Ozment 435 Display / 1000 Gallon System Thread

I us a perforated container for acclimating new fish to the display. This pair of Rhomboid Wrasse stayed in this container for 4-5 hours before being released.....

I need to get some new shots up as I finalized the aquascaping - VERY open design with numerous caverns and tunnels with all rock at least 6" from the back wall.
 
Very Nice build!
I know it doesn't really matter but I thought I found my 435 gallon buddy but yours are slightly below 400 g
But you have more overall water volume than mine and better looking too!

I really enjoyed the 'summary quick build thread' format; so many threads become so long that it is overwhelming to read. Yours got right to the point without sacrificing essential details. Nice!
I noticed that the LumenBright reflectors provided better par values than the LumenMax reflectors, yet you ended up using the LumenMax reflectors? Were there other considerations?
 
Thanks again guys.

S - Your welcome to swing back by any time to look. The 100G mixes in the container above with the Blueline pump. When I want to do a WC, I open a valve that's T'd off my return that pumps 100G out of the house. Then I close that valve and open the valve from the Blueline vertically so it then pumps the new water 16' down the wall to the place where my drains and filter socks are. The main key is having a sump large enough to handle enough water to run everything without 100G in it.

I'm doing a change tomorrow if you want to swing by. Takes about 20mins tops.

Now if I could just make swapping out carbon and/or GFO easier/cleaner.....

Click to expand...

I already had 3 Lumenmax Large and they spread the light enough with the right par for me so I can get away with only 2 22" off the water. I didn't look at other reflectors as these were the only 2 I was interested in for my setup.
 
Do you have something that prevents the fairy wrasse from jumping out the main display ? netting/ cover?

Beautiful fish! by the way!
 
I agree, I enjoyed your summarized build thread. Wonderful reef... question: I've seen that modular aluminum rack that people use for lighting racks, what is the name of it?
 
FYI for those doing the light rack... I started out cutting with a dremel and quickly abandoned that to go with the Sawzaw. Much faster with the same clean cuts. :)
 
Work in progress....still need to clean up a lot but snapped a quick iphone shot the other day after re-arranging a lot of the coral that has grown a little faster than expected.

I sold a large amount of the monti colonies, plates, and some SPS colonies to make room for these to grow.
