wow...I think greenwich aquaria needs to do a giant tank so I can go diving in CT and not have to travel to FL, or out of the country as usual.

 

[EmilyT]

wow! i gotta go back soon!

 

[JasonE]

Thanks guys!
But Jonathan's pics make it look a whole lot better than it really is...
He asked me to post some specs on the tank so here goes:
6ft 6" by 4 ft wide by 3 ft tall (580 Gallons)
2 x 100 Blueline 100 returns through 4 Wavyseas
1 x 100 Blueline closed loop through 2 Wavyseas
PM Bullet XL3 with a Hammerhead
5 400w radiums on PFO HQI ballasts
1 14K Ushio in the center back
6 x 4 ft VHO
Reefdosing pump, dosing 500ml a day of B Ionic
Fauna Ultralith system (that I don't keep up with too well)
I like to keep things simple, so no chiller (a Box Fan) and no controllers, probes etc.
Temp is 81
NO3 4ppm
PO4 0.04
Alk 9
CA 375
MG 1300
200G water changes every week

I feed heavy (6 + times a day)
Mysis, Cyclopeeze, Ultra Clam, Minf, tobiko or masago,Amino acids,
And thats basically it.

more insanity

Nice colored sticks. Can I put them in a freshwater tank?

 

[jhale]

ZZ your a freak , people are going to start thinking your serious and or a cult leader

Josh, are you sure your ready to set up your tank, maybe you should keep practicing with that nano you got.

 

[lunner]

I feel high looking at those pics. :knockedou

 

[jhale]

Really? Is this the same place that has a showcase store of tanks across the street?

Dom that's house of fins your thinking of

 

[Josh]

maybe you should keep practicing with that nano you got.

It crashed. One of my cats knocked it onto the floor and batted around the orca. I may start it up again in a few days if I have about 15 seconds free.

200 gal water change? How big is this tank? I missed that in the thread somewhere.... (I know, I know, rif...)

 

[jhale]

tahl, it's in the same post, 580 gallons.

 

[juiceguy]

how all those corals grow so close together and thrive, totally awesome....200g weekly water changes doesn't sound so simple tho, hats off to you

 

[reefman]

wow, awesome tank.
i find 2 things very interesting;
amount of water change (i assume this tank is isolated), and no ca reactor for a tank this size.

 

[jhale]

I've seen the water change, it's pretty simple. the sump is in the basement, and the basement has a drain in the floor with a sump pump. so all you have to do is use a pump in the sump to drain the water, then a pump in the mixing container to fill the sump. you never have to lift a bucket, or deal with a siphon hose. the whole thing takes a few minutes to do.

re: the CA reactor, BIonic Rocks!

I have to take care of some business in CT tomorrow, I am going to try to stop by. I look forward to seeing the tank and meeting Jason tomorrow.

 

[suntzu]

I managed to drop by GA today. What an amazing store!!! It was definitely worth going out of my way for. And Jason was a super nice as well. I will definitely be going back in the near future.

 

[Domboski]

I was at GA yesterday. What a great place. The infastructure for the tank setup is awesome. Very clean. Great looking livestock and coral too. If you haven't been, definitely worth the trip.
