I hestiate to post this now. I can hear those pic hunting mods and forum addicts asking for pics already, once i get my digital cam back i will post, and soon, i promise
Ok i have finally set up my new tank. LikesFish i am sure you would be chuffed to see it. 4 sides viewing which is a risk as u see the open back of the sump, but that has my couch up close covering that. A little noisey gurgling in your ear as you watch tv, but that just means i got rid of the TV. Priorities after all! Also a few mods needed to the hood to stop light shinning back and down, but i'll get to that.
Its a 1800x600x650 buildt into stand of dark cherry oak. 680l tank volume with 50kg aragonite substrate, which i will add play sand of about 150kg to run a DSB in tank eventually.
I have about 60kg mix of Bio rock and LR (not sure of the type) with lots of soft (yes i tickled a few of them) things on it (i'll get to pics!) and a few blue mushrooms growing. I am working on the aquascaping and will post another thread for ideas, once i have a few pics.
Down stairs is far more fun.
First chamber I have about 20kg LR, second chamber i have a Deltec AP851 skimmer. Skimmer is a slight problem as i can only get the bubble collum half was up the neck or flooding the cup, but maybe that will change with a bio load in the tank?
I have a Elheim return pump (delightfully silent thing) and two Resun wave 1500 in the tank, a third to follow shortly.
Still waiting for my T5's and cant remeber the watts, but its 2 pairs 1 blue and one white.
As i am starting with FOWLR and then move into the sps/lps later i will upgrade lights when i need.
Now to get through the 94.7 cycle race and make use of my test kits
