[Nickel]

[Gouldian]

Nice tank Nickel, do you have any pix of the sump???

[ReDDeviLs]

wonderful tank,if only i see this before i got my new tank.. upz for u.. master piece.

[Nickel]

That's all for now folks.

PM me if you need further info.

The specimen tank is connected to the return pump from sump, hence the water is circulating, though at slower speed and is meant for my seahorses. Intending to keep angels, batfish and other non-reefsafe LS. Chilled water is supplied from a 0.5HP chiller to both main and speciment tanks and keeping them around 26-27 degrees !!

There are lot's of PM asking for optional items. I will post again once the tank is sold and the buyer do not need them or has budget constriants for now. I prefer to let the buyer first right to buy the optional items as I would like to see the tank still in operations as I had designed it. Hope all will understand. Apologies if I delay in my response for request for optional items.

For now, I just want to sell the tank first and to concentrate getting a job asap to feed my family.

yeah hope u can come back to this hobby again....

Life is like this there are ups and downs... but we do better everytime

OK. With hot requests to see the sump, here is the pic of 1 of them with a 2014 skimmer (notice the foam !!). The other is identical on the other side of cabinet. Both sumps covered by cabinet doors as can be seen in main tank pic. Note the thick chennai wood structures ?? Parts of it hiddened by the side panel.

I have designed for 2 identical sumps, effectively each sump supports 2.5ft of the main tank only. Each sump have compartments for wool filters, return compartment and a skimmer/chiller pump area. For equipment outside sump, I house them inside the side cabinet shown on the tank pic (cabinet not included in sales. It is part of my furniture design, aka, belong to Home Affairs Minister !!)

Water change is via the sumps which is about 10-15% of total volume. Easy.

I don't want to go into detailed designed approach why the sumps are such and the flexibility of the 2 sumps working together as it will be too lengthy here.

So.....here it is :

More pics.....from right side of tank.

[Nickel]

That's all for now. too many pic until eye blur liow.

The tank is just a completed item based upon a lots of my thoughts and past experienced gained from my previous marine tank and put into the design to make it flexible and cost effective. Have to see for yourself the corals/LS health to determine if design is working or not.

Too much thoughts to describe here. I had not add any corals since 6 months back when my hectic travelling schedule put the hobby into a holding period.

cheers.
