Blurp's 450L

Blurp · 10-12-2009, 01:58 PM

So, after 12 hours of hard working...everything is set now.

Reefmack · 10-12-2009, 02:41 PM

Great deal on the free, fully stocked 450L! I'm still waiting to see if the rest of the pictures show up. That is a monster clam - one of the largest I've seen in a tank other than a public aquarium! Is there a sump in the cabinet?

Blurp · 10-12-2009, 02:57 PM

A 200L sump with my brand new ATI BM250 skimmer (good machine this one and available here..), but no cabinet yet, just a table, I've asked my father to help me build some door system to reduce noise and marine odour

Nice tank blurp! That angel is thinking, "yummy, daddy bought me a clam!"

Blurp · 10-12-2009, 06:48 PM

Merci Jeff

it's a derassa tridacna.

Frankie, the angel has spent 4 whole years with the clam and didn't touch it, hope it won't develop a taste for it now, hope it, hope it, hope...

The first pic was one of the last to come through - now I can see the 200L sump, skimmer, etc. Awesome tank!

Dweezil · 10-12-2009, 07:34 PM

Very beautiful Dani. You did great!

Blurp · 10-13-2009, 04:36 AM

Thanks Tammy, I had the unvaluable help from my LFS, who, for very few euros/bucks, spent the whole sunday (monday was the spanish celebration of October 12 1492, "discovery" of the New World) moving buckets, LS and tanks, really unexpensive and hard work. I also gave the pals some little frags, which otherwise I should have disposed of, and a nice meal.

I might rearrange something in time, because the tank looks overcrowded and some corals are too close to each other...but after resting a while

framerguy · 10-13-2009, 07:58 AM

Very nice set up. Congratulations!!
