Pastey's 200DD--SPS v. 3.0

Thanks Cheryl! The ONE good thing about the short stand is that viewing from the couch is/will be perfect.

The fiancée wants to put some plants next to the tank. I think 2 shallow rimless cubes on either side with mangroves plumbed into the sump is the same as "some plants". Amirite?

 

Yes. That would look amazing ;D

 

You could not be more right. :thumb_up:

I need to get myself some mangroves again, love them.

 

Just realized that I never updated with a picture after the sand settled. Here it is as it sits now. Just try to imagine a 3rd rock in line with the other 2 of similar style



I'm going to order either another MP40 or a Reefbreeder 48 next week. I need both so they're each equally important.

Stay tuned as we wait out the cycle!

 

Knocked out a couple little projects this weekend.

Got the Tunze 3155 installed and operating. Looking forward to not having to top off twice a day (on that tank at least).

Drilled/plumbed the saltwater mixing barrel so I can dump salt in the top via funnel.

Drilled/modified one of the caps the accept the heater but retain the function of a cap to limit evaporation.

Installed in-line TDS meter.

Cleaned up the saltwater mixing station in general.

 

Do you think with a reefbreeder 48 you'll have enough spread front to back?

 

No, I don't expect one to cover the whole tank, especially with 90 degree optics ill use because of the taller tank and my relatively short rock work.

 

maybe three photon 16s turned sideways

 

Or 2 48s
