50 Gallon Tank

This is my next project it's a 50 breeder that im making an External overflow for it's all made out of glass
& it has two 1.25 bulkheads, Im also adding a piece of 1/8 thick black acrylic on the inside & i will have teeth
cut in to it to handle a good amount of flow, u can see the black acrylic on the bottom of the tank
u get the idea right.

20 Gallon Refugium

This is a 20 Gallon long that i will be using as my refugium it has a single 65w pc light
i routed groves in to the acrylic so the light will never fall in the water this tank will
also be drilled with a 1 inch bulk head

Pump

40x Blue line pressure pump with 1 inch true unions, this will have a SCWD hooked up to it.

Sump

This is a 30 gallon tank it will be drilled on the side with a 1.5 inch bulkhead
Stand
 

Sump & Refugium

Due to room issue's i had to build a Sump-Refugium all in one because i could not fit 2 20 gallons under
the stand, i dint have enough height to service the refugium so i ended up with this.
The Tank
the tank was set up on 1-2-05 i transfer 40lbs of L/R from the old 29 & the Live sand that had lots of life
i also added another 40 lbs of cured rock that i had in my 150gallon sump, all in all the tank is doing well
i added 60 gallons of water from my 210 to help with the tank & it has worked out well.
i will keep adding pictures as the tank matures.
tank has 1 250w MH 20k XM,.
Taken 1-9-05
 
went back to these to help with micro bubbles
looks better everyday
