Hermans 120g

[herman]

With the promise of a case of newcastles and whitecastles by DVS aka phil here goes another tank thread And for those of you that wonder, I did not piss into it this time as I was using old water and established rocks. This is however yet another temporary tank in the ongoing list of temporary tanks

Lets start with the list of stuff crammed into the tank.

The tank itself is a 48"x24"x24" glasscages tank featuring a big overflow containing 2 x 1.5" drains and 2 3/4" returns. The tank also has 6" "splashguards". I just call them shelves The sump is a modified 30g acryllic

I thought you were looking for Deltec sponsorship?

the schuarn have pumps built into the bottom of the reactor, very slick.

deltec is not the best choice between the two. :shhh:

Nice engine you got there. Is that a deltec skimmer as well? The tank looks great. Which are the reef ceramics you said you had? I don't see any on the walls. More pics!

Never mind the skimmer question, i am too busy looking for pics, i missed the reading part, lol.

I dont have the reefceramics walls. I have the fragrocks from reefceramics. You can barely tell the difference now since they have been sitting in the fragtank. I get more pics up with a couple of corals in there. I started putting them in this morning. Each coral gets put on a frag rock so its easy to remove them in the future if need be.

It's going to look stunning to say the least. And with top notch equipment like that, who needs water changes, lol. How long did you plan this out, or you bought all the gear in one shot?

It originally was not planned like this. It just happened That and other reefers fueling the addiction fire. :sgrin: Not that Im complaining. I have other stuff coming shortly. This is yet another temp setup. I figured its easier to run one 120g over 5 rubbermaids and a fragtank.

The Deltecs are good but not quite what I was looking for. I did not want additional pumps and hoses all over the place. Space is limited. The Schuran has the aquabee mounted on the bottom. Just place it in the sump and youre good to go without connections and more hoses. That and I like the way they look Also the multifilter has a ballvalve on the output letting me regulate the flow. I ordered one for carbon and one for phosphate remover.

Are you going to run schuran media on the reactor as well?
