Pictures of Bomber's barebottom SPS tank and related equipment

[tankslave]

Oh look the chiller is working....

 

[tankslave]

It was a little warm today in LA, esp considering its ALMOST OCTOBER!!!

 

[tankslave]

Just for the record, some before and after pics. The first one was taken a few months ago right after I removed the sandbed. I had to rearrange the rockwork to put the starboard in....

 

[tankslave]

That one snail made all the difference....

President Bomber ,
What are your rocks elevated on? Are those small rock pieces under the larger LR acting as legs?

I am "cooking" at the moment, 53 days before going BB.

:dance:

Thanks,

[tankslave]

he keeps rearranging his rockwork...

 

[melev]

You mean the hurricanes keep rearranging his rockwork.

 

[Bomber]

That they do! LOL

President Bomber ,

Here's a old picture showing just the rocks. They are arranged to be up on rock points.

Is that 8ft x 2ft x 2ft?

 

[tankslave]

I think its bigger than that. its 450gal dude.

 

[tankslave]

8' x 2' x 2' is 240g. you sure that's a 450 that you're planning there?....

 

[tankslave]

Oh, you're in Japan. Liters to cubic inches etc... 12" to a foot... we're all messed up over here. 231 cubic inches to a gallon. Come to think of it, how big is bomber's tank? I thought it was 10', but now that I calculated it, its hard to see how that's a 450...

Bomber,

What material is this that you are using for your overflows? I have a tank that I need to put something around my overflows to prevent fish from entering them.

Thanks,
Jay

350 gallon tank and 100 gallon sump. Total 450 gallons.

Jay, it's called "gutter guard". You put it on the gutters around your house to keep leaves out. You can probably get it at any hardware store.
I just cut it to fit and put the pieces together with pull ties.

Mine is 72x30x34 = 340g with a 150g sump that actually will contain 110g water.

So if Bomber's tank is 10' - 10x2x2 would make it 300g? I'm sure the info is out there somewhere.

 

[downset]

Can I get a latin name for this fish and I assume he is reef safe?

 

[HaKs310]

Ostracion meleagris camurum, I believe.

 

[tankslave]

...Reef Safe...
mwahhahahah...
I always forget about the sump

 

[physicslord]

Yeah, duh ....

I have a 12G nanocube with a 100G sump so my tank is 112G.
