Philip's 210gal Basement Tank

[pco1988]

Hey Everyone,

I hope you enjoy them, comments good or bad most certainly welcome.

The pics are not my best, not all the algea is scrubed and the glass is pretty dirty. I just wanted to post some pics to show progress, I hope to clean up the tank a little bit more and get better pics up soon.

Updated pics of the sump and back room soon to follow.

Awesome looking tank! Can we get an equipment list?

What are you using to vent the lights?

I used duct hosing to connect the reflectors together and in the backroom there is a turbine fan that is really really quiet.

I am still putting together the equipment list and will post it soon.

Great start !

What are some of the reasons for choosing the 210?

I have been considering the same size, upgrade from 120.

TIA

I have 3xLumenarc III's with 3xXM 400w 20K bulbs run by 400w Ice Cap Ballasts (Is that what you are looking for?).

Actually I don't work there anymore, I have worked at both Today's Pet in the Annapolis Mall, and House of Tropicals in Glen Burnie but you can still find me in both all the time (like once a week at the very least).
