Kelli's 95 gallon

dobejazz · 11-04-2005, 09:36 AM

The new set up is a 95g corner pent from Clarity Plus
we have a 45g sump/fuge in the basement below the tank
The filtration will be an ecosystems style fuge set up
right now I just have 65# of "partially cured" figi live rock
The tank will mainly be a softie tank
within the next week or 2 I sould have the lights and the fuge set up
Wish me luck !!

Good to see a softy tank, with some many people going SPS dominant or rare LPS (acans etc.).
Wish we had basments on the houses around here. Must make the setup options very nice.

I really like the basement option ! Our house is small and doing a waterchange on the nano cube involved moving furniture when it was in that corner. This will be soo much easier.

Great job! I too like the sump in the basement... tons of room!!!

mps9506 · 11-04-2005, 02:58 PM

One safety note.

Mount the power strip on the wall above the level of the sump to keep water off of it.
It looks neater also

Back to the regularly scheduled program...

Looks like a very nice setup, keep the photos flowing.....

dobejazz · 11-04-2005, 05:40 PM

the powerstrip will be mounted we actually need to do a little electrical work all of the outlets down stairs are switched

we also may be getting a bigger return pump right now we get an occasional little burp in the tank
Thanks Everyone for the compliments!

That is a very cool lookin tank, love the sump also !
How tall is the tank ? What are you going to use for lighting ? How tall is the canopy ?

dobejazz · 11-04-2005, 06:30 PM

the tank is 24" canopy 7" and the overall height is 58"
I'm not sure the specifics of the lights yet except they are PC's
I should have the lights next friday

Very nice set-up in deed! Post pics of your new stuff!

Oh, I am so jealous of your basement sump set up, that is very nice!
Check out Gina's electrical board it's nice and clean.

I'm happy to see you found a tank for your corner! It looks awesome!
What type of softies do you plan on?

P.S. Thanks for the complement on our Electrical board Kim!

not too sure yet the xenia from my nano will go in there eventually (it's out grown the nano) I'd like to try some of the leathers that grow too large for a nano also.

mps9506 · 11-10-2005, 11:03 PM

mmmkay, it's almost friday, I expect pics of lights asap tomorrow
