I really like that aquascape. It will look great when it's full of sticks!

Now that I'm spending more time searching for quality aquascapes I'm seeing the appeal of Tonga branch style structures for SPS tanks... Each end of branch could easily hold a frag/colony, super easy and awesome flow options, easy for fish to hide in.. So many perks are coming to light as I look at that scape.

Wow Sahin, I'm just now getting caught up with your new build. How exciting! I love the look of the tank and the aquascape bud. Definitely looking forward to following along.

Currently there is only the Deltec 1456 Skimmer and 2 trays containing 4 litres of Seachem Matrix stones. The plumbing is straightforward: 2 x Oceanlife Overflows. The Ecotech Vectra M1 is split using a 1inch Y splitter and returns the water to the display via 1inch soft pipes. The drains are 1.5inch. |

Hey Sahin, love that scape!
Can't wait to see you start populating this tank. Getting very close. I love the smell of fresh acro in the morning!

Sahin, Thanks for letting me know of your new build. I will enjoy following your thread. I see you had to get a tank as large as Andrews. Good luck with it.

Great New start Sahin!!!
Hope for you the best (at least same as your actual tank ) Just one question on your sump photo : Skimmer is in the first compartment that can up and down. Don't you think your skimmer performance can be impact by this? Stef (sorry for bad english) |

Thanks for looking into the thread my friends.
I've added 10 Litres of Siporax into the sump now as well. I'm putting off adding a chaeto etc as things get messy in the sump. If I had a tank room I'd be putting a proper refugium tank. So the 4litres Seachem Matrix and 10litres Siporax should be plenty of filter media for my tank size and the low-med bioload I'll be having. I'll upload a photo of the sump later. Damn Photobucket is down for maintenance currently. Quote:
The only chamber which could fluctuate is the last chamber ie the return pump section. However the Tunze Osmolator keeps the water level here stable as long as the top off section (the last chamber on the right) has RODI water. By the way the Deltec 1456 skimmer is working so well. Its like perfectly matched for this tank size. I recall Andrew mentioning on this thread that his Deltec skimmer pulls out waste as soon he feeds/dumps skimmate into the tank. This is exactly what happens. The skimmer chugs along and as soon as I feed the fish, the bubbles collapse for about 20 minutes and then the skimmer resumes skimming like mad. Love the skimmer. |

Love to hear it about the Deltec. I've contemplated a switch for a while now. Keep it coming with the pics!

I transfered quite a few acros now. Tank is only 3 weeks old and started with completely dead rocks and sand so I was a bit worried about acros stripping etc but all is well so far; the preparation I put in seems to have paid off. The acros have browned out, however that's ok. Tank is too young to expect anything else. |

The sense of design, style and finesse European reefers have seems to be missing here in the U.S. We have evolved into prioritizing size and quantity over elegance.
Just an observation after watching hundreds, probably thousands of tank builds on various reef sites. |

Well Sahin,
I'm glad to see you got the upgrade you've always wanted. I hope the family is doing well as well as the new additions. I love that new baby smell, until they start pooping. LOL! Nah, you and I are in the same boat, 3 kids and trying to keep the fish tank dream going. I am trying to talk the wife into an upgrade but I honestly couldn't do one unless we moved, there just isn't enough room. Looking great! Take your time. Jared |
