Have decided to do a small tank upgrade utlising most of my current equipment on my 4x2x2 but just improving on things.
This tank will 4x2x20" rimless 12mm starfire glass with external wier. tank will be barebottom so i can put lots of flow and suspend detritus as efficently as possible.
Sump is 105x50x45 which has 54cm frag tank incorporated in it.
Circluation will be via 3 x vortech MP40W and 2 - 4 x tunze 6045 for the DT and 2 x 6045 for the FT. Also will have a K2 in the skimmer section.
Lighing will be taken care of by 10 x 54W ATI powermodule with frag tank lighing 6 x 24W sunpower.
Skimmer is bubble pioneer BM-200
I am using dosing pumps for cal + alk mainenance.
changing tanks over gives me the oppotunity to get differnt fish, although i love my purple tang and tuka anthias there are several purple corals readily avaialble so i decided to ofload them + a few others in the tank and get the following
1 x juv yellow tang
1 x juv regal angel
1 x royal gramma
1 x green spotted mandarin
5 x randalli anthias
1 x mystery wrasse
1 x flame hawk
the stand is made from 316 SS and clad with MDF painted in red auto paint. (red is the fastest colour)
here is a pic of the stand (skimmer defunct)
I will update this thread with progress pics.
