nanoreefer17 Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 Starting a new 55g shallow build. Going with rimless 26x26x18 tank that I picked up from a guy in Canada who planned to use for his filtration. Taking the tank to have the overflow designed and then the plumbing installed this week. Shoutout to Matt down in Portland for the sump too, 24x24,16. 0227161017 by Kyle Barber, More pictures to come. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joestotz Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 I hope you have better luck then me I just had a local store drill my tank he drilled the bulkhead to low and scratched the crap out of my tank. After looking a little closer he even broke my bulk head by over tightening it. Now I have to figure out how to fix it or just start over Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a local startup company do the work and it looks to have turned out real well, going to pick things up tomorrow! That's a nice looking sump!!!

nanoreefer17 Posted September 30, 2016 Author Share Posted September 30, 2016 0929161613a by Kyle Barber, on Flickr Got the system up and running, corals still trying to color up! Really happy with how it turned out. Will post rockscape pictures, and would love some input on sps placement. Wish I would have been better about posting as the build came along, but life seems to always get in the way! 0930161013_HDR by Kyle Barber, on Flickr 0930161010 by Kyle Barber, on Flickr 0930161012 by Kyle Barber, on Flickr 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Made the stand out of Maple myself, and it sure was a fun project but nonetheless a pain the [language filter] haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jorge Posted October 1, 2016 Share Posted October 1, 2016 Sweet build! The stand and control management is outstanding! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nanoreefer17 Posted October 1, 2016 Author Share Posted October 1, 2016 Thanks for the feedback! I'm stoked to get the corals mounted and see how things start growing in. Touche on the control management, this is my makeshift vertex sump! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisQ Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 Super clean looking! Nice work! What is being dosed? I see you have a reactor setup, are you using the doser to dose aminos or trace or something like that? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nanoreefer17 Posted October 2, 2016 Author Share Posted October 2, 2016 Super clean looking! Nice work! What is being dosed? I see you have a reactor setup, are you using the doser to dose aminos or trace or something like that? Thanks a bunch! Corals have already colored up noticeably since the move. I currently have the dosing pump adding Kent Tech M 20ml/day, Acropower 5ml/day at night, and Seachem Fuel 5ml during peak photo period. I am also dosing 10ml of reef energy A & B twice weekly, and Reef Chili once a week. I just feed Hikari and Rods food to the fish. Trying to mimic Arsonmfg in terms of dosing to be quite honest, so some credit to him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoparFan2016 Posted October 3, 2016 Share Posted October 3, 2016 Looks great, very nice setup! I also like how organized everything is in the sump section. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G935A using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nanoreefer17 Posted February 19, 2017 Author Share Posted February 19, 2017 Pickup up some nice sps at Bob Moore today, work has kept me distracted from the tank for awhile, so ended up losing a couple peices, I think partially due to cycling and stabilizing. Adding a media reactor to manage chemistry, and have had awesome growth on a handful of corals. If these new sps adapt nicely I will be looking to add a few more. Pictures to come!

Thanks for asking, I just posted this today. Not exactly a good update but would love some input! I will add more photos and maybe some coral photos soon, growing nicely!
