140G Oceanic Tank setup..coming soon!

[jackson6745]

Looking forward to seeing it all put together! Nice choice of equipment so far. Only suggestion I have is to be sure to vent that lighting system well. The low canopy doesn't allow for much airflow even with an open top.

Really off to a great start Johhny, Good Luck
Can't wait until I start my 210 Build.

Nice setup!! One question...why do you put co2 into a reef tank? I can see a planted f/w tank but what are the benefits to a reef?

Hey Rich, thanks! Where have you been! LOL...hows it going with you? With that fixture, I am not going to use the canopy. So, I should have plenty of
ventilations.

Luis, I'm hoping for a nice setup! Look forward to see your 210. I'm sure it will be awesome.

Jay1335, the CO2 will be for my calcium reactor, my tank will be mostly SPS.

Drilling (5) holes for Close-Loop

The center hole will be drilled 2 3/8" for the 1 1/2" bulkhead, the other (4) holes will be drilled 1 3/4" for the 1" bulkheads.

(2) holes will be 24" apart and 4" above the surface of the sand.

The other (2) holes will go as low as they can go, as they will be going under the sand.

Johnny I can't wait to get this all set up for you. Call me if you need anything.

It's looking nice, just to clarify, it is about 150 gals(149.2). Just use a tank calc if you're unsure, or if you cant find one, multiply all the dimensions together(in inches) and divide by 230.96.


interested in how those LED lamps work:scratchch
