Aquarium Masters for tank and sump

inlandreef · 07/31/2010, 03:54 AM

Heres some pics. Just the Sump and Stand. Going to stain the stand today (I Hope) and I will be talking with Elliot about tomorrow about my Sump/Fuge. More pics to come

I also have a 55 gal Tru View tank with stand. It has the filter in the back, Crushed coral heater and a Aqua-C Remora skimmer minus the pump. 50 takes it all. I want it out!!!

Bdimas · 07/31/2010, 11:00 AM

Nice man!

jeff209 · 07/31/2010, 01:14 PM

Lookin good so far.

jeff209 · 07/31/2010, 01:16 PM

Where is your overflow box going to be? what fish did u plan on putting inside? And what kind of lighting are you going to use ?

inlandreef · 07/31/2010, 02:16 PM

Not sure where the overflow is going to be. All I know is that it is a single overflow. As far as fish I am going to have a sailfin tang and a GBM clown. My lighting for now is going to be a 48" SunPod 150w x2 HQI 14000K

RiOnRoxXx · 08/09/2010, 12:51 PM

Updates? I want to see some stand color pics

inlandreef · 08/09/2010, 08:46 PM

Havent been able to do much on it yet been working to much. Still no tank and I did the inside of the stand primed today so I can paint the inside tomorrow. Will post pics of that soon. Next I hope to stain the outside. We shall see.

inlandreef · 08/10/2010, 04:36 AM

Heres some some pics of the stand primed and ready for paint. Hope to paint it today before work.

LOL RiON

I did get the inside painted today. A nice gloss oil based White. Should seal it pretty good from salty air. I might start staining tonight. We shall see if I work OT or not.

1 question. What size glass do you all use for you baffles in your sump/fuge? TIA

jeff209 · 08/10/2010, 11:04 PM

Lmao Ryan. Haha

inlandreef · 08/12/2010, 02:10 AM
