Wow, even without water, it's looking real good. Specs? What's the smaller light by the sides? Where did you get the bulb stands?

[Elliott89]

Thank you :)

Skimmer is an Aqua Medic Turboflotor 500

Return pump is the new Aqua medic nanoprop 5000

and im going to put a Hydor Korallia or Tunze Nanostream in as well for flow i have both spare so i will have a play around with it

The lighting is a Par38 quadspec 36 watt Led and the two smaller units are Aqua Medic LED aquasunspots :)

[maddiericola]

Is the skimmer huge? I don't think I seen it in the photos

Where did you get the light stands? I have a par38 bulb that I put in a $8 flood light clamp on thing from home depot as a temporary fix until I found something like yours

Hey there. Very nice set up you got going on. Would you mind explaining how you achieved the transfer so well. I'm thinking about transfering to another tank myself but Im not sure on the tips and secrets of doing it lol.

[Elliott89]

Use as much as your original water and live rock as you can as you don't want to do anything to drastic in one go

Any new water make sure is mixed in temperature and SG just like if you're doing a water change,also don't rush anything take a change over slow and steady!

Its looking good.
I am looking to purchase a few of the aquasunspot bulbs over my shallow tank. Just looking for the right lamp for them.

[Elliott89]

They are really nice looking lights i think i've been impressed with them :)

looks great how think is that glass?

[the lars]

as I have the same tank I will answer that question :) it´s 6mm thick..opti white for the front and two sides
are u going barebottom Elliott?

[Elliott89]

Yes i'm keeping it Barebottom as i have a lot of flow in there now and i don't want sand blowing about continuously,also means i can siphon the bottom every few days keeping it super clean and nutrients nice and low as i want my SPS to get nice colours :)

[cbonito]

Those little pendants are gorgeous. They have a very cool look to them. This looks like it's going to be a very nice tank.
Keep going!

[Elliott89]

Thanks a lot :D i hope to add some frags in the next few weeks so i'll be updating again soon

[Chaotic Reefer4u]
