Fatmike's Sexy 57 Rimless

Fatmike92 · Feb 4, 2013

So I've been in cahoots with Mike from Sexycorals figuring out what I want to do for my new tank

Just got my tank ordered today! And I will be starting the build this weekend!

I've been all over the place with tank sizes but I really think this will be the perfect size for me

Here is my list of equipment that I'll be ordering today also

57 gallon rimless tank

Deep Blue stand

Atomic Reef Sump 33" x 12" x 15"

Atomic Reef ATO box (I love this thing because it is very discrete and it will be outside the stand right next to it)

Light: 6 bulb Aquatic Life 36"

Reef brite LED blues 36"

Skimmer: Magus curve 5

JNS FR2 biopellet reactor

Return pump: sicce syncra 3.5

Powerhead: Ecotech Mp40 w/ battery back up

I will be taking off the overflow well aware that the warranty will be void and creating a different drain system for it so I have more room to work with.

I also ordered 40 pounds of dry rock and 20 pounds of shelf dry rock to play with!

I am very excited I finally have a good idea for aquascaping!

Stocking will be

black ice clowns pair

Red saddle Anthias trio

Blue hippo tang (dime sized)

White Stripe Terelabrus hogfish pair

red mandarin

There will be lots of pictures!

Sounds awesome! Stocking only with sexy corals?btw if you are adding more than one fairy, probably best to add the at the same time, especially in a smaller tank.

Sounds like a sweet build. Are you going with 2 reefbrites, or just one?

That is something I have not figured out yet. I am thinking about putting black egg crate over top of it for now and figure something out later or just stick with that

Not positive though

Marco rock is on the way!

I have a rimless build and am planning on a few wrasses. I'm planning on using the 1/4" screen netting from BRS.
