Fish Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 Here is my 37g Seahorse tank. It was originally a Viaqua I purchased from Patrick 4-5 years ago. Can't seem to part from it. I retro the thing out three times over. Hang on sump with skimmer, live rock, 300w heater, and rio 1000 return pump. Current power compacts. 45 lbs of live rock - lots of soft corals - 2 orange ORA Reidi seahorses. mandarin goby (eats everything), tail spot blenny, cleaner shrimp, yellow sea cucumber, sea hare, a small clean up crew army lead by a tonga nassarius snail. My fish room was an idea from me and the support of my wife. I don't think she realize what she okayed me to do! I had to demo a couple walls and added another to make this. The tank is running, but it is a work in process like the rest of my house. 270 gallon aquarium. 6'x2'x3'. 150 lbs of live sand. 3' overflow (thanks Davy Jones Locker DJL), custom sump (thanks DJL), ASM 4xx skimmer, reeflow dart, reeflow barracuda pump, two 1" sea swirls, 2 400w halides, and a whole lot of PVC that made Lowes happy. I got a Truvu frag tank as a gift from my wife (thank you) and set that up also. 50g Truvu, sump, with skimmer, heater, Mag 9 return pump, 250w halides, and a few corals.

Beckie Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 Looks great....... Maybe I should have your wife talk to my hubby? Then again maybe not .... he'd just have me get rid of other stuff to make room. Beckie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smann Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 Tank Room..sweet.. I can only dream of one (drooler). I dont have any area in our house to do that, I would have to add on outside which may have to happen. Tanks look good and the inwall is on its way, keep up the pics as it progresses Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barelycuda Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 Seems to me that when I was looking at the tank today there was something different about the closed loop plumbing vs. the pictures, hmm Just kidding it looks awesome and I wish I had the room to do something like that also.

Fish Posted August 31, 2009 Author Share Posted August 31, 2009 Thanks for helping me with the close loop today Dave! I wasn't too happy spending $ for a Barracuda pump that wasn't flowing the way it should. Now if it was a 1966 Barelycuda maybe I'll understand...JUST KIDDING!!!

Fish Posted August 31, 2009 Author Share Posted August 31, 2009 It's a tank room/Laundry room. The only problem is that I am asked to switch around the laundry or fold some laundry since "I'm going down there to feed the fish." I should have planned the tank location a bit better. I hate laundry... I will send updated pics as I go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benny503 Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 I really like your plumbing, it's look so nice and clean. My tank is a lot smaller and I wish it could be that clean. Keep the pictures coming. Thanks, Benny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fish Posted September 2, 2009 Author Share Posted September 2, 2009 Right now my stuff are all too small to frag or trade yet. I am hoping to soon though. I'll be sure to contact you first when I'm ready to trade my green BN! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
