It had to happen, my 1.2M was just getting to damned crowded. So I took the 1.8M beast that Julian off SARK had in his study off his hands gratefully!

Tank Specs: 1800(l)x750(h)x600(w)

It has a metal stand and wooden cabinet build around it.

Sump: 1200x450x450

The tank has a central overflow that I am not that fond of, so have asked Adriaan from IM to come and rebuild this as a C2C overflow.

Ts4 skimmer (need to get an additional OTP2000 or the haliea equivalent - does anyone know what that is?)

Resun 15000l/hr wavemakers (in the process of being cleaned)

mnd congrats...i see you've got plenty of work to do, to get that tank looking like new again...keep us posted with the progress...
 
Yes mnd123 nice one going to keep you busy. I see that the sump has a lot of different compartments for a over and under flow, what are you planing on doing with that Leef it or take them out for a DSB???
 
Yoh! Thats enough pics - otherwise you see how much work I have to do :)

Busy indeed - the sump takes the TS4 on the left (which is half the sump already), and I will build a DSB and return on the right

Thanks chap - its in lovely condition, Jules kept it well - his new tank is a monster

PS hows the wife taken the news????:p

Lets just say that I had some SERIOUS convincing to do - good news is my brother is taking the 1.2M for a FOWLR for his kids - dead chuffed that I dont have to sell it

Thanks Clinton - yeah lots of work - but I guess I can hire that out - Adriaan will need to have a clean tank to rebuild the overflow

It is a good unit - but in my discussions with JacquesB I think I will need to supplement with some T5's

It currently has 2 x 20000K 250W MH and a 14000K 250W - and the 9W CFL - which it would seem is only for moonlights rather than any actinic effect
 
Yep - and I can already see it's gonna help me play join-the-dots toward a divorce :)

:lol::lol: dude im with you! im in the same boat as you man..will i was until i managed to wangle my out of it:p
 
Nice!!!!!
