pnguy3n Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 Well, I don't usually go on NR but here's my tank thread.I wanted a clean/simple tank. I don't want to use the word modern cause it's misused so much with furniture,decorations, and yes aquariums. Here goes... TANK -36x30x20 rimless starphire(3 sides) I purchased the tank from Ali at Amazing Aquariums&Reefs http://www.amazingaquariumsandreefs.com/ side view top view Link to comment
Jacobnano Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 Nice! You should post on NR more often And I could do the math but it is late lol, how many gallons? Link to comment
pnguy3n Posted September 16, 2009 Author Share Posted September 16, 2009 Here's the steel stand, I decided to have it powder coated white. John from http://www.distunlimited.com/ who helped me with my stand was super helpful and patient with me. Nice! You should post on NR more often And I could do the math but it is late lol, how many gallons? Thanks I appreciate the comment. It's about 93.5 gallons give or take. Link to comment

gabe3eb Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 Much potential, tuning in. Would love to see some number$ for some of the great stuff. Link to comment
pnguy3n Posted September 16, 2009 Author Share Posted September 16, 2009 My steel stand will be skinned by my friend that does concrete work. Here's a picture of it being made, the sides will be concrete and door will be a white kitchen cabinet. Link to comment
Sushi Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 wow, this is going to be an extremely impressive build! let us know when the stand is completely skinned! Link to comment
ScionRacerbB Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 wow looks really sweet...I love it when people put in time for custom builds.... Link to comment
Sushi Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 what will the lighting setup be? Link to comment
PODPIMP Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 WOW looking forward to seeing this one running. Link to comment
pnguy3n Posted September 16, 2009 Author Share Posted September 16, 2009 wow looks really sweet...I love it when people put in time for custom builds.... I'm glad you appreciate it, I didn't want the stand to take away from the tank. It sure seems like it. Are you from Kihei? I went to Maui last year and stayed there. It was a blast. Link to comment
pnguy3n Posted September 16, 2009 Author Share Posted September 16, 2009 what will the lighting setup be? Hi Daniel, are you the one that makes mag racks? If so, then I've purchased from you before. Glad to hear from you dude. Anyways I plan on purchasing either an ATI powermodule or sunpower. I'm debating whether to go with 6 bulb with spotlights or the 8 bulb fixture. I currently have the Sfiligoi SOLEset but the wide is not enough for a 30" wide tank. Link to comment
fewskillz Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 Amazing Aquariums could not be a more fitting manufacturer for that tank. Can't wait to see the progress. Link to comment
SpankythePyro Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 with a 30" depth I'd go 8 bulb!!! Link to comment
nanoreefnate Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 Thats an awesome tank man. good luck with the build! Link to comment
pnguy3n Posted September 16, 2009 Author Share Posted September 16, 2009 Amazing Aquariums could not be a more fitting manufacturer for that tank. Can't wait to see the progress. I totally agree, it's no ELOS or A.G.E but I'm really happy how it turned out. Ali(owner) really helped me out. with a 30" depth I'd go 8 bulb!!! I've been getting alot of input and majority have said 8 bulb. For now I have (1) Tunze 6055, but with that I will also be running (2) Tunze 6045. Link to comment
Phyto4life Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 I would go 8 bulbs as well Link to comment
PrincessLiLi Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 nah get a vortech...your tank would be serious buisness Link to comment
pnguy3n Posted September 17, 2009 Author Share Posted September 17, 2009 nah get a vortech...your tank would be serious buisness HAHA thanks for suggestion but I'm a Tunze guy. Link to comment
Tenacious716 Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 Beautiful setup you've got going on there! Definatly keep us updated w/ lots of pics! Link to comment
pnguy3n Posted September 17, 2009 Author Share Posted September 17, 2009 Here are some of the display tanks at Amazing aquariums&reefs. I had to drive from San Diego to Orange to make my decision. After seeing these tanks it wasn't too hard to make my final decision. Link to comment
Sushi Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 Hi Daniel, are you the one that makes mag racks? If so, then I've purchased from you before. Glad to hear from you dude.

I currently have the Sfiligoi SOLEset but the wide is not enough for a 30" wide tank. Yep, that's me. I agree with the 8 bulb fixture, it'll give you a lot more diversity when you go and choose bulbs, plus your tank is so wide you're going to be happy you went with 2 extra bulbs. I look forward to seeing the tank with some plumbing, LS/LR and water! Oh yea, I second the Vortech too... 1 MP40 or 2 MP20's should do wonders for the tank Link to comment
