The Upgrade - cchsoracle's ULNS CAD 34G Mini

[cchsoracle]

I have a thread going on another forum for this tank. I set it up almost 2 months ago. I figured I would make a thread here on R2R as I am starting to spend more time here.

I started this as an upgrade to my Nuvo 8. I quickly ran out of room in the Nuvo. That is something very easy to do, especially when you live within 20 minutes of some really awesome LFS's(including World Wide Coral)!!!

Here are the specs:

System Established: August 19th, 2014
Tank: CADLights 34G MiniII
Lighting: ATI Sunpower 6x24W(B+ - Actinic - B+ - C+ - Actinic - B+)
Skimmer: CADLights PLS-50 Elite
Flow: Jebao RW-4
Heater: Cobalt NEOTherm 75Watt
ATO: Avast Marine Works ATO w/diaphragm pump
Chemical Filtration: Seachem Matrix Carbon(passively in a filter bag)
Dosing: KZ addatives(ZeoBak,Pohl's Xtra SP, Coral Vitalizer, Sponge Power, AAHS, AALPS, Biomate, Coral Snow) and Brightwell products for Calcium, Alk, and Mag

Enjoy!

Cool! Do you have a tank thread? I would love to see what you have done with yours.

Update time.....It's been a very busy past month or so. My wife an I had our second child about a week and a half ago. The tank is pretty much in auto pilot for now. I borrowed a DSLR from a friend to take some pictures of the baby, and figured I would take some shots of the tank as well. Check it out!

I just realized it has been quite a while since I have updated this thread, so here is a photo dump for those who are interested. My tank has gone through a lot of both ups and downs over the past 6 months, but it is quite on track now. I just got some nice new pieces at Reefapalooza this past weekend. Enjoy!
