Finally moving towards having some saltwater in the new house.
Came across a 90 gallon frag tank.
48"x36"x12"
Looks like an awesome BTA prop tank.
This is a picture of how the last dude had it set up:
Not bad for a college kid, but not quite how I'm gonna run it.
Unfortunately, the tank came with a chip in the corner of one pane of acrylic.
The chipped piece was still present, as you can see, and it was only on that one pane. Easy fix. Replaced chipped piece, hit it with Weldon 16. Then I took a square of additional acrylic and glued it on with Weldon 4.
In that picture, you can kind of see the repaired chip on the left pane. Added piece overlaps the seam. Tomorrow I'll add two additional pieces to the other panes, again, to overlap the seam.
It might be a little overkill, but I'm also going to cement a 1" cube to the inside corner of that seam. Better safe then sorry.
I'll be lighting this with a 12 bulb sfiligoi.
Ya. I know. Too much. I'll only need two of the channels, giving me 8 running bulbs. If/when I get around to building a plywood pond/frag tank, it'll light that thing up instead.
For flow, I want to do a surge tank. For filtration, I'm thinking an ASM G3, gfo, and carbon.
It'll be a bta prop tank, so I need some food fish poop in there. On the docket are the classic frag tank fish. Sixline or yellow corris for flatworms. Lawnmower blenny for green hairies. Trochus snails to crawl around, breed, and get eaten. And probably a pair of clowns, because, well, they're fun.
On a side note. Anyone local have Colorado sunburst nems?
