Hello Guys,
Some years ago, I was starting the reefing with a lot of passion, which is still there today and bigger ! My main tank was a 120x80x55 which was published on the REEF2REEF Facebook page, some of you may already see it:
some months ago, I got a copper problem because of my calcium reactor pump... I've tried during some months to get it back on track, but there was still some problems left. So I've decided to restart it with a better vision thanks to my experience during those past years !
The tank is about to get back to life this week and I wanna share with you the evolution and equipment features during those next months !
So here it is:
Tank size: 120x80x55cm / 47x31x21"
Sympa size: 108x54x40 / 42x12x16"
RO/DI tank: 80L / 21g
Skimmer: Nyos Quantum 220
Return pump: Sicce Syncra SDC 9.0
Flow pump: 2x Ecotech Vortech MP40W QD
Reactor: Deltec FR509 (Carbon)
Zeolite reactor: Fauna Marin Zeomatic 2.2
Calcium Reactor: Dastaco T2
Heater/Cooling: Teco TK1000
Lighting: DIY 14x54w T5 (4 are E5 Blue Pop!)
Control: APEX 2016 + WXM Module + ATK + Energy Bar 6
Other: Ecotech Battery Back-up
Here is some picture during the total rebuild before the launch !
A bit rusty !
Let's clean it with acids and paint up !
Work goes well, first element to hide the sump are placed. Electrical power is there too !
The tank is placed !
The "Millenium falcon starship" (according to a lot of people) scaping is ready to welcome acroporas !
The full tank is ready, I just need to finish the plumbing!
Plumbing work in progress:
I will try to post some pictures tonight, the tank is, by now, up and running since 2-3 weeks and the first snails and hermit crabs armies are already cleaning everythings
