Zen's 670 gallon room divider.

[ReefTECK]

That wasn't much of a build thread, results and corals on the second page! lol Super nice though man. The munchkins are a nice comparison of scale! haha.

I'm wondering what your going to do about the gap above the tank. Are you going to have access there from the front and enclose it with some type of doors/canopy?

Can we get an equipment pic behind the scenes?

670 gallons, man I bet you're happy about that, I'm you'll be thinking bigger in a few months lol!

Sweet tank love the update but where did the acans go?

How are the LED's working out? I have a 36" tall tank as well and I was thinking about switching to LED but wasn't sure how effective they are on a tall tank (granted I haven't done much research yet).

Any chance of seeing the tank in person? I live on the other side of town from you.

[launchnukes]

Woah. What a build!

 

[heckfire]

stunning,,but i have to ask, did you win regular lotto or powerball to pay for that

Sweet tank love the update but where did the acans go?

It was a trade off. I was starting to have an aiptasia problem, so I put a Copperband Butterfly in. He did a terrific job on the aiptasia but also liked to much on my acans. So now the acans are in my frag tank.

I love the wall dividing. It looks awsome. Are there panels that cover the MH though?

I bought some LED's to experiment with over my frag tank. Love em. I still use four 400W Radiums over the main display tank. I'll probably build a 300 LED fixture for the display at some point in the future. Before I do this, I need to connect a heat exchanger to the house's hot water supply or what I will be saving in energy costs with LEDs will go right back into the tank via heaters since the tank is in the basement and it rarely gets above 75 down there.

I have them currently being made out of aluminum. I'll post pictures when they are up.

I was referring to the Reefbrites as actinic supplement. Do they penetrate a tall tank?

 

[Bax]

At the risk of being redundant, I'll say it again ...

Very nice!

It's too bad about the acans, but I can't keep those or zoas either! It's a fish choice! Your anthias look amazing with all the overhanging rock really very nice!

Yep. No problem with the penetration. Not sure about the PAR levels with just the ReefBrites on, but the corals look great on dusk/dawn mode when only the Reefbrites are on.

very inspirational

this tank is looking good after a year of solid growth. keep it up man!

 

[jhentr]

Awesome tank! Love the colors. I see a naso tang and blue jaw trigger. Any other fishes that you've added?

I also like build threads that are all done already and the pics show from beginning to end in two pages or less ...but then I also like instant gratification which this hobby isnt...lol.

Awesome tank ZenMan, I am working on a 400 gal in wall 3 sided tank and I have a question about your stand. From your pictures it looks like its just sitting on 2x4's with a plywood top, do you have any other support under that plywood? could I see some pictures of the tank support?
