The nexus reef

nexusnight · 09/10/2014, 04:45 PM

Tank is 150 gallons peninsula style on a custom stand
Running with a coast to coast internal overflow and painted the bottom glass white. Going to be a bare bottom tank this round.
New custom sump is being built by Sealife central
Going to run a jebao dc 12000 return and two RW 20 wave makers
Picked up my reef octo Sro 3000int skimmer last night. This skimmer is a beast

stay tuned for the unboxing video and review once it's up and running.
Tank will be plumbed bean animal overflow and return lines done in tiger flex PVC
Brs reactors and dosing pumps
Full apex controlling everything
Ati 8 bulb 60" lighting the reef
Two new aqueon 200 w shatterproof heaters. These look real nice and have now breakable parts exposed to the water.
Stay tuned and watch the nexus reef grow!!

Looks like a nice setup.

Who made your tank?

Thanks for fixing that!! I built the tank lol. Had my friend a Sealife central, local lfs, do up the overflow for me and my new sump is being assembled right now

might want to go with 2 rw-15 instead of 20's. 2 rw15's are almost too much on my 180 gallon

nexusnight · 09/11/2014, 04:03 PM

thanks, they are pretty powerful. i figured id run them dialed back as needed and use the 20s to get the wider flow, considering the pumps impeller and housing is all larger. Room to go if i need more power
