Glad you guys like it! I've been planning this tank for over a year now...
Here's the run down... Tank: 60x18x24 Lee-Mar, Black silicone, diamond edges, black background, offset trapazoidal overflow w/ 1.5" bulkhead, offset centerbrace, (2) Closed loop holes w/ 1.5" bulkheads... 40 gal sump 20 gal refugium Lighting: (2) 250w IceCap MH w/ ReefOptixIII+ pendants... I also have 440w VHO, but won't use them initially (the tank will be "topless") Circulation: Mag 9.5 return and Mak4 Closed Loop (I may upgrade to a Sequence 3600 Closed loop) Filtration: EuroReef CS6-1, 150lbs liverock... contemplating DSB.... I also have an ARS Oceanus 100gpd R0/DI, digital doser, and a bunch of other goodies that I'm sure I am forgetting! right now I am working on the electrical... I am trying to let the tank have it's own dedicated 20amp circuit w/ multiple independent GFCI's... I'll post more pics as the progress continues! |

Nice Job.The sequence is a good choice for a return or circulation pump.Have you seen their New Refloo line which comes with a see through housing and is specifically designed for salt Water? I see that you mentioned,self leveling epoxy.Where did you use the epoxy? Thanks.

I was stuck between the ReeFlo and the 750's for some time. The reason I opted for the 3600SEQ12 was mainly becuase they have been around for a long time and are known to be an excellent workhorse. They also come with a 3 year warranty vs. 18 months for the ReeFlo. Also, the clear housing is not as strong as the high strength glass filled polypropylene housings. The Stingray and Hammerhead also seem to consume much more electricity than the 3600SEQ12's 160watts (but again they are more similar to the 1000 series) Several people I have talked to have said that the older models are built better. I guess I just didn't want to be the guinnea pig! They may turn out to be fabulous pumps. I also could not pass up AZponds clearence sale! I bought the self-leveling eoxy from http://www.shopmaninc.com/kk121.html I used it to completely flatten and level the top of my stand. I attached a picture in one of the pictures above. This stuff is easy to use and works great! I highly recommend it. Last edited by sdgtivr6; 04-15-2004 at 10:30 PM. |
