400 Gal Reef Tank from Jakarta

Adrianto29 · #1 06/04/2006, 09:54 AM

Hello there,

My name Adrianto from Jakarta, Indonesia.
I start saltwater hobby in year 2002, at this moment I just build my new 400 Gal Tank.

All the plumbing has been installed, will need your input before I fill in with water. If needed I still can modified the plumbing.

The Tank :
Length = 250 cm (98.5 inch)
Width = 80 cm (31.5 inch)
Height = 75 cm (30 inch)
Volume = 1500 liter (400 US Gal)
All made from 19mm Glass
Timber Cabinet

Lighting:
2 units Aquasunlight NG (each 2XMH 250W 10kK + 2XT5 54WBlue)
4 units T5 54W Actinic Blue 03

Pumps :
Main Return = Tunze Master Electronic 1073.14 (3,460 GpH)
Closed Circulation = Tunze Master Electronic 1073.09 (2192 GpH)
Wavemaker = 2 X Tunze Stream 6100 with controller

Chiller :
1pK Titanium In-Line

Skimmer :
H&S A300-3XEheim1260

Since my tank will be loaded with many fishes, Denitrator need to be use.

Others Equipments :
Korallin BioDenitrator
Korallin Calcium Reactor
Aquamedic NitrateReductor
Aquamedic top-off system
Aquamedic Kalkwasser Reactor
Neptune Controller
PinPoint ORP Monitor for Aquamedic NitrateReductor
Resun Ozone Generator (will be replaced with Aquamedic 100mg/h soon)

All equipments are located inside the cabinet except the big skimmer. It's a big challenge to connect all the pipes. The sump box is 140 cm x 60 cm x 50 cm, macroalgae refugium is located in the center.

One overflow box in the left back corner (20 cm x 35 cm), with two pipes. One is 2" to the sump and the other one 1.5" directly to the skimmer.

For closed loop circulation, I use Tunze 2200 gph and UV 57 Watts.

Dedicated ELCB, MCB dan Timer

Top-off water use RO water pump to kalkwasser reactor, controlled by aquamedic top-off system.

Seawater reservoir, bi-weekly 10% water changes is planned.

Adrianto,

Adrianto29 · #4 06/04/2006, 10:10 AM

My lighting are :
2 units Aquamedic Aquasunlight NG (each 2X250W MH 10kK + 2XT5 54W Actinic Blue). They are still on the way from Germany to Jakarta.
4 units DIY T5 54 Watts Actinic Blue.

So total lighting are 1432 Watts.

If everthings goes as planned, The water will be in around 17 June after I collect real live sand from the beach (about 3 hours drive from my home). After that I need to buy cured live rock, and cycle it for about 1 month.

So I think August the first coral will be in.

Thanks a lot for your attention. Any input ?

Looks great. I would kill for a system like that. Can't wait to follow the build up of the tank

shaw · #8 06/04/2006, 04:46 PM

Man, that system is top notch. Great equipment choices. Keep us updated on how the sulfur reactor works out for you.

thanks

Wow, that is some professional plumbing job. Great equiptment choices. Nothing was spared for this tank setup. I cannot wait to see it with the water and livestock it should be just breath taking. GOOD WORK!!!

thor32766 · #10 06/05/2006, 01:18 PM

Great setup!

I cant wait to see more...this is an incredibly clean and well thought out project!

LoneStarSA · #13 06/05/2006, 02:42 PM

Looks pretty cool!!!

TUNZE! TUNZE! TUNZE!

One question, have you tested the stand for the seawater reservoir? Looks pretty large on those angle brackets.

And what is the black box in the lower right side of your stand with what appears to be a analog gauge. A chiller?

I love seeing equipment used in other parts of the world...

elvictre · #14 06/05/2006, 03:06 PM

Sweet setup. Good luck

Very nice set up, great equipment, beautiful work!

Silicone · #16 06/05/2006, 04:53 PM

Very nice setup there! everything looks very neatly done

hope you get water in it soon.

Keep an eye on the aquamedic top up system, I know of a few failures over here in the UK - hope its not tied in with your kalk addition.

Silicone · #17 06/05/2006, 04:55 PM

Doh! just read that it is, hope its reliable for you!

yoboyjdizz · #18 06/05/2006, 05:48 PM

Awsome setup! Can't wait to see it full of life as well.

Lunchbucket · #19 06/05/2006, 07:56 PM

The stand is actually strong enough to handle up to 1,000 Kg. It's use 8 X 12mm bolt for each stand. Screw to the concrete wall.

The Black Box is a chiller, the gauge is a gas pressure meter. It will tell for any freon gas leakage. So It will ensure that my chiller is working fine.

I love Tunze .....

I plan to tied up aquamedic top up system with my kalkwasser reactor.
Do you have any suggestion what equipments that more stable ?

Mr.Furious · #22 06/06/2006, 01:17 AM

Very Impressive Setup. I can only wait to see what it looks like fully stocked and with all that equipment in use. I can only imagine how expensive it is to import all of that equipment to Indonesia.

Reef Man · #23 06/06/2006, 08:56 AM

Very Impressive !!!

Congratulations.

wdt2000 · #24 06/06/2006, 10:47 AM

Very nice, more pictures please. Do you plan on collecting your own coral and fish?

Joao Monteiro · #25 06/06/2006, 11:35 AM

Hi there Adrianto, Greetings from Portugal

Fabulous setup.
One issue for you to consider as regards the closed loop with the spray bar: from what I´ve seen in some friends´tanks, coraline tends to cover the drills of the bar as time goes by and it loses eficiency. Did you consider that ?
