V3NOMUS's 225 gallon rimless peninsula build thread

V3NOMUS · Aug 19, 2014

Also got around to building and staining my stand. All done for now. Just want to save some money to upgrade my Radions to G3 Pro's, and get more corals! LOL!

First of all, AMAZING work.

I am currently searching for ideas, (poaching) for when my 240g peninsula arrives.

I have just one question right now. Are you using any type of controller for the equipment? Seems it might be hard with the Eliminator E107 control center switches you have hooked up. However, I think they are an awesome idea for quick and immediate power manipulation without needing to mess with the controller when used in conjunction.

No controllers other than reedlink for the lights and mp40's, but I rarely meas with it. When I need to do a water change or some, I just flip the switch to shut off what I need. And thanks!

Very nice build! I wonder how you get the rocks to stay like that, my critters always move mine around so much

Wow, that is growing in nicely.

Made sure when placing the rocks they were locked down in a way as to not be knocked over. Took quite a few hours going back and forth to get it right. Glued a few pieces together, but not very many.

Thanks guys!

Nice build. Are you using BRS media reactors? If so how did you go about plumbing it like that? With the white pvc

V3NOMUS · Feb 10, 2015

Thanks! I was, but I switched over to Next Reef reactors. The BRS ones I weren't big enough for my tank. All I did was unscrew the push connect fittings that came with them and screwed in a thread to PVC pipe connector, then went from there. The Next reef ones I have now sit in the sump and I just used the rubber hoses that came with them.

I thought this tank looked familiar! Congrats on the FB post. lol Do you still have your massive bubble?

V3NOMUS · Feb 10, 2015

I have a fb post? Lol! And no. Ended up getting rid of him. He outgrew my tank. Has a happy new home front and center in a massive 600 gallon.

Here's pics of the heart of the system. What's hidden behind the stand. And how my stand works. It's all held on by magnets embedded in the wood that connects to the metal stand.
