Steve's 480g upgrade 730g total Zeovit system

[mcliffy2]

The lighting plan looks sick. A bit overkill for me, but I think you like overkill for some reason

I pretty much over size on everything which is scary. Because that will give me the thought of upgrading

I am proud of you, my meat head dad couldn't do that well if you gave him a month to try it.. Must be something about your marines hehe.

Now lets get this bad boy filled with water and fish and corals already all that KILLER hardware just collecting dust.

As soon as all the line X get done, i will get it up and running. I am tire of taking them out of the box, look at it for a few mins then put them back

Dennis, no pic cuz he doesn't have any of the gigas. He sold the last one couple days ago.

This is going to be a crazy tank, with all the best equipment... the only thing that blows my mind is they can have you move in a couple years, lol. now THAT would suck to move this tank filled up.

I don't mind to drain the tank and move. What concern me the most is the corals. I will have lots of nice corals in the tank. I may ask all my friend to house them for me during the move. That is really sucks...

Nice build. I thought i had too many Tunze products. What made you decide to stay with (3) MH setups?? Was there a reason you didnt go with all ATI PMs??

 

[fishypets]

Yo Steve you crazy Jar Head you! I see a spot for one more ATI P.M. if you slide the three M.H. down six inches. :lol:

If i use 4 then the two out side light will spill out which is a waste. I don't want all T-5 cuz me like shimmer

That spot was plan for retro fit or VHO :lol: . I was going to order 6x24w x 2. You'll never know the shipment will arrive in 2 at Reefgeek, i may man up and order 6x24 or 8x24w

Steve,

Read that you're going to try to mod 2 waveboxes with 6305 pumps to get a good wave and unfortunately I have to tell you, already did it! I've got two external waveboxes on a 10'x4'x4' tank and get a SOLID 2" wave (althought with 6300's not 6305's).

Very very cool.

John

 

[Jar*Head]

John, thank you for the information. I know it will work and will work very well esp on that tank size. I remember we were talking about getting wave in that large tank. How big was the ext wavebox?

This is the problem that I'm in right now. A friend of mine is holding my corals, but it limits him from buying corals as well. Oh well, I'll buy him some nice stuff when I get mine back as a thank you.

Steve,

It's two of AGE's external waveboxes which are only slightly deeper than the original (to get the cord in and out).

If i have to move again some time next year, i will need to find room in my friend tank to house all my corals. I will keep the frag and sell the remain to help with the space.

Thanks for the info John. My ext wavebox measure 12x7x7 , each box suppose to house 2 pumps but i will seal one of the hole and just go with 1 6305 or 6301

Update the stand, light rack and the supporting legs for the light rack will be in for line-x today. It takes 24hrs to get dry and ready to use. I will pick them up on Sunday morning and will move everything into the new home then the plumbing will beginthen the aquascape. I will fill the tank up with tap water first for leak test then will fill it up with RODI (thanks god to have 300gph RODI unit). It should take couple days to fill the tank up.

The sand will arrive the first week of April as well as the Calcium reactor. I will not fire up the MH till i am ready for Corals. With 24 T-5 i should have plenty of light for cycling the tank.

What i really need at this point is mental and physical support . If any of you folks live in Southern Cal and willing to give a hand to get the tank on the stand please let me know .
