Hi Reefers,

We thought you might be interested in one of our recent installations.
We commisioned the tank for Mark McJannet in January 2011,since then
it has blossomed into a spectacular and succesful SPS dominated reef.

The tank is maintained by the owner who has become a fine reefer in a very short span of time, largely under the guidance of Adriaan who is very good at taking the Newbi out of our customers.:p

Here are some pics, which we will add to.

Please feel free to ask any questions you may need answering.:)

The tank is still new and effort was taken to ensure that there is sufficient space between corals to allow the colonies to fully express themselves in time.
 
Looking good !
 
Awesome :thumbup:
 
Mark is as much a stickler for detail as Adriaan is, so this tank is a great showcase of how Idol likes to build it's tanks.

A look at the engine room. Also some of the early rock-work, we try to create a strong base by locking and glueing the base together so that we have a stable structure to add the corals to.

We try to make the sump area pretty to look at, but also more importantly it must be a pleasure to work on.

very cool, may i ask why all the conversion to john guest fittings on the reactors
 
thanks, why pump do you use and mod to fit the 6mm pipe

more reactors due to pressure, or due to more space having not used 20mm tubing
