SPS Dominated Evolution Aqua
Tank:
Evolution Aqua 1200S - approx 48" x 24" x 18"H - roughly 95G including sump. The cabinet/stand is nothing special. But the display is really nice. The work on the glass and silicone is excellent. Sump area. Return: Ecotech Marine Vectra M1 Skimmer: Deltec SC 1456 - rated for 1000litres Light: ATI Hybrid - *still to purchase*. Will be 8xT5 and 3x75watt LED clusters Flow: 1 x MP40 1 x Tunze 6095 Filtration: Undecided...likely keep it simple so will be mix of Seachem Matrix and Siporax Dosing: ATI Essentials. This is a new offering from ATI; it is essentially similar to balling lite. This will be a very slow build. I have literally no time. :headwallblue: 3 kids...4th on the way...and work being ever so busy. In fact I was forced to accept delivery of the tank several weeks early as the LFS is sadly closing down and my tank had already been sitting in the store over 4 or 5 weeks. The current 47G tank was moved across the room a few weeks ago so that I could accept delivery of the new tank and could transfer the stock over slowly. Both tanks will be running until I am satisfied the filtration is ok and the parameters stable. Photo of the 47G: Fish stocking: The fish stock will be kept low-moderate. One of the reasons for the upgrade was so that I could keep a Regal Angel and a Convict Tang. Latest photo of new tank: |

Thank you for the nice words.
A bit about the sump: currently there is only the Deltec 1456 Skimmer and 2 trays containing 4 litres of Seachem Matrix stones. I bought 10 litres of Siporax which I'm going to over today. I think I will leave it at that for the filtration. I will add 1/4 dosage Biopellets later if the filtration needs a little help. The plumbing consists of: 2 x Oceanlife Overflows. The Ecotech Vectra M1 is split using a 1inch Y splitter and returns the water to the display via 1inch soft pipes. The drains are 1.5inch. |

Oceanlife Overflows. Here is a link:http://aquanerd.com/2011/12/oceanlif...list-look.html. I replaced the standard overflow that came with the tank to these as the Oceanlife handle more water flow. Latest on the tank: Have decided on filtration and currently this is what I have. Sump: Just a skimmer and Siporax (10 Litres)/Matrix (4 Litres). My 2 year old was following me around trying to take photos with his own camera lol Most recent FTS. I transferred across my prized corals and cut down large colonies and transferred smaller ones as I like my corals to grow into the tank. |
