Thought I'd share

So Ive been pretty distant from here although keeping my dues paid well here is some updates with what I have been up too.

First the tank I purchased from Matt was broken by 2 men and a truck.... So with the check I got I decided to do a build that Ive always wanted to do.

I purchased a 300DD from Iowa Pet and a 60g rimless deep blue frag tank. Then I purchased a custom sump made to my specs from 302 aquatics, and aquatronica deluxe touch screen controller, and a Genesis reef system for auto water changes and ato.

The first sump was detroyed by fedex so I have a 3/8 acrylic one coming in from them at no cost to me.

I purchased all of the plumbing from brs along with a new Skimz 255i skimmer

I also built an Avast Vibe zeovit reactor.

The tank is not fully up a running yet but is 3/4 the way full and completely done cycling.

Here is some pics


Thats all for now

Heres my sump well the first one that was broken... I made a couple changes to the second one

 

What return pump you running? And is that one of those oceans motion hooked to your plumbing? I always wondered how those worked.
Btw. Everything looks great. Sump and matching plumbing looks amazing. Hopefully you get your sump soon.

 

Waveline 12000 return which will be for the frag tank and the 300.

Yes its a SCWD wavemaker thought Id give it a try lol

Sump should be in this week he sent a pic of it done so last time it was 2 days from when he shipped. I will flip out on fedex freight if they break this one

 

I would too. It seems when you mark a box fragile they drag it behind the truck with a rope and kick it a few times just to be assholes.

 

So here's a silly question. Did you ditch the raw shrimp and cycle with a young child?

 

Haha no

But I did use 340lbs of live sand and 1200ml of biospira

 

I know you are a coral guy, but planning on any cool fish?

 

Im a fish guy too lol probably why I have so many but I plan to take some of the fish I have to the building or donate them to someone.

But what will be going into it as of now from what I have in the 220 is

Goldflake angel
Whitetail Bristol tooth
Purple tang
Sailfin tang
Atlantic blue tang
Scopas tang
Yellow tang
Blue Hippo tang
Sohal tang
Red Coris Wrasse

2 Melanurus wrasse

I might be missing one or two but thats off the top of my head. The list isnt concrete at the moment but for sure most are going in there

Yes I know its a lot of fish but they all get along great now in the 220

 

What are you useing to take humidity out of the house.

Sent from my SM-N920V via App

 

Looking good Donny.

 

I have a vent in the room keeping it at around 75°. But there is also a vent/fan that exits out of the house near by. We run a dehumidifier also during the summer in the basement too

 

Thanks Dave it will look even better when I get my sump and this thing up a running lol

 

Sump is in now just have to install everything then get this up and running

I also got a matching dosing box

 

I like it. Looks awesome!

 

Drooling...... And slightly whimpering.. haha!

 

Love marine bettas

 

I saw your tank at the store and was in awe of the size of it. I am really looking forward to watching this up and running. What an incredible tank it will be.
