The Reef Central Corner Club Thread

Hookup, my way of thinking, your gph through your sump is fine. I usually recomend 3 to 5 times turnover for a sump. I also agree not to use it for flow per say in the tank.
 
Hookup I agree w slow sump & crazy flow in the DT aswell.
tgriffin, welcome to our lil club & GL w your Reef Wall, some one here in the thread has a build of 1 in this actual thread. As you read through it you will come across his foam reef wall build, it really is quit nice. GL. Sorry I havent posted pics guys of my mods & additions, Ive been super busy, but I promise to get to it soon.
 
I'm in the process of removing scratches on my tank. It is going well and I'll post some pics when I start getting things going.
 
I purchased an aquarium kit. It has worked great so far! I started with 320 grit waterproof sandpaper and then went to 400 grit. After all damage was removed I started the micro mesh. You go one direction with one grade and then go the other direction with the other grade. I have two or three more grades to go, but you can hardly see any scratches anymore. It was pretty scratched up prior to starting the restoral. I know that water helps to hide the scratches, so I am thinking that if I put water in it right now before I finished that there would be no visible scratches. I have taken my time with it and plan on finishing to try to obtain the most pristine finish. I also purchased a liquid abrasive to get any risidual film or haze out after the restoral has been done.

The company specializes in aircraft windows, so it is a very high grade. The US Air Force uses these products on there F-16 windshields. If the Air Force uses them then I figured it had to be pretty good stuff. I am looking forward to how it turns out. I'll post some pics when I'm done. The link to the product is below

Very cool! Excited to see the results.

We have a few scratches in our tank but not enough to worry about...we'll probably replace/upgrade the tank in the future so... :)

Its just prep cycling now, but its got 120 pounds of live sand and approx. 130 pounds of live rock. Oh, its a 100 gallon btw...

looks like a pentagon
 
Its been a while but i finally got to a point where I can post a few pictures. I swapped the 44g tank out with another one that I drilled and built an overflow for and painted the back black (although the 14k bulb makes it look blue). I also built the custom canopy to hide the 150w metal halide.

I still have to finish the aquascaping and place the corals. Hopefully today!!

WOW Great thread!!!

I have a 92 Gallon Oceanic Corner Bowfront currently in the works.

Right now I am trying to tackle the canopy and perhaps a rebuilt stand.

I planed on doing 2 MH DE250's with 2 - 36" T5 HO and 2 - 24" T5 HO's, but I read that some felt that was overkill.....

Thoughts? I will be running a mixed reef.
