Nice rooms everyone. This thread is so old I'll have to take another pic. of my room.

[Entropy]

Pic of the viewing room, or the fish room? Mine is in wall, so the viewing side is much prettier than the other side. :D

Yea, very nice room indeed. Stand and canopy is pretty original too. Love it. :)

[edteach]

Thanks Brazengrrl and NexDog for the kind words. I love that room, spend lot$ of time in the lounge chairs that I moved to take the picture. The stand/cannopy are custom made and hand painted by the Martha Stewart of my house.

Is that hard maple? Did you build it yourself. I love the grain and sheen.

20k bulbs I assume?

[skier06]

yes I built it myself, its just maple ply actually. and they are 14k evc bulbs that arent quite that blue but I am horribly disappointed with them.

[FishFreak20]

Mine looks like a bedroom

[onefin]

Nice rooms.

[gallivanmk]

It is hard to tell in this pic but this is an elongated den. I am standing inbetween the couch (left) and a fireplace (right) with the entertainment center next to it.

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y202/GALLIVANMK/76649969.jpg

110 gallon is almost done cycling (hence the empty tank)

[FishFreak20]

Why is there no LR in it?

[gallivanmk]

I have live sand in the tank. The display is going to be just decorations and fish. Going to be switching some rubble to the sump from my 29.

I have been looking for this thread. Here is my updated tank room. It used to have a 200 gallon tank in it. Then the bottom broke and fell out. Now I have a 90 gallon tank and new carpet throughout my entire house.

[percula99]

Wow Pikey!! That's a real bummer about losing a 200 gallon tank. You must have lost a lot of stuff. Were you home at the time? How did it break? I am glad to see you have recovered though. Keep the faith!

[Rendos]

My wife and I were at work when it happened. By the time I got home, everything was pretty dry (except the carpet). The bottom glass broke and then proceeded to fall out. I lost almost everything, but I had a few corals, and clams survive.

[jdav]

my tank room looks like my living room.

All that water falling on those plugs. Lucky the house didn't go up in flames....

[bheron]

This is the setup I just took down for our move.

Scared the heck outta me each day it was up, but it never fell down!

This will be the sump in my new 220 setup.

[Rendos]

GFCI outlets probably saved me from losing everything.

Did the GFCI's pop or did the breaker pop?

[original-reefland]

Way back when this thread started I posted room pics and it was pretty much just 2x4 construction. I can finally post some updated pictures. The room still has some work to do such as covering the lolly columns and the tank opening needs to be trimmed and an access door added.

I started out with just four concrete slab walls for a basement.

Twin sliding glass doors out to a padio. The padio is about 20 feet from a lake. So keeps people in their boats from looking in at my fish.

i see a striper pole next to that tank

a pole that makes stripes?

The GFCI popped, not the circuit breaker.

A pole that makes stripes...like a barber pole?

[lossman]

Once we put the tank in the family room, we had to redecorate to coordinate the room with the tank. :) We went with a nautical theme. We are not quite finished but this gives a good representation of what it looks like.

FuriaReef, would that be Cal Poly by any chance? I'm hoping to go there next fall. By the way, is that school housing? My old school required us to turn off all power during winter breaks and spring breaks...which of course, would not allow for a tank. I would love to continue in the hobby while I'm in school, but the living arrangements of a student makes it quite difficult.

Finding Nemo, I am also a fan of plants in a room. I have been thinking of a way to do my basement with wall planters around the room that are tied into my main system with Mangroves in them, but in a way that you would never notice that they are part of the system...

Yep, I went from a 90 to a 220. Things went well with the transfer and now I use my 90 for the sump. I've also been working on a website with the steps of the upgrade (little easier to go through than the reefcentral thread.

:fish1: RJK :fish1:

[finding nemo]

SV. You should get some pretty palms for both sides of the tank and then add a few small potted plants right by them to even them out.
That would be so beautiful, or add a table the lenght of the tank but coffee table hight and put some plants on that with some shells.
Add a pretty rug in front of that and walla, more beautiful then it is allready.
I have plants by my tank, will take some new pics and post them now, makes a big difference to the room.

This thread is great...except that I have spent the whole morning reading it instead of getting my laundry folded. Here is my contribution.

My tank is a 125 tall room divider. We are in Army housing so we are really short on space. I don't know that a room divider was the best idea, but it sure is fun! Sorry about the dogs...can't seem to take a picture without the kids or dogs in it! :fun4:

My tank sitting room today 3-14 with a lot of plants for greenery.
To distract from the pretty green algae on the glass:)

Yeah, I'm pretty sure I need to buy a house.

But I'm only 22, and I don't think I could deal with a 150K mortgage over my head yet.

anyhow, my fish room is my living room and my entertainment room...

anyhow, couldn't find my tripod, so I just balanced the camera on my dinner table opposite of the room.

Tank is custom from Oceanic. Dimensions are 60" L x 36"D x 28"H. The house builder took special interest in the project for this was his first tank install. I had to work with the engineer to beef up the floor. The filter room is in the basement and worked out well. Thanks for the good words...it gives me some pull with my wife!!:D :D :D

[RevHtree]

Hey Tom do you have some more detailed info on your tank? Pics? From what I can see, your tank looks like a reef photograph. Man, very Nice as all of the posters here have shown.

Thanks.

[BryanJ]

Tom thanks for the information that is the size I wish I had. I have the the 120 which is 24 deep and as I was landscaping the tank I was sitting there thinking I wish it was 36 deep. I think my next tank will be 48x48x24. I have to wait for the kids to grow up and move out so I can customize the house more. :lol:

[TacoKing]

Nice looking tanks rooms.. I'm going to get a few pics of mine up tonight.

[tom obrecht]

RevHtree...well the tank has been up for a little longer than 2 years. Alot of the corals came from my old 180. I stick with all softies now. Went the SPS route but they are too touchy for my taste...even though they really are colorful. I have gotten into anthias and have roughly 60 fish in the system. The filter room, as I mentioned, is in the basement. The main sump holds about 50 gallons of water and I run a Deltec AP 902 skimmer along with a phosphate reactor to control the phosphate levels from the fish and feeding. A Korallin 3002 calcium reactor tries to keep up with the demands of the tank but I often have to add Cal Chloride and Mag Chloride to keep levels close. A refugium was added a few months back and holds about 35-40 gallons of water. 2-400 watt halides plus 4-VHO's consist of tyhe lighting system. Overall I really have enjoyed this project although the tank could use even more circulation (closed loop would be nice) and of course it could be bigger. Happy none the less with the final outcome. A few more pics of the system.

[sixxer]

Tom,

What size sump & refugium do you have running?

Also, what are the gray bands I see on the flex tubing? Clamps to hold it on normal PVC?

Very Clean Set-up all together.

[mille239]

I think those bands hold the plumbing to the wall.

[tom obrecht]

Sixxer...sump measures 48"L x 24"W x 18"H and it runs about 1/3 deep with water. The main pump is a Dolphin 4700. I have about 12' of head distance to the upstairs. The pump is awesome and has been great! The grey bands (clips) came from aquatic ecosystems. They work very well and are nice for if you ever need to undo the pipes they just unclip. They come in different sizes. They are on this page http://www.aquaticeco.com/index.cfm/fuseaction/listings.categories/ssid/316

[sixxer]

Thanks for the info Tom.

I bet your tank provides a great "Wow" Factor to people visiting your home for the 1st time.

[tom obrecht]

Yeah, it is a conversation piece. It was funny, when we first were building the house, people would tour the house as kind of a model. Getting ideas ect for their own homes. The house got nicknamed the "fish house" in the area for most people hadn't seen anything quite like it. I still laugh about it.

Hey Sixxer...I've followed alot of your post from years back. How's your tank doing?

Wildthing...I think the main gorg is Eunicea sp. and I also have some sea blades. I've had many of them for 6-8 years.

[sixxer]

Tore down the 300 gallon, still working on getting the 600 gallon trimmed out/plumbed/running

Hopefully it will turn out as nicely as yours did.

[technomex]

Nice to see this thread is alive again. Keep them comming.

Hey mille, what kind of beer do you keep in the beer tap. I love mine, it helps take the edge off after comming home from work.

Tom, took 2 days for my dialup to load the pics:) J/K:)
The fish in your tank are beautiful.
How many fish would you say I could keep in my 125?
I am not interested in the tangs other then the yellow or any of the larger growing fish. I like the damsels and clowns and such.
What do you think?
Also I dont not have a sump or fuge but do have a good hang on skimmer.
Just wondering.
Right now I have 10 fish.

[tom obrecht]

Finding Nemo I don't really like questions like this for I don't really know alot about your system, water quality, maintenance schedule, your likes and dislikes of fish ect, ect, ect. There is more to adding a bunch of fish to any system and each system has it's own strengths and weakness's. In honesty I really don't recommend overloading a system like I have. Too many issues to worry about. As you mentioned damsels and clowns really don't coincide together in groups the best in home aquaria unless you have a very large system. One thing I have found is that adding more load to any tank requires more time, more effort and more money.

[finding nemo]

Thanks Tom. I think I am at my limit anyway as there is plenty of swimming room and all get along great right now.
So will stick with what I have, and your right, depends on allot of different things.
But I sure would love to the have life in my tank that you have in yours, it actually looks like you are snorkling just under the oceans waves and looking down at a reaf.
Just amazing.
Thanks.

Tom. Seriously. I love my hard corals, but your tankk just looks so natural! The thing is that you see plenty of tanks that are cramed with sps and look great, you rarely see a tank that looks like yours. It really shows the beauty of softies. Can I fly out??

[Electrobes]

Hey Tom what are the total specs on your system? I too have a softie tank granted it's in the vicinity of about 1/7th your tank and well just not nearly as cool either ;)

- 270 REEF
- Deltec 902 SKIMMER
- CHILLER + (Heater?) + 2-way Ranco (What's you avg temp?)
- HALIDES 2-400 watt halides (What kind and color temp? Hours?)
- VHO'S 4-VHO's (Brand and wattage? Hours?)
- SUMP -> Deltec Skimmer, Korallin 3002 calcium reactor, Aqua Doser, (Is that a Kalk Reactor I see or a the Phosphate Reactor you mentioned?), (Return pump?)
- Refugium 35g-40g (What do you keep in there?)
- What are your typical routines - (Water change schedule and gallonage?, How much chloride do you dose on avg?)

Hmm... if you get the sense that I am using a rubber glove... that would be my bad.. as you can tell it's rare to see such a fantastic and large soft coral dominated tank. Any chance you'll build a website? :D

Hey Chris,

Your stand looks great. If you made it yourself can you tell me the make and model of that stain? I am refinishing the stand for my 135 and I love that color.

Thanks,
Dustin

[Red Sea Purple Tang]

Excellent job Chris!

[tom obrecht]

RevHTree...I always invite people over when they want to take a look. If your in the Omaha area give me a call and we can hook up. No problem!

Electrobes...WOW that's alot of info you want but let's see if I can get you some more.

Chiller is a 1/2 HP and keeps the temp between 77-79 degrees, I never have had a heater on the system...never had needed one.

Lighting is 2-400watt 10K Ushio bulbs run about 9 hours a day supplemented with 4-60" URI actinics run 10 hours a day starting 30 mins b/4 and after the halides start/stop.

The sump has a phosphate reactor in it and no kalkreactor. But that might be an option for my CA reactor (Korallin 3002) doesn't seem to be cutting it with my calcium and magnesium demands. I have looked into other options for a larger reactor. People always speak of the demands of a sps tank, but I think my large leathers could give them a run for their money.

Refugium has been set up for a couple months now and has a 1" sand bed with 3 types of caulerpa.


As far as additives it really depends on test results on wether I add CA chloride and mag chloride, but it is not unusual to be adding both numerous times per day just to keep up with the demand!

I've never thought of a website but maybe someday.

[JMBoehling]

[hawaiianwargod]

What about glueing a frag on the mid section? LOL!!!

[21Reefman]

I'm sure it's in Cali. I would say it is all fake coral, and the owners would have no clue how to do water change on their own. Can you imagine the maintenance bill?

Actually for cleaning, the tank is too tall for my blood.

[hawaiianwargod]

I wonder if Kent makes those Pro scraper long enough to reach the bottom? Maintenance would be astronomical if it is full blown reef but FO would still be costly but not much. It looks like it is placed in a hotel or something. But if that monster is in residential...I wonder what the owner do for a living??? Deuce Bigalow perhaps ??? lol...

I just repainted the living room, so here is a before and after picture. Still more work to be done, but this was an important step.

The new color makes the tank really stand out. :)

Looks Great! Really matches your pink canopy nicely ;)

[21Reefman]

The paint looks great! Is there a diy project page for that PINK hood? Is that a production model? :)
LOL, Love the pink hood, "That's HOT". We don't need no shtinkin' woodwork. ;)

melev,

Thanks! Here's another wall, which faces the end of the tank on the right side. The color you have is somewhat similar. I just painted this wall yesterday. Kitchen has new paint too.

[reefinmike]

btw, the 29 is going to either be an all sps or all softie reef.. cant decide. leaning towards the softy side...

[hawaiianwargod]

reefinmike,

looks good..btw, how's do you deal with the noise issue..if any since, the tank located in the bedroom?

[reefinmike]

it is nothing compared to what i used to deal with. i used to have my 125 fw with a rubbermaid sump, the water went through a bucket full of bioballs(noisy) and i had my 29 as my only reef at the time and i had the lamp on the fuge all day. i sleep through anything. at night my 125 is silent. the only noise in my room is a faint water noise from my 29g's overflows which im going to be working on once school is out(friday :) ) my room used to be a sauna but now i have glass tops on my 125 so it keeps the room dry. the tank stays 78.9 at night and 79.5 during the day.

I'm about as done as I am going to be with the remodel of our living room.

A couple of "before" shots taken right after we moved in -

I will apologize in advance for the darkness of the "after" shots. Ms dkh still has some decorating stuff to do, but the manly man stuff of tearing out paneling, refinishing wood floors, building the skin around the tank, etc is done-
