ID:	44658Well here is my new tank i just got. I broke down my 60G and my nano cube and put it all in here. This is what i did i use all the water and all the bioballs and LR and added another 30G of fresh SW. i Used new LS. I let it sit for one day then i put in all my fish and corals in it. meanwhile they stayed in my nano cube. the weird thing is that there was no cycle and no algue bloom i lost no fish or corals everything survived the move well here are the pics from the beggening to today.

Looks like a 110 gallon flat back hex.......

I will never get one again! Pain to clean and the corners distort viewing. Hard to fill the tank w/ rock since there is a loss of space as the corners are cut back.....Oh well!

Stil a very nice tank!

lol not its a regular vacume to clean the house. Its a 100G tank with a wet dry sump. the tank is made by (BR) Bio Reef.
The lenght is 5 feet and its about 18 inches wigth and about 20 inches high my sump hold about 20 gallons total. i will be getting MH this week or next my plan is to maybe modify the canopy in some way. I will get some retro fit MH maybe with a ICE cap ballast thinking of going for the 250w with 14000k and some florecent actinics. or maybe ill just go for the 20,000k MH and no actinic what do you think?

14,000k and actinics will be very blue.

Either go 10,000K and actinics or just 14Kor 20k MH's

If you like a little bluer tank than coralvue 10,000k and actinics is the way to go. I have had them and they are blue for a 10,000K

yeah hover steam vac are a must with kids i will be modifiying my canopy i will add more wood to increase the height another 4 inches. i just have to get some Oak wood. so i can squeez some MH light in there. Right now there is only 4-5 inches of space from the canopy to the tank. it will get to hot in there like that. after i raise it it should be around 7-9 inches off the water. and i will add some fans to the canopy also
