Ok guys pix as promised, all the livestock just went in today. That was not really a fun job. My poor fingers are all bristled

cheeks69 · 05-27-2004, 08:38 PM

Wow Tom !!! Very impressive setup

Definitely not going to have lack of flow in that tank. Are you going any higher with the rockwork ?

big t · 05-27-2004, 08:43 PM

Thanks Cheeks. I have 50 lbs of Pukani lr out in a tub that is curing up and should be ready to go in in a week or 2. So Yes I will be going higher

nice! looks like you have plenty of water flow and i see you're without a substrate too!

cheeks69 · 05-27-2004, 09:00 PM

You must be taking plumbing lessons from Mike AKA Mojoreef

Woodstock, I definately have a little flow in there to the tune of 4000 gph+

I think that should be enough lol

Yes Cheeks I have taken a lesson or 2 from Mike. I am lucky enought to know him in person, he is a great guy

Looks like everything is open and happy, very nice job!

i love the new set up..... looks like it is off to a great start

big t · 07-05-2004, 11:21 PM

Ok today I decided to get the rest of the rocks in, so my friend Jeff came over to help out. It went pretty smoothly, and I wore rubber gloves so I didn't get brissled

Love the BB Tom!

Very nice! Well done! Impressively constructed.

Well a update is long overdue! I moved in June 05 and had a pretty big tank crash, but things are on the up and up these days. After the move I decided that a basement should have reef stuff all over it, so I built a 75g sump large enough to run another tank. The sump has drains built in so that I can just open the drains for a couple mins, have a completely empty sump and do a large water change. I am planning on putting some marks on there for smaller water changes. Then just fill it back up w/ fresh ASW and turn it all back on. It should take less then 10 mins to do a 60g WC. After that was done I went to work on a frag system, I figured that it would make a cool addition to the basement and would just make life easier. The frag tank dimensions are 72x30x10H. I currently have 2 250w Radiums over it right now, and some vho's for the rest. I really don't like how pink the vho's are so I may get some t5's instead. Anyway here are a few pix

Wow... Great job BigT.

Super nice sump, frag tank and plumbing! I like the idea of easy water changes...that's worth a LOT. I also like the tile under the frag tank.

big t · 11-01-2005, 06:03 PM

Well here are some tank shots I just took, hope you like them.
