BaaM's 45G Starphie Oceanic tech Build

[BaaMNYC]

I don't know why i do this to myself but I had a small 3 Gallon pico at work and after sandy I took it down and put all the livestock that survived 2 out of the 4 days of no power into my DT at home. Instead of restarting the 3 Gallon I decided to upgrade to this 45 Gallon! WHY?! lol

Stand and leak water leak test outside. I rinsed the outside of the tank. It's not a failed test with all that water on the floor. Lol

great pick up baam love the tech tanks. whats going in that one ? and what equip your going with

just picked it up yesterday. just doing the water test first. then find a sump and a skimmer and light. so i havent decided exactly how i want to go about it yet.

The tank is at work so i might go with one ai sol. or maybe a T5 setup since I love the growth from my T5.

Also, im probably going lps with this tank since it will just pretty much be eye candy for work and I dont want too much it to be too complicated at work.

thats awesome man! if your thinking of high end lighting like you mentioned why not do a zoa/ anemone tank? throw a few clowns in there. IMO clowns interacting with anemones and with each other is the most entertaining thing to watch in my tank. throw a bunch of nice zoas from your display in there because you have an infestation of rastas on that frag rack lol

Maybe get the light from e.intheC that he's selling.

A tank at work to keep you busy... Great idea! Good luck... those tanks are well built.

Once you have that thing setup, you'll have an office full of admirers and reef addicts, lol... I would have gone bigger if work is paying the electric bill .

work is paying for the electric bill but my partner wont let me expense out the equipment. lol also my lobby is short on space as well until we do planned renovations.

so far I picked up a Remora C urchin skimmer and building a sump from a 10 Gallon standard tank from petco for $10 bucks.

Purchased a current 4bulb t5/MH combo for lighting. Using 4 ati blue plus bulbs and a 150 MH bulb.
