mariosreef Posted February 27, 2009 Author Share Posted February 27, 2009 Very nice look tank. Where did you get that made? It came from Miracles Aquariums in Ontario, Canada. It's about a 45 minute drive from my house. It looked microscopic next to the custom 600 gallon starfire behemoth that just finished on the day I picked it up! Link to comment

mariosreef Posted March 6, 2009 Author Share Posted March 6, 2009 The built-in sump is finally built-in! Almost ready for a final water flow test... Link to comment

marinekeeper Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 Hellz yeah, very very nice. I can't wait to see this thing with some rocks in it. Keep them pics coming as you advance. Good job thus far. Link to comment
spanko Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 Very nice job!!! Tagging along for the ride!! Link to comment
mariosreef Posted March 6, 2009 Author Share Posted March 6, 2009 Thanks for all of your kind words guys! I’m hoping that I’ll be able to get her up and running this weekend and post some new pics. Although, I still have to find a place to put it and decide (eventually) if I’m mounting on a wall or placing it on a free-standing custom cabinet. Link to comment
fewskillz Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 Very nice! I really like rimless tanks. You're pretty good with a tube of silicone. Well done. Link to comment
spanko Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 So looking at it the large section where the return pump will be, will that also include anything else? If it is to be a fuge with macro algae and such how do you plan to keep stuff from getting sucked up in the pump? Link to comment

If it is to be a fuge with macro algae and such how do you plan to keep stuff from getting sucked up in the pump? The return pump, heater, thermometer and Chemi-Pure bag will all be behind the false wall. The will be no sign of any equipment in the display area. In a few days, and with some new pics, it will all make sense! Link to comment
mariosreef Posted March 13, 2009 Author Share Posted March 13, 2009 Here's a sneak peek of the tank with the pump in and running. Link to comment
ajroy03 Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 Dddang looks good! what r the plans for the media racks ? Link to comment
mariosreef Posted March 19, 2009 Author Share Posted March 19, 2009 Dddang looks good! what r the plans for the media racks ? The top will hold a foam block for mechanical filtering and the lower (larger) section will hold a bag of Chemi-Pure. That's it! Link to comment
Cam barr Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 can you talk a little about attaching the sump area as it relates to the silicone process... Link to comment
Matty1124 Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 you think that mj 404 will be enough flow when there is rock in there? this is an absolutely gorgeous tank... BRAVO! Link to comment
mariosreef Posted March 20, 2009 Author Share Posted March 20, 2009 you think that mj 404 will be enough flow when there is rock in there? this is an absolutely gorgeous tank... BRAVO! Thank you for the compliment! I'm pretty sure that the MJ 404 will do the trick. It only has to push through 6 inches of tubing and then just 16 inches of tank length. When I did my initial water flow test, I actually had to turn the flow down a bit. The water was cresting over the aquarium edge at the other end! Link to comment
