Johan Susanto · #1 03/25/2007, 07:53 PM

Hi all member,

I going to build a new sps tank soon, please give input with the system.

tank size :180x 90 x 75cm (72x36x30")
Lighting :MH3x250W, 4x80W T5 ati is it enough or should i go for 4x250??

Zeo filter in sump, do i need refugium, DSB/remote dsb or sand filter ???
for display, im planning to use cement for the bottom, hope than can cover with star polyp, so will look a like soccer field.

water movement : 2x6100 with controller & 1x6080
using DART pump as my return. im planning to add 2 more 6100.

Finally the stand arrive last night

the stand is knockdown system, due to my door size, can't fit if whole stand joined.

Also finish the cement block, for bottom display.

I do try to stick dry sand on the cement block, maybe looks better with sand on...???

Finish cutting the glass, the edge need to be polish.

bloody spend around $550 for zeovit addtive, the most expensive additive did i ever spend, hope can get good result from zeovit.

Tank in progress put together, takes time, cause only spend 2-3 hours a day after finish work.

using timber panel wrap with baking paper, then brush the cement layer by layer till got good thickness.
for the rough form, i just throw cement ball..

this is the floor panel i make it thinner, i can hold up to 79kg, i test it by step on them.
