Reefsakes Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 Hello all. I have been oitbof the hobby for about 11 years and now have a 30g cube to temporarily satisfy my itch. Working on a 80g sca system 32x24x20 display. I'm nearly done with it just waiting on a few things. It will be controlled with apex and ecotech gear. Finished my NSA aquascape a couple days ago. I think it came out decent. Lmk what you think. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

susp1cious Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 VERY nice setup. Welcome to the group. I'm in Olympia, finally someone near me. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gumby Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 Welcome. Like the aquascape. I hope one day since there no saltwater clubs up North maybe our club can someday help start a northern branch of our club. Be one club but help Notherners get going again. Just a thought.

Emerald525 Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 Oh very nice ! I love how clean it looks with the rock work and the arrangement of the Apex and dos.🥰 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reefsakes Posted December 8, 2020 Author Share Posted December 8, 2020 Thanks everyone. Since I have time to stare at my aquascape. This thing keeps growing lol. I thought I would balance out some areas. Added a couple more archs and ledges and still have lots of negative space within the structure. Does it look too much?

Reefsakes Posted December 10, 2020 Author Share Posted December 10, 2020 Got my other apex energy bar in. Waiting on another dos/ddr set. 2 Radion xr15 and m2 return should be here tomorrow. Put the aquascape in the tank to see the final layout. Getting closer to getting it wet. Maybe in a week or 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reefsakes Posted December 11, 2020 Author Share Posted December 11, 2020 (edited) The rest of the gear is here. Almost time to get this bish wet! And my wife approves the waterbox 320.7 that will go into the dining room! Win! Edited December 11, 2020 by Reefsakes 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reefsakes Posted December 13, 2020 Author Share Posted December 13, 2020 Gear cabinet starting to come together nicely. Thought about getting those fancy brackets to hold all the power bricks but velcro and a couple screws did the trick and looks clean. I relocated the ecotech pump controllers to the front where the American dj power strip is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reefsakes Posted December 15, 2020 Author Share Posted December 15, 2020 Got the controller center cabinet all wired up nicely. Labeled and ran all cords with velcro so I can individually just stick it out of the way neatly but easy to take cords out if needed. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manny Tavan Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 Thats a lot of gear to run a 80gallon tank...24 outlets total. I think I have less than that between my waterbox 190.5 and Red Sea reefer 170 lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reefsakes Posted December 21, 2020 Author Share Posted December 21, 2020 I think I'm done dry fitting the plumbing. Bean animal drains and return has 2 ports to run reactors later down the road. Am I missing anything? Thanks for the help 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
