Hey Mike,

Tank looks NICE. I guess it will be an SPS domination in there,ha?What are your palns for the water flow?
BTW, thanks for view of the full moon- my hair were growing longer and I was howling at the monitor;)

Table tops! I am trying to get some tricolr tables for it and stags. It will be an acro tank! On the sand bed I am dropping in clams and fungia.

Flow: Twin Surge tanks, mag 36 return via slit over flows, a wave 2K, and a mag 18 conopy mounted closed loop.

Lighting 3-400 watt 20K radiums, 2-400 watt Iwasalis.

Euro reef cs-1 skimmer, cryptic zone and refugium with xenia in it!

Phyto station under the stand and a drip feeder for constant feeding!

My Friends from michiganreefers.com helped me build the stand for pizza, beer, and a few frags.

Great !!! Don't forget to post pics when it's up and running. I'm very much interested in your close loop design in the canopy. I'd like to get rid of the Pheads in my 75, just the other day one of the MJ1200 fell off and obliterated my nice monti digitata to pieces
Good luck with everything!

Looks great but looks like you need some more power for the tank

[mrok12]

I am locating the ballast in the basement undeneath iut. I am installin either twin 15 amps for the lights or a 20 and a 15. I am also adding a circuit 20 amp for teh rest of the equipment. I have thought it out for several months. I need atleast a 20 amp line or a slpit line for the lights alone. I think maybe even twin 20's to slit that load up. I could run 12a on one and 8a on the other. The pump pulls 2.5 amps. the surges are going to run off a mag 12 split between them and then the fans and the other oumps will run as well. The slpit will be between a 15 amp and a 20 amp for the circulation equipment. My power company can't wait! LOL

Thanks for sharing the pictures Mike! When are you going to stain that bad boy or does it just appear that it isn't in the pictures?

[mrok12]

It actually is stained. It is a contemporary beech stain so it is lighter. It has a yellow hue when you look at it. I wanted to incorporate yeloow into that dinning area since each chair has a different colored seat. We have an eclectic color sheme. I have a maroon high heel shoe chair iin the family room and a purlpe couch. Everything is apholstered in ultra suede. So the yellow stained stand fits in nicely

I am picking up the rest of the southdown from a friend today. He laso has a new wave 2k for sale that I am picking up as well. Will post some pics soon

You might want too look into the new Tunze Stream pumps instead of the surge tanks.
Looking forward to see your progress.
