Scuzy's new 210 Build

[scuzy]

Thought i start my thread here as i tear down my old 210 Aqueon since i lost my battle with bryopsis. In the mean time i was able to convince the wife to get a new tank.


Crystal Dynamics 210 3 side starfire glass tank with coast to coast over flows with euro bracing..
Trigger System Emerald 39 sump.
Vertex Illumina 360 lighting with Reefbrite Actinic Supplment LEDS
Skimz SM253 Skimmer
Vertex RX‑C 6D Calcium Reactor
Aqua UV 57w UV
waveline 10000 II DC return pump
Dual Gyre GF150
Vortech MP60
Poseidon Ozone
Apex Controller


my old 210 build is here. here (http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2044859)

Basically i am starting over taking everything down. and recycling what i can bleaching all the previous equipment and cleaning it all out. Will post more pictures as more progress comes along.

Old tank is coming down. Will be reusing the stand for this build.

design of the new canopy hanging from the ceiling.

[aannas]

Hi Scuzy, looks nice... Question, what was the software app that you used for the design pics you posted here?

[scuzy]

Google sketchup

[aannas]

cool thanks, that is what I am using... I thought it looked familiar lol

[kyle.nagel13]

Just a thought, tell me to shove it if you want, but instead of hanging the canopy, could you attach it to the wall with maybe a piano hinge? You could add a couple chains from the wall to the front edge to help support it. It would make a really clean presentation.

I'm still new to all this, but you should still be able to get in to do maintenance because of the hinges.

Maybe I'm out in left field, I just like the clean lines of your stand, and thought it might be doable.

[scuzy]

I was thinking about that but there's weight of the light and canopy it is worrying me that it might fall down..

[scuzy]

i might attach it like this to the wall

[kyle.nagel13]

You could run a light weight cable or chain from 3/4 of the way out from the wall back to anchors in the wall. Basically, make a 45 degree triangle. For example if your canopy is 2' wide, install eye bolts 18" from the wall, then put the anchors in the wall 18" up from the top of the canopy. As long as you hit studs, it should carry it.

It may be more trouble than its worth, but it would be a very clean install.

[scuzy]

http://gallery.got-rice.com/Other/New-210-Crystal-Dynamics/i-2BWTqHk/0/XL/mycannopy-5-XL.png

maybe anchor it and have a pulley to raise it ?

Put the sump into the stand to test see how it will fit.

[rickztahone]

That is as nice looking sump. TFS

[scuzy]

Yes Trigger Systems Sumps are bad *** i have the 34" model under my 70 now this 39" is even more roomier.

high end price tag, but for a high end sump. Love seeing these sumps being used more often. Can't wait to see your finished product.

[scuzy]

yeah i love these sumps. the compartments are thought out really well. I am going to start my wiring work tonight as i got my wire harnesses in from amazon.

[scuzy]

Looks really good! I love the stand, beautiful craftsmanship!

[scuzy]

Thanks my brother and i built it like 5 years ago. It's now hosting my second tank.

[mnkykng77]

Awesome rebuild scuzy! Did you get the Trigger sup from Neptune?

[scuzy]

Got it from premium aquatics during black Friday sale.

[mnkykng77]

Ahhh nice! Can't wait to see the progression on the tank. I'm hoping to get my new family room tank up sometime this year haha

[scuzy]

Oh yeah lets see your build thread i wanna see how that comes along.

Got some plumbing done. Bean animal overflow installed. System is quiet.

[scuzy]

Waveline dc12000 at full blast and the bean animal is able to handle the flow

[reev]

Tank & sump are looking great. Tagging along

[psidriven]

Looks damn sexy. Any particular reason you went with returns over the rim instead of running them in your overflow box to keep top of tank cleaner looking?

[hyacinth]

Cool--nice to see you got your new tank Andy.

It's easier to make a siphon break this way. So far I like it will be doing the canopy next and pushing the tank back to the wall since plumbing is good.

[scuzy]

Thanks Alan I can't wait to get it up and running.

[zoasguy]

As someone who is a year and a half from graduating, I can't wait to have the money for an amazing build like this!

[DivingTheWorld]

Awesome tank and good looking set up! I can't wait to see it filled up with corals (NO BRYOPSIS!!). :lol:

[scuzy]

Thanks yeah this time around it better not have bryopsis. Been such a hard battle.

[biecacka]

Awesome looking tank. Sorry about the last tank tear down but this one is coming along great!

Corey

[scuzy]

Thanks. I just ran more cables and configure the uv flow. Will drain the tank this weekend and get it back into the wall position. Hopefully I will have the light canopy base attached to the wall beams. Then I can put the sand in and get the the ro/di water filled. Start my cycle.


I got a bunch of rocks in the bin finishing soaking after bleaching it a few weeks ago. Next is to dry them out and start using my Marco E400 to sculpt a few pieces into a shape I like and creat my rock sculpture. This will be pretty fun.

I won't have much time to work on his next week as I will be in Hawaii to get away from the Super Bowl traffic nightmare that weekend. I hope to resume work on this guy and have the house start looking clean again. The Mrs. Is starting to complain about fish stuff everywhere. :)

[jbvdhp]

Thanks yeah this time around it better not have bryopsis. Been such a hard battle.


Sorry to hear, I'm sure you've tried Tech M, and if you have I'm surprised it hasn't worked for you. Seems to be working for many, including myself, albeit slow.

I hope you never get that god awful scum again. Nice reboot!!!

Thanks for the compliment.

[mushroomhead]

When I started reading your original tank build thread, I wondered if you would end up regretting the 160 pounds of sand. Are you still using a DSB in the new tank? I have been battling a GHA/bryopsis, or dino problem for months, and have been told the nutrients from my sand bed are feeding the algae.

[scuzy]

I will be using black sand in the new build butba very shallow layer. Like maybe 100lbs instead of 200 in the last build.

[mushroomhead]

Looking forward to seeing the new setup. Are you still keeping the QT next to the display?

[scuzy]

Yeah the qt is still next to the main tank.

[scuzy]

Working ok my floating canopy base today. Will mounting it to the studs on the tomorrow hopefully.

[scuzy]

Got a little work done today. I got the base to my floating canopy on. Now pushed the tank into its spot. Also started putting all the reactors back in.

[rickztahone]

Very nice. Love the floating canopy idea. Will you put it on rails so that it moves forward and back when you need to service the tank?

[scuzy]

Actually the canopy will slide in and will have hanging support in the front case i need to do some work in the tank.

[scuzy]

here is a sketchup of what my canopy will do

this should allow me to raise and lower the canopy via two attach support wires.

No electric pulleys powered by your Apex? J/K, really cool design.

Bump for a nice build!

[scuzy]

Thanks just got back from Hawaii and now the build continues. I was pretty bum that i didn't get to snorkel at Hamauna Bay since they had a power issue and closed the park. i would of gone diving but i found that my dive mask had a leak and decided i didn't want to rent a mask and also leave my pregnant wife by herself.

Don't be, you made very wise decisions! Just another reason for you to go back. It's good you made that pregnant wife first!

Now go back to work and finish that tank :lolspin:

[DarthReefer27]

Question about putting your probes in the sump. i am also setting up an emerald sump (mine is the 34). have you already tried putting your probes in the built-in probe holder? they don't seem to fit very well. i have only tried the temp probe so far but it doesn't seem to fit in any of the holes. thoughts? your build looks great, by the way!

[scuzy]

Thanks i only use orp, ph, and conductivity probes in the holder. I don't. Put the temp probe in there. I also have a emerald 34 on my 70 oceanic tech tank and never really put the temp probe in there. I have the temp probe in the overflow in that one as well.

I love my Trigger Systems sump, but I found the probe holder(s) to be inadequate. Instead I used the Neptune magnetic holder and it holds all my probes perfectly, nice and solid.

i am also thinking of getting the innovative marine custom cradle XL. that looks like the 1 probe holder to hold them all.

ah, I see what you did with the canopy now. It is kind of a track for the light to land on. I thought it was going to pull forward and back. I like this idea, very smart design. TFS

Yes the tracks helps make it floating and the added support wires on the top to help prevent it from drooping forward due to the weight.

**** I almost had a fire last night as the power blipped last night the return pump power supply breaker went off , but my apex thinks the socket is on. So heater was on in the overflow where there is no water. Woke up at 4 am cause of stomach ache and notice the smell. Good thing it only burned the heater casing and there was still water in the over flow to not let anything else burn through. Realize I forgot to add in a extra lines of code on the heater programming to shut off when sump level float trips. Reason why I am investing in the new apex to send me alert when a socket is on but not sensing any power draw. Also adding in a float in my overflow to sense no water and shut off heater.

Thought i start my thread here as i tear down my old 210 Aqueon since i lost my battle with bryopsis. In the mean time i was able to convince the wife to get a new tank.



Isn't that a little drastic for a hair algae solution. :);)

[CrayolaViolence]

Cause I don't want I risk any diseases coming until my system. The formalin bath is part of my quarantine protocol.


Very wise.

If only flucanazole was known to kills bryopsis back then. I had bryopsis all over tank couldn't get rid of it. And it killed org all my corals.

Sea Hares are awesome for hair algae removal. When I have one in my tank I never have hair algae. And you can sustain them with tried algae, like what you'd feed tangs, when you don't have enough hair algae to feed them.

If only it was hair algae. Bryopsis is a whole different beast.

Black sand makes colors pop. I loved it.

Just found your redo thread. I appreciate the redo aspect (I just rebuilt my 300g truvu acrylic with a tank built by CDA...am very happy with the tank. I went with ghost overflow instead of C2C). Anyway, fantastic build...love the attention to detail. Great collection of fish. Where do you source your wrasses from?

[scuzy]

Thanks. I source them mostly from zoacollector. Colin an awesome guy.

I love the black sand!!!!!! You are 100% correct it really helps everything pop!

Can I ask what's the inside height of your stand?

[scuzy]

36 inches inside height.

Bummer. Any idea what killed it, or was it just a random wrasse death?

Not sure he was doing great in ttm. And on my last transfer to quarantine tank for final two weeks observation he hid. Had to go out that night but couldn't see him in the cam. Next day when I got home he was under rock. Later on that night I saw it's body. So really no idea. The other 6 wrasses in same quarantine tank are all swimming around.

How did you like the bacto reef balls, doesn't seem it's working as expected for chaeto reactor is deployed instead.

[scuzy]

Actually my parameters are perfect so in a way I think it's working. I used the chaeto reactor to maintain ph.
