Zach's 110 gallon

Shot of the euro bracing



3x 250 LumenMax Elites. These will hang on eye hooks inside the canopy.

 

Now were talking Zach. Looks very nice. The stand is awesome with all the doors. I know you are putting some thought into this. This tank will be awesome.... I see a lot of SPS in your future.

 

Thanks I'm going slow on this one. I threw my 75 together without really planning too much, made many mistakes, and learned from them.

The sump is 36" long, and will have a 14" skimmer section @ 10 inches deep, followed by a bubble trap, then overflowing into the return area. 12" refugium @ 12" deep, flowing into the center return area. Return section will have a probe holder and ATO.

Still working out where I'm going to locate my 3 ballasts, Apex and EnergyBars, and mp40 wave drivers..

 

Looks like a quality tank to me.

I really like those overflows. Stand is well built to with all the doors. ease of access for equipment.

Pretty Sweet.

 

Thanks man

The Hofers are totally silent. You can barely even hear any water noise.

Before the sump goes in the stand, I'm putting in some soundproofing foam on the stand and a rubber mat under the sump.

Returns will be joined by a T, partially hard plumbed with a valve for each to control flow. All plumbing is 1" PVC to prevent pressure buildup until the end where I have a 1" to 3/4" reducing elbow to attach the loc-line to.

The tank itself will sit on an insulation pad to ensure it is level and to account for any imperfections in the wood to relieve pressure (just in case).

Next orders will be a PM1 module for the Apex so I can add a second pH probe for a calcium reactor, 2 EcoSmart Wave drivers for the MP40's, and I'm on the lookout for a good calcium reactor. I'm thinking a Geo 612.

 

looking great ZachB
that side door in the stand is a great benefit

the real fun starts now

Thanks! I can't wait to get water in here. I hope to be doing the freshwater test later this week.

 

Just got caught up on this thread...Smokin build man..that stand is kick A&&..K+ to ya..

 

Thanks

 

Got the sump back from getting drilled today. Also got the underside of the returns plumbed and dry fitted.

A local reefer had a misfortune with his RODI unit last night and flooded his entire apartment and is getting out of the hobby Feel bad for him but I picked up some absolutely choice pieces of Marco rock (like 50 pounds for $30) which I'm bleaching, and also picked up a gorgeous prism favia and tabling acro which are in my co-workers nano-cube at work.

I finally got a ground probe, and I also got the rest of my fans in - finishing off the canopy this weekend - hope to be doing a freshwater test Saturday and moving everything into place Sunday!
