RBG Reef * Little White Ocean

[Rodrigo_BG]

Here I go again! :bounce1:

Ok this is will be my next tank. It's a small tank, 45G, SPS Only as usual.

My last and second tank was my first try with SPS corals and I realy like it. So I'll try again.

Memory of my last tank:

XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX

So here it comes. I really enjoy those "clean styles tanks" so I created a clean & white look therefor I dicided to call it my Little White Ocean. :lol2:

The concept will be straight, base on a few good equipments & dedication, that's all. I'll try to make things in the easy way.

SETUP:

Main tank: rimless 45G

Filtrantion: Bubble King 160

Light: ATI SunPower 6 x 24

Bulbs: ATI

Flow: Tunze & Eheim

Temp: Chiller for the summer & Heater for the winter

Management: Reef Keeper Lite to help me on daily basis.

Bottom: CaribeSea Aragalive Bahamas

The layout will be clean, just a few rocks and some corals. For fishies I will bring my pair of clowns back. Maybe one or two more small friends will join them in the near future.

This is all for now, as soon as possible I'll keep this thread updated.

see ya!

Looks like you're off to a good start. Is your new tank will be custom or off the shelf?

Thx

Thanks!

It's all custom made. Display and sump will be delivered tomorrow. The stand has already arrived.

Nice, I also ran the BK 160 on my last ~50 G SPS tank. Its an amazing skimmer. However, the water level where it will be skimming need to stay at a constant for it to work. May I ask who built the tank and stand for you? Thx

Good to know that, thanks for the information, I'll work to keep watter level constant.

I live in Brazil, so tank and stand were made here, by local builders.

I really liked their work, almost as planned.

Last tank ends but animals are still alive in a temporary place. I'll transfer them to the new one as soon as it's ready.

Hi Rod

Concerning your BK 160 skimmer, you might run into problems with that sump. Firstly the water level will not be constant, and if you do top-off by hands or ATO into the sump, fresh water will cause the skimmer to not skim for many hours. You should do some testing.
