nagytamas Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 My wife asked me what am I want as a valentin's day present. Yes you guessed correct, I asked for a new tank! Happy valentin's day! Display: 800mm X 400mm X 400mm (32" X 16" X 16") 128L (34 Gallon) Lighting: Makersled Lumia 5.2 x 2 Filtration: HOB Filter, with 4 racks, 1x gfo, 1xcarbon, 2x filter floss Skimmer: Ista skimmer Heater: Hagen Elite 200w Circulation: Jebao wp 10 + Jebao SF 8000 This project will be my fifth, and biggest nano tank setup. I plan to transport everything from my 8g nano after cycling, and convert the 8g to a quarantaine tank. My aim only keep lps and softies, maybe after upgrade with one more lumia led keep some sps and clams. I want to keep nutrients level low with skimming, and water changes. Link to comment
nagytamas Posted March 9, 2015 Author Share Posted March 9, 2015 Some stuff arrived to my new setup. Despite to this tank got green light, beeing a DIY fanatic I want to DIY whatever possible to my tank. New leds from Ledgroupbuy: Stand arrived: Link to comment
nagytamas Posted March 11, 2015 Author Share Posted March 11, 2015 Last weekend finaly finished with the stand, and today I'll visit lfs store to buy coral sand and salt to start cycling the tank. Maybe I'll buy some LR if find some pretty ones. Link to comment
nagytamas Posted March 12, 2015 Author Share Posted March 12, 2015 Yesterday moved everything from my 8G nano to this tank with some new coralsand and new sw. Pics later. It looks great, but needs more LR and a bigger streamer. I'm thinking of buying a jebao fs 8000. Maybe today I ask my wife to raise the founds of this project. Link to comment
nagytamas Posted March 13, 2015 Author Share Posted March 13, 2015 Got the new FS800 and a big LR with more than 30 discs yep Some pics about it. Today after work I'll try to aquascape it, but it will be hard with tath amount of LR, maybe another visit to the LFS. FTS new LR sorry for the low quality pics Link to comment
nagytamas Posted April 26, 2015 Author Share Posted April 26, 2015 A second lumia has been added and removed the lens to dismiss the disco effect. The results are awesome, the tank brighten up, the colors are glowing, and I love the new natural look! Pics update: Link to comment
davidanthony921 Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 Nice build man. Where did you get that awesome tank? Link to comment
nagytamas Posted April 27, 2015 Author Share Posted April 27, 2015 Nice build man. Where did you get that awesome tank? Thanks. This build is only 2 months old. Stuff bought from LFS stores. A small part of the corals bought from fellow reefers. Link to comment
nagytamas Posted May 7, 2015 Author Share Posted May 7, 2015 At the weekend got some new frags from lfs and a fellow reefer. The new caulastrea frag was dirt cheap, but in bad shape. Hope recovers fast in my system. And one unidentified LPS, also dirt cheap but in bad condition. Bought an acropora frag to test is it possible to keep more demanding SPS corals in my system, got a ric and a gorgonia from a friend. Link to comment
cjm3fl Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 Nice size tank and scape is done well. It has a great volume giving you lots of options. I'm going to follow along and pick up some pointers from this tank. Link to comment
nagytamas Posted May 31, 2015 Author Share Posted May 31, 2015 Today I've lost my lismata, my wife wept for her. I don't know why, but the shrimp died when molted. Cleaner shrimps have been my favorite reef inhabitants for the time I'm in the hobby. Maybe I'll get a new one someday. But today I bought new stuffs, a Jebao rw 15 pump, and a tunze 9004 skimmer. I konw it's a little bit overkill for this tank, but it was a bargain. Pics next day. Link to comment
richgoose Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 Sorry for your loss! Update us on how that new rw15 does for you please Link to comment
nagytamas Posted July 5, 2015 Author Share Posted July 5, 2015 Sorry for your loss! Update us on how that new rw15 does for you please It was too overkill. I replaqced with the fs 8000. But yesterday bought an 54G new tank, and put the rw 15 there. Link to comment
nagytamas Posted July 5, 2015 Author Share Posted July 5, 2015 Yesterday bought a new tank, and new frags. It was a bargain, because the LFS will close next week, and sales of everyting.The tank was one of the LFS's fish selling tank, and the corals were in the main display tank. Now the new corals stay in this system until the new tank starts. The heavy overload started a cyano boom, but the params are good. Some pics: Link to comment
