Scotty & Tammy's 4x4x2 SPS tank

Wow this tank is awesome. I'm actually thinking of getting one of these exact dimensions for some time now.
Is it custom made? Glass or acrylic?
Also could you post of pic of your sump design? Thanks!!

Hi and thank you.

This is a custom made glass tank, 12mm sides, 15mm base and eurobraced.
I do have some photos of my sump from all 3 sides and the best place to find them is on my TOTM article from February 2014 :)

Thanks again Scotty

scott tank is getting real full, your gonna need a chainsaw in there soon

Yea I know mate! I've been keeping the SPS in check that is nearing the glass with the magnet cleaner :lol: hurry up and get that tank running so I can off load some frags to ya ;)
 
Breath taking view Scotty :thumbsup:

Why is your alk so low mate, what is that about hmmmmm ?

Thanks biggles :)

My alk always hovers between 6.5-7 and is usually in the lower part. Well except for when I had the alk spike a couple of months ago :uzi: :lol:
 
Lol nothing like a good alk spike to remind you that SPS keeping will bite you on the arse every time you relax too much.........

Your telling me mate! This was pretty extreme, went from 9.3 to 5.4 in 24hrs 3 days in a row with no explanation at all! To be quite honest I was seriously thinking it was the end of the 4x4 reef :(
 
Lol there's nothing like that gut wrenching feeling that everything is going to just die no matter what you do and you think you're missing something obvious despite checking 100 times............ good times hey lol :wavehand:
I turned the heaters off last week and they stayed off until i noticed the temp was 23......... that was just a little morning heart starter rather than a full blown ' i can't come to work because my acros have no PE ' day.

This was a I don't want to go to work for a week type of deal :lol:

Wonder how that excuse would go down with the boss :lolspin: lucky I've got the other boss at home if anything ever goes badly wrong
 
Good thinking mate, we can blame Tammy for the disaster and guilt her into a big upgrade - that is what you really mean but won't say because Tammy will read it............ :p
 
Sorry I must of misread, Hopefully it my non sense dribble will come in handy for someone :lolspin:
It did for me buddy:beer:

I hate your view and i hate you.....:mad2:
+1 on Mo...we need more pics..so i can justify my hate easier:D

Ryan a chainsaw was exactly what i thought when i saw that pic too!
...as a back up picture i had me in there,half naked trying to make some room for our good friend's corals:D

I've put it down to a couple of things Danilio. Just before this all happened I'd done a fair bit of fragging and also we had a couple of power outtages, 1 of them I was home for and was able to hook up the generator for the dosing pump but the other I was out and unable to do anything beside having the automatic BBU run the return pump. So in a way your correct mate due to having no dosing pump on for 5hrs on the second power out :)
