eMac's 150

[Emac909]

Here we go.
The tank is 48"X24"X31"deep, recessed euro brace center overflow
The stand is just a frame right now but will try to skin it here before winter, it stands some where about 34" tall.
The sump is 36"X16"X15"deep. With just 3 cambers bubble trap, skimmer, and return pump area. I would like to add a small fuge later but not sold on it yet.
Lighting it with 3 ethereal 130s.
For pumps I currently have one gyre150 running on alternating gyre mode at 10% and one wp25 on wave1. Plus the return pump.
The skimmer is the YCA DC-30.
Will be running uv but haven't figured where I want to put it yet.

Yea this was my O s*** tank that's been in the garage for years.
Not yet. Yep wife is super happy I've got 2 large tanks in the house right now. One in the dinning room the other in the living room.

Idk about the height but the 31" deep is pretty sweet.

Opps sorry Eric, thought I read it as 31 inches tall. And it looks tall in the photo! But depth even better

Very nice! The aqua scape reminds me of how Mike had it.

Ok so I've done a few things to the tank.
One had been trying to fight the hair algae issue. I've been dosing nopox and even added gfo. Also got a seahare, it's slowly going away.
Second I made a floating canopy for the ethereal lights.

Also redid the sump a bit and added a better manifold for all my valves

I also added a little fuge box with a little 8 watt led bulb.
Put up a doser to dose nopox

Haven't done much to the skimmer but here it is.

Nice setup eric!

 

[Emac909]

The tanks coming along hair algae starting to go away slowly but the rock is looking a whole lot better
Snapped a few pics with my phone the other day but I still need to find the best spectrum to take picks under with the ethereals. I haven't messed with them much sense setting them up.

Looks good!

 

[Emac909]

Going to mess around with the spectrum to see how the corals react. I was running the ethereals at 100% on every spec.

Still got hair algae. But to be honest I literally look at the tank maybe 10 minutes a week. I cleaned the glass after a month just to take this pic.

Knew you couldn't stay away too long

I never quit. I just got rid of most everything. I wanted to quit but wife wouldn't let me get rid of her purple tang. So I set up Mikes old 155 and put like 5 fish and a few corals I had left.
