Here is my little piece of Ocean

Seikensetzu · 08/12/2013, 06:53 PM

Hello everyone, guess this is my intro to Reef Central!!!

My name is Sammy, I live in Orlando Florida (right around the corner from World Wide Corals!!!)
I always roam around the forums and rarely ever post my tank or much info.
I love aquariums and starting to build up the madness at home.
I am not a pro but I have some knowledge and also very handy building things.

Right now I only own a 65 gallon tank with a custom 46 gallon sump I built myself.
Planning on getting either a 90g or a 120g (4ft) for the guest room and next year going for the 180g or 220g for the living room.

Well, enough about myself and let me show you what is under my sea

AmberFL03 · 08/12/2013, 09:45 PM

i really like your rock work!

whiteshark · 08/12/2013, 10:11 PM

Very nice! Welcome aboard! Can we get an equipment list and maybe a pic of the sump?

Seikensetzu · 08/12/2013, 10:24 PM

I'll post pics of the sump and equipment tomorrow. ZzZ

whiteshark · 08/12/2013, 10:36 PM

Lol sorry. I work a 12 hour night shift so right now is like noon for me. I forget sometimes that I'm opposite of most people.

BIGD0G · 08/13/2013, 11:12 AM

Welcome to the forums. Very nice tank. How long has it been up?

DragKnee · 08/13/2013, 11:15 AM

Rally nice tank you have there!

Lilmatty5dimes · 08/13/2013, 05:18 PM

welcome. another central Floridian tank looks great let see some more pics. i would go with the 120. the footprint is amazing

webersp · 08/13/2013, 05:44 PM

Love the rock work, that's a very beautiful tank. I was recently in Orlando and unfortunately didn't make it over to any of the wonderful stores. I second the suggestion on the 120, my first reef was a 120 and I wish I'd never taken it down.

iwishtofish · 08/13/2013, 08:47 PM

Very nice, Sammy! Intriguing position for that elegance coral.

Seikensetzu · 08/13/2013, 10:33 PM

thank you everyone.
the system is running on dual 200 micron bags and a reef octopus nwb150 skimmer.
Lights i have 4 t5 A+ lights with 250w mh.

I'll have a pic of the sump tomorrow and 120g it is. Will start buying the equipment and building the stand and sump for it as well

Seikensetzu · 08/13/2013, 10:35 PM

most people always place their elegance in the sand but for some reason mine loves being on the rocks. Specially when i upgraded to the mp40wes it loves it up there even more.

Seikensetzu · 08/16/2013, 08:05 AM

Equipment:
that's the sump with the nw150 Reef Octopus skimmer.

(2) 300w heaters. one is an Eheim and the other a marineland

Marineland white/blue led light on top of the refugium lighting up the chaeto

Eheim compact 5000 pump.

Behind the tank, there is my 10gallon RO water using the JBJ ato into the sump

On my display my lighting consist on 250w mh and 4 Giesseman Actinic+ bulbs and dual led.

One Ecotech MP40Wes and a Sicce Voyager 3 as my powerheads

Great looking tank and nice job on the sump!

How does WWC treat locals? Been there twice and they acted like they were put out that I was in their store. Bought some frags the first time but walked out without even being asked if they could help me the second.

Seikensetzu · 08/16/2013, 09:47 AM

Every store has their pros and cons. I have around 6-7 stores near me and a few out by the coast that I go buy.

I have one day to check what each store has for sale and then my shopping day. So I am often in and out the stores which creates somewhat of a friendly relationship.
