Very nice. Love the diy skimmer.

Thanks I like it too. Need to get its own pump instead of running it off the main return pump. Might get a jebao dc pump.

Thanks Joe, and will hop to it tomorrow.... currently working on a 'PIF' shipping costs deal with "???" Hopefully post up something GREAT on that thread in next day or two as well.

Fun Thread here and browsed through most of it just now, great idea to have a bunch of 'Cool' systems on a single thread.



Cheers, Todd

OK, here is some info and pics to my now 125g soon to be 180g Display. This system was originally going to a strictly Hawaiian bio-tope as most of the Fish and Inverts I had collected myself or with a friend from Oahu. Planned on selling off all non Hawaiian species including Coral families not represented there. After most of the Fish were gone a big hiccup occurred when about to sell my beautiful little Powder Blue.... just could not do it, so kept him and my favorite Ornate leopard Wrasse and Tailspot Blenny.... then through out the whole idea. So as you can see there is a large number of non native to Hawaii species now.

Custom 3/4" Acrylic 125g DT (60x24x20) with dual 1-1/2" Herbie overflows, FTS 12/8/14 on Custom DIY Cherry Stand and Canopy.

Modified 75g RR acrylic sump/refugium, mostly 'Fuge' with PanWorld 100PX return pump, Vertex Omega 180i Skimmer, TLF 150 Phosban Reactor, SWC Master Doser X3 dosing DIY 2-part plus Mg. Ozotech Ozone Generator.

My own design DIY Broad Spectrum LED Array with a true East-to-West Solar lighting schedule plus an active Lunar Cycle from a Apex setup.

Very nice!! Thank you for sharing!!

A few of the now updated equipment list is completion of the canopy top installing large 200mm fans.

Changed up the flow with addition of a pair of Jebao RW15's Wavemakers on either end running a pulsing Gyre. Removed the old Hydor Evo 1400 as not needed.

And a plumbed in Frag Tank with a Reef Radiance DM155e fixture above.

With 25 Fish in my system I feed fairly heavy and typically is a random mix of 4-6 cubes frozen of Mysis, Blood Worm, Plankton, Spiro Brine Shrimp and approx a Tablespoon of mixed pellets consisting of NLS Marine and Hikari Seaweed Extreme.

Cheers, Todd

Beautiful reef tj! I love the mature colonies and wide variety of corals. Great work on the lights and the hinge for them to fold up is a great idea.

 

[TJ's Reef]

Thanks, and now really looking forward to the next build/update to be able to tweak a few more things.

I forgot to #Tag someone earlier so will keep it West Coast for a bit Y'all


My Buddy Duane trido TAG! your it Bro

Cheers, Todd

 

[joekool]

Todd you really had to list everything dude. Makes me feel like I did post enough info on mine. Hopefully you got all the lights taken down.

 

[TJ's Reef]

Yes, you Slacker.... lol Seriously though already had a full Livestock List in a Word Doc that I only needed to copy-n-paste over with and had recently updated it for the TOTM/R2R Spotlight in October or November ???


Cheers, Todd

 

[joekool]

So funny. I'm a bad reefer I only know half of the names of the corals in my tank. Todd make me a fancy list. Lol

 

[afamousjohnson]

Dang main. Interested in that lighting. Love how it steps up from left to right also. The left side pic at the end - digging that side.

 

[joekool]

Dude i got that same rug that your skimmer pic is on

I have had mine for years. Bought on side of road. Lol

 

[afamousjohnson]

So funny. I'm a bad reefer I only know half of the names of the corals in my tank. Todd make me a fancy list. Lol

the best thing with that is that those you don't know they grew in your tank so now they are Joe Kool this and Joe Kool that unless otherwise we'll known. Isn't that a large basis of a name - where it came from or where it grew up.lol if I search a certain piece I want to know where it came from and what momma looks like not the closest representative of it.

You talking about Todd's tank. Yep it's pretty nice. He's a cool guy with a cool tank.
