Blastoman...


I've received some PMs for the spec of this tank so I decided to put it here if anyone interest to know....

Tank is 48L x 24W x 17H with open top and rimless from glasscages.com

Lighting is two 250w 10K and two 110w VHO

30g sump contains rubble rocks, turbo floater 1000 skimmer

MRC calcium reactor

GEO rowaphos reactor.

current is achive from a Mag9 for return pump via 1/2 seaswirl plus 2 MJ900 in the tank.

There is a 1/2" to 3/4" sand bed just to cover the bottom of the tank. That 's about all for this tank.

John

Here's my reef, my LPS collection is steadily expanding.



I'm still having prblems getting my full tank shots to come out as "bright" as it looks in person since switching my actinics over to VHO.

Some close ups,









Brian

Bergzy-what lights are you using? Is that tank glass? When are you going to get your 400g?

shhh...

wifey still doesnt really know about it yet...

i am still debating whether to replace the 180g with a glass 400g or do an outside tank ranging 700g to 1300g.

the outside tank would be lit entirely by sunlight (with a little lights for nightime viewing), so the electricity savings from not having to light such a monster would allow me to have such a big tank.

to replace my 180g, it would not be hard at all since all my support equip is already oversized for my present 180g. it would be a simple fact of just replacing the tank and rearranging my lights. but...it i would need to run this by the as she lives in the house as well.

the lights are eco 230 72" giesemann's 3x250w's custom configured so that the two outer lights are independantly controlled from the center light. this allows me to turn on the center light for a 'noon' effect and stays on an extra hour after the side lights go out for a dimming effect.

the tank is a leemar 'polished' glass eurobraced with no noticeable green tint to it. the best part is that the tank is pretty quiet as i have all my heavy duty overpowered and NOISEY equipment in the garage that is only 6 feet away but is insulated by two walls.

i'll repost the journey from home renovation to equipment set up if anyone is interested.

I'll post some updated pics in the next few days but here is my 6 month old 125G.









I definitely will have better pics up in a few days, it's been longer than I thought since I have updated my gallery and the tank looks a lot better.
