This project has been 2 months in waiting.. and almost been planned to happen for 11 months now. i bought this tank and stand for a whopping $250 and it is an Oceanic brand tank. This is supposed to be a Father and Son project but i can already say that its going to mostly be son in the end.
Equipment-
2x 250 watt hqi(14K) 2 x 24 watt pc(actinic)sleek hood design (getting a loner light, untill the real hood is ready)
25 gallon sump/fuge (biggest i could fit)
berlin skimmer (hopefully upgrade to something out of sump)
2 x mag 5's return's
custom made hang on overflow (in the making)
2 x 300 watt heaters ( have them sitting around and always hear 2 is better then one)
corallife digital therometer
3 - 4 250 gph powerheads(still to come)
1 wavemaker (still to come)
2 x coralife power bars (still to come)
Unknown light for fuge(suggestions welcome )
1 x 40 lb bag of reef sand
Tuesday i will hopefully be recieving the powerheads, wavemake, loner light, 70 - 80 lbs live rock
And some pics to start off the show.
We had to take the centerbrace out to get the sump in. Wouldnt fit by 1/8"
sump under stand
Bubble trap in sump
Over flow divider to pumps. 2 x mag 5's
Fillin her back up. Lazy man way
Return from pump
Both returns in place... Ones bigger as my Overflow is going to sit in the middle of it
The over flow im making is going to be 2 times the size of the one in the picture. As that one only handles 1 mag 5
Alright well im going to finish the plumbing tommorow as i dont want to move any of the dividers, as i just siliconed them in and boy o boy does that stuff stink. Its quite dangerous as well.
Should i be putting live sand and rock in my fuge or just rock? and yes of course cheato.
Happy Birthday to mee tommorow :lol3:
