I'm in the process of setting up my second tank. First one was eight years ago. I cut every corner, did everything wrong and wasted a lot of money and animals.
This time I'm trying to do it right. Read/reasearched a lot, spent the necessary dollars, exercise patience.
Most of the equipment has been purchased (waiting for my custom hood from Marine Depot) and I anticipate putting the stuff together in the next 30-45 days.
Set Up Date : Approx. 8/1/2000
Tank Size (LxHxW | Volume): 48X24X18 90 Gal
Sump Size (LxHxW | Volume): 17 Gal. Lifereef 125.
Live Rock (Mass): Will have 125 lbs.
Live Sand (Mass): No
Lighting (Type | Wattage Photoperiod): Custome Hood from Marine Depot. Two 175W MH 10K, two VHO URI Aqua sun. All Icecap electronic ballasts and timers. Icecast dimmer for the VHO.
Protein Skimmer (Brand | Model): Lifereef VS24, upgraded venturi, Iwaki 30 pump
Biological Filtration (Type): No.
Chemical Filtration (Type): Will occasionally run small amount of carbon.
Circulation (Rate | Brand | Model): From Return. 3/4 Sea Swirl.
Return Pump (Rate | Brand | Model): 1,200 GPH Iwaki 40
pH (Morning | Evening): Calcium Reactor with a Accumax I pH controller.
Temperature (Range | oC | oF): 1/4 HP Chiller with Medusa Controller.
Specific Gravity / Salintity (g/g | ppt):
Alkalinity (meq/l | dKH):
Calcium (ppm): Calcium Reactor from Lifereef
Ammonia (ppm):
Nitrite (ppm):
Nitrate (ppm):
Phosphate (ppm):
Fish :
Corals :
Invertebrates :
Maintenance Program :
Additional Information : Jeff at Lifereef has been good to work with. He's building a "turnkey" berlin system for me. Bought a lot of stuff from Marine Depot. Hood was damaged in shipping (UPS problem) and Ken at MD handeled getting a replacement. Also had good luck at Aquarium Instruments. Good prices and follow through.
