reefierone · 01/27/2008, 06:14 PM

reefierone · 01/27/2008, 06:16 PM

this tank is 72 in long 24 in tall and 30 in deep 3/4in starfire glass right now it has two 175w mh and two 48in vho this lighting is just what was on my 75 and i plan to change to 3 250w mh and two 72in vho

or maybe 2 250s and one 400?? not sure right now i know i do want to at least attempt to avoid using a chiller

i also plan to add a phosban reactor as well as a calcium reactor

kicking around the idea of a remote deep sand bed but dont have any experience with this so im not sure if i want to do this

reefierone · 01/27/2008, 06:35 PM

any questions comments advice or criticisms are welcome!!!

ha well both i suppose

reefierone · 01/27/2008, 06:44 PM

oh i should correct myself here its 1/4" thick front back and sides and the bottem is 1/2

wrott · 01/27/2008, 06:45 PM

Looks very good.
What's going on the the other stand?
Is the stand for the 225g custom, it looks nice.
Does you Leopard wrasse eat prep'ed food well?

reefierone · 01/27/2008, 06:50 PM

i built the other stand to house the monster of a skimmer i got that wont fit under the tank and yes i believe that the stand for the 225 was custom built

and my wrasse is a cow she eats prep'ed and flake

reefierone · 01/27/2008, 06:51 PM

the ballasts for the mh are also in the other stand with the skimmer and i plan to finish it to match the stand to the tank

Reeftanks6 · 01/27/2008, 08:18 PM

looks great

reefierone · 01/27/2008, 08:41 PM

thanx

i have been kicking around the idea of adding a remote deep sand bed
i was hoping to get some input on this as i have no experience with deep sand beds
the display has about 1 1/2 of sand in it throughout so im thinking that this idea maybe pointless???
i was thinking of having the skimmer dump into a small sump i have laying around and filling it with about 6-8" of sand or mud as well as house the chaeato then feed it via gravity back into the sump which would be full of live rock rubble

if it goes as planed there would be no pump and i believe i could eliminate the two korilas that are in the sump right now
