My new project...........

[Bamm Bamm]

Ok I still have some frags of SPS and Zoa's for sale.. I'll be taking down my 90g an prop tank hopefully this weekend and setting this up If I can get a stand/hanging canopy built for it=)
Measurements
24" wide
15" tall
14" front to back on the top
20" front to back on the bottom


This will be my temporary tank to conserve electricity/keep my in the hobby for the time being the electricity bill was $500/last month for the house..

So plans for the tank
-Single 250w Mh either a 10k or 14k running off an Electronic EV-Tech Ballast
-Protein skimmer- Euroreef I run on my 90g
-Water movement- 3xmj1200s' on wavemaker
-2x28w actinics
-either BB or 1" of sand
SPS/Clams and Zoas
Not sure what I'll run for the return yet because I might plumb a softy tank in and just make this one sps/clams.. if run two tanks i'll run my quietone 4000(1017gph) for the return

What kind of tank is that ive never seen one before

[lanxang]

It's a clam tank.

[Bamm Bamm]

=) Yep my new clam tank.. Picked it up last night.. Along with a Beautiful Blue Valida Frag from James at Aquascene.. I'll be building the stand/plumbing it this weekend and hopefully taking my prop tank and 90g down..
Bought a small copperband also who's picking all over the place=)

[thereefgeek]

How's the copperband do on mojano's?

[Bamm Bamm]

Hmmm still waiting hes picking at everything but I haven't seen athem aptasias lately.. Been home late lately..

[Bamm Bamm]

Update. the stand is built the holes are drilled(the clam tank will hae two 1" bulkheads with strainers for overflows), I'm also plumbing in my 20g acrylic and I'm running a very shallow 1" sand bed, and I have all my zoanthids and Cheato in there... It's not ocnnected to the main system yet.. I will be taking down the 90g and setting up the clam tank in it's place and plumbing in the 20g this weekend after I install the new Headers for my truck and reprogram the computer..

[Bamm Bamm]

Oh yeah. the 20g has a single 1" bulkhead with strainer for the overflow.. I will be running both tanks off my 1017gph quietone 4000... with the majority of flow going to the Barebottom Clam/Sps tank and then minimal flow thorought the Zoanthid tank... The Zoo tank will actually act as a refugium as well... currently.I have my 12g nano cube 2x24w Pcs hood sitting on top of it and will probably leave it like that.. I need to build some sort of hanging canopy though for the 250w 14k that will be over the clam/sps tank

Pics will probably be posted this weekend(my fiance has my camera=)

[Tenderoni Drop]

i have a hungry racoon buterfly

[Bamm Bamm]

Do they bother SPS?? I didn't end up getting the clam tank up this weekend my grandmothers been in the hospital so I didn't have time hopefully this weekend though..

I did setup the 20g and I have all my LPS, and tons of Zoanthids in there along with my True Perc and my serpant star.. I used a 1" sandbed in it and just have two small powerheads and a mj1200 in there for flow right now.. Hopefully the 90g will be coming down this weekend and I can plumb the clam tank and the 20g together with the 40g sump..

[Tenderoni Drop]

dont know but ive seen him eat mushrooms which are part of the anenome family

[Bamm Bamm]

works out good I hate mushrooms=)

[Tenderoni Drop]

Is your clam tank going yet?

[Bamm Bamm]

Nah I should have it all plumbed up this evening I'm working ona few things online then I'm going to take down the 90g..

[Tenderoni Drop]

Hey whats up with ocean mistries in brentwood u been there

[Bamm Bamm]

It sucks.. Not worth wasting your time to check out;...

****ty livestock/and no knowledge

my clam tank is up.. Still not done plumbing it I worked on it till 1:30am.. I need to pick up some spa flex and some unions tonight to finish the plumbing and devise a way to mount the mh above it=)

[Bamm Bamm]

DAMN i WAS UP TILL 2AM AGAIN LAST NIGHT AFTER WORK WORKING ON MY TANK.... Both the tanks are completely plumbed to the 40g sump now and I'll be adding SW to the sump tonight and turning everything on and adjusting the overflows..

I also need to devise some sort of light holder since the SPS have been without light for 2 days now.. I ended up having the clam tank and stand out from the wall about 12-18" like how Jesus did with his 240g so I can walk behind it and access every nook of it and the Zoanthid tank..

[Shimobe238]

i know how those nights go. you get going and you just don't want to stop. good luck with it all can't wait to see it up!

[Bamm Bamm]

Doesn' look quite as nice as I'd look but it's got a ton of flow with the 1850gph Tunze in the 25g clam tank=)

[mothra]

haha... I've been there man. I've taken some days off work cause I was too tired after working on the tank all night.


p.s - now you gotta change your signature...

[Bamm Bamm]

=)..
I got it all running last night the clam tank has dual 1" bulkheads through the bak wall with No strainers (I've decided against putting any fish in the clam tank for now..) the 20g acrylic Zoanthis tank has the copperband, the true perc and my mandarin in it, it has a single 1" bulkhead through the back wall with a strainer to keep the fish out.. It's actually really quiet..Of course my Euroreef is 5x as loud as the three overflows..
I ended up putting BOTH of my Tunzes in the clam tank a 1600gph one and a 1850gph one turned up full blast..
