New 210g Home

[renoguy]

Well I finally got the colony moved over to the new system.  Display tank is 84"x24"x24" (210g) wih a 105g sump.  I used white pool filter sand in this tank rather than the play sand I have used in the past, I have to admit that I really like the white substrate better, and it is much easier to see what needs to be cleaned off the bottom.  Full system details are:

210g main display
105g sump with refugium
72" t5 fixture running 6700k lights
Full Neptune Apex system which monitors and controls lights, temp in the main display tank, fry tank, and water change tank, auto feeders, return pump flow and schedule, wav power heads in the display flow and schedule, Auto top off system, Ph, ORP, and a DOS that controls a auto water change system for the fry tank that changes out 5 gallons of water everyday.

I have tried to attach some pics but even though they are much smaller than 1mb it says I am over the size limit.... hmmm

If you download the tapatalk app you can add all the pics you want super easy

I will try and look into that.

It says the forum has exceeded it's attachment limit.

Yes. I posted a thread trying to see how members wanted to resolve this.. So we can come up with some sort of way to donate to the cause to free up space as it costs $$/ month to do so OR people can just use photo hosting sites to upload their photos to and then paste the direct link for the photo right into a post on our forum and then it will appear in the thread.

May even be able to upload to facebook and copy the url here..

Kind of in the same way that people post videos by having their youtube acct host the url... Any video from youtube posted on our forum registers right in the threads.

84 inches long by 24 inches wide is quite a nice aquarium. Congrats.

That is a really nice sounding tank! Those dimensions make for really nice display with plenty of room to roam. I love the fact that you are using a Apex system as well. I really haven't seen that much automation on non reef tanks. Do you find that it saves you a lot of time in tank upkeep?

Make a short video, upload it to YouTube and then paste the link in your thread. The site is still able to host vids.
Looking forward to seeing your set up!

Lets see if this works.....
