Formosa Forest II

[Jflip2002]

Id imagine the stuff from his "Frag tank" that Id be happy to call my main reef lol.

Jflip; I really like the Aquamedic Pendants. Good quality for the price. Besides that I really like the design of the "aquaspacelight". IMO they look even better then more expensive pendants.
Don't expect that lightspread will be as good as a Lumenarc, but it is performing very well on my 92 Gallon cube.
I'm also curious about the wavebox. All the equipment is in big boxes right now... I can't wait to start this project!

ChrisChris; Basically it will be a bigger Formosa Forest. Mostly Staghorn Acropora, almost no rock, BB. I will focus on large colonies; Acropora, Montipora etc.
I'm trying to make a deal now with several LFS to buy 40+ Apogons that will swim through the new Formosa Forest.

Last Saturay I placed the order for the new tank. This will be the measurements:

Width: 63"
Depth: 43"
Hight: 24" (maybe more, I ordered to go as high as possible with this glass thickness )

So, the tank is slightly deeper than planned before.

whats an apogons?

[Leonardo's Reef]

Apogon, that's a fish species

Id like to see the waves take a little slower path if thats possible. Those are some pretty quick waves!

[chrischris]

ya id get it like that (this is where i snap my fingers) if theres a way i could make the waves slower

[Leonardo's Reef]

Looks good I don't think it's possible to create slower waves; maybe it's possible but the wave will nog be as high then I think.

For me it doesn't matter much. Most of my corals will be SPS so the waveaction won't be really visible. I mostly bought it for the overall water movement

Leonardo

[Jflip2002]

Yeah, I hope to have mainly SPS also. But I just figured the movement of those LPS and softies demonstrates how well the water moves everywhere in the tank. It seems like itd really keep everything suspended nicely. Personally it looks like almost a little too much movement for LPS, it seems like they wouldnt extend fully (flowy ones like hammers, torch, FS, etc). I think otherwise it looks like a great little wavemaker. I think I'll be getting one of those on the 190 =)

Tday I bought some equipment for the new tank;

Schuran Jetstream 2
Dupla pH electrode
AM pH controller
20 KG CO2
3 KG CO2 (backup)
DIY PO4 reactor

The Schuran is a really impressive Ca-ractor...


The reactor+equipment


Aluminium CO2 tank + spare one as backup when I have to refill


Everything together

What's the capacity of that large tank? It's huge!

[Leonardo's Reef]

Its a 20 Kilogram aluminium CO2 tank, about 54 pound. It's 28" tall.

you have amazing looking setup..i am thinking about going with a more "open" display tank on my new setup and letting the corals grow into the extra space. My main question is do you keep live rock/DSB in your sump/fuge to offset the lack of the rock and sand in your displays?
