Temp tank

Turbovr3six

Colored Sticks addict
So ill be setting up a 200 gallon display with a 180 gallon tub only holding 100 gallons for a sump. Ive had this tank for a little but since its a wierd shape, i never did anything with it... dimensions are 48"Lx30"Tallx38"W on one side and 25"W on the other... its kinda like a trapazoid tank.... the main reason that im setting this up is to give my corals some more room until i get the specific tank i want... Anyway im using a Sedra KSP-20000 return... 1x 6212 wavebox and 2x 6105's, all ran on a 7096 controller will help the flow. Lighting will be 2x Lumatek digital 400W selectable ballasts(250W, 275W, 400W, and "Superlumens"[440W]) with LumenarcIII reflectors.... bulbs for now are 250W Reeflux 20K's... skimmer in an ASM G4...ATO is JBJ..... thats pretty much it as far as equiptment that i have right this second... one i get a PH controller ill have the Calcium Reactor set up(MRC CR-4)... all rock and coral will be transfered into this tank so aquascaping will probally be a little trickey... not much done other than polishing, plumbing and leak testing done, but anyway heres some pics of the progress so far.. PS dont mind the mess in the backround

weird dimensions, and looks like a lot of flow, love the coral.

tank will be mostly sps.... haha yes its dimensions are a little funky but the footprint for coral is pretty sweet... thanks for the coral comment!

looking good already.
can you show us a shot of the left side there with the wavebox... it looks like you have spa nozzles on that end - are those additional returns or ?

ill post some more pics in a little bit.... they were an old return for a closed loop
 
prop tank is in the room now.. all that needs completed is the plumbing to the prop tank done, after that its good to go... i plan on running a 250W MH on one side and try out LED's on the other and see what the growth rate/color difference is... kinda like a little self experiment:D
