SRC Member moron_clown Posted August 10, 2005 SRC Member Share Posted August 10, 2005 Hello fellow reefers.I could'nt really sleep well after i torn down my 4 footer. Thought of starting another tank so i jumped at the opportunity when my girlfriend's dad decided he wanted a marine tank. I'll definitely need alot of help from you guys over the next couple of months and i'll appreciate any tips or pointers any reefers have.I have been absent from this hobby for nearly a year now..

SRC Member moron_clown Posted August 10, 2005 Author SRC Member Share Posted August 10, 2005 first on tank size,the tank is custom made to sit on a low wall and it acts as a devider.Vital statistics are 58 inches by 24 inches by 36 inches(LXBXH). I'm still in the midst of deciding on the list of equiptments i wanna use.Probably be using the equiptments below- skimmer-still going for the raw power of a beckett chiller-probably a good 1hp chiller return-md55 a couple of fluidise reactors for rowa and carbon Uv have not decided on lighting and in tank pumps yet. I'll skip the calcium reactor first as i do not plan to keep sps on this tank. i'll keep you guys informed on the progress later on.

SRC Member moron_clown Posted November 19, 2005 Author SRC Member Share Posted November 19, 2005 the tank is in its third week of cycling.there are still detectable ammounts of ammonia and nitrite.The prolonged period of cycling is caused by the huge amount of die-off in the uncured liferocks. Attached is a picture of my sump.many thanks to Steve of Aquamarine Pets who personally came over to assist and give advice on the extensive plumbing work that needs to be done Quote Reef Journal Gf's 6ft FOWLR My previous 4X2X2.5 (Retired) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member moron_clown Posted November 19, 2005 Author SRC Member Share Posted November 19, 2005 Orp controller;below shown is the orp recorded during the third week of cycling made possible with strong water circulation,agressive protein skimming,loads of carbon and Ozone.

Brunei Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 An awesome multi-million dwelling! Top-notch modern-living bro! Really envy your GF's house + plasma + marine tank. Btw, is the tank 3 feet high? And is your GF's dad an architect? (I was fantasizing a 10 footer marine tank in that mansion!) lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
