update 1/24/06

 

Tank is clean, sump is clean, 120 lbs of arag-alive sitting on my desk.

 

Started plenum construction. Cut the egg crate to size, must go to lowes tommorow and get more pvc pipe. I will post pics and instructions when I get it done.

 

After that, minor plumbing, and tank will be ready to be filled with water.

 

ETA for completion is next monday.

 

First fish & corals most likely the following sunday.

Just have to glue a few more pieces of pvc and waiting for the maxijet 1200 powerheads and bucket of reef crystals to arrive from live aquaria.

 

It is turning out way awesome. I cant wait to fire it up.

 

There will be tons of pics and probably a new thread next week.

MY TANK IS DONE!

 

All plumbing is done and tank is filled with water. Adding sand and plenum tommorow.

 

I just got home from work though and am tired. New thread and pics tommrow. I still got a bunch more pics to take.

 

To celebrate it finally being done, I decided to make some crazy impulsive purchases today:

 

-Pacific Coast Imports CL-450 1/6 hp Chiller w/ built in dual stage controller and heater port

 

 

-MRC C-1 Calcium Reactor

 

 

-Dual Gauge CO2 Regualtor

-Pinpoint pH controller

 

Anyways, so watch for a new thread.

Any updates? Old thread I know but I just bought my 58 a few weeks ago and I need ideas!

 

Thanks!

I took the tank down about a year ago. Getting ready to set it back up. I'll start a new thread since I bought all new equipment and am going to set it up a little different.

 

Also, haven't decided if I am going to keep this tank or get a different one. I really want a 4ft tank. Maybe a 72g bowfront or 75g.
