I live in the Northwest Hills area around 2222 and mopac.

Actually still one big rock left.   We could not break it apart. The water is pretty cloudy right now.  Has a big shelf monti-on it. 4 rose bubble tip anenomes, 1 acro, 1 millipora.  will take another picture when the water clears up but here is where it came from in the orginal picture.  Legend picked most of it up because he emptied his 90 gallon.  (this is a pretty big rock everyone)

I will have some fish to sell if anyone is interested in 3 pajama cardinals $40 for trio, a mystery wrasse $40, a six line wrasse $20 (he is little), a blue spotted jaw fish $100.  Domino clown pair $75.

All of the rock and coral has been picked up,  thank you all for your interest and time. 

It seems like someone is coming to take it all will update here in 30 minutes.

Thank you for your patients.

Everything just needs a new home.  I am tearing down the tank.  Will sell all of the equipment afterwards.  Trying to get rid of like rock and corals during the week Sunday Feb 27-Friday March 4th.  I am not going to lie I have had red bugs and aiptasia before, so please use your best judgement and quarentine if you want to.  I have always used natural measures to try and take care of them so 6 line wrasse for red bugs and file fish or shrimp for the aiptasia (so no guarantees they are all gone).  You can take frags of the corals if you want, I really have to work during the week so whatever harvesting needs to happen will be on whoever wants the coral.  I also always did my best to buy aquacultured corals from live aquaria for the most part.  It will be first comes first serve, I am not going to hold anything for anyone.  Just PM me and I will share my cell phone, I work from home so pretty much most hours are fine to stop by.

Thanks so much man picked up 2 this morning unfortunately.

Just wanted to give a massive thanks already to Wes at intrinsic reefs for helping me break this down on a holiday.

Breaks my heart but I think its best for the livestock, Bring cash we will talk about price I will make you a cheap fair deal.

Tank has been up and running for over a year everything is nice and healthy.  Most of these fish came from Live Aquaria and Divers den so they were all quarantined before and have never shown any signs of ich.  I am going to be breaking down the tank today and putting live stock in holding tanks.  Anything that is not sold today will be going to local fish stores.  The equipment will be sold later.

Fish:

3x bartlet anthias I think they are all females not sure but I bought them as a trio

Yellow tang

Powder Blue tang

2x Ocellaris Clownfish

Curacao Chromis (You can see him here https://reefbuilders.com/2014/09/17/face-liveaquaria-kevin-kohens-fish-collection-part-2/#) <not my fish but very similar

Starry Blenny

Orange stripe Prawn Goby

2x hoeven's wrasse male and female

1x potters angle

1x purple firefish

Coral I don't even know where to begin here.  I need to run up and get my holding tanks but I will try to post later some of the items I have.  Most came from WWC, Live Aquaria and Austin aqua farms.

Here is a current tank shot, I just turned the lights on out of cycle this morning to snap the photo so not everything is open and full but it will give you an idea.

GFO & carbon small feed to calcium reactor. I have 3 two little fishies 150's that I think are all going by the way side. Thinking about buying 2 nextreef MR1's for replacements.

1300 gallons for return
reactors 150 GPH = 300
600 for Fast flow refugium
150 for low flow refugium
1500 gallons for chiller (1/4 Hr JBJ)

Currently have.
1260 @ 4 foot 500 65 w for fast flow refugium
1250 @ 2 foot 277 28 w reactors

Leaving about 3000 gallons per hour needed, so the dart/snapper would work.

I like that idea. It would be interesting to come up a solution for plumbing to feed some of my other reactors ect. Also not sure I will have the floor space. So let's say the mag is like 115 watts or so. Does mean the equivalent heat of like 100 watt light bulb is added to the water? If it is an external much less heat is added correct? Not mention this is in the garage. Realistically I can tee it off and valve the reactors, they already have valves. Might be easier than I think it sounds.

Yeah I realized that about about 11:30 while last night trying to go to sleep. The MP10 won't even handle 3/4" glass. Made the adjustments and 2x mp40's on the way. Now I just need to decide on a return pump. I was thinking a Mag 18. At 5' of head it delivers 1200 Gallons per hour which is 9X turn over for the 130G. The Skimmer has 2x Sicce PSK-1000's which do 880 GPH so they will be able to process all of the overflow.

Oh and probably will be selling 2x MP10's as well the ones I am using on my tank currently.

Thats awesome, and that is exactly what my wife thinks! I think I have the bug.

Sorry ya'll, looks like I am going to make the jump...

On order 130G DSA 48x24x27 3/4" extra clear glass, single overflow on the top center, with the return on the sides and a pvc bottom. 2x xr30w pro radions, 2 more mp10s, and a reef octopus extreme xs250. I am going to custom make the stand and the sump and refugium will be in the garage.

If anyone is interested in a used ADA 90P or a euroreef RS80 skimmer please let me know.

Will keep you posted should be 2 weeks or so before the tank is ready and another month or so before I will get everything transfered over.

Need some advice....

Wife saw a 90 Gallon and we have enough room for it. Comes with a stand & a canopy. There is part of me that really needs wants to upgrade to be able to house a tang(responsibly), and also have a canopy where fish can't jump out. There is also part of me that loves my rimless tank. Don't know what to do...

Thoughts anyone please?

Built about 1/3 of the stand this weekend, got most of the framing done. So much easier with a good plan and 2x4's.

Got the Ecotech XR30w PRO in today and alot of schedule 80 plumbing from BRS.

Got my 3x 29 gallon tanks coming in tomorrow.

I need to pick a laminate color to cover the stand in.

Will take some unboxing photos of my new light and post. Thing is pretty sexy!

Looking good man! I made some phone calls and yeah you were right $1000 for that stand... Changed my mind! Would love to see a shot of the fuge.

Update and plans for the future!

Tank is doing great, battling a bit of Cyano at the moment on my sand. I think mainly due to it being completely exposed to the air during the move. Possibly as well from switching to bio balls and turning off GFO. (Phosphates rose) Have since added GFO back & turned up the vortechs. (seems to be dying back)

Anyways I have a major renovation planned and here are the goals.

Biological filtration from 2 different zones of a reef
Pod reproduction and feeding of the display from the refugium without being destroyed by a pump
Increase Lighting
Increase Water Volume, Quality & Stability
Increase Aesthetic
Increase Bioload in Display
Decrease Sound

Decrease Day to day maintenance

Here is the plan to accomplish those goals.

I am going to buy the ADA cabinet that goes with the tank and get rid of my plain metal garden stand. (aesthetis)

Purchasing the new Ecotech XR30w PRO to replace my 175W metal Halide with rigged LEDS & Moon Lights. Hang it from the ceiling. (Mainly Lighting & Aesthetic)

I am going to get rid of my indoor sump and move it out into the garage.

The return will get split between a refugium & a cryptic zone tank, both being 20 Gallon Tall tanks sitting above the display in the garage.(to gravity flow through a wall into the display) The return pump will be an eheim 1262, with the majority of the flow to head into the refugium. The refugium will have chaeto, mangroves & 1” of miracle mud, and be lit by a Kessil 8K.

The cryptic tank will have a front section of live rock and a back section of layers of egg crate to grow sponges & worms. It will be lit by 2 ice cap moonlights I bought a long time ago.

I am going to add the spectrapure dosing system to add carbon & aquavitro Fuel to the tank on regular basis.

I am also going to add a Mixing tub to make my water changes easier and faster.

Overall the total reno should run me about $3000.

I will try to keep it all posted and up to date as I go.

Cheers

What stand did you buy? I am in the process of saving for the ADA cabinet. (Its only $$$ Right)

Have to say if there was a battle of the ada tanks, scaping, corals colors... I lose. Hats off my friend well done.

Amano himself needs to put your tank in his display.

For anyone who is not suscribed and wants to know what true aquascaping is about...

Take a look!

Thanks Vict!

speaking of with a person that has the same tank... I have and am guessing a total water volume of about 60-70 Gallons & just started up the biopellets. I overskim, and have a refugium lit 24/7. Also use carbon. Sooo I just recently added all of those fish... at the same time... I know I know, but really got lucky and the dome has some good stock.

So that being said, being responsible...

6 line wrasse max 3 inches

Occelaris clown max 3.5 inches

Chromis max 3 inches

Orange stripe prawn goby max 4.5 inches

Total 14 fish inches...

5 gallons per fish inch = 70 Gallons needed (on the conservative side)

3 gallons per fish inch = 70 gallons would equal 23 fish inches.

i.e. I could add 9 more...

I was thinking a dwarf lemonpeel angel, but i was going to wait until everyone gets settled.

Thoughts?

Happy 1 year be-lated-ish birthday... Its so hard to keep track of these things. Many amazing things have happened with the tank and I have learned so much. Changes in hardware, Livestock and even location. The tank is doing better than it ever has been. The corals, fish and all the other live stuff are really moving into full gear and I notice daily changes in the tank.

Everything started off seemingly pretty slow. Adding sand & rock, letting it "cure" and stabilize the tank, adding a few corals here and there. Getting my first pair of fish a pair of domino clowns. Trying to keep up with water maintenance and flooding my house a few times. Thanking my wife for putting up with my addiction and I think if she hears the words "making water" one more time she will FLIP! Adding a anemone, maxima clam and sps corals are so exciting.(having them live and flourish is even better)

For those interested in the hobby here are my 4 lessons I learned.

1. When they say its all about keeping your water parameters consistent, they aren't joking. EVERYTHING in the tank benefits from it in a visual and almost seemingly instantaneous way. To add to that the smaller the tank the harder keeping those parameters in check is. I will say I think I have finally come up with a system that fully supplies the tank with everything it needs for success, and my method for doing so unfortunately is to incorporate lots of hardware. 4 items that have helped in my success here lately are chiller, calcium reactor, kalk reactor and biopellet reactor. The combination of all 4 of those has made the tank so much happier. All of those enable me to do less day to day task and sit back more and enjoy.

2. The amount of "energy" that goes into the display tank to make things thrive is truly amazing. I don't mean my energy I am referring to the food & minerals that all of those things in the tank need to flourish. It gives me a whole new perspective on our oceans and how much of an energy producing/consuming engine it is. Alkalinity, Calcium, Magnesium, Phytoplankton, Zooplankton, Amino Acids, Carbon, Bacteria, the list goes on about what you need to add almost on a daily basis, not just to be successful but to create a similar habitat to what these animals have in our oceans. They all need to be in balance.

3. Patience... I wish I had more... nough said.

4. Moving a reef tank is scary and something I don't wish for anyone. You need experience because it is unlike anything as far as just building it. Hire a professional, I did. Mason the Fish Whisperer is the man. I had zero fatalities.

I have 4 fish now which I so love. For a while there I had none, as the 3 I had over time had jumped out. I really think in hindsight that my water quality was bad and I was making some rookie mistakes. Don't by an expensive pair of fish when you are just starting out. Start small and buy the expensive ones later.

Anyways I have the ubiquitous clown fish,

chromis,

6 line wrasse

orange stripe prawn goby

Maxima clam

Rose bubble tip anemone

Poreclain Crab

2 Peppermint Shrimp

1 Fighting Conch

All different kinds of snails

A few hermit crabs

& SPS LPS & Softies...

Just wanted everyone who hadn't had a chance to see it to have a look and enjoy.

Also give a shout out to the peeps at Aquadome. Thank you!!!

Cheers

I love the sketchup work and the rendering. The idea is fantastic as it is very unique and allows for a wide range of creatures... The only thing I might bring up and please don't take this as a criticism, is the tanks orientation in the room. I would venture to say the original tank shown in the picture, works best as a peninsula. I would just have a hard time looking at that tank from the sofa... I would feel like I was always looking at the system from the side. 2 ways to correct it for me would be switch the orientation of the shelf/ and or drop the front side of the 1st shelf down. Its hard to describe but you would in essence be making a side shelf and a front shelf. If that is the goal of the entire tank, then my apologies as I just missed it but I thought I would throw it out there. Our tanks are our centerpieces.

Cheers
