My ultimate full sps "last tank" build thread

[khiann]

Secret project in progress. I have decided to play it big and not to frag the grown sps to smaller colony. This time, a 3x3x1.5, square tank, custom built, cemen block as cabinet at my outdoor.

This is a shallow tank, as i like to view sps from top, as well as easier for maintainance job

Equipments

1. 1x 400w 20k with lumenarc reflector, 2x250w 12k reeflux if not enough, 2x 3f T5HO ATI blue plus

2. 1x vortech mp40w on pulse, 2x resun 15000 with vortech impeller for bottom circulation

3. 2x return RIO 20HF connected to 8 hours UPS, 32HF to chiller

4. 1HP C1000 chiller with external controller and probe

5. my old and trusty beckett with MD55

6. 8 inch diameter, 32 inch tall CR.

7. decided to continue using the cheap redsea salt, low on ca and kh but i found good level of MG.

cycled the tank with some new rock, and all the stock and rock move in from my old 3x1.5x2 . So far, the only casualty is the lion fish which shredded to pieces by resun's vortech impeller. Strange that i have minimal color loss on sps.

most of the equipment still not in proper connection and placing and lots of work to be done.
