First post in a long long time here. Just tore down my long-lived 250 gallon DD SPS tank. All inhabitants have been living in a 300 gallon Rubbermaid stock tank in my dining room. My wife is a trooper, and I am grateful!
Back in January, I ordered a custom rimless tank from Crystal Dynamic Aquariums, 80” x 30” x 24”. 3/4” starphire glass. Custom open metal stand from CDA as well.
Stats:
Display: 250 Gallon Rimless
Sump: Synergy Reef TS-60 (highly customized)
Fuge: 80 Gallon Rimless Display
Frag: (2) 35 Gallon Rimless Display
Display Lighting: Custom (by me) T5/Reefbrite Strip Fixture, with (4) Kessil A500X. Will document all pieces in a later thread. This is a monster! Fully incorporated and controllable. Weighs 48 pounds!
Fuge Lighting: (2) Kessil A360X
Frag Lighting: (3) Radion Gen5 XR15 for tank 1. 400w Radium with Reefbrite for tank 2.
Filtration: Filter Sock Mechanical, CerMedia blocks, Vertex 250 with Red Dragon pump.
Flow: (2) MP60QD, (2) MP40QD, Closed Loop powered by Red Dragon 230 with Motions Ocean diverter. Custom bracket made by NEAT AQUATICS. More on this later. Return pumps powered by (2) Red Dragon Speedy 3.
All rock is dry, and has been curing in separate container since January.
All accessory containers by Synergy and Royal Exclusiv.
Auto Water Change System, UV Sterilizer, and 6-port Dosing. Ozone might be incorporated.
Elements kept in check by custom Deltec CalRx controlled by CarbonDoser. Kalk will be dosed if required.
All plumbing will be display quality, and organized in my OCD fashion. Fully Controlled by Apex.
Pics will come after tank is setup. Progress is roughly 60% currently. Tiling this weekend, and hopefully moving stand into place to finish plumbing before moving the 700 pound display tank inside!
Stay tuned.
