quas111's beast tank 2013

[Quas111]

Hi guys, the 4ftx2.5fx2ft is arriving later today within the next hour! Ill make sure its image intensive so watch out

I plan to make it a mix reef tank, with no coral focus in mind. Probably keeping softies, lps, sps, and maybe even nps, and not to forget fishes too!

the triton sump has arrived. Im not sure if the tank would fit throught the door though :/

[Quas111]

YIPPEE! The cabinet fit through the door!

[Quas111]

this is the side fts which Justin's (from iwarna) did. (THANKS )

Im gonna edit it to my preference amd maybe rescape, and take more photos of it when the water is less cloudy

Camping here for updates. Planning for this tank size as well.

Sorry for slow updates! I was very busy cleaning up the mess. More photos: this is the sump window. Theres already some macro algae given by iwarna

the vertex skimmer. It has been barely 6 hours and the skimmer is already skimming out lots of skimate. Its impressive. I guess thats what you can expect with a german skimmer

This is the front sump shot. The cabinet has doors on the front and the back so theres also gonna be a back tank shot. Im sure you can see I am using a 1/4 hailea chiller. I know its pushing the limit for the chiller but I guess its ok for now

thats the back sump shot. Theres a fluid reactor running rowaphos and a jebao 9000 pump leading to the main tank, and a smaller pump(idk what brans) leading to the fluid reactor

this is the front tank shot. I havent rescaped yet

thats the back tank shot.

That will be a real challenge keeping a mixed reef keeping a vast variety of corals happy. Happy reefing!!

Of course I am It took so long for the tank to be finalized and arrive

Thanks! I'll probably add more mangrove-type algae to the sump

haha thanks! I'll enjoy... the cycle time a lot......

Definitely! I like a challenge and I guess it will be a change from the usual focused tanks lol

err... I'm no sure of the pump I don't see the label but I think it was an ehiem pump

[Quas111]

I finished rescaping the tank to my preference. The water became cloudy again (sigh) so I'll take a photo tomorrow morning

[AquaReefer]

Looking forward to the rescale.

[Quas111]

Done! Its not so easy to see what I have done but I hope you get the idea....

Fts:

Bts:

Front close ups:

(The cave)

(The other side)

Back tank shot closeups:

(The back of the cave)

(Back of the hill thing)

I also found this nice little tubeworm who unfortunately wont survive cycling

[kenyee]

Nice scaping.. many caves n holes for fishes to hide n swim thru.. the concept of 2 islands is wonderful..

[MrSalty]

Nice scaping ....your skimmer looks powerful

Always so exciting to have a new tank.. congrats bro

[AquaReefer]

I like the scaping, very natural.

The cave is nicely done but there will be a dead zone inside. Right side island i notice some rocks are rather near to the glass. That might make cleaning difficult. Just my personal view

actually I did consider the dead zone in the cave, so I made it such that the water being sucked into the lower chamber. I put sinking food in that area to see if it will trap detritus and it didn't, so im not sure it will still be a problem...

And the area where the rocks are near the wall is accessible by an algae scraper so im fine with cleaning it.

I haven't gotten my wave maker yet if you haven't noticed, so im unsure if the water dynamics would change later. Thanks for the advice though!
