E-Bay strikes again. I just bought a 300 gal. tank

Grats on the great tanks mate!

Do you guys think two 300 Gallon tanks would be alot of work?

One Reef and One FOWLR?

 

Wow, this is dredging up an old thread.

I don't find the 300 to be an excessive amount of work. It's just a pain dealing with that much plex when the tank(s) are having fun making lots o coraline. It is a never ending battle to try and keep the plex clean without scratching it. I'm close to what you are looking at. I have a 90 fowler too. Both are run into the same 210g basement sump and hardware. It dramatically reduces the amount of maintenance. If you are planning on 2 tanks, I highly recommend figuring out a way to merge the plumbing. As a side benefit, you end up with a huge amount of water in 1 system (600 for me) and everything is very stable.

 

Ah okay fair call... This may be a stupid question but coraline and plex are...??

Thanks,

Breed

 

Coraline is algea that grows on the plex Plex=Plexiglass=Brandname for cellcast acrilic which is what the tanks made of. CellCast is much softer than glass So if your not carefull when cleaning off the coraline it will scratch;D

 

Okay no worries... thanks

 

thx darkliteseeker

It's probably worth mentioning that coraline is loaded with calcium so it is a pain to get off once established.

 

Coralline is actually a coral more so then a algae. Its thought to be one of the oldest forms of encrusting coral living today. Last i heard ?

 

where is the updated pics of this beast?

 

That requires taking pictures.
OK, I guess I'm over due. I'll try to get some posted this week.

 

I want to see some PICS!! lol. It has been longer than a week. I thought my 100 was big, but your sump is bigger than my whole system, LOL.
