Bob21115's 100 Gallon Bubble Wall

[bob21115]

This project came together rather quickly so I dont have to many build photos.

This tank sat in front of my 300 in the living room for 4 months and then on the front porch for a month or two.

This summer I got all the projects on my list done and setting this tank up was next. Actually the project was doing a built-in closet and dresser with the tank in the middle.

As with all my tanks its plumbed together in the basement and after taking a few of the down I moved one of the lights to this tank.

Aquascaping this tank was done by drilling a 5/8" hole threw the Live Rock and putting a piece of PVC pipe threw it. I was really surprised how easy it was to dill the Live Rock. I cut out a piece of plywood the size of the bottom of the tank and stuck 3 pieces of PVC standing straight up. I started put the Live rock on to each of the pipes building up a nice rock wall.

Live stock includes 3 yellow tangs, 1 yellow eye kole tang, 2 black and white clowns. Really no coral to speak of yet.

The wall isn't done yet. I have some molding to put up and I have to figure out what color I'm going to stain or paint the wall. I also think I need to put something above the tank.

Here are 2 pictures of the tank out off the wall.

hey, how often do you see a gob stopper like that, well done bud, i love it.
Looks like you piffed an old tank & stole a marine portal from the public aquariums place. outstanding.

enough room for 4 tangs full grown though?
how do you get access to it?
enough air flow gets in there, or will some sort of extraction be on the cards?

[bob21115]

When they start getting bigger I'll move them into the 300.

After seeing this and your fantastic cube, I just have one question.


Um, can I come live with you? My wife and kids probably won't miss me too much

Wow what a cool tank!

WOW

That is actually REALLY cool looking

My questions is, does the MagFloat still work on that rounded surface like that?

LETS SEE SOME EQUIPMENT PICS!

[bob21115]

The mag float works ok. I need to add a white scratch pad to it.

As far as equipment all 12 of my tanks are plumbed together into 2 150, and a 100 gallon RubberMaid stock tubs.

They all have thier own lighting and power heads for flow.

All tanks a feed by a Reeflow Hammer head. They all gravity feed back into the basement.
AquaC 1200 Protien skimmer
Deltec PF1001 calcium reactor.
ReefKeeper 2 controller for Lighting controll, temp and PH.
Deltec FR509 Deltec Fluidized Reactor

I'll try to take some pictures in the next day or so of the equipment.
