Setup Sale Calgary - Tank+LED+Aquascape+MP10+Sump+Stand+More...
 

***ALL SOLD***

After finishing this Aquascape I have decided to get out of the hobby, at least temporarily. Here's what I have:

- Aquascaped Starfire Tank: 48" X 14 deep X 20 Tall with left side external dual overflow and bottom right return ($500 including almost 100 Lbs Eco-Reefer base and cut rock fully and permanently aquascaped. There is more loose rock than shown in the pictures. Prof welded and primed angle iron stand and bulkheads w. plumbing included.)

- Sump: 36" X 12" deep X 20ish tall with baffles (lengths of functional sections inside of baffles: 2.5" + 7.5" + 12.5" + 5.5") ($100)

- One gallon of Bioballs (Free with any other item(s))

- 6 X 20K Nanotuners PAR38 LED Lamps including track fixture and extra/wider optics for all 6 lamps ($400 for all 6 -or- $70 each $$$SOLD$$$)

- 48" Coralife T5 Aqualight ($80) with one new acintic and one new 10'000K bulbs

- EcoPlus Axial 4.5" Fan (to be installed in future canopy) ($25)

- Keep in mind: Aquascaping + materials, GST, Shipping (especially on 100 lbs of rock), and many hours of my time spent perfecting the Aquascape.

I have given it some thought and will part out (display tank, rock and stand must go together). EVERYTHING IS BRAND NEW.

Full package price = $600

How much room is there between the closest rock and front glass?

Aquascape
 

The rock that was used for the wall is approx 1"-2.5" thick. The arches are the closest to the front glass and leave about 2"-3" to the glass for cleaning etc. They could also be moved back or changed without doing any harm to those rocks or the rest of the aquascape.

On the left end of the tank, the rock wall pretty well butts up to the front pane of glass. I planned to cover about 1" of the left end of the front pane when building the canopy, but also made sure that it looks nice and clean where it butts up, even if not covered by stand/canopy
Hope this makes sense.

Aquascaping process (new photos added):

Flat sided rock from Eco-Reefer attached securely to egg crate with zip ties. An adhesive expanding foam product called Rockin' Foam (meant for tanks and ponds etc) was used to fill the gaps between the rocks. Crushed Eco-Reefer rock and crushed aragonite sand is pressed into the wet foam starting with larger pieces and moving to the aragonite sand to fill in. The rock wall is then solid. The 3 to 4 pieces were then glued to the tank walls using reef safe silicone and blended with the same process as above.

- I spent days researching which products to use to ensure the tank is 100% reef safe
- The aquascaping took weeks to perfect
- The rock wall is SOLID and extremely well adhered to the tank
- The spaces between the Eco-Reefer rock are very well blended and look quite natural in person

See the new photos and comments on the Flickr site if you are interested.

Was this tank ever filled? How did it perform? Thanks.

Yes I did fill the tank before I started aquascaping to ensure everything went smoothly. The overflow works great, the mag 7 is definately enough (and may need to be dialed back with a ball valve depending), the sump works great as well and has enough capacity to hold the tank runoff if the power were to go out. No issues and definately no leaks.
