Rainmaker's 2 Feet Tank

Recommended Posts

Hi everyone,

This is my second 2 feet tank after shifting to my new place.

My first tank was a Rea Sea Max 130D.  I modified it almost 90% by add a DIY overflow box to add a sump at the bottom.  Changed everything except for the glass tank.  After running that tank for 2 years, I have experimented with DIY algae scrubbers, refugiums, carbon, bio pellet reactors, phosphate reactors, Llanthanum Chloride (Goodbye PO4), carbon dosing, etc.

For my new tank, I have custom made a tank with the following features:

1. Herbie Overflow that makes it dead silent

2. Dedicated cooling pump to chiller

3. Retained the refugium

4. Switched from filter socks back to filter floss for ease of maintenance

5. Automatic dosing of Red Sea Nopox to replace bio pellet reactors and phosphate reactors

6. Kept the activated carbon in a bag

7. Bleached all rock to remove pests
