Criley7 Posted August 22, 2013 Author Share Posted August 22, 2013 Nice! I am looking forward to the build. What are you doing for a lid? Versa-Top or something custom? Im gonna make a custom mess net lid like I do for all my tanks. Very nice rockscape! What are your stocking plans? Im going to do a mixed reef with mostly Zoas, palys, LPS, and just a few SPS cause I wanna try and maintain all my parameters with just weekly water changes. And I am not 100% on the fish yet cause I have soooo many I like. But so far I think I'm gonna do a Mandarin and maybe a Metallic Prawn Goby and pistol shrimp. Following along! Like the scape as well. Thanks Man! Link to comment
Spirofucci Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 What? No Octopus????? I like the scape! Link to comment
Criley7 Posted August 22, 2013 Author Share Posted August 22, 2013 What? No Octopus????? I like the scape! Thanks Spiro!! I thought real hard about doing another octopus tank and I would love to again in the future. But always liked my reef tank better. I don't have much money at all to invest in coral so if I do receive any freebies to fill this thing up it might end up having to turn into a octopus tank. Link to comment

patback Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 Very Nice. I'm following along. What's going on with that sump? I'd like to hear how it works. Link to comment
LongPig Posted August 30, 2013 Share Posted August 30, 2013 Very Nice. I'm following along. What's going on with that sump? I'd like to hear how it works. Pat, I used a "Y" fitting coming from the overflow and split the outlet to the two ends of the 10 gallon sump. The right side is the fuge and it has a ball valve to reduce the flow. it flows into the center return area via 3/4" PVC. The left side has the filter sock, heaters and skimmer. It flows through three baffles and into the center return area. Water is fed back to the tank by a Mag 3. Link to comment
