180

[Gseclipse02]

Well heres the 180g
I got the tank from dannyv and was it fun to move … it made me realize I need to work out some lol
Here are the specs

6*2*2 RR dual overflow

Lights = 8 4 ft T5HO bulbs and 2 VHO 4 ft bulbs

UV sterilizer =2 one 40w gamma UV and one 18w turbo twist I figure this will help with all the tangs I plan on having : )

Skimmer = Euro-reef RS 180 (skims pretty good )

Sump 75g Ace built

Flow = Tunze 6100 with controller along with a K4 andK3 power head

return pump is a MAG18 ( geez this thing makes some heat )

Chiller is a 1/3 hp no clue on the brand

I ended up reusing all of my sand plus his old sand washed it well and never had an issue
I have to thank Danny for the great deal on the tank along with Joe (Joe31) for coming over and helping me move the tank inside also Jason @AD for any random part I needed he had or got it quickly

I honestly hate the canopy the temps are really high because the heat the canopy holds I have a HEB 5 $ fan in the sump which keeps the temp @ 80 now but I lose so much water I guess I can hook up the
Tunze ATO

Here are the pics
All lights on

My only critique, add a background to hide what looks to be a round mirror hanging on the wall. You may have already brought this up, but I admit I did not read through the entire thread.

nice dude i didnt even know you had this. super nice gold rim and naso

[Mr Cob]

Yeah, nice tang collection. Looks great JT. They are so fat and healthy looking. Big fan of the gold rim too.

nice dude i didn’t even know you had this. super nice gold rim and naso

yea the other tank was eating me up every time i looked at it ( the deep scratches)

im still kind of running the same bulb colors that you got for me ive been really happy with them

oh yea i believe its a powder brown since it has the blue in it ( i may be wrong) the vendors seem to mix powder browns/white cheek / gold rims up

thanks man im just glad they don’t fight much the powder brown tries to run the sohol every so often i think from him chasing sohol he burns the most calories or something ( he's kind of skinny )

[clone]

yep i cant ever tell the difference. powder brown white cheek gold rim.

[lt1z28]

Looks great! Noticed that the water level in the skimmer section is kinda hign. The RS180 skims best in 6 to 8 inches of water.
