Got the swap all done, new tank is up.. Only took about 7 hours... This of course was working by myself..

I'm sure it's 7 hours well spent. I really like the depth of that tank you got, can't wait to see it in action.

Tank looks great.

You have any pics of sump and/or equipment?

Saltwatercoral2 · 07/11/2013, 11:52 AM

I will take come pictures of equipment and sump.. I need to clean up the sump first though!

Also, I just bought a ATI sunpower 8 x 54" with fairly new bulbs, for $300!, steal!!... This is going over the tank now.

I am replacing my vertex omega skimmer so I can free up some room in my sump. I am going with RLSS R6-I.. It was a tough decision to make, the omega was a workhorse. Loved the skimmer, but needed the extra room for Reactors andother pumps.

That tank looks very similar to a DSA in construction, I might have missed it, but do you mind me asking how much it costs?

It is VERY similiar to DSA tank, The master builder at the place I got it used to work for DSA. I'm guessing thats why they look so similiar. Only thing different is the overflow box lol. This one is square wehre as the DSA ones have 5 sides to them, ( hard to explain). I have a DSA tank right now that im gonna get rid of since I upgraded.

I got the RLSS R6-I today, and this thing is so quiet, the only way I know its working is by seeing the foam head in the skimmer chamber!

Top one is my current tank the bottom picture is my Deep Sea Aquatics tank. VERY similiar.

Ranger Daryl · 08/03/2013, 07:58 AM

My Deep Sea Aquatics tank I just sold had a rectangular overflow. I think the guy who bought it was surprised to see that it had a serial number. I don't believe that there are many tank manufacturers who do this. I've asked a few shops in Pensacola about Planet Aquarium and ordering a tank from them. I like Deep Sea but their tanks seem to bring in a premium around here.

Update:

I have decided to make the plunge back into LED's. I had AI vegas before, and I didnt like them. So I went back to the good ol trusty ATI sunpower.. Now I have went to the new Ecotech radion gen 3 pro. I only have 1 fixture over my tank for now. Will be buying another in the near future... I have the 1 fixture about 16" above my tank and it covers the whole tank.. I don't have much for corals right now so I can get away with just 1. I will post up some new pictures eventually, I deleted all my photos off photobucket on accident so thats why they arent showing up on here.

Bummer, none of the photos are loading for me. Sounds like a sweet build!

Yeah, same here (photos not loading) Does however sound like a great build. If you don't mind, will you explain why you decided to dump the ATI fixture and go with the LED's.
