193 gallon plywood build thread

My tank has a little cyano problem ATM.

I know I need a little more flow, but I guess this is the calling card for a couple MJ mods with sure grip 100 magnets.

 

i got one of the Algae Free SureFlow from MD a few weeks ago. it's like the best thing ever. i've got the little prop running on a 1200 blasting the front of my glass. turbulent would be an understatement...

 

I am beating the cyano. I think it was simply a new tank issue, and that is all. I did add more flow, as a temporary solution, but where the cyano is forming, it is in odd spots. Like inert things such as my frag rack. Odd, but it looks like I am winning, with no red slime remover either.

 

I added the mj mod to my 1200. that thing is crazy...

My cyano seemed to get worse though. Its so bad that im not sure if its cyano or dino. I need help if you dont mind checkin out my thread

There are good pics for IDing purposes on page 2...

good to hear its possible to win!

 

So i just looked through the last 38 pages of this build and all i can say is wow. great job everything looks great. i'm going to have to talk to you for the dos and don'ts when i get around to building mine... great job and by the way what would you say the over all cost was for just the tank and stand?

 

Thanks for the compliments.

I see you are in WI, so you can probably actually see the tank in person some time.

tank was right around 400 dollars total, and the stand was well under 100 dollars.

I definitely learned quite a bit by making this tank, but I researched the heck out of woody tanks before I ever started attempting to build mine.

I will gladly give you any advice/ pointers regarding the woody tank build.

 

its kinda funny i didn't even look where you lived i'm from fdl and i have a girlfriend that lives in fredonia. small world

 

Doc fragenstein on 3reef lives in Fredonia as well.

Fredonia is only like 15 minutes from my house.

 

thats cool cause i'm just getting into saltwater, fresh water was just getting a little boring. its nice to know theres other people in the area that also keep saltwater tanks.

 

Sounds like you have two of the best at your disposal for help.
