30g SPS dominant Drop off

[91Atrac]

Well I figured since things have gotten to a serious note that it's about time I start a thread.

Wouldn't have thought of a better place then here to post it.

To the beginning now, I got a free 30g awhile back and decided to use it as a sump for my 40g frag tank. I made the baffles and had it ready for the setup but in time it never happened and I moved so it sat around. Decided to tinker so I removed baffles and set it up to be a drop off tank because in the past I built one and I never set it up long term.

So as of now I have the tank designed and made. A stand to be built professionally this time as well. A good friend to set me up well for Sps and a GF to support my decision to do this is also a huge factor a lot of us(I feel) isn't always there or possible.

Equipment used will be either a 165watt chinese or lightboxleds HALO par38.
Rw4 wavemaker 1-2x

And a refugium

Here is the tank and also my previous successful drop off design which I'll be copying.

Got bored and set up a rock scape that I liked a lot. Hope I can recreate it when the tanks ready.

Another update. It's currently cycling as freshwater cuz I don't have enough salt.

 

[91Atrac]

Aaannnnnnnndd it's been shut down. Because we just had a baby boy and funds are too tight to stock the tank. I'm the impatient type so I just setup a nano to hold my stuff till the time comes I can set it up again.

 

[91Atrac]

And it'll be setup soon. Trading it for artwork. Tattoo work I should say.
