bump for corner tank newcomers

Nice

What lighting do you have?

Noobtosalty · 08/09/2012, 05:26 PM

2 2"current T5's with 2 atcnic bulbs and 2 10k lighting looks better in person planning on a DIY led in the near future

Here is my 1+ year 54g corner. Will be looking for a 92 soon!

kingpin9995 · 08/16/2012, 01:10 PM

Hello people, I have a 52 gallon bowfront run with a 350 Kessil and a aquafuge HOB refugium and skimmer combo. I would really like to move to something under the tank. As we all know the space is limited. Does anyone have suggestions for a model that would work well, of course needing to be higher than long because of the pie shape space. I don't want to make my own and I want enough room to have a sump and a refugium which is a tight fit. Please give me any solutions that would work. I've seen a few different ones that seem to be a good fit including the Aqueon Proflex sump which can maintain a small refugium also. Please advise with any info that may help me make a decision .. Thanks .

Michigan Mike · 10/07/2012, 05:15 AM

Hey Sean,
I ended up moving the outer orbit fixture from the corner tank to my 41g 24x18x24 planted freshwater tank or now but i may replace my 29g with a 40breeder and use the outer orbit instead of my 4x24 ATI Sunpower. I'm looking at other possibilities namely 250w halides, maybe another outer orbit fixture in 250w version for the 36corner tank.
Really into building my own stands now so I can upgrade to larger tanks and sumps, making a stand or the corner tank is a must because the standard stand sucks, but it is pretty, just no room for a decent sump.

Misled · 10/07/2012, 07:56 AM

Mike, click my blog. You can see my 250mh there.

epstein · 10/24/2012, 10:55 AM

After 6+ yrs with my corner its time for a change. I am going to offer for sale to my Corner Peeps my "L" shaped custom built sump. This sump utilizes a nice footprint and has allowed me to run a Deltec APF skimmer 2 Little fishies reactors and a Geo Calcium reactor and Co2 bottle all in my stand. Please contact me for details.

very nice!!

bpcardona · 11/28/2012, 12:49 AM

Thanks windy,

I see that this thread has slowed down. I would love to get it back and going strong. We corner people need to stick together you know.

So lets see some before and after picture!!!! (I need some coral placement ideas)

reefscape15 · 11/28/2012, 07:43 AM

Very nice Brian! I used the black sand in my 54g when I had that set up too. I have been missing the extra space of the cbf tank, as of now I'm cycling a 20h and its just not the same sub a standard rectangle tank. Hopefully in the next couple years I can set up the 54 again

reefscape15 · 11/28/2012, 10:14 AM

This was the first aquascape I tried in my 54.

This was the re-do

Bernie21 · 11/28/2012, 12:15 PM

Wow, I havent seen this thread in a long time, much less posted in it. I have a lot of reading to do.
Due to several reasons I had my tank running, but neglected. Ive been back on it and made some touch ups. I have alot of catching up to do w corals but here go my current pictures.

What it was...
Even the leather, sponge and gorgonian were just added. Only the the 2 nems were there.

I removed the blue tang & some rocks and added corals.
What it is now...

Let me know your thoughts. Im glad to be back & look forward to keeping up w my tank & this thread again.

Amazing Coral Growth! Love it!

Bernie, what's that yellow coral? It really stands out and I could use a splash of yellow.

Its not a coral, its a yellow sponge. Sponges are really underrated in this hobby as they can add so much color. I havent seen that color so I jumped on it, but its really an Idol snack.

Same here... mine was quite poor & in the middle of a serious revamping, on the way up.

MJNTWise · 11/29/2012, 07:08 PM

New to the hobby, Tank is only about 8 weeks old....

windyridge · 12/02/2012, 10:20 AM
