AKMA's tank thread

[akma]

This is my 3rd upgrade and last until I am purchase a home in a few years.

I got the tank from another member and basically followed his same plumbing.

It is roughly a 112 gallon rimless tank made by AO. Pretty much got the whole setup from one guy which made things allot easier.
Dimensions are 48x30x18.
Custom Acryllic sump.
Quietone Return
ATB small cone skimmer
A tunze osmolator for ATO
Have 1 vortech for flow plan and will be moving over a tunze 6025 and a tunze 6045 until I can upgrade to another vortech.
For the light i'm using a aquactinics solar flare.
Debating on supplementing with a calcium reactor or dosing. Don't have anything in the tank yet so we'll see as the time comes.
Pics coming up.

I recieved cured rock from another member here who had the rock in his tank for about 8 months.

Added some fish food to help create a cycle and as of yesterday
Nitrate
Nitrite
Ammonia all equal 0.
Used API test kits for the nitrate and nitrite and salifert ammonia test.

Yay Perry! :splitspin You arent seriously going to cover it right?

 

[Killerdrgn]

what skimmer is that?

 

[greggnyce]

looking good, great plumbing.

 

[akma]

Thanks guys.

tangmaniac: I have 48" 6 bulb t5 lights. It's the solar flare fixture made by aquactinics. Love the lights.

mckostya: AO is a tank building company located in Ca.

Sup josh. I plan on getting some wrasses so I plan on getting some sort of top to cover it. Shouldn't really pop out and take away from the tank itself. Are you going to start your nano anytime soon?

I have to start moving stuff from my tank and hopefully fill it up decently at the swap.

 

[grundig5]

Hey perry
Tank looks great man, glad you are getting it going. I understand on the wrasses, they are amazing fish. Check out AgentSPS's build on RC - he has an amazing 60x40 rimless tank and has a top that looks pretty good without detracting from the look too much.
No nano is planned right now...enjoying my time away from reefs I'll get back in some day.

Did you have any problems setting it up?

LIES! You told me you not going to the swap.

 

[OctaviousMonk]

Great looking tank, I love the dimensions. Who makes that light bracket, or did you make it yourself?

 

[ECFENCING]

That's an expensive light bracket from zero edge but it looks nice!

 

[oceangallery]

Sweet setup!! I can already imagine it filled with corals!
