My new tank/cabinet from Mermaid Aquarium
Here it is:
http://reefcentral.com/gallery/data/...ankcabinet.jpg Everything went pretty smoothly. They came, took down my old 240 and put up this new AGA 210 in one day. A little tweaking to be done still but, all in all it's been great. I went the full service route this time rather than spending months doing it myself. Here's a picture of the left side where most of the equipment is: http://reefcentral.com/gallery/data/...05_skimmer.jpg More pictures in my Gallery. |
WOW! Gorgeous tank. I have seen their stands, and they are top notch! Looking foward to seeing more pictures. :D

Wow Mona, that would not work in my house, it looks too nice! Where's the pine boards?? Where's the ghetto curtains to hide the lights?? Nope definately not a good stand for my house ;)
I'm sure it probably fits in perfectly in your place though :D |
That does look clean! Congrats!
|
The tank looks amazing, nice work once again. I like the mix of coral types, almost 2 tanks in one. You were kidding either about your new skimmer. Impressive.

Supper sweet. I've seen that stand. Ohh, here's me droolling:(
|
Your tank looks better then the last time I seen it. The skimmer looks smaller in the picture.
|
Very nice Mona!
|
The pictures don't do it justice! I saw it in person. It's very, very nice!
I'm jealous too. Dennis P.S. Thanks for the sand. |
Beautiful stand and tank congrats
|
nice!
|
wow thats gorgeous, if you don't mind me asking; how much did it cost you
|
Wow!!!!!!!!!!!
That is one exceptional tank and stand setup. All the equipment is nice and neat too. Congratulations! |
Congrats Mona,
It looks great and even better in person. You sure have a lot of room to fill up!!! That is the best part though isn't it? Your starboard bottom has convinced me to try one out on my next tank. |
Yes, I'm curious about the price too.

I'll post pictures later of the pipe, gear, lighting, special switches, bevel cut starboard, etc. Thanks all for the nice words. It really does look very nice. |
I'd love to see pics of the process. I bet that was pretty amazing.
|
thats sweet, my dad likes going down there, and he always wants to get a tank from them and we will when we are doen w/ the remodel
|
Down to freemont from Boulder Creek? Is that like going up to LA from Santa Cruz :D Must be the mountain thing (elevation) :D

Here are a few more pictures:
Full cabinet shot. Only the first metal halide is on: http://reefcentral.com/gallery/data/...net_Small_.jpg I'm running PFO ballasts to power 3x400 watt 20K XM bulbs. Icecap Dual ballast for Hamilton SuperBlue Actinics, 2xTunze Stream 6100's with Controller, 2xPenPlex back-up Airpumps, Stealth fans will replace the remaining 110 volt fans.

Outlets controlled by switches on the right side under tank cabinet:
http://reefcentral.com/gallery/data/...nel_Small_.jpg AquacontrollerII. The cord was too short from the top of the cabinet to mount this better: http://reefcentral.com/gallery/data/...er__Small_.jpg Eheim 1262 is my return pump. The Kill-o-watt meter says it is only drawing 50 watts. Just enough water to feed the skimmer. Circulation for the tank is taken care of by the Tunze Streams. http://reefcentral.com/gallery/data/...urn_Small_.jpg Right side of cabinet. TruVu Refugium/sump. Ten Gallon for new salt water mixing container. I've already junked up the cabinet with clutter. Lifereef float switch controls a solenoid for the RO line. The RO line has a valve so water is added slowly thus taking awhile to overflow if the float switch fails. There is a second float switch that closes the solenoid incase of high water in the sump: http://reefcentral.com/gallery/data/...et__Small_.jpg |
Starboard is starting to turn purple. Mermaid beveled the bottom edge so that the top sits right up next to the glass and the bottom does not touch the silicone. A bead of silicone was run underneath the starboard to keep funk out:

The Nepthea looks great with the Roses: http://reefcentral.com/gallery/data/...nd__Small_.jpg Closer shot of Anemones with Maureen's Green BTA: http://reefcentral.com/gallery/data/...es__Small_.jpg Future inhabitants of Anemone Land: http://reefcentral.com/gallery/data/...ld__Small_.jpg Sponge Bob is back at work. I'm going to do a display similar to what Eddie had at TP. :) I'll see if these SI Percs form a family unit, divide up in pairs, or whatever... as long as they play nice. http://reefcentral.com/gallery/data/...ld__Small_.jpg Close up of babies on day 24: http://reefcentral.com/gallery/data/...4b__Small_.jpg Thanks for looking. |
