First off love the thread there are some amazing tanks here and I hope that one day I can have a tank half as nice. I had a 55 gal with a huge stand and due to the powers to be had to get something that went with the dining room alittle better. I came across a 54 gal corner for 150 thought that was a steal. I took it in and had it drilled 2 returns and 2 drains. I have about 120 lbs of live rock, and a half inch sand bed. Lighting is 250 watt 14k metal halide and 2 65 watt actinic pc about 12 inchs from the water. I have 6 fish and about 15 to 20 coral frags, going for a mixed reef.
Now to the question I have a rio 1700 and a rio 2100 as my returns and they are in the middle of the tank facing the front. I have a korrilla 2 and two knock off korrillas that say they push 800gph that I am not using. Are my returns enough or do I need to use one of the powerheads or all of the powerheads????????
Well thank you for the input, like I said I have 2 returns coming out of the very back of the tank at the top of the water facing the front glass. I have a K2 and 2 knockoff K3's where should I put them and facing what way. I attached a pic of the front of my tank so you can look at the rockwork, so you can give me placement suggestions. Sorry about the quality I dont have the best camera. Thanks again
Thanks for the reply Michael. I actually rescaped my rockwork after going through this thread, so many nice tanks I decided to change mine. I took out about 50 lbs of rock and I put my korrilla 3 (knockoffs) on the front glass facing the middle of the tank. Don't know if that s good but everything seems to be moving now.
Hello All,
I currently have an AGA 92 gal corner tank - set up as tropical, with Piranhas (caribe).
I am looking to this tank to switch to a mixed reef. I have done quite a bit of research and have some direction...bt was wonderign if anyone can suggest the following:
My tank is not RR (reef ready)...so i will be drilling for bulk heads.
I am looking at installing/setting up a (BennieAnimal) overflow system - As I am looking for a safe and quite overflow system....any one out there use this currently?
Stil not sure how I will know my gph though? and match it to a sump/return pump etc...
Sump/refg- I'd like to do my own DIY sump/refg, I was considering a corner design, so I can make better use of space and not be limited as much in terms of protien skimmer.
any design suggestions?
Freddy, can you kindly provide info on yours?
Anyone have any design suggestions on a DIY sump for corner stands (r=28")?
Any suggestions for Protien Skimmers? I was thinking the Reef Octopus Extreme XS 160...? i am looking for something quite too...any suggestions?
In terms of canopy/lighting I am stuck - i do not have a canopy, and don't really want to build one...my stand is the Pine wood one...so it would be hard to DIY one that matches (I think)...I prefer to switch to the Oceanic black stand and canopy...but they dont make those anymore...(anyone selling?)
any sugestions?
any ideas for lighting without a canopy?
I will look around in this thread...just lots of post to go through! wow!
BTW, I am in Toronto (mississauga), ONTARIO (canada)...anyone out here too?
Thanks all in advance!
