=^..^=90 gallon miracles tank
 
This is going to take a long time for me to get off the ground.
Even though it a midsize tank I plan on putting all the bells and whistles on this tank.
Im hoping that ecotech comes out with a new skimmer by next year

Here is the controller its a neptune Jr.
I don't run a Ph probe I never found it use full. I don't know if I will be running ozone never found I needed it for prior tanks.

The bare bones.
I want to add a lot more Neptune products to my tank. I should have bought this years ago. Got by with just a reef keeper

Tunze is adding DC to its 9012 skimmer
I think I am going to go Tunze for this tank. Never had one of there skimmers but I know its quite. Its a nice fit for the tank.

Skimmer Juice 10-16-2015 10:23 PM

Red and white looks classier , so depends what look you want . Radioactive glow or subtle look . Are you using any vertex equipment ?

Bugger 10-17-2015 01:05 AM

Sumps
I was thinking of getting the red and white but asking them to make it orange so I could use orange pvc pipe. Also I do already own a green ato that's why I thought to go with the green sump. Also the tunze skimmer is also black.
Here is another tank that went with the green looks sharp still

Take my money I want one

Douglas 10-17-2015 02:30 PM

Very cool looking Sumps. I'd love one myself in Green/Black. But not sure if that company ships to Canada.

Sure they do I already ordered the ato from them

Is the idea to replace your current tank? Wondering why bother upsizing only 15 gals?

Actually my current tank is a 90 marineland but only holds about 85 gallons. My parents don't want me to get a bigger tank. My marine land is an embarresment considering how much I am into reef tanks. The stand is all rusty and falling apart.

WarDog 10-17-2015 04:29 PM

Hmmm... maybe I should change your other tank build name to 'Johns 90gal' then. Lol.

Those sumps are very pretty, but overpriced IMHO.

Here is the tank. I think im going to have to buy a monteray stand for it.

Duckhams 12-04-2015 07:57 PM

The tank looks awesome! The single piece of black acrylic is very snazzy! Just make sure you never take a metal scraper blade to it, it will scratch. The softer green bristle pads work just as well.

Thanks for the tip.

Bugger 12-31-2015 09:39 PM

Finally got the tank

Now I just have to decide and the kind of stand I want. I really don't know what I am going to do. Miracles dropped off the tank but diden't carry anything into the house. The tank feels real heavy the glass thickness is a lot thicker then my current tank

I just paid for the stand it should look like this but only with two doors.
I have to wait four weeks before I get it.
It is what they call there espresso style

Bugger 02-29-2016 07:52 PM

Does anybody know how to use the Html and Php tags? in the comment section?

Duckhams 02-29-2016 07:54 PM

Thats the stand I got for my 48x20x20. They did an incredible job! You'll love it. Just make sure to paint the inside with a Kilz to waterproof it, i'd do the doors to as any serious splashing will eventually damage the hardwoord.

Bugger 04-12-2016 11:53 PM

http://i1173.photobucket.com/albums/...psnwv4lc8j.jpg

Got the stand they painted black I told them to stain it :cry:
I asked for a stand without a centre brace. They did not listen to me again :cry:

Duckhams 04-13-2016 02:39 PM

The centre brace is probably removable, though im not sure i'd recommend it long term. I personally think the black looks sharp, and it puts the attention on the corals/fish instead of the stand. But I totally understand your disappointment.

Got a new skimmer. Im much happier with the reef octopus compared to the omega.
Im starting to get together the controller just bought a Eb32 looking to pick up the neptune next month.
I've started dosing bacteria to the new tank everything is stable in the old tank
Looking to switch over once I get my controller and circulation and new lighting I am going t5 with some E5 leds
Im hoping Ray at reef supplies will feature my tank in the customer tanks when he gets that started.

Can't wait until the core comes out. Im looking to do two motion vertex things one on the ecotech and one on the new Neptune pump.

DKoKoMan 12-05-2016 02:51 AM

What type of carbon reactor is that?

Bugger 12-05-2016 03:00 AM

I believe your talking about the vertex Devin

Dissapointed with boxing day sales was looking to drop some money
The tank is ready Im going t5 for this tank
Just need to buy the controller and lights and I will place my live stock in.
I don't even know how long water has been in the tank but went threw some cloudyness for about a month and Im sure the thing is cycled

DKoKoMan 12-28-2016 12:22 AM

Looking good! Can't wait to see some photos with the fish and corals
