Tank of the Month - August 2005

[Holyreefer]

Ok are most of your fish smaller fish?
And if so would you happen to have the common names for your fish. I don't seem to be bothersome but i also have a 220 gallon and i would like to have the high number of fish in my tank as well.

Awesome tank. Great Job. Would you happen to have the design plans for your current skimmer? Diameter, lengths of pipe, etc.

I find the work you have done with your tank very encouraging.

Thank you,

Aaron

Awesome tank!

Point for the sandbed guys!

 

[eAlex]

Thank you all!

Aaron, I do not have plans for this skimmer, because I think it is better to build it differently: http://reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&postid=5467569#post5467569

You can estimate sizes of my skimmer from photos:
http://ealex.aqua-web.org/hardware/p8011945.htm

Lower rising pipe is 160mm (6.3ââ"šÂ¬Ã‚) and upper rising pipe is 110mm (4.3ââ"šÂ¬Ã‚). Pipe from injector is 50mm (2ââ"šÂ¬Ã‚). Overall height with bigger collection cap is 1120mm (441ââ"šÂ¬Ã‚).

cool tank!!!

cool tank!!!

HI, I REALLY LIKE YOUR TANK. I BEGAN THIS HOBBY LIKE A YEAR AGO. I HAVE A 55 GALLON TANK AND I WAS WONDERING IF YOU CAN SHARE WITH ME THE "DIY" CALCIUM REACTOR THAT YOU MADE FOR YOUR TANK, SO THAT I CAN TRY TO CREATE MY OWN. THANK YOU

Overall height with bigger collection cap is 1120mm (441ââ"šÂ¬Ã‚).

I think you converted from cm to inches. It should be 44.1" overall.

I thought a 36.75 foot tall skimmer was a little excessive for that tank. :lol: :lol:
