    you could always buy two 75 gallon glass aquariums, take then apart and glue them back together on a plywood base. 4x4x2 tank.. $300 all in?

    And when that falls apart it will be tough to explain it to my wife...

    She actually has a fear of tanks exploding. When she was a kid her friends dad had a big tank that shattered for no apparent reason as she tells the story. So, she has been asking lots of questions about how you can be sure a tank will not explode. 

    The flip side is that she wants glass probably even more than me for clarity and scratch resistance.

    I think this sold - seem to recall someone up north posting about setting it up a while back - but worth a shot.  That was a great deal!


    I think it was acrylic... I remember seeing the post on it. I'd really like to have glass to avoid dealing with scratches if possible.

    I'm looking to set up a bigger tank and I like the look of the square tanks for viewing on multiple sides.

    Anyone out there looking to sell a tank or have a recommendation on where to order one?

    I'm looking for glass only.

    A 4x4x2 footprint (240g) would be ideal although I could go a little smaller depending on what might be available used.

    I've got some, Scott. I have pokerstar, sunset, appleberry, a little bit of superman, chili, and citrus mistress. Coming to the April 15 meeting?


    I'm interested in any of those if you are selling frags...I'll be at the April meeting, but not on the bus.

    Knock on wood but the longest we've lost power in the almost 3 years out here was about 3 hours. But I do have a generator setup to feed my panel of needed


    How does that work? Do you flip some breakers over and then fire up or do you have a big enough generator to run the whole house?

    Tank parameters: Salinity 1.025 | Alk: 9.3 | Temp 78 +/- 0.5

    Roughly 70 gallon system volume with just 2 clowns, a chromis and few inverts (low bio load for now). Dimensions are roughly 48x13x20. 

    Flow: Eheim 1262 return with SQWD, 2x Rossmonth Mover 1200s and koralia nano for total flow that is probably 50x turnover or more in the display when all are running at once but an APEX is driving some on/off patterns.

    Lights: 2x Ocean Revive t247 running at 25% channel 1 and 30% channel 2.

    Other: Small ATS and refugium with an overkill grow light, AquaC Remora Pro S skimmer, oversized Ca reactor Precision Marine CR622, and I run a small amount of GFO and carbon in separate reactors.  

    Maintenance: Weekly 5 gal water change using IO salt. Change the filter sock every 4 days. I put 1 tbsp of Kalk in my ATO water to offset some pH drop from the Ca reactor.

    My frag appears to be right about 7/8 inch with good polyp extension. There is a small side branch. This coral is sitting towards the center of the tank which is partially under a brace and between the two lights (top down shot had to be at an angle).

    (#1) No filter on the first picture--and this is from my iPhone.

    (#2) Top down--the frag is in the lower right.

    ?ui=2&ik=fff9169a69&view=fimg&th=15b3c43

    (#3) And with a filter:

    ?ui=2&ik=fff9169a69&view=fimg&th=15b3c43

     

    (#4) How about one more for polyp extension:

    ?ui=2&ik=fff9169a69&view=fimg&th=15b3c43
