My DSA 105

[MarcoV]

I have been a member for a while but have yet to share my tank, here goes.

I found a great deal on CL about 5 months ago which I could not pass up and moved my 80 gal to a 105 gal with a 40 gal sump.

DSA 105 rimless (48x24x21) on custom built stand
40 gal sump
wp40 & wp 25
Reef Octopus return pump
Bubble Magus Curve 5
120 watt full spectrum LEDs
about 120 lbs live rock
120 lbs oolite fine sand

Have a few fish and both soft and hard corals.

Moved everything from my 80 to 105

Moved the frags into rocks

A few months later and what it looks like now.

Looks awesome, I just got this same exact tank. Its 105 gallon, rimless, with the same bottom black plastic on it. Overflow looks exactly the same as well. Did you build your own stand? Whose DSA by the way.... Edit: Deep Sea Aquatics.... just googled lol

 

[MarcoV]

Stand was custom built by previous owner and is solid. Has a center brace in the front that is removable for easy maintenance.

 

[Los]

Very nice, I need to either build a wood stand or have someone weld a metal stand for me. How do you like the overflow.... Loud?

 

[MarcoV]

Not too much, I have Maggie Mufflers on overflows so not too bad.

 

[Los]

Those Mufflers look nice. Would you happen to have a picture of them installed? Would like to see how you installed them. Thanks!

 

[MarcoV]

Maggie Muffler installed right at tank level so does not impact the aesthetics of the rimless tank.

Ohhhh, I am so jealous. I love the dimensions of your DSA105.

I like your original scape with minimal rock and the little bridge. Great setup!

 

[MarcoV]

Thanks, It was how I has always seen it when planned it out. I ended up adding more rock on left as some SPS real estate.

 

[MarcoV]

New additions to the tank.

 

[MarcoV]

Other than the multiplying zoas this is the most noticeable growth in corals.
