Our 400 Gallon In Wall Natural Sun-Lit Reef"

this sun domes thing is getting popular man.. cant wait to look at the lighting effect created by the sun domes!
 
I am using 3 14" tubes on my 280 in Wisconsin and so far I am really happy. I will see how they fair in winter, I may have to add some supplemental LEDs. I love the solar tubes on reef tanks. Glad to see this new one, great work!!
 
Im diggin the solar tubes too. Nice build so far. I love those dimensions... perfect height to length ratio.
 
The 400 is in the house!

You're not supposed to make the mermaid clean the glass! Then they look all annoyed in the obligatory mermaid shot!

Your tank looks great, can't wait to see what becomes of it!
 
Guy’s help me chose a protein skimmer, I want it to be external. It’s going to be mounted in my pump room. I’m looking at
Super Reef Octopus XP-8000 External Cone Protein Skimmer
My Reef Creations Reeflo Orca Pro II
My Reef Creations MR-4 Protein Skimmer

Any other suggestions?
 
there is a guy on here "reefski"
he ran that skimmer on his 1500gal tank .(i think it was 1500)
its how he spend his daughters inheritance. (your get the joke once you find the thread)

you might ask him how he liked his. if you want some hands on experience
just a thought
 
Sand and salt came I love Foster & Smith's free shipping for orders over $49.00

how many pounds of sand are you using? Are you using the sugar fine?
Click to expand...

400 lbs I might add more, I was thinking about going with the sugar fine (0.1mm) but thought I wouldn't be able to control the sand storm I went with the Oolite grade (0.6mm)
 
Solar tubes look great...thanks for posting the price as well. That's very reasonable and I'm sure you installing them saved you a TON.

Great work...very clean.
 
not much new this past week I needed a break from the 3 weeks of buildout and working our small business. I'm waiting for ups to bring some stuff then I'll be back to work.

Thanks, we are going to be running some test in the next few weeks with a par meter I will post the results.
