My new setup - Marineland 150 Deep Dimensions

[romanr]

I've been asked about my new tank upgrade and I think I'm finally ready for a grand opening. I've now had a reef tank setup continuously since 2003. Live rock and some of the corals from the '03 setup are still part of my current setup. In the beginning it was a 29, then a 65, and now a Marineland 150 deep dimensions cube. I lost all my fish during this last upgrade due to a pump failure to one of the holding tanks so I have all new fish but the rock, sand & corals all made it over to the new setup. Over the years my setup has progressed from a Berlin skimmer and one powerhead to the current setup which includes the following.

The Hardware:
150 Deep Dimensions Marineland Cube (standard glass all around) 36' X 36' X 27'
Custom-made stand build out of 2 X 4's and skinned with 3/4" birch. Stand is 32 in high (nice for both seated and standing viewing)
400W Magnetic ballast running XM 20K SE bulb in Hello Lights spider reflector
29g all-glass tank for a sump (no dividers, 4 X 8 filter sock, filled with Bio-Chem Zorb)
Eshopps S150 Cone skimmer with collection cup overflow prevent flow. Air fed from outside house.
Kent reactor with Brightwell's Katalyst bio pellets
Mini Arctica chiller
150w Hydor Theo heater
Vortech MP10 w/ Icecap battery backup, set to full blast in long pulse mode with the longest pulse interval setting.
Scicce Syncra 3.0 return pump, fed to tank via lockline nozzle which is pointed in the same direction as the Vortech to create a gyre-style flow.
AC3 controller w/ ATO float control, pH, ORP, Temp monitoring and control, Internet web control and monitoring, 3 Waterbug Flood sensors on floor.
15g Kalk top-off reservoir controlled by AC3 (Brightwell’s Kalk +2 used)
4-stage 75 gallon/day RO unit, with 32g auto-fill reservoir
Misc items: Overflow float shutoff, Neptune breakout box, Eheim auto-feeder, 8 on/off switches for manual power control of equipment. Custom-made screen top.

Aquascaping:
Minimalist-style setup with only half of the tank's bottom having live rock.
Other half of tank bottom is covered with a slopped 8 inch mixed substrate (aragonite reef blend, Florida crushed coral, Oolite sand). Substrate is colonized by various worms (spaghetti, bristle & others). 25% of substrate came from my 65 setup and had been alive and well for years.
75% of tank's inside volume is empty swim space for fish.
100 lbs of live rock from my previous aquarium setups.

[fote03]

Where are the pictures?

[romanr]

Quality is not great, I just can't seem to figure out how to take pictures that reflect what I'm seeing with my eyes. I'm going to have to schedule a photoshoot with Jim sometime soon. Anyway, here are some of the pics I took today.

Your tank is beautiful Raul. You put a lot of TLC into and it shows!

[bsagecko]

Very unquie selection with the garden eels a very nice species and specimens you have

Also the orange spot tilefish are a rare find for long term captives...

[jimnrose]

Raul, the tank looks great & good photography.
Merry Christmas, Jim

[usatennisfan]

Holy mushrooms, Batman!
Awesome tank!

[fote03]

Nice! The deep sand bed on one side/corner is a cool idea and look! U went wild with the power strips...is it one strip pre outlet on ur DC8?

[shiloh7]

Very cool slope and overall setup! We just set up a 150 Deep Dimension tank last month as well. Really like this tank.

Just curious about your screen top. I wanted to build something like that, but I wasn't sure exactly how to go about it. How did you make yours and would you mind posting a photo of it?

Thanks!

[romanr]

Nice! The deep sand bed on one side/corner is a cool idea and look! U went wild with the power strips...is it one strip pre outlet on ur DC8?
Correct. I just wanted to be able to plug in multiple devices to a DC8 outlet (more than 1 heater, etc.) and I wanted the ability to manually shut stuff off if I wanted to (that way I don't have to go on-line or use the AC3 front panel. I know I could have gone a different route but this was nice and cheap and got the job done.

I'll see if I can get a picture for you tonight. The screen top was easy and all materials were purchased @ Lowes (or was it Home Depot?). It was fairly inexpensive. 2 10ft aluminum screen frames, 2 sets of 4 plastic corners, 25ft of spline, spline tool, bird screen from the garden section (I was able to find one with smaller than 1/2in holes, it was a translucent green color). I used a hacksaw to cut the aluminum frame pieces and that was about it. I actually made to screen tops, one about 2 X 3 ft and the other 1 X 3 ft. That way I can remove the smaller 1 x 3 ft section for most access needs.

[airwaybill]

Looks good man!! I like the garden eels.

[romanr]

Thank you all for the nice comments. I took a few more pics with a better camera so I hope they look better. Below each picture is a link to the high-resolution version of the picture. Also one of the pictures will have 2 links after it and this smiley :jester: ,that is the one that manages to capture all my fish in the frame. See if you can spot them all. The link with this :jester: smiley next to it will show you where all 10 are.

R your file fish eating?

[romanr]

yes, with great vigor!

[romanr]

Updates to tank.
Hardware:
Now running 400W Radium MH on a Hamilton HQI Pulse Start Magnetic Ballast with 156W Wavepoint T5 fixture with 2 Superblue Wave bulbs and 2 Coral Wave bulbs. Also now using a Magnavore reactor with 16oz of Pura Complete which is changed monthly.
Aquascaping:
Added 15 lbs of aragonite and 15lbs of Florida crushed coral to make a bigger deep sand section for the Garden Eels. Note really aquascaping but I painted the 2 sides of the glass that face the walls a Royal Blue color.
Feeding:
I now have the Eheim feeder feeding 4 times per day in 3 hour intervals.

[airwaybill]

No pics with new lighting?

[romanr]

[Patrick2DX]

WOW!! Nice tank Raul, BTW are the Garden eels hard to keep??

[romanr]

Thank you. The eels are not really difficult but you have to do your homework and provide them the right environment (8in sand-bed, current that brings food their way at the right speed, non aggressive tank-mates, etc.)

[romanr]

Have a few updates and as soon as I can get my computer situation straightened out(laptop crashed, switching over to an iPad) I will be uploading some new video and pics.

Right now I want to share some of the info from my controller which is now available on reeftronics.net. I've actually written an HTML page using the reeftronics' charts and also giving me full control of my controller. For security reasons I won't be sharing that one.:lmao:

Cool !!!

[romanr]

I finally got around to snapping some new pics and video. Tank and its inhabitants are starting to settle in pretty well and I think I'm done with new livestock acquisitions for a while. Some of the pics were taken with the flash and others without. There are a few actinics only shots. Click on the picture to link back to Flickr for a better description of the pics.

That is an outstanding tank! Thank you for sharing. I love the mix of species. Perfect the way it is, I wouldn't add a thing. Please keep us updated.

Even though you don't have any cephalopods, that tank makes me want to hum "Octopus' Garden" by the Beatles. :)

I got an iPad 2 and wanted to try out the video and the iMovie video editing software so here is my first attempt. It's a 15 minute survey of my tank shot and edited on the iPad in HD. It has a some feeding scenes and showcases the Yellow Fuzzy Dwarf Lionfish, the Orange Spotted / Harlequin filefish and the Spotted Garden Eels. All are doing really well.

I don't know why but this video refuses to embed in this thread but it works find in another RC thread. So Let's just do it the old fashioned way.

It's been a while since I've offered up an update so here is a short video of the eels at feeding time. Look for a surprise update over the next few days.
