sumphead Posted August 20, 2004 Report Share Posted August 20, 2004 First of all the pictures are unfair. It doesn't look as good in person. This was my 1st tank project. This is sorta a progressive post as I built it. After all these disclaimers here ya go... After this I did a crude Euro-top. This of course before I finally build a router table. Stand in progression.. Kalk reactor I STILL have not finished! This one all together as shot from above. It is a hair shy of 50G with a 20G sump. Lighting is a single CV 250W HQI 15K. Mag 12 circulating with 2-maxi1200s on a wavemaker in the tank. 60lbs of Florida aquacultured critter infested rock (love it). Currently it is im shambles. I rushed it together, overstocked it, and WHAMO! it is cyano ridden. Soooo, it will be tied into a basement sump eventually with a large fuge and prop system. And allowed to age properly. One day...

pb Posted August 20, 2004 Report Share Posted August 20, 2004 Looks great. Did you build the stand and canopy yourself? If so you did a remarkable job! The cyano will eventually go away. I have heard that a Rainford's goby and a fighting conch will eat cyano. What are the dimensions of the tank? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sumphead Posted August 20, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2004 Yeah, I built it all myself. I like building stuff as much as the hobby itself, but it doesn't make me good at it 8O . Though my wife HATES the messes I make. I am not at all worried about the unsightlyness of the cyano. I remove as much as I can and let it burn whatever nutrients it's fueled by until I get it all plumbed into my future monster sump. Thanks for the compliments.

sumphead Posted August 20, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2004 Oh demensions: 22 1/8" X 22 1/8" X 23 1/4" Tall. Total height is 7' tall. I wanted the stand high so it would be at standing eye level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pb Posted August 20, 2004 Report Share Posted August 20, 2004 Very nice. I would let you borrow my kole tang for cyano removal, but there is no way to catch him he is so fast! Great looking system sumphead! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
