I wanna know the secret to getting a tank acro ready in 3 months!!!

Peter Steinberg · Mar 17, 2018

No secret, I don’t think, but I use the water from my other systems, water change water, use some of the media from sump in old system as well as some of the gravel with living bacteria and spaghetti worms from old system in new system. I have my systems set up from GARF Bullet Proof Reef, with plenum, sand bed and based on natural system. My tanks cycle in less than 2 weeks usually spiking with Nitrites and Nitrates not going over 10 or 20 and dropping back down, I also use an algae scrubber now to keep Phosphates down in the long run. My 18o is less than 7 weeks old and has 4 fish, janitors, acans, chalices and acros already thriving in it.

This is what I am doing. Bought me a frag tank and plan to take water from the display and take down my 55 gallon tank I am not using anymore and put everything into it. Here is the frag tank I just picked up yesterday so I can be ready for the June sale.

It's a beast at 60x24x10.

Peter Steinberg · Mar 17, 2018

I knew I had a lot and was tracking to not duplicate even though I did a few but didn’t know it was that many, I was tracking what I had and what I wanted not thinking I was over 100! It wasn’t what I was tracking numbers wise.

I build my own sumps, on the large systems I bought a 75 Gallon for the sump, plexiglass I get from a local shop, buy scraps for really cheap. My media has been the ceramic balls in the past and layered materials with top layer being the changeable media, white and blue combined (if you want specifics I can look it up just PM me. I have been trying the new sport with the ceramic as it claims it has more capacity. My 80 Gallon frag is Deep Blue predrilled 80. When I break it down next I am going to lower the rack, by 3-4 in, too high for the lights. This sump is a Murdoch but I picked it up used and not completely happy with it. I use filter socks and get a 4” to 3” PVC adaptor for about $4 to set the sock in.

Lights are hybrid but light bracket is too close and have way turned down, aquatic life T5 hybrid and Hydra 26’s running only 20% at peak. I use the same T5 bulbs I believe as the big guys Actinic and Blue + ATI

For the frag if building your own sump a 40 Gallon breeder for $1 a Gallon would be sufficient.

I need to drill mine since it doesn’t have holes for a sump/return. It is the advanced acrylics all-in-one setup but I want to increase the water volume by at least another 40 gallons. Any ideas on drilling?

180 Gallon at 7 weeks old

My 240 is not drilled and I am going to use overflows that I still have from the past and a 75 Gallon sump I am building and installing this weekend. I cut at the top but don’t feel comfortable with drilling unless you have acrylic end pieces with acrylic glue to glue them in for an overflow to drill.

Peter Steinberg · Mar 17, 2018

The eshopps with the aqualifter pump to prevent air stopping it, one on each end, I have 1 used and 1 nib. Not comfortable with 240 gallons ending up on the carpet!
