Re: DrHank's Tank's

That's awesome! I was reading that thread earlier where you were debating taking... I think it was a sebae?

Now it's a green BTA, right? Is it bleached? The pic looks white.

Re: DrHank's Tank's

Yes it's a GBTA, just beginning to develop some color. I passed on the Sebae. This guy is very small.

Re: DrHank's Tank's

Well, I finally got the big tank back and finished reinforcing the crossbraces.



I don't think that they will seperate again. I also had the tank drilled for internal overflows. Here is how they look.



I had four holes drilled and will be using three bulkheads for overflow and the fourth for a tank return. If I decide I want a bigger pump later, I'll use all four for overflow and set up a manifold return.

Hopefully by the time the weekend is over the big tank will be up and running again.

Re: DrHank's Tank's

It's finally back up

No more single stand pipe for the drain.

This is the left side where the stand pipe used to be.

Now you can see the return and one of the three overflows.

This is the center section.

All three overflows at the top. Sorry forgot to remove the nori clip.

And finally the right end.

Complete with a Korallia pump #3.

I don't know who is happier, me, my wife, or the critters. I think that we are all glad to see this project completed. Now I get to move on to my winter project (the 155 gallon bowfront). I can hardly wait to get started. Now we each get a tank. Somehow, I think that I'll be the one who gets to maintain both of them. Should be a lot of fun though.

Re: DrHank's Tank's

Looking really good Doc. I like your tank, especial the mix of soft and sps/lps corals.

Re: DrHank's Tank's

Thanks Heinz. The carbon manufacturers love to see it too. I run carbon 24/7 to try to keep everyone happy.

Re: DrHank's Tank's

Thanks Melanie. I decided to leave the center open so that if I ever needed to isolate a fish a little eggcrate would be all I need.

Re: DrHank's Tank's

That looks awesome!! I'm glad you got rid of that pipe thing, I remember you not liking it. Looks like the foxface is doing well, he got himself in two of the tank shots. And is that a frogspawn or a hammer in the pic of the left side?

You doesn't use ozone Doc? That has resembled effect, is however clearly more inexpensive in the long term.

Re: DrHank's Tank's

Thanks Kathy. Since it had to get torn down and go to the glass shop, I had them drill 4 holes for bulkheads. I used 3 for overflow and eliminated the large standpipe. I agree, it looks much better.

Heinz, no, I've never used ozone. I did use UV for a time when I had a nuisance algae and cyano problem. Now I just skimm like mad and use carbon. Plus I do routine water changes and don't feed too much.
