VertiNate's "Oceanfront Bar" Mixed Reef Build

VertiNate · 06/26/2016, 02:47 PM

Hello Everyone!

After a bunch of planning and research, I have finally begun a build I have had in mind for a while now. I've always been a fan of tanks that are located in main areas of a home, becoming the center of attention while having drinks and hanging out. I purchased the townhouse I am currently living in a year ago up in beautiful Calgary, Alberta, Canada! It is my first home purchase and has been a lot of fun over the past year.

I first got into the salt-game in 2011 with a 29-gallon tank. This was quickly upgraded to a 125-gallon reef, which was a real learning experience for me. A little over a year after the 125 had been running, I decided to make a few life changes and part of this process included my reef. I sold everything and moved, focusing my time on climbing - ice, rock, and alpine in the beautiful Canadian Rockies!

Luckily my job includes the operation, maintenance, and design of large commercial filtration systems (hint . . . at the only zoo in Calgary). This would keep me entertained until the reef bug bit again . . .

Fast-forward a couple years. Last Christmas, I decided to purchase a small, 10-gallon AIO tank for my girlfriends apartment. I would maintain it, she could enjoy it. It started very simple. Annnd of course that didn’t last long. She moved in with me a couple months later and with her came the tank. The first vision of the “Oceanfront Bar” came to life!

I have been enjoying the challenges in maintaining a nano reef! I swear I spend more time on maintenance now then I used to with my automated 125! Which brings me to one of the major reasons for this upgrade – Stability. I enjoy the nano game and plan on sticking with it. But 10 gallons is SMALL. I’m looking for Small. If that makes any sense.

I decided to go with a custom built tank that I could fit to the dimensions of the bar/stand that currently houses the 10-gallon. This stand was actually purchased from IKEA. It fits the space perfectly and the price was right. The doors are both soft-closing which is a nice feature. I did frost the glass myself using a spray on the backside, which actually worked very well. Time will tell how it holds up.

Concept Aquariums here in Calgary, Alberta are building the display and sump for me. I have worked with them in the past and they are great at what they do along with having very reasonable prices.

DISPLAY

• 24” L x 18.5” W x 18” H - 35ish Gallons
• Starphire on the 3 viewable sides with a starphire, one-piece eurobrace
• External coast-to-coast overflow utilizing a bean animal system
• Black backing (not pictured)

SUMP

• 15.5” L x 17” W x 17” H
• 4” Filter sock
• Skimmer and return compartment
• Refugium fed from the return pump

The tank is due to arrive in 2 ½ weeks! I have ordered the large majority of the equipment being used and will update once things start arriving!!

Looking good! Is the new tank going on that same bar?

What are your stocking plans and what equipment do you plan to run?

Cheers! 🍸

Thanks! Yes the new tank will be on the same bar. I do plan on adding a little more support to the stand to ensure it can support the new tank long term.

Equipment plan:

Lighting - Radion XR-15Pro wide angle lens, hung from the ceiling
Skimmer - Vertex Omega 130
Return Pump - Syncra Silent 3.0 (will feed the fuge, reactor, and display)
Flow - Vortech MP-10wes mounted on the back center glass
Reactor for GFO/Carbon - Vertex Rx-U 1.5L
ATO - Tunze 3155
Heater - Cobalt Neo-Therm 150W
Fuge Light - Kessil H150 Purple

I will be adding a controller (probably the new apex) along with dosing pumps eventually as things develop. For now I have a JBJ temp controller to help out.

Stocking plans are slowly coming together. . once I have a better idea ill post! Right now I'm trying to decide what kind of live rock I should go with or if I should do dry rock seeded with a little live as I have done in the past. I'd love to get that TBS rock up here! Anyone have any input on Premium Fiji Pukani mix?

Chibils · 06/28/2016, 05:17 AM

I don't know if there's an airport near the border in Montana, but I know Richard at TBS sells to people in Canada all the time. Usually to people in Toronto via Buffalo, but you can maybe work something out. Try contacting him, he's active on the forums here under the name "liverock".

Thanks for the idea Chibils. I did some reading on it and your definitely right people do drive it across the boarder. I've decided to go with something local and spend the extra time and money focusing on other things. While the TBS rock is amazing, beautiful reefs have been accomplished without it!

Chibils · 06/29/2016, 05:09 AM

True that 😀 Looking forward to more updates!

VertiNate · 07/06/2016, 07:31 PM

Well things have been steadily coming in for the tank. I am waiting for a few more shipments next week and that should be the majority of things!

On this build, I am focusing on small details which come together to make the overall setup look awesome/wicked/super awesome. I ordered a few items from Printed Reefing Solutions that I think will help me accomplish the look I am going for - an apex probe holder, a dosing tube holder, and a tiny frag rack! (hint - red might be a theme :O) They are all built very well, were well packaged, and arrived quickly. Check em out!

Along with those beauties, my fuge light came in - the Kessil H150 Purple. Its exactly what I was looking for, size and weight wise. I'm stoked to see how it does growing macro!!

My live rock has came in!! After a bunch of back and fourth I decided to go with Walt Smith Premium Fiji Pukani. I ordered it from ReefSupplies.ca and am very happy with it! There are some seriously awesome pieces in the mix and it came for a great price. I ended up getting 40 lbs and I think I will have a bit left over. I had a bin mixed up and ready for it to hang out in until the tank is ready for it. Check it out!

Well, its been a busy summer. The tank took 4ish weeks longer than anticipated to be completed, which gave my live rock a little extra time to cure. While I was waiting for the tank, I spent a bit of time reinforcing my IKEA stand. I secured a piece of 1/2" plywood across the back, using screws and wood glue. I also added four pieces of 2x4 on the bottom of the stand to spread out the weight. Here are a couple pics of the work:

Before:

After:

I ended up adding another hole on viewers left of that photo into the back of the 2nd cabinet. This will allow for the reactor plumbing. The back was painted white with Kilz Primer before being put back into place.

Well, after what felt like a lifetime, I finally picked up the tank, sump, and protein skimmer! Pics pics pics!

I am very happy with how everything is turning out! The one-piece euro brace looks as good as I was hoping. I ordered a couple of the self-leveling mats from Innovative Marine to place on the bottom of the tank and sump. I cut them to fit and they look great! You should be able to spot them in the photos.

There were a few things I was unhappy with, but maybe I'm just a perfectionist. I had to use a dremel on the filter sock holder in the sump to remove a 1/4" from the cut hole in order to fit the sock. I also had to dremel the right hand hole on the back of the tank where the jets are to pass through. The biggest issue is probably the spacing of the 5 holes in the overflow. On the design, it leaves a significant space for a Vortech. In person, they are all evenly spaced. I have measured them, and between the 1/2" and 3/4" pipes on each side I should be able to fit my mp-10 with a 1/4" to spare. I would have taken it back to be re-drilled, but at this point waiting another 6 weeks is not in the cards. Ill have another update out shortly!!

VertiNate · 09/06/2016, 10:41 AM

Alright time for a plumbing update. Lets start with my bean animal overflow and returns. I wanted everything along the back of the tank to be black, drain pipes into the cabinet to be red, and the returns to be white. To accomplish this I ordered colored pvc from BRS. I looked around for a local supplier but had a really hard time finding anything. Maybe only the reefing community cares about stylish plumbing.

As for black fittings, that was another story. I decided to go with krylon fusion for plastic paint and use white fittings. I sanded each fitting well before applying the paint. I also had to make a few modifications to some of the fittings in order to keep them from being visible when viewing the tank. This, and of course tapping the 1/4" threads into the top of the open channel cap. I used low profile strainers on each of the drains as well. Check it out!

You'll notice the two lines running to the cabinet opposite the sump. They are feeding my reactor. I had originally planned to keep the reactor in the same cabinet as the sump, but due to size constraints, it was banished to the far cabinet. I do have exciting plans for that side of things in the future, but lets stick to whats going on now. I have also used a fair amount of unions on this build. Working with large commercial filtration systems, I definitely understand the importance of being able to pull things apart quickly and easily in the event of an emergency or just for routine maintenance. If the plumbing is properly aligned, leaks will be non existent! Next up: under the hood!

VertiNate · 09/08/2016, 10:04 AM

On to the sump! Things came together pretty nicely for such a small space. The reactor outlet enters back into the sump as a silicone line. I did this strictly so its easy to pull the line out and place it in a bucket while rinsing carbon/gfo. I should have another update out later today. Enjoy!

VertiNate · 09/08/2016, 10:09 AM

VertiNate · 09/09/2016, 09:59 AM

Its Wet!

Time to finally get my rocks up into the tank! While researching aquascaping ideas, I came across one photo that I thought would fit my tank perfectly. I couldn't get the image out of my head so I decided to try and mimic it as best I could.

Inspiration:

Off to work! I used a hammer drill bit in a standard cordless drill to create holes where I needed them in the rock. Following that I inserted 3/8" acrylic rod into the holes. Some of the rock was epoxied, but a large amount was not. This way, if needed, I can easily lift a rock out of the tank off the acrylic rod.

VertiNate · 09/09/2016, 10:04 AM

Once everything was rigged up outside of the tank, in they went!

Annnnd the completed product! I am happy with how it came out. I made sure to keep enough room between the glass and rock for adequate cleaning. Check it out!

VertiNate · 09/09/2016, 10:15 AM

Might as well keep the posts rolling! Time for sand. I used CaribSea Aragonite Special Grade Reef Sand. It's the sand I have used in past tanks and I've always liked it, so why not.

RO Rinse! I did 5 rounds of rinsing and that cleaned it up nicely.

Into the tank!

Chibils · 09/16/2016, 02:44 PM

Things are really coming together! Can we get a FBS (full bar shot)? 😁

Thanks Chibilis! Ill make sure to add a full bar shot at the end of this post. After a bunch of back and forth, I decided to order the new Vertex Cerebra controller! I have it installed and wired in and will make sure to put an update on that all shortly. For now, check this beauty out! Bomb-proof packing as per all Vertex gear.

VertiNate · 09/19/2016, 10:54 AM

And finally I hung my Radion XR-15pro G3 over the tank and transferred my fish and coral! I didn't have much of an ammonia cycle because I've had the live rock curing downstairs for so long. I also mounted my Vortech MP-10 on the back wall of the tank and it fit perfectly.

My coral are all looking a lot smaller as I had byprosis in my small tank and did not plan on introducing it immediately in the new tank, therefore they were cut back a lot to prevent any carryover. The switch over went great and everyone is happy in their new home! My pistol shrimp and goby have claimed the underside of the large rock and are very active digging away as always! Check it out!

VertiNate · 10/03/2016, 06:12 PM

Alright time for another update. Check out my sump!

All of the electrical runs behind the small drawer in the center of the stand across to the right hand cabinet. The electrical cabinet is about to get a big facelift once I get my dosers, new ATO reservoir, and a few other things, but its good enough for now.
