MRSBB 215G Tank Build

[BIGBIRD123]

Well we got lucky and picked-up a nice set-up. It was a 215g with stand and sump. Well, when the owner opened up the crate, the euro-bracing on the back of the tank was broken. The tank was shipped in from Guam. Joe made us a sweet deal and we decided we could fix it. Here is the original picture of the tank.

Here are some repairs of the bracing.

Will be adding 2 more pieces tomorrow...

Hope you enjoy following...

So... What's it gonna be?

I think you should CONSIDER stocking it from the BB Port A trip. That would be kind of neat - a Texas tropical tank.

[BIGBIRD123]

This is a MRS-only tank....if ya know what I mean...

[BIGBIRD123]

I'm just doing the grunt work...

[JimD]

Sweet!

[MRSBIGBIRD123]

So... What's it gonna be?

I think you should CONSIDER stocking it from the BB Port A trip. That would be kind of neat - a Texas tropical tank.

Sorry Bill, not going to happen... I don't have any major plans on what is going inside as of yet. My focus as of now, is once the Euro-bracing is repaired, I plan to paint the back glass of the tank black. Since the overflow is clear, I also plan to cover it with black acrylic. The sand I chose will look salt-n-pepperish, 240lbs. Luckily we have had rock curing for a while.
Current Livestock, a Yellow tang (Thanks JG), (I had actually thought about getting a school of Yellow Tangs, contrasting with the black), a pair of Naked Clowns, a school of Bangaii Cardinals, a Mystery Wrasse, a Coris Wrasse, and a clean up crew.
My 54g Corner is filled with Zoanthids, a beautiful Flame anemone, and various LPS, so my focus for now is to utilize the 210g as a grow-out tank. (No SPS for me!) I am sure it will take time and a lot of patience.
To be continued.......

This is a MRS-only tank....if ya know what I mean...



yeah....I know what ya mean...Go Cheri!!!:applause:

[princer7]

Sure is going to be fun to full that tank up :D

[Dee]

Oh Cheri I am so jealous!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL. Some day...some day...I've outgrown my 120 and already have a place picked out for a 200-300g. I look forward to watching things progress in this thread!!!

Dee

[Mrs. z28pwr]

What a beauty.........................You will have it full next month

[BIGBIRD123]

Not if I don't put water in it....LOL

We REALLY GOT LUCKY on this one, (I was actually looking for a 90g tall) found it over a month ago, the price was actually better than had hoped for. Just be patient, the right one will come along....

[JKLUSAF]

looks good ya'll

[princer7]

I am sure to hit up the "Jennifer's House of Zoas" lol....:wink_smile:

me zoa is you zoa :D

[hobogato]

when you are siphoning water from steve's tank, be sure you siphon from his frag tank that way you can suck up a few of those for your tank too :wink_smile:

[MRSBIGBIRD123]

[hobogato]

sweet :D

[JimD]

Hey, what about me??? lol

[MRSBIGBIRD123]

Jim, how could I ever forget about you?

[JimD]

aww shucks... :)

[chark]

Wow! ! I am sure it is going to look great. Are you giving info on the lighting, and equipment for the rest of the set up?

[MRSBIGBIRD123]

Thanks Cecil, we are taking our time, in setting the tank up, and utilizing as much equipment as we currently own.
For Flow, 2 Tunze Streams 6100 w/Multi Controller, a Mag24 Return Pump with Dual Returns. We have a 75g sump/fuge, Red Sea triple-pass skimmer. The lighting will be Dual 175w and 250w MH with T5 actinic supplimentation. It will have lots of fan circulation in the canopy and fuge area to hopefully eliminate the need for a chiller.
We are still working on finalizing the equipment and lighting schemes. For now, this is what we have chosen.

[Mr Cob]

Can't wait to see more...

[MRSBIGBIRD123]

A little disappointed, my Tahitian Moon Black Sand did not arrive as expected, so that has delayed things somewhat, hopefully it will be in this week.
Really liked the look of your black sand Rob!

[robalv]

I just put up a dual 250 MH retro in an odyssey housing from Doug ( dconyers ) thanks for he hook up Doug, then stopped by AD and Jason hooked me up with a 250W ballast its looking good now. Pics L8R didn't check to see if he had any(sand). Thanks again for the props..
I couldn't have done it without your generosity on the price of the tank. so thank you and Steve.

[Mr Cob]

Yes, the black sand adds a nice contrast for the corals though you miss out on the reflective properties that the white sand has. Clone's tank first motivated me to use the black sand.

[BIGBIRD123]

Only addition we have thought about is a "Delivery/pick-up box" on the front porch...:rofl:

[ErikH]

You goin zoadominant? :)

[Mr Cob]

Only addition we have thought about is a "Delivery/pick-up box" on the front porch...:rofl:

LOL! A bench with a seat that lifts up works nicely. I put a couple of fans inside mine in the event that I leave frags in there for pickups:wink_smile:

Or I float them in the pond and leave a net near by...that one works good too.

[BIGBIRD123]

We finally got all the sand in and the Euro-bracing finished-up nicely. It is time to do a water test to make sure it will hold water. I really don't want to plumb it all in and get it ready for saltwater and it start leaking or worse...:hypnotyized::mad::cry_smile:

Pix up soon...

[MRSBIGBIRD123]

You goin zoadominant? :)

Pretty much Erik, I have some various LPS, and a few leathers, but I plan to create a "ZoaNation" It will take a while to fill, but I have tons of room for growth.

[Mr Cob]

"ZoaNation"

That's a cool name.

[MRSBIGBIRD123]

Painted the back of the tank last night, really looks awesome. Steve will add pics later.

[corkyGramma]

Right on, I like the way it show cases the coraline:)

[MRSBIGBIRD123]

WoooHooo, we're water testing......keep all fingers/toes crossed, :whew: hopefully ready for rock/sand soon......
Now if that hubby of mine would post pics.....:shades:

[princer7]

Um... yeah, need some pics please :D

[BIGBIRD123]

here a picture of.....:at_wits_end:painting the back...

[MRSBIGBIRD123]

Didn't think I was ever going to finish painting the back..........took 2 and 1/2 cans of paint.

[BIGBIRD123]

Here's a picture of the salt -n- pepa sand we are using...

http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j20/onebrickstrait/Picture249.jpg

[MRSBIGBIRD123]

Just got through mixing the sand, I prefer to think it looks like crushed oreos....once we get it into the tank, I am sure it will look even better. In that tote, it doesn't look like a lot....lol!

[princer7]

Cannot wait to see it in the tank. :)

[Mr Cob]

Looking good Cheri! ZoaNation will rock!

[BIGBIRD123]

We got the sand in the tank...

http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j20/onebrickstrait/Picture253.jpg

[Mr Cob]

How many inches did it come out to?

[MRSBIGBIRD123]

Rob, we stopped at about 3.5 to 4 inches, I still have more, but we are going to move sand for rock, so this will also add to the depth.....

[Mr Cob]

Perfect. That sand went a long way.

[Sherri]

Too cool Cheri...can't wait to see it up & running...

[MRSBIGBIRD123]

Finally beginning to look like a tank.......can't wait to get some rock, water, lights, coral and fish in there.

[Mrs. z28pwr]

Wow it looks great.................I love the look of the sand

[JimD]

Yeah, thats gonna be cool... Any updates? (pics)

[MRSBIGBIRD123]

Wow it looks great.................I love the look of the sand

Thanks Mizeny, we are in the process of making LOTS OF WATER for Steve's tank, and my own. Steve is going to complete a water change, and that water will be used in my tank as well as new water we are making. Again LOTS OF WATER!

My plan for this weekend to play with the rock, work on some aquascaping, before it goes into the tank. I will update with pics of how/what the rock will hopefully look like.

[Sherri]

Better hurry before we hit Stage 4 water restrictions! :bigsmile: Stage 3 is looming big time....

[mama]

Hey Cheri!!!

I would love to come and see your creation when all is done....I was thinking of throwing you a "Coral Shower" !!...either way, I won't be emty handed ;-)

Unfortunately Laura, that is not all of it........I think the tears I cried at My Sister's Keeper, a movie, I just got home from, would fill the rest of the tank.

Gah I am glad my well is on Glen Rose Aquifer. They have had a ton of rain in Oklahoma so I am golden.

[MRSBIGBIRD123]

Well, it's been a while since I've updated, worked on the plumbing tonight, tomorrow we will add high quality H2O.....aka saltwater.

[jlh81]

That sand and painting the back black is going to look awsome!!! I can't wait to see is filled up with some rocks and fish in it. Nice work

Joe

[BIGBIRD123]

We covered the overflow with rock. I sliced some rock thin and siliconed them on. Looks pretty cool. I get a picture posted soon. We started putting water in last night.

[subsailor]

gah slacker

[BIGBIRD123]

Here's what we did to the glass overflow. We really didn't like the idea of putting black acrylic on it.

http://i76.photobucket.com/albums/j20/onebrickstrait/Picture260.jpg

[carlinsa]

like the idea of the overflow like that. its definatley better than the black cover.

[MRSBIGBIRD123]

And I can utilize them for more zoas...

[carlinsa]

And I can utilize them for more zoas...

you can do it on black overflows too. soon as i run out of room which at the rate its going wont be long before the walls are covered

[MRSBIGBIRD123]

Just finished the rockwork, (I hope :hypnotyized:) we'll see later once we wake up.

[MRSBIGBIRD123]

Finally woke up. :angel:....no not really, lol. Had to tie up a few loose ends for the Port A trip.
Pics will be posted soon....
I am going to remove a rock in the center, kind of sticks out like a sore thumb, but it is bracing a rock I want to keep in another location. :at_wits_end:
Thanks for the compliment, Blindside...and all the interest everyone else.
My "cookies and cream" sand does not appear to be as black as before due to the white rock....but all is good.

[BIGBIRD123]

Well, here is a FTS, Left side and Right side. It is still a little cloudy but I like it...pardon the power head cord, we are still working on it. Also, I think I will put a cover over the overflow to cut down on the glare.

[princer7]

geeze Cheri, I don't think it is big enough....

Looks awesome. Cannot wait to see it filled with corals :D

[mama]

oh Cheri....AWESOME!!!!!!!

[jlh81]

Yeah i like it but the center rocks kinda stick out. Maybe if you found some more shapped rocks i wouldn't stand out so bad. Like some large chucks of reef rubble. But in the long run i think it will look really cool all covers in pink and zoa going on it. love the start keep it up

Joe

[cpreefguy]

NICE! :D
I see A LOT of room for corals to be placed...

[puretexn]

WoW!

[fishypets]

Wow looks good Cheri. I'd say it looks better than hubbies already. :)

[JimD]

I see Steves masonary skills are being put to good use! ... Looks good Cheri, cant wait to see how you decorate it! ... :)

[dannyv]

Looks great Cheri, are you going to use those MP40's in your tank?

Thanks Clint, but he has been a major influence in getting it set up.

Yes Jim, he did good work on the overflow, I like it.

Ooooooh, I like the rock work! Great job!

[MRSBIGBIRD123]

Thanks guys, I have added one more piece of rock to balance the center.....

[jlh81]

cool lets see the pic. Hey i forgot to tell you the overflow slits are a little to skinny, they should be a little wider, I just thought of it but after a while the build up with algae and make the water level rise alot which drops the water level in the sump, but if you keep it clean its no problem. if i set it up again i was going to make them wider, little less maintenance.

[MRSBIGBIRD123]

Thanks for the info Joe, I am sure to keep them clean. until Steve can widen them...I will get more pics later.

[Richard]

I don't like the rockwork. If you can get Steve to come out and tear down my 215 he can have all the rock. It'll give you plenty of more shapes to work with. Only catch is, he'll have to take all the livestock too.

[corkyGramma]

Well sometimes you have to rework the placement of things...its hard to get it exactly the way you want it the first time. I believe the middle rockwork wont be a problem once it starts changing colors and eventually "purpling."

[cbianco]

What kind of rock is that covering the overflow? It looks a bit too dense to be live rock. You said that you sliced it, How did you slice it? (Sliced rock=Pie rock).

Christopher,
The rocks are soft limestone, basically the same as pulverized limestone that is the rage for substrate. The are really just for cover but work great for placing zoas. Mike Delgado in Salado, has them all across the back of his tank with no issues.

[Mr Cob]

Looks awesome to me...especially once the zoa matts take off!!!

Did you use a tile saw to cut the rock?

Any concerns with leaching?

I like how the overflow was covered. I think it would be awesome to see it covered in zoanthids, as a previous poster mentioned.

Christopher

[MRSBIGBIRD123]

Christopher, that was my plan to begin with, I did this also covered the two sides of the walls with the same rock on my corner tank. Some zoas grow slower than others, but oh well. My tank is planned to be zoa dominant with other LPS. My "Zoa Nation" will be up and running soon.

Thanks Mercedes, it was good to see ya'll again, Everything has acclimated well, and they all eat like pigs......lol.
Got the Canopy painted today, and Steve changed out the lights with the T5s he had used on the 280g. Now the colors of corals/fish are more distinct.

[JimD]

That looks awesome! Love the Achilles tang!

Cheri, how many t5 bulbs were on the 280 and what colors?:nerd:I've been meaning to ask:wub:

[cbianco]

Few comments/questions...

I noticed you have a Vortech and a couple of Koralias(?).

Are you finding it necessary to supplement water flow even though you have the Vortech? or
Are the Koralias be moved out eventually leaving only the Vortech?

I was always under the impression that with a Vortech, you don't need any additional power heads.

You stated that you are now running T5s.

Could you give us some details of your T5 setup?
Quantity?
Bulbs?
Order?

Your tank is looking nice! When do we get diatom pics, lol. :innocent2:

Christopher


...Steve changed out the lights with the T5s he had used on the 280g...

Tell Steve to keep his hands out/off of YOUR tank! :bigsmile:

The Vortech was only temporary, if you look at the last FTS, you'll see it has been removed. :cry_smile:

Are you finding it necessary to supplement water flow even though you have the Vortech? or
Are the Koralias be moved out eventually leaving only the Vortech?
We are going to remove the Tunze streams tonight, with a multi-controller from Steve's 280g, and those will replace the Koralias.

I was always under the impression that with a Vortech, you don't need any additional power heads.

You stated that you are now running T5s.

Could you give us some details of your T5 setup?

Bulbs? Giessmann
Order? Not sure of order, but I know there is 2 blues/ 2true actinics/ 2 pinks and not sure of the other 2.

Your tank is looking nice! When do we get diatom pics, lol. :innocent2:
I have been currently going through the diatom bloom on the rock for the past week, orange is not a "favored" color in this household, so we will be happy once it leaves.....

Christopher



Tell Steve to keep his hands out/off of YOUR tank! :bigsmile:
I have become more engaged with this tank, than my previous 110g. I still am relying on Steve for a lot of the grunt work, but I am learning/observing more, and trying to take on most of the load myself. Believe me, there is not a sane person, who would want me to wire a canopy.......:hypnotyized:

[MRSBIGBIRD123]

Cheri, how many t5 bulbs were on the 280 and what colors?:nerd:I've been meaning to ask:wub:

Steve had 10, I am not using that many.

Tank is really comming along Cheri! Like everyone else, I can't wait to see it covered in Coral!

[MRSBIGBIRD123]

You and me both........I added several corals and fish over the weekend that Richard graciously offered me. (Thank you so much) I still need to fine tweak coral placement, and plan to allow everything to grow.
I love to sit and watch the fish and how the interact together.

[cbianco]

Cheri...

I noticed your emoticon(sp?) next to the comment about the Vortech. Do you plan on getting one in the future? I am assuming that the Vortech I saw was Steve's.

Glad to see that if nothing else, you're replacing the Koralia with Tunze.

I like my Koralia for the price, but I feel they took up too much space once in the tank. I look forward to getting my Vortech.

I am but I wouldn't mind a small achilles aswell. Can't sem to find a small Sohal, the all seem to be too big. I'm probably going to wait on the Sohal and add some more tangs before adding him.
