Great build!!

DeepThought · 03/08/2013, 07:25 AM

Very impressive. I like the way it's all neatly organized. I could definitely take some cues from you.

You've given me some inspiration for another build. Thanks.

Yes I have a thin layer of sand on the bottom not sure if I posted a pic yet.

I have always used live rock and battle with unwanted pest. Everything in this tank I want to have out put it there.

OMG! That actually looks really really good!
Better then anything I can build.

la1fan · 03/08/2013, 02:02 PM

Very, very nice. Can't wait to see pics as your tank progresses.

overexposed · 03/08/2013, 05:08 PM

Looking incredible! Love the sidepanel for electronics I'm planning something similar.

MARINECRITTERS · 03/08/2013, 05:48 PM

Tank is looking phenomal, acrylic is super nice. I imagine you will get some really nice colours with the zeovit system, what will you be dosing to the reactor?

vitodog · 03/08/2013, 05:51 PM

Great build. I love how you organized all of the electrical equipment on the side of the stand. Can you tell us the brand of the cable organizers you used in the stand and were you purchased them? Also, is that glass or plastic on the side door?

The tank picture above is an old pic of the current 90 and that was running full zeovit. I will mostly use the basic 4 with amino acids/coral vitalizer as needed.

I used acrylic for the door window. When I went to buy the glass I remember there was something that made me go with acrylic over glass and I can't remember what it was. Maybe the rabbiting router bit I used or something.

Thanks karsseboom, can you tell us where you purchased the cable organizers/wire tenders displayed in the glass door? I've looked at numerous web sites that sell cable organizers, cable managers, etc., but have not seen anything that resembles the organizers you are using. Thank you.

Reef or Die · 03/09/2013, 07:24 AM

Great build!! I especially like the equipment cabinet and the aquascape!!

Can you post a pic of the sump running. I have the same skimmer and can't seem to get it dialed in. I would like to see what type of skim mate you are getting out of it?

Also, may be a dumb question. But what is the idea behind cooking the Marco rock in acid? I thought this was only done to live rock to kill off all the nasties?

I had this skimmer on my other system and it worked great. Here is an old cell phone picture of the skimmer.

The rock was bleached for 24hr and then acid washed for 3. The idea is to remove leaching p04 that may happen with dry rock.

Such an organized set-up. Love it.

Reeftanks6 · 03/09/2013, 12:13 PM

This is an awesome build. Love how you did the stand! For your dosing, those pumps are going right to your sump right?

karsseboom · 03/16/2013, 09:54 PM

Finally got around to install the lighting.

Also installed the LED lighting for the sump. It has motion sensors so when your open the doors it auto turns on.

sahin · 03/17/2013, 08:40 AM

Wow that looks so sleek dude. Love the red colour inside the cabinet.

Any pictures of how the lights are situated in the stand and where did you find them?

Nothing to crazy. I bought then at costco, about 10x10 squared with LEDs and a motion sensor.
