![]() That is one impressive tank. I can't believe the size of the clam in the lower tank! Did you document the original setup at all? I would love to see how you put it together.
I believe TOTM is an understatement!

![]() Thanks for all the great comments, I don't have too many pictures of the tanks process but I'll post what I have.
First off this tank was an upgrade from my previous 50 gallon LPS ![]() It started off with just the top tank and all equipment underneath. ![]() ![]() One thing I really wanted to do with the new tank is keep the look clean but still have plenty of access. For the canopy I decided the best thing to do was have it mounted on rails so it could just slide open for access. ![]() ![]() For the stand both sides hinged open while the front side was held on by magnets, this eliminated the need for doors and provided much more access. ![]() At the time there was a refugium located at the front of the stand with the skimmer and sump at the rear. ![]() ![]() ![]() As you can see things were pretty tight and when it came time for upgrades obviously I needed some extra room. At one point I decided to make the refugium viewable as a second tank ![]() This was always somewhat planed, I've always liked the idea of the second tank, even with my previous setup ![]() That's all for now, I'll be back later.

![]() The tank has a closed loop for most of the circulation, 1 input and 4 outputs are located at the bottom of the tank. At the time I was using a Quiet One 6000 with an OM super squirt.
![]() I've since upgraded to using a Reeflo Dart pump for the closed loop and have ditched the OM, I've considered the 4 way but with the problems I've had with the previous model I don't think the device is quite up to par. Here's another shot of the tank after being setup for a few weeks ![]() At the time I also had a fish only tank, and thought I would try my moorish idol in the new reef, this however did not last long as the idol had a good appetite for corals. ![]() As the tank grew older ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |
