peewee1467 Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 WOW! that's such a nice tank! Any info on equipment and livestock you plan on adding? Link to comment
Zer0 Posted January 26, 2011 Author Share Posted January 26, 2011 WOW! that's such a nice tank! Any info on equipment and livestock you plan on adding? Thanks peewee To be completely honest, I'm not too sure on what it is I want to do with this tank yet. It's definitely going to be a mixed reef, but with the main focus on Zoanthids/Palythoas. Definitely SPS though. I'm also looking to put in some schooling fish in there, maybe a few orange-lined cardinals or a similar species. I'll definitely update the thread when I'm set on what I want. As for the equipment, pretty much nothing lol. Probably a Koralia 1 for flow, definitely a sump which will be solely a refugium with a 5" DSB. I might run a skimmer.. not sure. Definitely an ATO system in the near future. Dimensions? 20x20x10 Link to comment
peewee1467 Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Nice, I want to make my tank full of zoas/palys on the bottom with a whole bunch of SPS on the rock. t5s or MH for this tank? =] hahah Link to comment

Zoas and lps on the bottom and sps on top. Good idea dude. Haven't decided on the lighting yet... but i'm now leaning more towards LED's!! Wooh! The 24led kit from RapidLED has caught my eye.. so we'll see. Link to comment
Zer0 Posted January 26, 2011 Author Share Posted January 26, 2011 Nice tank zero. Thanks Hype. It's nothing right now but hopefully I can turn it in to something inspiring like your tank. Link to comment

Meximazing Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 LED's all day man! You might be interested in making a kit from Ledgroupbuy.com and nanotuners.com. Use nanotuners to buy the Thomas Research drivers. They don't require a dimming signal or internal adjustment like the meanwells. Just attach a pot and dim away Link to comment
Zer0 Posted January 26, 2011 Author Share Posted January 26, 2011 who did you order the tank from? AdvanceAcrylics. John hooked me up big time on the price. The tank is flawless. It's the best tank I've ever owned. Practically no visible silicone anywhere. Plus, I fell in love with the rounded corners. LED's all day man!

I will definitely check out those sites and look into the TR drivers. Can't wait for the LED's. Link to comment
Zer0 Posted January 26, 2011 Author Share Posted January 26, 2011 Two more pics. Tank in all it's glory. On a non-glorious temporary stand. I never even knew my POS had a macro setting, and i'm just finding out now that I like it a lot. The overflow is amazing on this tank. Link to comment
Zer0 Posted February 2, 2011 Author Share Posted February 2, 2011 Picture Update: I finally broke down and decided to do the VicSkimmer light tree. It is amazing, it's perfectly centered and i love it. Can't wait to attach my light to it. It already looks so clean even without the light. Painted. Door being finished as well as light tree: wut? That's all for now. More pictures later tonight when the stand is 100% complete and the light tree is back on. Thanks for looking. Link to comment
Rehype Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Great job on the stand and light tree zero Link to comment
Zer0 Posted February 3, 2011 Author Share Posted February 3, 2011 Thanks Hype! I thought the stand came out pretty well for having such a limited amount of tools. All i had was a circular saw and a nice sander.. Man.. I spent weeks on this stand. But all in all, i think it came out great. I'm actually really proud of it. I think this is going to be my best build. I was going to take more pictures but in the middle of drying the light tree fell off of my dads workbench and scuffed up some of the paint so i had to re spray it. Pictures tomorrow of the finished build for sure. Stay tuned! Link to comment
AJ_Tsin Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 Amazing. Following along here. As you must know I am a fan of shallow tanks Keep the updates coming. Link to comment

What does POS even mean? I always think it's piece of sh!t when I see it. "I never even knew my POS had a macro setting" haha Link to comment

Thanks dude. And yeah actually lol i will be using marco rocks. As for the scape, i'm not really sure yet, but i'll probably just make something up as i go. What does POS even mean? I always think it's piece of sh!t when I see it. "I never even knew my POS had a macro setting" haha I like to think it's both "Point and Shoot" and "Piece of Sh!t". Considering my camera is both.
