67g Tank Build!

[FOSELONE]

i just set up my new lil 60 gallon too...just wondering if you figured out which powerheads youll be going with ???

 

[Reefer08]

Foselone, I dont know which powerheads Ill be going with. I was thinking of starting out with 1 Vortech MP40 and then adding another in a few months. But I really don't like the look of the dry side of the Vortech. Having 2 on a tank really looks like the tank is wearing ear muffs or old school headphones lol.

Here are some new pics of my tank. Don't mind the mess in my room, its been a huge mess with me having to break down the current tank and work on the new one.

Only with Actincs on!

No Flash:

Hayward Bulkhead from Bulkreefsupply, This thing is a monster for only being 1 inch.

very nice set up!! Time to get it stocked

Thanks! Im saving my money for equipment so stocking corals is last on my mind. Im getting a Geo 618 Calcium Reactor soon. Im so stoked on getting it. No more dosing 2 part!!! I hated 2 part, constantly testing alkalinity, worring about not being able to take 2 day vacation from my tank without things dying.

The tank has been running for 4 days now and everything is going great. I have absolutely no algae on the glass, im very surprised. I haven't cleaned the glass once and I don't even need too. I think it might be due to the vodka ive been dosing? Ive been doing 1ml per day for the first week.

already feeding the tank vodka, Nice:idea:

 

[Reefer08]

Everything is doing great! The watermelon is super happy in this new tank.

new bgm!! =p

i got a couple more but its a SECRET!!!

 

[StaLker]

wow....impressive!!!

Why the 3 little glass walls? What purpose do they serve? That looks like a Mo-Fo skimmer.

 

[Reefer08]

They are supposed to prevent any microbubbles from entering the main display tank. They are working great also, no microbubbles in the display tank.

i want some frags??!?! lmk when your ready to sell!!!:adore:

 

[Reefer08]

Do you guys think I should run phosphate media even though im dosing vodka + aminos? I read its not necessary. Im currently only running carbon from bulk reef supply fine grain in my reactor.

Paul what do you think?

 

[StaLker]

im wondering also paul give us some advice!! lol...... maybe tony wanna chime in?? =)

 

[Aquafrags]

very nice, those two chalices are sweet, I would not run both.

 

[Tom619]

how did you paint the stand? it looks so sleek without any visible brush strokes, etc.

cant wait to see the FTS!

 

[Aquafrags]

you are also going to have to feed more running vodka, I learned this the hard way trying to keep chalices and using vodka. the skimmer with vodka dosing, pulls stuff like crazy, not a whole lot of food left for the corals
