45g Reboot

Jimbo662 · Mar 1, 2018

This tank was originally planned as a lagoon type tank for LPS. When I moved last November I broke it down so the movers could move it for me. Time to get it back up and running for a special inhabitant! I had been using a Skimz sump. The only issue I was having was the height of the sump made it difficult to remove the skimmer cup. I had a 20g long sitting around and decided to check out the kit that turns the 20g into a sump. I'm very impressed with the quality of the pieces. Quick and easy to silicone them in the tank. Once I've got the sump done and the tank cleaned up a little better I'll move the rock and most of the water from the 66g that I'd been using for QT. Hopefully I'll be able to get the new inhabitant in the next week or two!

Equipment:

45g SCA tank (36"x24"x14")

20g long sump

SCA 302 skimmer

Pair of MP10QDs

Giesemann Aurora T5/LED

UV Sterilizer

Reef Octopus Varios 2 return pump

Thanks, it's been "brewing" for about a year and a half. I was so done with messing with the tanks yesterday I basically just threw it in this tank not worrying about how it looked.
