Norwegian 133 g acrylic sps tank

[selje]

This is a build thread for my new project.

I recently moved to a brand new apartment. And the only place I could have a tank was this wall between the kitchen and livingroom.

This is the sketch I got from the manufactorer in Germany.

Later I changed the depth to 750 mm.

Previously I had a Deltec TC 1655 external skimmer. I wanted to try something else on this project and bought this used ATB skimmer from a guy in Denmark. It's a ATB Nano Cone B skimmer.

Not sure if I'm going to use a mesh or needlewheel impeller.

A friend of mine helped me make the stand.

Almost finished.

A packet arrived from Germany yesterday.:bounce2:

Inside:

I have to cut a hole through the wall for the water-runoff box. Also have to move a light switch on the wall.

Hi! I'm good. Been kinda chaotic. New job, new apartment and a new system:bounce2: How are you? Is your tank making any progress?

I am going to try out led for my first time. I have ordered one of these: http://orphek.com/led/orphek-products/atlantik/

Really exciting, looking forward to the progress, thanks for sharing!

Thank you.

Updates:

Got a hole in the wall and a friend of mine helped me remove and change the light switch.

Almost there.

Inside the bench. Not 100% finished yet.

Here is the room behind the wall. Here I will have a sump and all the equipment.:bounce2:

Got myself a dedicated water output to my reversed osmosis (or what you guys call this in english) filter.

A fellow reefer helped me adding foil (is this the right word in english??) on the back wall. It's pretty matt black color.

Sorry for the sweatpants lol (sunday wear:facepalm

looking good, any concerns about the fridge door hitting the tank?

 

[davidadelp]

Looking good Ill be watching. Im suprised an apartment will let you do changes to the actual structure of the building by drill holes through walls etc. Any apartment around here would fall over if we did that.

Thanks, I was, I thought I had to move the door to the other side, but it's exactly enough space to get it open. I'll glue on a little thing on the handle to protect the tank.

Thanks. The wall is not a bearing wall, so that's not a problem

I moved everything from the old aquarium to the new one on the 05th of November.

Corals everywhere, couldn't find room to more than 50% of the liverock.

Everything looked fine a couple of days. Then some of the larger colonies started to RTN.

That resulted in this.

I've lost 90% of my Montiporas (around 10 pieces), every single Acropora (around 90 pieces including a couple of frags) except my Pearlberry (I don't think it will make it, but I hope it will) and three fish (flameangel, anthias and a wrasse). Also my Regal Angel (PD) are having a weird behaviour.

What a weekend. Now my tank is empty except a couple of LPS, Liverock and the pearlberry:facepalm:

 

[leveldrummer]

so sorry for the losses, looks devastating.

Uggg. This hobby can be so brutal. I've been in this hobby a long time and been through a few events like that. Keep on trucking and you'll fill the tank back up before you know it.
