Pennstatereefer's 55 Gal. Tank Build

Snow!!!

Ok so I was going to show some pics of my sump today, but I woke up to about 6 inches of the white stuff and that means clean up and sledding with the kids. For you all that don't see much of the white stuff, here are a few pics to look at.











Hope you enjoyed the pics!

 

Update 01-23-2012

I finally got a chance to snap off some pictures of my sump area that shows what is going on in there. So here we go.

This is the electrical center


This is the return pump section and a diy denitrater I made


Scimmer pump and a 100micron filterbag complete the drain compartment


Between the drain and return compartments I have a refugium area to grow cheato, draggons breath, and coral frags. I light this area with a 6500k daylight spotlight.






One last picture. This one was taken just for fun. It is a reflection of my tank in my TV. I just thought it was cool looking almost ghostly.


Thanks for looking, Rick

 

Looks good haven't checked in since you put up the 55.

 

Thanks dad, I need to take more pics. Dont get on much anymore. People just dont show much intrest anymore.

 

Thats not nessesarily true,I still check out your build treads when you update,even though I don't comment often,I think it's looking great so far and I just saved your sump pics as when I build mine,yours is set up just how I want to do mine as my stand is shorter than standard so a 20 long is what I got to go with due to height,when I get around to it (been saying that for about 2 years now,lol)

 

Just took a look. Love the snow image, we do not get a lot of that in S. AZ

Would like to see more image please!
