MikeC?s Custom Reefoman 140G Rimless Peninsula Build

[MikeC]

Let me first start out by saying this build would not be posible if it was not for Marek (Reefoman) and his impeccable,outstanding,quality artwork.

Marek's tanks are always built as if they are going in his own living room.
His kindness and professionalism does not stop there, help & suggestions for lighting and plumbing was of great help and appreciation.

So thank you Marek

Now on to the tank:

Peninsula
Star fire glass (3 sides)
Custom External overflow.
Drilled for closed loop (2 holes in the bottom,2 in the back mid level & two are over the top in the back)

Darkroon Flowwolf 1"/6 V3.0 Digital Flow Diverter
Iwaki 30 for return

Being built

Then it was time for me to build the stand

ATI Powermodule Hybrid
I was originally going with Halides but after seeing this light on Reefomans tank I knew I had to have it.
Keeping in mind the new stand was built low enough to hang MH just incase

Some of my DIY stuff,skimmer stand,Top netting,closed loop over the back.

Sump room

Some stuff left over from my 120

The Aquascape

Full tank shots

Very nice how do you like the hybrid? ati

So far so good but I have to be in love with it I paid allot of money for it lol
There I go sounding like a LED guy lol.
But seriously its only been over my coral for 7 days so time will tell.
It is my first time with T5's so I have high hopes.

Thank you

[Marek-S]

Holy mamma - some build Mike , everything is looking awesomeeeee!!!
Congrats

That ATI fixture grows SPS extremely well. It is essentially a T5 fixture, LED are supplemental. Mike, you will have faster growth than you have ever seen. Just don't stay too clean or you'll have a tank full of easter egg colors under that light
