On the weekend my new tank finally arrived! I splurged and even bought the overly priced stand (it matched it very nicely)
http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/06/17/eff687a45db872de81492ee67ff75ca2.jpg

The stand was pretty easy to build and seems nice and solid.
The tank is beautiful with thicker high clarity glass. Only issue with a small leak at the bottom of one of the sump baffles... Not really enough to worry about since 99% will still flow over the top. Time to water test and make sure all is well

I wanted to make this build nice and clean so I decided to use a switchable power bar to control everything. Only thing was its a bit to long and was a b**** to cut!

However determination paid off

Next was a face board to mount the controllers and hide the ups and plugs

Not to bad for a day's work.
Day 2... Time to transfer

I probably should have started earlier.. However 9pm seemed like an excellent time to start... The only issue was I want happy with the rocks and changed it about 80 times and was up until 2am.
http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/06/17/d9fafa3070f801481e1f7fda707de99a.jpg

But it finally paid off. I used some putty on the rock then headed to bed

http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/06/17/d9915206af4f8d2ac6cd86ee78736ab3.jpg

The next day I added the sand and a bunch of the corals. The fish were moved to a bucket as they weren't fairing to well in he sand storm

After a night of running 100% polyester batting in the overflow the water has finally cleaned up ish

And my cabinet has never looked so good.
Next steps will be busing a doser stand and some fancy dosing/ATO containers

Looks great! I love these tanks.

[jhj0112]

I can't believe I missed this.. what happened to your nuvo 24??

Hopefully, it was not bad.. On the other hand, the new tank looks very nice! As you did on planted tank and FW shrimp tanks, it is very well organized.

[WarDog]

Yup... love it! Nice work!

[Cameron]

What controller system are you using? And dosing pumps etc?

[shiftline]

Sadly the Nuvo 24 cracked... This is my warranty replacement (minus the overly priced stand..I splurged for that!)

Dosing pumps are jaebo which I still have to setup. I bought a bottle of purple up which I think is hair calcium for now. Going to build an acrylic doing container for calcium alkalinity magnesium and ATO water
Temp controller is a little redundant as my thermonior is a cobalt neothem which is also digital

will be following along as i build my fusion 30l. here is a picture of my progress with custom steel stand powdercoated. still has protective wrap on bottom so ignore that. the plans for the stand will be to have smoked glass inset between the side tube. and possibly smoked glass doors

[Bodasifa]

one question i have . i have noticed a slight gap between the stand and one corner of the tank. will the foam pad under the tank compress enough or should i put a piece of plywood down with some thicker foam on top. or just some thick high density foam by itself

[shiftline]

How big of a gap? Mine is up until a mm or two of the edge



Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

[Bodasifa]

the gap is at the rear left corner, just enough that you can see light through it if i shine a flashlight. the tank does have a foam mat preinstalled. the rest of the tank rests perfect on the stand. I may add a thin yoga mat as well

Nice recovery! Glad to see you stuck with it despite the tank failure, thats always really crushing to go through. Love the new setup!

[Bodasifa]

love the aquascaping, i am only hoping i can come up with something decent looking

[shiftline]

I was up until 2 am that nigh trying to get it how I liked it. many hours of re arranging to get it just right!

Thanks Elliot! I'm very happy with the new setup. Lots of work building, tweaking and customizing.. but it's turning into a slick little self contained reef!

[Myka]

Looks good! I'm glad you found a way to fix the gap. That pic of the test reagents sitting on the edge of your tank is freaking me out though! Don't knock a test vial in! :eek: I have a soft spot for Porcelain Crabs too, very cute.

[shiftline]

The little porcelain crab is so cute! His new shop is right in the middle of my rock flower anemone!

With the Red Sea alkalinity. Do you test it the instant it starts to turn colour or when it's actually orange?
According to bulk reef supply calculator it said to add 75ml of each calc/alk to raise my levels. However testing tonight calcium is at 415-420 and alk is a little high at 3.7/10.4. (I was shooting for 9.5)

very nice new toy!!! will that go into your next/bigger/upgraded tank? :biggrin:

BTW very nice aquascaping just like your planted tank.

[shiftline]

Why thank you! I'll snap some updates pics of the tank tomorrow. I just set up this tank a few months ago so it will be atleast a year before I can justify an upgrade :P

I would however like to to a custom shallow reef with similar dimensions and double the length!

time to conact concept huh?? lol I'm also upgrading mine soon from 34G to 65G.. I'm lately into fishes so no fancy coral for me for a while. I also envy your organizing skills ( both display area and under the tank).. yours will be awesome reef tank given that fact :)

[shiftline]

Concept is on my next year wish list ;) maybe I just need to win one if their monthly contests haha never know.

I added the mp10qd last night and am very impressed with how much quieter it is compared to the white es driver version I tested last week.

You inspired me to tidy up my stand a bit today as well

I haven't tested the total runtime but so far the tank hasn't missed a beat. I may put just the mp10 or return pump on battery and the rest on surge only however it will take some special wiring to work with my switch panel

Last night I had a little issue where the edge of my light got wet... I immediately grabbed it and turned it off. I flipped it over to see the damage and a tiny bit of water made its way in. I wiped off what I could and gave it a quick test... Smoke! I immediately turned it off again and took it apart. Some water got behind the driver board and shorted one of the wires (baaaad day). I express ordered a new driver board to fix the light so all will be well again in about a week then I pop in the new circuit board.

Now being lightless for a week is no fun and something bad (or real good haplened). I ended up splurging on two radion xr15 pro's! I do say they look quite sexy on the tank!

http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/08/06/3927265e1f62c4f3d020bae4820e80df.jpg

[Duckhams]

Sorry to hear about the light issues, that's frustrating. But it looks like you made a good choice, the radions look great!

[shiftline]

Thanks Elliot'! On the plus side the new circuit board is already in the mail.. So atleast I can replace it then sell the other light to help fund this one :)

I do say all the features on these new ones are fun to play with!

I started it off with a max of 45%. Then a 4 week acclimation at 40%. So hopefully that does the trick

Right now I have one side with the wide lens and one with the standard to try and decide which way to go

[Duckhams]

Good plan! It looks like you have the wide lens on the left, there's a little lit spill on the back wall. I'd say the standard lens is your better choice given the dims of your tank. Keep the light in the tank and off the wall! :D You might end up with increased algae growth in the back compartments with the wider lens.

[shiftline]

Good eye. And that is a very good point! I'll pop the regular lens on and see if covers it all. I think I should be safe.

Do you think 45% for max intensity is about right for my shallow tank?

[Duckhams]

I think thats a good starting point to see how your corals react. Just keep an eye on them and see how they do over the next couple weeks, then adjust as needed. You're definitely on the right track.

As I was swapping the standard lens back into the radion I spotted the porcelain crab molting. My little predator looking crab reminded me of predator as he was working on shedding his layer of skin. While I was at it I decided to snap a few new pics

Tank is looking real nice man! Keep it up!

[shiftline]

Thanks Blackradon!

Today i felt inspired and decided to do a video update of the tank.
9 Weeks in!

Enjoy!

After spilling some ATO water I slid the tank over to clean it up then decided it was a good time to organize my wires. I velcroed the power bricks to the back of the stand. Better cooling and less clutter behind my switch panel. I even added drip loops!

very nice!! that is your dog! lol he/she is like asking you for more attention to him/her.. lol. nicely organized.. as I expected :)

[shiftline]

Haha yes that's little Orion.
Still a pup at just shy of 6 months. Smart little punk!

Pro tip: 3M Velcro works awesome for sticking heavy items (30lbs per sq inch!)

Worked perfectly for those heavier power bricks! After spilling water it seemed like a much better plan to get them off the ground and out of an enclosed area

Pro tip #2. If you have hardwood/Laminate/tile. Place a chunk of carpet or those felt sliders under your stands legs so you can slide it out when needed!

Today I splurged on one oft favourite fish, a dwarf flam angel. This is my final addition to the tank until I do my figure custom one. (Still may be open to other cool tony inverts ect)

The new guy is beautiful. After acclimation he only his for about 20 min and was out and about exploring the Tank. He also ate with the rest of the fish and gobbled down some MySis! Now fingers crossed that he doesn't nip any corals

Looking good! How are the radions working for you?

[shiftline]

The radios are doing a fine job! I'm actually on the hunt for another one for a future frag tank :)

I added a few new corals and now my poor tank is packed!

Other than a lack of space, corals living in a bucket and a flame angel who nips some polyps the tank is doing awesome!

[Duckhams]

Time for an upgrade! :D

[shiftline]

Haha yep. This coral thinks addictive!

Already working on the design for a 5.5-6' shallow reef :)

It's been a while since I did an update. So I should probably share a few of my new Goodies


Today I picked up a Mars sunset chalice to add to the garden :)
