Tbelt's 180 gallon build

Thanks any and all ideas are welcome. I have about 2 weeks until I start on my sump/refugium. Have a couple of ideas but not sure yet what I am going to do. I do know I am going to put a light over it on an opposite timing set up fron the DT. I am going to have a skimmer and a phosphate reactor in it. Still reading and deciding.

 

Thanks for the welcome. Ya thats kewl u got a very nice system you are working on right now. How much did u pay for that. Also im not quit sure on the phosphate reactor.srry i cant help there i have never used one not quit sure on how they work i no someone who has a rlly rlly good setup i could talk to tommarow and see what his is if u want me to..o btw that is a sweet go-cart lol id race that thing with 30mph lol put a lil umphff on that baby make it go 60 lol.

 

Any info you can get would be appreciated.
as far as the go gart 30mph is plenty the driver is 6. I have 2 others. One is a Nascar replica that goes plenty fast. A couple of dirt bikes when you really want to get hurt. Thanks for any help you can get. Pics would help

 

I have started to think this thread might be a little boring at this time. All so far is cabinet work so I am posting pics of the current tank for comparison when the new tank is up and running.

Thanks for looking

 

well, i lied its a calcium reactor and its a vertex. he just put phosphate stuff in there i dont no how it works rly but his tank is pretty healthy.Wow, how big is your current tank it looks small,kinda bare too but the rock work is rly kewl. I figured u were upgrading becasue u ran out a room haha.but thats ok the tank is still rlly kewl. The corals are ncie looking. O btw he changed a few things on the calium reactor to make it work dont ask what i was lost after the very first sentance haha srry. Also is that a pc lighting u got on that one

 

It is a 55 and I also have a 34. Going to combine them in the 180. Did not upgrade as much for the room as the deal I got. I originally went to look at just the lights. The deal for the whole set up was too good to pass up. The 55 had about 30 pounds more rock but I was having nitrate concerns and pulled some out 3 weeks or so ago to get better flow through the rocks. Most of the corals, well actually all the corals are frags and will grow over time. I only took pictures of half of them. I am going to go slow and let it grow.

 

Ya, a lot of my corals are frags too, i dont blame ya most of the time when u rush things your tank will crash...some ppl will get lucky but usually not. The ones u did take pics of though are nice and healthy looking. ya i no how them deals work lol..its kewl u got another tank to..Can u take a pic off the 34g or did u in them up there too?

 

Some pics of the 34 as requested.

 

that is a rly sweet tank. What kind is it iv never seen a tank like that. Also very good job on the rock work. Also did you order it...U get any work done on the tank or u still held up?

 

Red Sea Max 130. a plug and play tank. I hope the rock work comes out well in the 180. Thanks for the kind words on the rockwork. Putting the second coat of texture today on the base and canopy, then clear them tomorrow. Should also get the tank all cleaned up. So plans are to get alot done this weekend. We will see but looks like the weather is going to going to be nice. It is of to the grarage.
