Revived my 65g...Finally

Feeding Time - YouTube

 

Weird. Thanks. Is there something wrong with the embed feature or am I spastic?

 

I was using a 15g standard tank with acrylic baffles siliconed in. The problem was that I did not have room in the overflow section for a proper filter sock holder and my skimmer. So, I had a local plastics guy make me a sump to my specifications. It is 24x14.5x12. I also went with 4 baffles for a bubble trap...I hate microbubbles and have battled them in the past. I am real happy with how it turned out. Definitely not microbubbles in the DT now.

 

wow, quite the impressive sump!

 

Picked these guys up today. Randalls Goby and Pistol Shrimp. They are already busy building their home.

 

very cool purchase!

 

Thanks! I also bought my first piece of SPS this week. After having reef tanks off and on for 5 years, I finally made the plunge. The good ol' Green Slimer...

 

I got my new light yesterday. A Lumentek Pro 240 from Reef Radiance. I love it so far. You can program each of the 3 channels intensity in 10 minute increments. I had some trouble getting my camera's white balance right so the pictures are a little bluer than in person. I also just bought a full Apex controller that should be here next week.

 

Lights look great and looks like you got a nice specimen of the slimer

 

Hazzah!
