Oceanic Tech Tank Owners Thread

120 tech update pictures

New additions since my last update include three Disbar Anthias, pistol, Pete, shrimp and a Yasha goby, bristletooth tang, branching frogspawn, a few different Candy Cains, a couple of Zoa frags, a few brain corals and an nameless SPS.

Name that SPS please.

Maybe I missed it, but I don't see the specs on the tech tanks on the Oceanic website? I just setup my 75g anemone tank, but love to replace it with a tech tank.

there not on the websight but i can list the sizes for you
45 24x18x24
70 36x18x24
90 48x18x24
120 48x24x24

 

[Reef Sponger]

90g looks good to replace my 75g, should fit the new stand that I just had built.

is there retail pricing with those sizes and can we get them from any LFS that can order Oceanic tanks?

I think someone said this already, but I'd really like to see some bigger sizes like a 180 or 210.

I think your new SPS is a type of Pocillipora. Do you have a Sunburst Anthias in there as well? It looks like it. That Solaris is really putting out some nice light! How are you liking it so far?

The Oceanic website site does suck. I went there today and they don't even have those tanks listed. I also could not find a contact e-mail address for them. So I e-mailed AGA. Reef Sponger if your LFS gets Oceanic then they can order you that tank. I'm going to have a LFS order me one. Hopefully someday soon. =)

 

[Reef Sponger]

So funny as about 3 years ago, I asked if Oceanic can build me a custom reef ready tank with black back glass and starphire front glass with center overflow and they said "no". Now look at their tech tanks. LoL

 

[MarineGirl411]

Lol that is weird. Maybe quite a few people asked for a tank like that.

I am wondering some of the overflows on this thread have a black plate over the overflow. Is that part of the Eurobracing? Does it come off? I would think it would have to because of maintenance. Please let me know. TY

MarineGirl411,

The black plate over the overflow just lays across the top of the overflow. It comes off easily. When you get your Tech, make sure yours has the cover included, and also comes with the Oceanic overflow kits. Sometimes, the LFS "forgets" to place them in the tank when the customer is picking up their tank.

yeah, it just sits there. the oceanic phone # is on the contact us page. I will see if I can find it.

I think what you mean to say is that Oceanic "forgets" to place them in the tank.

 

[LarryW]

yeah, I believe that's true. My LFS got it in on a pallet, and I went to the Warehouse with him to see it. both the overflows, and the cap were not in there. he had to get one shipped to replace it.

The Tech series goes up to 120. The Ultimate series does have a 178 gallon and a 215 gallon. Both use Starphire glass and are available as reef-ready tanks.

 

[Texsun]

Are the dimentions of the Ultimate series up to 120g the same as the Tech series?

 

[MarineGirl411]

did you guys ever find out if all three sides are starphire or just the front?

 

[J3REEF]

Tech Series is starphire glass on all three sides.

 

[jlunde]

I think the Ultimate series is Starphire on the front only, but not 100% sure. The 178RR is 60.5 x 24.5 x 29. The 215RR is 72.5 x 24.5 x 29. This is what the rep told me.

 

[LarryW]

yes tech series have starphire on 3 sides...

 

[MarineGirl411]

Well that is great! Are you sure? Did you talk to the manufacturer? I remember some said it was only the front. If all 3 sides are starphire, then that's better.
