5 Mos Later: The Build Is On!!



Updated Drawing 03.05.13

I am glad there is such a long wait for these builds so I have more time to think.  I put together another design which I think will be more friendly than the longer dimensions I had in my last design.  This one is also much more simplistic and will rely mostly on the protein skimmer to handle the limited bioload I plan on having in the tank.  The dimensional change will also increase the expected volume from 17.6 gallons to approximately 26.5 gallons with the new footprint.



Updated 02.21.13 + LED's

2 Months until the build is complete and I can start my new tank.  I updated my design, and placed an order for the lighting system.  LED's - the way of the future!

The Relocator

Since the larger aquariums have become such a nuisance during relocations, I have decided to go the way of the nano-reef aquarium.  I have put together a new design blue print for build based on this previous concept.

Professional Water Testing

I had samples sent out to a lab to create a full view of what is going on in the aquarium.  Many things are right where they should be, but there are a few key elements that are out of whack.  The Calcium, Potassium, Copper, and Silica levels will need to be corrected or the tank will most definitely deteriorate.
