Where did you get these tanks?

 

[connecticut cichlids]

very nice tanks

 

[PelagicMagic]

those are nice

I got my ATI 6x54 yesterday for the 33L. Not much to look at now.

Also have a 3'x3'x12" look down cube on its way.

 

[whatcaneyedo]

tpdpercula where did you get those breeder boxes from? Or least what brand are they? I did some looking around online and I havent been able to find ones like that yet. Most only have water circulation vents in the bottom and are made out of thin light plastic that I wouldnt be able to drill very well.

 

[PelagicMagic]

in Fl we have a company called sealife systems
http://www.sealifesystems.com/

They do great work and made my soon to arrive 3'x3'x12"

The boxes with the ricordia were purchased at BigLots (shower containers). The aquariums are from TRUVU, and had the best customer service of the fabricators that I contacted. Very pleased and plan on ordering a couple more from them but bigger. Each tank will have a Tek 6x54watt fixture as well and will have a RBTA tank plumbed in along with it.

tpdpercula-how many t5 on your 40G breeder ricordia prop tank?

 

[chriscobb]

For all of you that have them plumbed into your main systems. How do you isolate your frag/growout tanks from the main system if a problem should arise?

 

[whatcaneyedo]

Mine is just plumbed together with flexible PVC so I guess I could just drop a temporary sump in front of the frag tank and bend the plumbing over to it.

 

[tpdpercula]

CLINTOS, I have just a 4 bulb T-5 on the 40 breeder.

[Plan>B]

crsaz, could you show some pic's of the overflow from over top the corner and on the outside of the corner.

How do you plan on routing your return? Are you going to drill or go over the top?

 

[CLINTOS]

tpdpercula- can you describe your flow,amount of LR and filtration,fish,clean up crew,kelvin of each bulb,what are you using for calcium?

look's like my old setup that I'm going to set up again

 

[tpdpercula]

CLINTOS the system has two return (3/4) holes drilled in the euro brace top. I will run both tanks off one 40 breeder sump with a Mag 18. Live rock will consist of the 30 lbs in the refug of the sump and misc. pieces in the tanks themselves. Fish will be a breeding pair of Onyx Percs and non breeding Onyx in each tank along with normal clean up crew of blue leg crabs and turbo snails along with 2 pair of Cleaner Shrimp along with 5 peppermint shrimp in each tank. I might hook up my calcium reactor or just run BRS 2-Part. The Kelvin on the URI T-5 bulbs are each tank, (3) 10K and (3) Super Actinic.
