One year into the hobby - I'm hooked. Started out with an Aquapod 24 to get my feet wet. Learned lots by setting up that tank and soaking up the great information from this site and others - thanks to everyone that's helped me along the way.
Last week, I went with a buddy to pick up his new 90g Oceanic Tech Tank and while there we found out the tanks were 20% off. Next to his 90g was a nice 70g and since I had a 36" light (1 - 250w MH, 2 - 96w Actinics, 4 - moonlights - 442w) I made the plunge and now have a new build underway.
I'll document the progress here; and, I'm sure along the way I can will lean on the pro's for some advice. So far, this is what I have:
- 70g Oceanic Tech Tank
- Oceanic 20g Sump (used)
- Maple stand and canopy
- Aquatraders 442w (250w MH, 192w PCs)
- ASM G3 Skimmer
- (2) Oceanrunner 2500's (650gph)
- (1) Oceanrunner 3500 (900gph)
- Aqualogic Delta Star 1/4hp Chiller (used)
- Aqualogic Dual Stage Controller (used)
- SCWD wave maker
Those items listed as "used" were great deals I got off of Craigslist. The 20g Oceanic Sump will be replaced in favor of a custom sump built by SoCal Creations. The Aqualogic Chiller will be sold and replaced with a Prime Tower Chiller. Both were great deals I got off of Craigslist and now are being sacrificed to maximize space under my 36" stand.
I've got lots of ideas for this tank - keep peaking in to see the progress. Here's the tank and stand...
