you could always bring it in and set it up in my home if you wanted to put it in a home...I wouldn't mind.

Where did you get that thing?

I love the shape of it!!

I saw that monster on the truck. It is very cool. I hope that it works out for you. Are you doing a closed loop? I thought that I saw some additional holes drilled in w/bulkheads.

Now you just need some of these lights to put over it. I already have a 6 ft fixture on order for July delivery.

Well I thought I'd dredge this old thread up from the depths for an update. I just got my 1hp chiller in yesterday and as you can see I have the four Hamilton 400w 14K HQI lights going. I was very pleased with the coloration of these bulbs, just the right amount of blue and not any variance on coloration through each unit. They are very bright, the picture does not do it justice. Chris with Heartland did the sump and refugium which turned out very nice. All the water will go into the smaller "fuge" on the right and then dump via two 2" lines into the larger sump. The larger sump will have a G4X ASM skimmer, calcium reactor and fluidized bed filter. This has taken a bit longer to set up than I thought but we've been pretty busy latley. I hope to get the system running sometime at the begining of October. I would have it up sooner if I didn't have a couple of small projects to finish before then.

Looking good, can't wait to see it full of corals.

Will you be buying and selling frags once it is up and running?

 

[captbunzo]

Nice work on that sump, Chris. I like the euro-bracing...

 

[mskohl]

very nice. I can think of some long distance swimmers that would be happy in there too.

I recently put that axact skimmer on a 300g in stillwater, it is a GREAT skimmer
