In Wall 250 Gallon Build

Excellent job and a very good smooth transition from the 120 to the 250. I love those deep dimension tanks.

 

Been awhile since I have updated. My tank is doing great. I will post some more pictures soon. Everything has settled in and things are really taking off from a growth perspective. Only real system issue is with some dead spots on the right side of the tank. I had been hoping to not have to buy another mp40 and use my return pumps to try and resolve...but was not working so ordered a second mp40 yesterday. I kind of knew I was going to have to do that since day 1, but I was hoping anyway......also going to add some more sps to my reef in the near future. Any suggestions on easy (easier anyway) sps corals would be appreciated.

 

As promised, here are some updated pictures. Unfortunately these don't do a great job of showing the depth (front to back of the tank), which is one of the coolest parts of a deep dimension tank...but I blame my photographic skills for that:

Looking great APC! Keep up the good work!

More forgiving SPS is monti digis and monti caps among others. Birdsnests seem hardier but some may disagree. Judging by the LPSs in your tank tho, I think the tank is ready for SPSs

Congrats on the second MP40 too! You won't regret it!!

 

Well, the tank has been up now for about a year. Here is a video of how things are looking. Overall, I have had pretty good luck. I did have that issue about 2 months ago where I lost a bunch of snails and a nice SPS colony - but things have since stabilized. I plan to add some more SPS and LPS corals here over the christmas break

tanks looks great! Love all your zoas. It's neat that you have the maroon and an occy clown in there together - the beauty of having a large tank

 

Thanks! A definate benefit to the size of the tank is that the fish all get along really well. the front to back depth of the tank is cool for observing the fish as well - they tend to swim very naturally (all around) as opposed to side to side. I really enjoy that aspect of the tank.
