50g breeder finally up

[NYreefNoob]

ok after planning- re-planning ect. i finally finished my new and last tank. it's 36x18x17 acrylic with rounded corners. running closed loop on it with a swc. only thing i messed up on was should haave used my gen-x 4100 for closed loop. it's too much for return and closed loop pump isnt strong enough. so one day ill switch it around. using 3\4 loc line on return and closed loop to put flow all around tank. only had one over flow and what i use to use for my dsp tank not using this time. that was the over flow. really tried to go simplier this time. and back to t5's forgot how bright 6 bulbs are . here are a few photo's 2-16-08

nice man, looking good. Such a nice size.

U should throw a piece of black plexi in the overflow to cover it till corraline grows over it. =)

 

[NYreefNoob]

i am tosiek i have it already, been a day and a half between breaking old tank down and doing the clean up and switch and taking it slow to make sure everything hold's. nano i have 2 tek t5 retro's. using 2 10k, 2 gies 11k's and 2 gies antic plus. it's actually my lights from my old 62g

[NYreefNoob]

it's like a heated on tape i guess for more support. the sand is ocean direct really bright with some pink in it

Great looking tank. I love the dimensions

 

[grisha]

how bad is the noise on your drain?

 

[NYreefNoob]

new 50g

system is iver all pretty quiet. drain definately is. got to increase flow though getting rid of 3\4 loc line and dropping it down to 1\2 to create more pressure. getting the water turn over just no pressure from it. here is a fts
