Chief Reefer Posted April 9, 2015 Author Share Posted April 9, 2015 Teaser for you guys Taking this out while tank is running...not a good idea. Outcome so sexy tho. Link to comment
Chief Reefer Posted April 11, 2015 Author Share Posted April 11, 2015 Finally had some time today to finish things up. Right now the tank looks like a cloudy mess due to having to rescape, so I'll just leave this here for now: Specs: 24x12x14 Diamond series from advanced acrylic Went with black baffles and a black euro brace, dosing line holders and probe holders. I call it stealth sump. Link to comment

Chief Reefer Posted April 12, 2015 Author Share Posted April 12, 2015 Wow!!! How did u cut everything out, with it running? Balls of steel.... Not easily lol. There were a few times when the thoughts "what did I get myself into" and "I hope I didn't bite off more than I can chew" we're getting the better of me haha. Stuck withit tho. That glass baffle system was very hard to get off. Went through about 10 razors before finally separating it from the tank. All the livestock has made it through. One Acro definitely showing signs of stress, but everything else looking good. Nitrates increased because I was messing with the sand a lot, but I already changed about 20 gal of water since starting the project to combat it. Couple things to note: - still need to clean up the seams more from the baffle system, and take off 2 more pieces of glass where the media baskets used to rest - having some issues getting the MAME overflow running properly. I'm trying multiple different pumps with varying GPH - trying to use something I have rather than purchase new. What pumps are you guys using? - skimmer is still breaking in. Hoping to see some skimmate soon, going on 3 days so far. Lots of micro bubbles, but I think they are reducing in number. Hope to have some better pics for you guys later. I'm debating mounting all my frags right now to clear my sandbed Link to comment

Chief Reefer Posted April 13, 2015 Author Share Posted April 13, 2015 I'm using the Tunze 1073.02 pump with the mame and it's working good. Thanks, I was debating on that one. a lot of people like the sicce brand pumps as well. Another fts with happy open softies and a semi clear sandbed: Still need to mount all of these guys; ORA Green planet ORA Mint Pavona ORA Red planet Red Pocci Another generic brown/gold/green acro Slowly but surely!
