My New Display Tank

[ciaolong]

LADIES AND GENTLES

ITS FINALLY HERE ... took its time

i been waiting since my 18th lol (28th of sept)

Anyway here is the plan

its a 4'x2'x2' with a 2' 1/2 sump

my dad redid the stand so it can hold the new tank

anyway this tank will be a zeovit system after reading the zeovit guide (30 times recommended by weileong) i think am ready to try it

mostly it be sps but i will have a few sps and maybe some rare yumas or rics if i can get them in aus

atm it be lighted by a 400w SE. on a HPS i trying to decide which blub still (blv or xm or radium)

Skimmer and Calc reactor will be made by RM.

still waiting for the skimmer to arrive (*poke joe* make the skimmer come faster)

i decide to do a stairs scape to allow max sps and all the fish will be nano fish like gobies and stuff and only maybe one center fish (a tang or something)

here a few pics of the setup

Zeovit (my DIY reactor is being made atm)

The Lighting i am using on my holding tank but i ordering another for my display tank

My first problem i found was my overflow hole's bulkhead is not going to fit ><

as u can see the wall of the stand is to close to the hole so we have to get an extender for the bulk head

me with green hair (did this for my 18th) i was ordering stock for my business and my display tank and my business partner decide to take a picture while i was not looking

tomorrow its off to bunning to buy all the fittings then i do a FW test for leaks

if anyone has any ideas or comments please do tell cause i know my plumbing wont be good thats why i getting my dad to help me with plumbing

(weir hole = 60mm the other 2 holes are 40mm)

thanks

i be coming to singapore in nov 3 - 23 sooo i cant wait

also forgot to add i be paint the back glass with dark blue or something ... or if i cant be bothered painting i get some black sheet as a wallpaper

[hamannbmw]

u may need to add 4 beams to support the tank

[ciaolong]

i told my dad that but he tells me it will hold he been doing tanks for longer than me ... so i trust me but i made him promise if it does break he buy me a bigger tank so i dont mind

[ciaolong]

i am also thinking to add 2 small aryclic tanks on top of my sump for seahorses since i just love them and i dont think they will do well in the sps tank ><

Seahorse require very cool temperature.. between 22-23 degrees if i am not wrong.
