ManTis's 80...

[ManTis]

I never got around to make a built thread on my 180 gallon but that setup didnt take off nor it lasted too long with me. So here is a thread on my current setup. I took alot of photo during the process of the transfer but somehow I lost the camera and I never got to upload it on to my computer. So all the photo I have of the transfer is from my iPhone. I got this set from Jocecazalot in a trade. I believe she got it from unbereefable. I believe it was built by him too.

Equipments:
-80 gallon display tank with "Bean Animal's style overflow box"
-TekElite 8x54w T5 lighting system
-CurrentUSA PowerBrite 4x1watt LED for moonlights
-EcoTech VorTech MP40 2ndGen
-29 gallon sump
-AquaEuroUSA 135 protein skimmer
-QuietOne4000 return pump
-15watts UV Light
-ViaAqua PolyReactor filled with carbon
-Marineland Stealth 200watt heater

Fishes:
-1 Purple Tang
-1 Blue Tang
-1 Female Black Ocellaris*
-1 Male Onyx Percula*
-7 Green Chromis
* I lost the female Onyx in the transfer. Then the mating Black Ocellaris male in a holding tank to a malfuction heater a few months ago. :cry:


Well here is some of the off my iPhone of the transfer.
This was some time in August of 2011.

I miss her! The bean drain is so awesome! Most people that checked out my tank when I was selling it, couldn't believe a drain could be that quiet. I never had it looking as good as you though! :)

Thanks Chris and Jeff. This is nowhere compared to both of your tanks!

I love this tank! You did an amazing job on the stand and canopy! I just wish the left end was finished like the right. I knew that that side was against a wall in your house. The bean drain is dead silent! The 2 noisiest things on this tank is the skimmer pump and the return pump but that is when the doors are off. Its a dead silent system if its all closed up. THANKS for the great work on the stand and canopy again.

I had a day off today so I decided to do a "deep cleaning" on the tank. Gravel vac, scrub algea, flush sump, replace carbon, clean pumps, clean skimmer, remove rubbles, reaquascape a bit, glue down frags, and a water change is what I meant by "deep cleaning". :D I pick up a few SPS frags, some die on me and some is hanging in there. I took some pictures and a short video. I am still playing around with this new PnS camera so pics are not that great. Hope yal enjoy this. :D


Magnifica anemone that I picked up from AquaSD. So far so good.

[ManTis]

Thanks Jesse. That Black Occelaris has been with me from the start of my reefing hobby. She been through EVERYTHING! I had her since she was a baby. She a wild caught specimen. I had her since '07. :shocked:

[Vince]

Looking good Michael!!!!

[unbereefable]

Since you're not using an external return, are you using the bulkhead in the sump for water changes? I see it has a valve on it. Just wondering if you did that to plug it. I would slap a house barb on there and make it a quick drain for WC.

[ManTis]

Thanks Vince.

The sump came with it drilled so I just use it to do water changes. It makes cleaning out the sump very simple, no siphon nor pump needed.
