Tank Journal 280L

14 October 2014 - 06:35 PM

I guess it's time to start one of my own so here it is.

280l curved glass by some chinese supplier,
Bottom pre drilled for overflow.

First off I made a messy attempt at forming a weir but hey it does the job.
Has a durso overflow ( for some reason it was a prick to tune for quiet operation got it there in the end, going to attempt to get a bit more flow but taking baby steps.

Sump was built by Vebas and also have an auto top up tank ready for later on down the track.

As ot stands at them moment I just want to get the saltwater in and live rock so i can get it cycling. I'm in no hurry to get any coral or fish at this point I want it aquascaped to my satisfaction as I have a particular look in my head.

Advice Please

First of all hi all, just joined and have been skimming over.

I recently started setting up a reef tank haven't decided what exactly but thats not my issue right now.

Firstly I've set up a durso but i can't seem to get the siphon right. Either there is too much bubbles or the flow won't keep up with the pump I'll upload some photos when I get home.

Secondly what are people's opinions on the live rock from gosnell's aquariums I ask because I don't know what to look for and he does 20kg for fairly cheap.

Thanks
