swizton Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 So, I am at it again!! Started with a BC29 1yrs ago. Upgraded to a 40 breeder in February... Now I will be upgrading to a 57 Rimless. Always wanted this tank since I saw it but was a little out of my price range. Picked up the tank, stand, and overflow kit for a cool $375 from my local LFS. NEW: 57 Rimless w/ stand Ehiem 1262 ALREADY HAVE: 2 AI SOl Superblue (FREAKING AWSOME) Vortech MP10es Reef Octo 4 20 Long sump (DIY) Jaeger 150w heater LIVE STOCK: 2 clown fish host red bubble tip 1- 2 spot hog fish (beast) 1 Argyle Angel 1 Hawk Fish So she is all wet!!! Move went well and everyone is happy. Please enjoy the crappy pics! Scape is not final Also pulled the trigger on a Apex light setup. Will have next week Link to comment
1fishmonger Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 Illuminata? Excellent choice if so FWIW - the 1262 is going to push a lot of water through your sump - Maybe consider a 1260 and MP40's Link to comment

Should have the new heater and new bulkhead (read the stock ones are crap) tomorrow, then need to make hangers for the lights. Will Update with pics soon It looks like its going to be a nice setup. I see that you have AI lights, you should join the AQUA ILLUMINATIONS CLUB here on NR! Here is the Link to the AQUA ILLUMINATIONS CLUB! Link to comment
swizton Posted October 25, 2011 Author Share Posted October 25, 2011 Here are some photos of the new tank and the soon to be broke down tank: New Tank 40 Breeder Current Sump Some random pics, frags started as 1/2 inch few months ago I plan on using a valve on the return to reduce the flow. I also bought and bent some conduit to hang the lights from. Need to paint and mount and will update soon. Thanks for looking!! It looks like its going to be a nice setup. I see that you have AI lights, you should join the AQUA ILLUMINATIONS CLUB here on NR! Here is the Link to the AQUA ILLUMINATIONS CLUB! When I get this tank up and running i will!! Link to comment
