hairymushroom · #**353** 07/20/2006, 04:19 AM

Come on guys , i'm sure there more setups out there !

john76 · #**354** 07/20/2006, 09:42 AM

Moved in December and really, really put my reef on the backburner since then.... just started getting things together.

This is in a room of my basement... my wife leaves me alone down here

Don't have a real display yet... gonna wait and set that up real slow.

RO top off and salt water mixing cans

Reeftoker... How do you have the return line set up... number of outlets etc?

I have 4 tanks 72 x 12 x 12 and I've never really been happy with the results.

Hi guys! I don't want to hijack the thread, but I am attempting a small scale prop/ grow out tank. Standard 29gal w/ stand (already have, not in use), and a 150W Oceanlight w/ Phoenix 14k. I would like to utilize the stair step eggcrate shelves(3 or 4 levels). What should I use for filtration as the tank is not drilled. I have thought of using 25-30lbs. of LR and maybe the Tunze Nano Reef pack. Any other ideas out there? Shoot some of them my way!

BTW- I have spent the last couple of hours going through this thread, nice tank systems everyone!

Just start a new thread? There are not that many new threads in this forum at any given time. I am sure some one will see it... then you don't have to be sorry about hijacking a great thread ;p

this is a great thread, I hope to add some in the future, but please keep it going!

Thanks! New thread listed.

4x3x1 raceway tank, finishing up now.

bond007069 · #**363** 07/27/2006, 05:34 PM

Interesting Design JeremyBlaze, not an expert but the raceway looks to big to harness the action of the water swooching through channels.

hope it works out

Ixthys · #**364** 07/28/2006, 09:12 AM

What are the little nubbin's on the acrylic?

Glove · #**365** 07/28/2006, 10:16 AM

Here is my propigation/grow-out system. Its nothing to complicated and not real pretty. I just gathered up a tank and sump, found a GEO skimmer and CA reactor, nailed some wood, glued some pipes together, and filled it up. There are two overflows on each end w/ 1" drains. The return pump is a pan world 100PX. I figure about 80 gals in the main tank, an about 60-70 in the sump.
I have a PFO (3) 250w DE MH w/ (2) 72" VHO lamps I am going to use, but I need to order the glass lens for it and make an acceptable canopy. Currently I am using some older PC light fixtures that hold (2) 96w lamps in each one- so 4 96w PC lamps over a tank thats 72" long x 24" wide x only 11" deep.

NorthernCF · #**366** 07/28/2006, 10:30 AM

You "JUST" slapped that together, hey...

Kinda looks like you knew what you were doing ;p

Jeremy Blaze · #**367** 07/28/2006, 10:58 AM

Each raceway is 12" wide, it will help in terms of the water flow for sure.

The little nubs are acrylic squares for me to sit eggcrate shelves on if I desire.

Jeffie · #**368** 07/28/2006, 05:28 PM

Here's my humble contribution... used as a frag and QT tank...

40 gallon breeder
20 gallon sump
ER CS6-1 skimmer
6 x MJ1200 on a wave timer
1 250 w MH
2 x 65w PC actinic

apistomaster · #**369** 07/29/2006, 05:00 PM

To: Jeremy and Jeffie, The raceway design is an excellent idea, very efficient use of water power. I have considered a similar grow out system but struggle with how to reach greater synergy using the "darKside" of the eggcrate to eek out production of other organism(s). I realize there is no real wasted space if for no other reason WQ.("The solution to pollution is dilution")

grallster · #**370** 07/29/2006, 05:28 PM

Here's mine!

apistomaster · #**371** 08/01/2006, 05:54 PM

Bill,
That's nice set up. I just bought a commercial plexi system preplumbed and with florescent fixtures. There are 7 divideable 48x18x12H tanks for only $800. Only two can be set aside for sps prop because I need more grow out space for the FW side of my hobby. Can't wait to get them up and running. They can be set up on two vertical shelves. But they are a real find for me because I live in a semi-rural area and things like that don't come around everyday. I have been away from reefing since the sps revolution has happened.

apistomaster · #**372** 08/01/2006, 06:49 PM

riptidereef, The system I described have the standard aquablue plexi backs which makes them a little more attractive than all clear. For the reef portion I have to get the skimmer and UV because I have a MagDrive 9.5 to pump. The FW will need a #12 pump and DIY wet/dry+UV but that's about it. Do frags sell well enough to help defray costs or is this completely a labor of love?

apistomaster,

Is this the thread you are looking for?

It's a long one, I'm only about halfway through reading it myself, but lots of good info.

20L plumbed into my sump for the display. Lighting is temporarily 2x65w PC. Return pump is a mag 9.5 shared with the display. Ball valves allow me to control flow seperately to display and frag tank.

Tank is pretty empty, it was just set up last week. Just have some GSP in there for now. AND a strawberry pseudochromis that was overly aggressive, removed him from the display.

hairymushroom · #**375** 08/05/2006, 11:18 AM

Very nice setups riptidesreef, any reason for having sand in them?
