200g Reef

[KarL]

Took about a 6 month break but back at it again. Just set this up a few weeks ago.

Advanced acrylics 200 gallon tank. 65"L x 32"W x 22"H
Advanced acrylics sump w/ ATO container
Custom stand w/ light hanger. Got the stand from another member a few months back. Stand is huge. Had to remove the front door to fit in the house with only 1/2" clearance

Mainly using dry BRS pukani and shelf rock for aquascaping.

Got a similar sump

Looks amazing Karl!! I absolutely love that stand.. Beautiful! Rock looks cool, nice work on the structure.. I've gotta start collecting more rock for the 6' tank now. Maybe I'll get dry and try out my building skills
Congrats!

What did you use to attach your rocks together?

And wow that stand is killer!

 

[pgr11]

That looks great. Beautiful tank and stand. The rock is really nice too

Thanks everyone.

Here's a couple of pics of the sump. Have a Reef Octopus skimmer, UV sterilizer, heater, and return pump for now. Still need to set up the ATO tunze osmolater and controller.

Wow, pretty clean looking. Scape looks nice too, looks a lot smaller than I know it actually is. Can't wait to see a FTS wet.

Modified the Jebao pump clamps so I can attach them to seasweeps. Going with (2) Jebao rw8's and either a rw15 or rw20.

I dare you to put gyre 130/150s on the seaswirls!

I only put tunze on seaswirls becuase they are the most reliable pumps. I would hate to redo this mod every 6months

 

[KarL]

^^^

Yeah that would suck if pumps end up being bad. But I only modified the clamps for the pumps

 

[bustayanky]

I was thinking about doing something similar with my seaswirls. But still use the regular sea swirls as a closed loop with an extension to add a power head like you.

 

[KarL]

I've converted normal sea swirls into sea sweeps before. Just remove the return elbow and I would find a large reducing coupler. Can't remember the size 3/4" x 1.5" some thing like that. Would get online. Then mount the magnet inside the coupler
