[YorkshireMarine]

Hi guys i picked up this tank from a ur member (cheers peter) and now im in the process of setting it up and moving my 2 4ft fish tanks in to it.
Here is the spec

Tank 96x24x18 tank bottom drilled with 3 weirs
sump 60x15x18 with ocean runner 3500 return pump DSB and cheato
skimmer deltec ap850 with feed pump
tunze ts24 kit with magnets on the way
aquatronica temp and ph (will be here this week)
lighting 4x 150w halides not arcadias with acintics

just put the salt in today planning on doing water changes with the two other tanks for 2 weeks then adding 20kg of LR. Then wait for levels to stabalise and move on tank in and then the other, will post more as it happens.

i planed on posting pics but dont no how if anyone can tell me i will put them up.

aquatronica temp and ph (will be here this week)

Been out shopping again??!!!


i planed on posting pics but dont no how if anyone can tell me i will put them up.

I host mine on my free webspace from the ISP - you may have some yourself. Alternatively, stick them on Photobucket and link to them.

Looking forward to seeing the pics - will be strange to see it with a completely different scaping, corals and fish!

Did you make any changes to the sump?

hi blacksparkle,
to upload pics you need to go through photobucket.com,there you can upload your pics and then post them to message boards (ie this one).
btw looking forward to seeing some pics as your set up sounds fantastic.

[YorkshireMarine]

no changes to the sump left as is had to re plumb it all with 32mm piping thats ok though.

and as for the aquatronica seeing yours twisyed my arm so much easier not having to use chemical test kits to check ph etc its a bit murky at the mo with the salt gone in and will have to get something to help it clear.

its gonna be a while yet till its finished but im not gonna rush. Thats when things go wrong.


Hows yours coming on saw the new pics looking good, is that a new coral at the front i see.

Nothing new, just letting it all settle at the moment.

Old tank is looking tidier than it ever did though!!

tank looks great James let me know how you get on with the pipe fish because cant get out of my head how good they looked cheers Craig

[YorkshireMarine]

will do craig cheers for the help by the way. How the gramma doing along with the coral.

[JasandJules]

That tank looks stunning.

However, I do think a pipefish will struggle to compete for food in that sort of tank, really IMO they are a species only/seahorse tank inhabitant.

[YorkshireMarine]

they were in the tank i purcesed so will see how they do

lookin nice lets see the one in kitchen lol
thanks for lr it filled a corner.....Brian

[redgill]

gramma and corals doing great thankyou for them but i am still really jealous about your tank and those pipe fish you will have to explain to me again how that reactor worked for feeding and i will probably give it a go

[YorkshireMarine]

yea you just fill it with tank water put in your frozen brine shrimp then turn on the air pump and then set the dosing pump to turn on for 3 mins every 35 mins. supposed to get good results.
