Sean's Concrete Reef Tank

[sean_koekemoer]

Hi all, I have posted before but it has been some time, so I thought of getting more active as time does not always allow it. I had some problems with my setup some months ago and hopefully all is sorted:


Some updated pics of my tank since the "Chiller Incident" that "Boiled" all of my lifestock. Couple of months later and all is going well, except for the Aptaisia and some Algae, but working on that....LoL:

How big is that, and do you have any pics from the build?

 

[FutureInterest]

Very nice. Bravo.

 

[sean_koekemoer]

I do, but to post (or find all of them is really gonna be an issue as it is a really long thread...LoL), I could post a link to my tank but I do not know if I am allowed to do that on this site????

I would like to ask if anyone is interested about the tank history, to please read the whole thread here as I am gonna sit forever to copy and paste all the pages, unless the mods know of an easier way. Here is the link and I will try and upload some pics to start this threadhttp://www.ultimatereef.net/forums/images/smilies/sad.gif" alt="" />I promise I will not attach a link after this again but it is really too much to copy over)

No problem in cross-posting a link on another site as long as you are not promoting the site.

Great build btw...

How can I be proud of my tank after looking at this one? :blush:
BEAUTIFUL!! :thumbs:

Thank you for clearing the "Link" topic Loren K.

Thank you all for kind words. If only you know how many times I "almost" packed up due to problems I had with the setup....

 

[glxtrix]

Ahhh yes, now I remember reading about this tank. There was a thread on RC right? Glad you've bounced back from your little set back and are still reefing.

Looks like your perseverence paid off... I'm positively green with envy! :yes:

 

[sean_koekemoer]

Mmmm, I think Reef Central deleted it as I could not post a link at the time... really some time ago, as well as the fact that Reef Central is so huge, everytime I log on, there is soooo much to read that I barely get to view my own thread.... Huge Community

[sean_koekemoer]

Thank you.... Lol, you funny though.... But I thought I'll save if I do the Concrete walls and one viewing pane, but in the end it worked out basically the same as to have glass all round.. And glass would have been a lot less dust and dirt...

 

[Reefplumber13]

it looks like you took a big peace of the ocean and put it in your wall

Great looking tank! Thanks for the link to the tank build thread, good reading.
