My 150 build and tank thread
I been wanting big mix reef for some time now but there were issue that I could not put one up I broke down my 65 back in jan knowning that was not the end of my reefing journey few months went by and I was board so i put up a nice little nano system and started thinking about the beast I had a 100g rimless idea floating around and I was having few issue with gha in my nano so I pick up a juvi yellow tang from my hommie will and he gave me 3 big snail and every day i have to put one if not all three snail back in the tank plus I had two fish jump on me so had to trash the whole rimless idea so now am just looking for a big tank I was looking at 120 tech series and a 150 deep blue both didn't work out few days go by and I saw a 150 again and few pms and a few calls and it was set up . a crazy ride to wantagh on thanksgiving eve with few tickets and the tank was mine it wasn't new but I got the tank + light + stand similar in price the stand didnt fit the spot I am putting the tank in so I took it apart and rebuild it am a carpenter/plumber I going to put up a nice mix reef in the bx jn the upcoming year

[noelskii]

wow! very little clearance on top...you sure you wanna keep it there?

 

[Imbarrie]

Just bought the same tank and was planning a stand very similar.

What sump configuration are you going with?
Are you supporting underneath with anything?

 

[howze01]

What are the measurements on that tank? Is it just me or does it look awfully small for a 150g?

 

[dubs]

Noelskii the tank is staying there I have exactly 8"from the top of the tank to were the light is am staying with my outer orbit and build led around it

Imbarrie I think u got the other tank I was trying to get .. the sump I don't know yet I might build a 40 breeder into a sump and no i will not be doing no underneath support the stand as is support the tank I just have build some doors

Howze its a 150 I wanted a short tank its 48L/24w/30h

 

[noelskii]

when u have the light mounted, you're only gonna have a few inches to work with. it's gonna be tough if you have big pieces of rocks.. anyway, tank looks good! more pics!

 

[dubs]

Noelskii there is more room behind the soffit than u see I think u should swing by and see it for u self I been using mh for a while now I know the amount of hight needed plus I am going install my light om a track like a cabinet so when I have get in the tank ill just slide the light out the way

 

[Imbarrie]

Im going with a 75. Thought about the 40 BR but I wanted more fuge space.

I love the dimensions of this for a 4' tank.

 

[dubs]

Imbarrie I would love add 75 as sump but have limited hight so thats y am going with the 40 breeder or something with similar demention and i love the demention on this tank also short and wide

 

[Imbarrie]

I wanted shorter to but it's hard to find. Was looking for acrylic also and would cut it down.
Ended up with the 75 but I have a higher ceiling.

 

[howze01]

Howze its a 150 I wanted a short tank its 48L/24w/30h

Wow! Those pictures are deceiving! From looking at the pics it looks like a 36x18 tank. Maybe I need a new prescription....

 

[dubs]

Lol Howze its cause its empty when its filled the size will show more

 

[Imbarrie]

What are you going to use for flow inside the tank?
I'm on the fence between koralias for the time being or a Vortech.

 

[JARRETT SHARK]

nice build...keep those pics coming

 

[dubs]

Imbarrie I plan on getting two mp40 but for the time been ill used a couple of k3&k4 I have few equipment to get but as long as o have the tank up and running ill add them add i go

Jarrett shark thanks man trying play with the big boys like u lol

 

[dubs]

I grab a oceanic ready sump which I will mod to make fuge and I aleady have few skimmer on deck I just don't have a lot time on my hands right now to work on the tank but I will try to get it fill before new years
