Sascha D. Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 Looks pretty good! This whole time I thought the tank on the right was an ATO reservoir, but it's actually a refugium. It looks like you've T'd off of the return line and it's going to gravity feed back into the return chamber? The aquascape looks great! Love the extra room along the perimeter.

It is a 16g 14x14x20 Lifereef remote fuge. I am a fan of a large fuge. I did drill and plumb a second “emergency” drain. I purchased a decently oversized return pump to help feed the fuge and manifold. Thanks I love the extra room too! Every other tank I’ve had has been crammed full! I am having a matching cabinet built to go next to the tank for my ATO and electronics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wanted the 60” but I had the Lifereef fuge already. The difference in 48” and 60” new price just wasn’t justifiable in my situation....

dustint21 Posted December 16, 2017 Author Share Posted December 16, 2017 Setup a make shift paint area in my shop yesterday. Got the first couple coats of spar varnish put on. Hopefully I will get it all sanded today and the final coat applied. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
