Default Joe's Wet Dream, A 600 Gallon Work In Progress
Hi folks, new to the site, I live out in Western Washington, on an Island 30 miles North of Seattle. I started working on the design of my dream tank 14 months ago, it was crafted out of acrylic by a friend of mine who does incredible work, the hood and stand skin are brushed stainless, thought I'd post a few pictures. Here's a brief sybopsis of my equipment:
.
1000 gal system by Clear Fabrications: 600 gal tank w/ 250 gal sump/fuge & 120 gal RBTA Fuge. 600: Iwaki 70 sump return, Iwaki 55 w/1 HP Tradewind Chiller, 3 Hammerheads w/ OM 4-Ways for 12 CL's. Bubble King 300 Skimmer, Precision Marine 622 Ca++ Reactor. 4 x 400w MH w/Icecap ballasts & Lumenarc reflectors, 6 x 140w VHO w/icecaps, ReefKeeper 2 Controller. 120 Fuge: TEK 6 x 54w T5, Iwaki 40 return, OM 4-way CL w/Iwaki 70.

With a tank like that you should get a manatee. They are generally reef safe, but will eat macro algae if you plan to plant the tank.

Thanks for all the Compliments guys, I do appreciate it. The dimensions are 72" x 54" x 36" , the water went in on October 28th if I remember right. I had 800 pounds of LR cooking with a skimmer for 5 months in a 500 gal kiddie pool, NO3- had dropped to 0 in the curing vat when I set up the tank and filled it, so the tank was basically cycled from the get go with LR that was not only cured but into the whole denitrification thing, normal tank cycling parameters went out the window between that and the water volume involved. I'm currently exporting around 8 pounds of chaeto a month from the fuge, no nitrate or phosphates detected as of yet, knock on wood. How much would it cost to ship a manatee to WA???...
