Jay's Shallow Reef

[wt*jayjay]

I recently perchased a really nice acrylic frag tank set up to plumb into my current tank. Well as I work for a LFS and do tank maintenance 40+ hours a week.. some days the last thing I want to do is come home and even touch a tank.. Sooo I decided Im down grading to a "nano" sized tank and I figgured the tank i just picked up would make a killer look down shallow tank.

The tank measures 36"/24"/12". Came with a nice cherry stand, Pan World 40PX and 2 BRS reactors w/mj 1200's. It's all in like new conditon and got it for under $400 so is going to be a killer set up.

Sweet! Love shallow tanks and may do one myself some day. Can't wait to see pics.

Looking forward to see the pics as well. Did you happen to help move a tank for a General Contractor over New Years? If so, I have worked with that guy for 17 years.

Anddddd... I have a glass-holes:com overflow kit in the mail and just drilled the back top corners for the returns which will have Ista vortex water flow accelerators on them. The science behind them seems pretty cool and ive herd decent things about them so I figgured id give them a go.

Which flavor Apex did you get? With the break out box all you need is a few float switches, a pump, and a resevoir.

 

[wt*jayjay]

got the big boy. and yeah plan on just useing a 5g jug for a resevoir. guess i need to research a good switch/pump to use
