Dnoob's 395g reef from Finland

Dnoob · Nov 22, 2015

I'm starting a new reef. Little bit bigger than earlier tank of course. The dimensions of the display tank are 66,9*43,3*31 1/2 and about 395 gallon (170*110*80 cm and about 1500 liters). Total volume of the water in the system is about 435 gallons (1650 liters). That includes the sump and the piping. It's made of 0,6 inch (1,5cm) thick glass, the overflow is made of black glass and rear glass is taped to black.

There will be the closed loop system powered by Deltec E-flow 16 DC pump http://www.theaquariumsolution.com/deltec-e-flow-16
controlled by E-Box http://www.theaquariumsolution.com/e-box-controller-e-flow-pump

Some old Tunze osmolator and tunze wavebox from my old tanks. Can't even remember the year, when I bought them.

Lets see how it goes. If it goes as usually, there will be a terrible flood and fire everywhere

More project pictures will come on next week, when the tank is started.

Welcome to R2R.
Looks like you got it covered equipment wise. Hope all goes well and that the anticipated flood and fire does not happen (any history to that?)
Looking forward to pics of this coming along.

Thank you. This is my sixth marine tank, so over the years has happend a lot

In Finland we have a phrase "pessimisti ei pety" that is in english something like "a pessimist will not be disappointed"

awesome build. I always like to ask people in other countries what their cost for stuff like this is. not really equipment wise, but more live stock wise. would you say its expensive there? generally speaking of course, anything can be expensive lol

Dnoob · Nov 22, 2015

Thanks. It's not more expensive here as it is over there. You can buy equipments whence ever you want round the world. DHL, UPS ect. will do it smoothly. It is impossible to say is it expensive, because it depends how much money you got to spend. Everything you spend your tank is almost free of costs

maroun.c · Nov 22, 2015

I'd say Scandinavian countries are of the most expensive countires to anything.

Dnoob · Nov 22, 2015

Live stock is more expensive in Finland. Thats true.

Really like the equipment choices, especially looking forward to seeing the closed loop with the deltec pump and that flow diverter.

that's what I was more wondering is livestock. I know ordering online is easy in most places but livestock and livestock options vary from country to country. hell, it varies from city to city out here lol

Looking forward to it!

Project day 1. Old aquarium is empty and all the animals and the rocks are located in the temporary aquarium. Tomorrow morning I will take the sand away and clean the glass.

Fingers crossed here.

maroun.c · Nov 24, 2015

Hope it all goes smooth

Dnoob · Nov 24, 2015

Day 2. Everything went alright. The tank is in place. Tomorrow we will put the water and the animals to tank and build the pipings.

Hows's the floor support looking?

I hope you have better luck with the flowwolf than I and so many other people did. After 9 months, 3 replacement units and about $1500 I gave up! Seals kept on failing.
