Hey gawf4fun! Nice setup. I cannot tell you much about the vortech other than I will now be moving my fish tank to accommodate the pumps... mumble grrrr mumble... You need over 2.5" from the wall to glass for the pumps... Echotech as a forum on RC for more details. They are definitely getting amazing reviews, and their customer support is full of praise. I'm gong to be throwing 2 into my 92gal bowfront to get random turbulent flow for the SPS. I'm hopefully moving the tank tomorrow.. trying to line up the help to get it done. I'm sure you'll like the vortech, it's getting great reviews.

Michael · 01/10/2009, 10:01 AM

well ive had a word via pm with a moderator and basically its not practicable to get a forum for a corner club, however this doesnt mean we cant keep this thread going and encourage new members, hope all you guys and gals keep posting here to help newcomwers and we can also exchange ideas, thank you very much fellow corner owners im humbled by your contributions and am honestly priveliged to be a part of REEF CENTRAL and this thread, cheers guys, keep up the great work

Hookup · 01/10/2009, 11:16 AM

too bad, would have been nice to have. I can see why they wont do it... there'd be literally hundreds of forums/clubs... but it would have been nice... After all, we have the best tanks!

well it would have been great, but it just wont be, so we need to try to make our own club, jesse is the main man when it comes to photos and the like, perhaps he can design avatars we can all use and we will make our own club within RC, and stick together and help each other out, by doing tank builds like jesse is doing now and showing pics of flow and lighting and genrally halping new members with corners, at worse weve all met and know were not alone with our different corner tanks, im prepared to keep this thead going and will always post and add anything i can constructively to make it work, and lets hope we get more newbies joining, and yes one day we may get a corner tank of the month

i suppose i could always swim across the atlantic for meetings

gawf4fun · 01/10/2009, 01:43 PM

Thanks Mike, Hookup and Kelso for all the positive comments on my 180 corner. I'm all for continuing to post pics, comments and other useful information for my fellow "Cornerownians" (non gender specific phrase Kelso).

It has been a struggle at times with equipment failures, upgrades and just about 8 weeks ago, a cucumber got blenderized in my closed loop and distributed throughout my tank. The ammonia spike took out every fish I had

(and 1 x SPS), with the exception of my purple tang. I've been re-stocking fish since then, trying to add new fish which I've not previously owned. In this hobby, every cloud has a silver lining.

I'm still planning to post a sump pic this afternoon after I do my waterchange. Cheers all!

Husky_1 · 01/10/2009, 04:11 PM

Not the best pic, the colors are washed out, I did not shut off the pumps, etc, but here it is.

Hookup · 01/10/2009, 04:49 PM

V-Nice Husky_1! Love that tang and the open look. No sand isn't for me, but I appreciate the value.

Lots of frags there too... looking good for sure.

I notice you have the bigger sized glass cleaner magenet thing. Do people find that works better than the slim-size? I was wondering given the curve of the front glass is the bigger one (that I also have) as good as the narrow thin version?

gawf4fun · 01/10/2009, 06:00 PM

Very nice Aquascaping Husky_1. I like how much room you've left for the frags and corals to grow out and fill in the gaps and crevices, etc. Are those powerheads modded maxijets? Do you think they'll provide enough flow for all the SPS as they grow out? Looking good.

Bernie21 · 01/10/2009, 09:10 PM

gawf4fun- Nice tank, Im sorry to hear you have had so much trouble w your tank, but hopefully this time around you'll have better luck & you can count on us for any help you may need. I wish I had that type of water volume, the fish I could keep, oh well.
Husky, good to see you here, tank is looking nice, I hope to finally meet you at the frag swap.
Michael, as far as the corner club/forum, you, I can see how its not convinient for them to give us our own forum, truthfully there really isnt enough of us. But we can do our own club and we can post right here. Im down for the Idea of a club avitar, that'll be cool. You can suggest to the mods though, to atleast lock this thread on top of the forum since they wont give us our own forum, this way people can find us easily. Im sure that can be arranged. Its not an entire forum.

reefswinger · 01/10/2009, 09:18 PM

thanks for the welcome . and no i dont think we've yet spoken. im still muddling through all this new info. theres soooo much to learrn... and soooo much too read.

Michael · 01/11/2009, 01:15 AM

wow sdoggssgf, what a fantastic looking tank, i like the way you are making the most of the space in there, just brilliant, does the rock touch the back wall? is there flow down behind it?can we see some spec please, ie lighting flow, sump yes or know dosing schedule etc, and thankyou for posting

Michael · 01/11/2009, 01:25 AM

looks like a nice light output jesse, when that water eventually clears i recon its going to look great, try getting one of these LED bars for your blues, 1 bar placed at the front would be good for moon lights

http://www.tmc-ltd.co.uk/aquarium/aquaray-lighting.asp

and heres the american website link to buy them, just in case you think they look ok

very nice FTS, personally i dont allow corraline to grow on the sides, but after seeing your tank i think it wouldnt bother me now, it just looks so healthy, great photo, and nice open look to the tank as well

sdoggssf · 01/11/2009, 02:25 AM

Thanks for the kind words Michael, I appreciate it. I cant find the picture of the structure i made for my rock work, but it was made out of egg crate and PVC pipe. My rock work doesn't touch the back of my tank it's just open space behind the rocks.

LIGHTING:
I am running 1 400w radium (Galaxy ballast) with two (24inch) 75w VHO actinics.
CIRCULATION:
Im using a MAG 12 as my main pump and two 6105 tunze pumps on a multi controller for in-tank circulation.
OTHER:
Precision Marine calcium reactor, carbon, phosphate, Euro Reef skimmer, refugium.

I located my sump on the other side of the wall of the tank. We all know it's dam near impossible to fit anything under a corner tanks cabinet.

Michael · 01/11/2009, 02:32 AM

outstanding set up, really, im very impressed, i love the calcium reactor placement, im struggling with space, in fact its ridiculous, my sump is in the left side and i have a water resevoir in the right next to all the electrics

and not much room for anything else, im seriously considering keeping the ro-resevoir outside the tank when i set it back up and then i will have a bit of space under the right hand side then, im thinking about a seperate refugium under there, but havent quite worked out how to feed it yet

oh the fun we have with these corners and lack of space

Hookup · 01/11/2009, 10:18 AM

sdoggssf; Very nice... FULL. Everything looks healthy and growing. How long have you been running this setup? Did you start with the Tunze Controlled pumps? If not, did you notice any major improvements once you installed them? The tank looks rich!

one more, is it a 92gal or the smaller 54gal?

sdoggssf · 01/11/2009, 11:45 AM

Thanks guys...
Michael I know what your talking about when it comes to space and these tanks. There is not enough space for lighting, sump, or circulation within the tank which is very frustrating.

Hookup, my tank is a 54 gallon corner and has been running for about year and a half. I did use 4 6025 tunze pumps for about a year and everything looked great, but as coral grows it gets harder and harder to keep direct flow off of the corals so I switched to the 6105's. I do notice much more polyp extension due to the random flow of the tunze's on the multi-controller. it's still very hard to get the current the whey i want, but i finally positioned them in a place that works. I really wanted a tunze nano wave box but everyone i talked to said it wouldn't work on a corner tank. Bummer...

Michael · 01/11/2009, 11:58 AM

well its a pleasure to have you on here sdoggssf, you have 7 years experience and mislead(jesse)20 years, plus the aquascapes from bernie and epstien and the input from flipside and all the other guys, sorry if i didnt mention you personally i think this thread is a really good information thread for all of us, i actually use 2 tunze 6025 s myself and find them invaluable for a corner, if you want some input on flow just ask, ive 5 powerheads and a return and have moved them about at least 10 times over the last year or so and still struggle to get it right, ive decided my aquascape is pretty crap now after seeing all you guys tanks and will have to get more rock and improve it

gawf4fun · 01/11/2009, 02:18 PM

Thanks Misled, those lights are gonna rock and I love the false corner canopy you've built for them.

sdoggssf: That tank looks awesome! I am absolutely amazed with that ricordia colony rock. I've got several distributed around my reef, but a ricordia garden is so beautiful. Your behind-the- wall sump looks very functional. That would be a vast improvement for my system which, like most others here, is limited by space. I wish I could add a refugium, but there's no where that I can see to fit one. (and the Mrs. won't tolerate any other equipment outside the stand, the chiller and closed loop have maxed out her acceptance) Here's a picture of my lighting and stand with equipment. If someone has a suggestion, I'm all ears.[IMG]

cczarnik · 01/11/2009, 02:53 PM

Some very nice systems on this thread, I enjoyed reading abou thtem. I'm a little late to the party, just snapped some pics of my 92 corner system. Had this one for about a yr, before that it was a 24G nano for a about 3 yrs.

Shot of tank in the corner of living room:

Actinic shot (earlier pic slightly different scape than above):

Here's the sump/fuge (in the garage on other side of wall, has skimmer, about 25 gal running, with ATO, heater, kalk drip). I plan to set up a frag tank / rearing tank for my clowns if/when they spawn. (been playing slow jazz in the display room, but no success yet. Maybe vodka dosing would help

:

Here's my fuge (20 gal, stuffed with LR / macro, it was a wet dry I had, added it to increase total system vol):

Here's the lighting 1x250 HQI (Reef Optix III), 2x24 VHO Actinic(apologies for under exposure, just taking quick snaps), photo of one of my clowns in the bta (hard to get, usually he comes out begging for food when he sees me):

Orange cap, zoos, hairy shrooms, etc:

Close shot of Ric (I don't have a macro lens, but this is close to glass):

Birds nest (grown from 1" frag in about 6 mo, almost tennis ball size):

tubs, etc.:

(and the Mrs. won't tolerate any other equipment outside the stand, the chiller and closed loop have maxed out her acceptance) Here's a picture of my lighting and stand with equipment. If someone has a suggestion, I'm all ears.[IMG][/IMG] [IMG][/IMG] __________________ Beware the naked man who offers you his shirt...

I'm a little late to the party, just snapped some pics of my 92 corner system. Had this one for about a yr, before that it was a 24G nano for a about 3 yrs. Shot of tank in the corner of living room: Actinic shot (earlier pic slightly different scape than above): Here's the sump/fuge (in the garage on other side of wall, has skimmer, about 25 gal running, with ATO, heater, kalk drip). I plan to set up a frag tank / rearing tank for my clowns if/when they spawn. (been playing slow jazz in the display room, but no success yet. Maybe vodka dosing would help : Here's my fuge (20 gal, stuffed with LR / macro, it was a wet dry I had, added it to increase total system vol): Here's the lighting 1x250 HQI (Reef Optix III), 2x24 VHO Actinic(apologies for under exposure, just taking quick snaps), photo of one of my clowns in the bta (hard to get, usually he comes out begging for food when he sees me): Orange cap, zoos, hairy shrooms, etc: Close shot of Ric (I don't have a macro lens, but this is close to glass): Birds nest (grown from 1" frag in about 6 mo, almost tennis ball size): tubs, etc.:
