Maverick Reefer Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 (edited) In April I set up an180 gallon marine tank(6x2x2) I love it and it is doing very well. However, in an effort to keep my 'tinkering' hands out of the tank, I finally persuaded my wife to let me buy some glass, wood and acrylic and build my own 50l display tank with a 25l sump and 7.5 l top off tank. It's been fun, fun, fun.... time to start a build thread. I'm aiming for a 'mini cycle' at worst. (there is nothing brown and hairy growing in the sump that's a reflection of the living room rug!) as I am seeding the tank with some siporax, a little sand, live rock and some sponge media from the180. I thought about purchasing TMC habitat 50 tank... they look so good! Then I thought to hell with spending almost £600 pounds on that... I would make my own 'version' for less than half that amount.... wish me luck! The tank including equipment should cost me less than £300. I'm really looking forward to receiving feedback on my plans for this mixed reef and its progress!Display: DIY 12 gallon Display Sump: 6 gallonsLighting: TBAFiltration: Tunze 9001 skimmer, filter floss, gfo, carbonHeater: 50wCirculation: Jebao 1200ATO: Tunze Nano ATO - not purchased yetDosing: Manual ATI Essentials (not pro and not yet!)
