Reefnjunkies 400 gallon inwall

I have personally seen this setup. It is amazing and it is so quiet in the main room. There were a lot of long hard hours that went into this build. Glad to see it finally up and running. Nice job Brad. You should be proud!1smile1

Nice tank, it's amazing how a 75 gallon tank can give a 150 a high stock, it must have been PACKED!

Thanks for the love-Still LOTS to do but its getting there-I should have bought the tubes of epoxy by the case for as much as I keep moving corals-

The 150 was pretty full, There is still quite a bit of room between corals, but its not long before the crowding takes over-I want to give some space this time around for growth.

Well here are a few pics- (sorry for so many)
Its starting to take a little shape-

First I got to post my newest fish-I actually grabbed about 13 but this was a fave

Funny thing there are quite a bit you dont/cant see-Ya that trigger is by far the coolest-its been 2 days and is almost eating from my hand

Wow, that tank is huge. Id love to see some frag tank shots.

Below are the frag tank shots-its still in its "rough" state, I want to do LEDs with it also but found a great deal on the 8 bulb TEK fixture so I'm running that for know

Great job so far man! This tank is looking great!!

Its getting better and better-I just keep moving things around and its starting to shape

looking great!

Thanks!

Doing acrylic was a tough choice0that 300DD by marineland is sweet but when a friend offers to build a 400 for frags and cost only for materials how do I say no.
Plus the left over acrylic gave me one of my sumps and the frag tank-both 3/4"-:wink:

I still have lots of "housekeeping" to do. I hope to get everything mounted to the wall in the upcoming weeks so the floor is clean and the wiring is clean looking but here are a some pics of the frag tank-its plumbed into the main tank is 48x24x15

Those fish are awesome! One day

Well the Gold Rim Tang has gone onto the great ocean in the sky-that fish had a serious poor disposition-I added a Swallowtail and it was so MEAN to the angel it was sad-

The Tang always worked itself up so badly each time I added a new fish it would cause itself to have an ich outbreak . I have been told that tangs carry ich or that it lays dormant within itself and will breakout during episodes of stress, not sure if thats true or decribed correctly but I know I had a purple tang that developed ich from the trip home from the LFS and 2 days later it was gone.

Here is a more recent FTS (granted the GRT died this morning)-I still have had a few changes take place since that last pic and the corals are all starting to settle in and are looking healthy

How deep is the tank? And what lights do you use?

How deep is the tank? And what lights do you use?

The tank is 48"deep, 72x48x27 and is DIY LED 2-24" 60 bulb 3 watt crees and 2-30" 72 bulb 3w watt crees with 2 5 foot actinics
So 264 3 watters and the actinics

It is sad but it was not a very friendly gal, every new fish it stressed itself out by being so aggresive-I sure miss the look of the fish but not the anxiety it casued.
It is not like there is lack of "space" or so I thought

Extremely beautiful tank! Great looking corals. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks!

I really need to get some close ups of the corals, you just cant see how beautiful some of them are. It may be time to whip out the macro lens:wink:
