| renaissance glorieuse; A reef chronicle
As many of you may know I have the acrylic reef tank, its a horribly problematic system. Well its time to do something about it. This thread will chronicle the tearing down, and re building of the reef.
Current stats;
48x 11x 13.5"t 31g DT, 34x 13x 10't dual fuge ( a 20g tank divided into two 17" parts ), and a 10g sump.
Flow is the Rio whatever model return pump, about 250GPH. It pumps water into the DT, it flows into the mantis tank ( one half of the fuge ) then back into the sump.
A 2x4 stand that I hate. There are no 90* angles, easy access, sound dampening, aesthetic appeal, structural integrity, level surfaces, or excess room.
Lightning is 4x 54w T5 HO with individual reflectors, there will be 6, when I get around to it.
Filtration consists of nothing. I have a Terminator 2 skimmer but I don't run it because of the noise in my bed room. |
