Started up a NEW Tank!!!!

Michael_Lambert · 03-17-2004, 09:48 PM

Man oh Man ..

Do i have issues! .. So the 100 Gallon is running great now.. acually just upgraded the lighting to 250 watt Halides.. so now i have this 175 watt and my VHO actinics sitting around.. And then aquired a new ( to me ) 90 Gallon tank so decided to drill her out and get her going.. just as a Sofie tank ( Mushrooms and Zoos ) and stock her up nicely with fish.. Mostly a fish only tank .. and leave my 100 gallon as a reef tank!

So here is where i am sooo Far!!!

__________________________________________

the Stand and canopy!

My sump..

My Tank.. Drilled and just installed the overflow Box.. ( 1.5 inche drain.. and 3/4 inch return)

Canopy with custom Lighting unit installed!! ( VHO , Actinic white and AquaSun)

And the final shot.. till tomorrow when the Silicone dries.. So i can do some water testing.. to make sure the overflow does not leak!

Hope you all Like it sooo far!

Thanks
Michael.

Micheal:

Where did you get the stand and canopy? I'm looking into upgrading and/or having one built for me sometime hopefully soon.

BTW, great looking setup you have there!

Michael_Lambert · 03-18-2004, 10:14 AM

I grabbed it off a guy on Aquariumpros.ca.. he was shutting down his tank..

Now i know Arron over at Senic sells the same setup for i think it was $900.

Sweet! I'm trying to convince my better half that we need a tank upgrade, and possibly keep the old one as well! Two reef tanks, I'm starting to drool just thinking about it...
