Introduction! 1500x700x500 Rimless
Well, here we go again! A recent client (Linnx) had a change of situation so I ended up with their tank and stand. So my system has changed from a 900x623x500 to a 1500x700x500. Details as below.
System objectives:
SPS reef grown from frags with a wide and well suited range of fish. Likely it will get some acans and other LPS in there too.
The main bits - Specifications:
System Volume:
570L
Display Tank:
- 3 Sides Low Iron, Rimless
- 15mm glass sides
- 12mm Base
- 10mm front/back bottom euros.
- 1500x700x500mm
- External Coast to Coast weir, 120x200mm.

Sump:
The Glass sump from my 900 build was pinched and used for this one, although the ATO chamber had to be cut out to allow enough ( :’( ) space once the tank drained once the return pump was switched off.
Dimensions TBA
ATO Tank:
300x300x300mm
Stand:
1500x700x975mm
Top frame - 75x50x2mm RHS
Top supports - 50x25x2mm RHS
Legs – 50x50x3mm SHS
Base Frame – 50x25x2mm RHS
Equipment:
Lights:
TBA but currently thinking 8x39w Sunpower with a 250W halide on either side. Alternatively Possibly 2x400W halides and some supplementary T5’s.
Skimmer:
Reef Octopus Ikstrakt 4 – Thanks to Eastwood Aquarium
Return Pump:
Tunze 1073.05 3000lph fully controllable.
Heaters:
Eheim Jager 2x 600W
Display Tank Circulation:
Tunze… Suggestions?
Calcium Reactor:
The calcium reactor and setup will be on display at the front left of the stand allowing easy access and observation of the system. Plus it will look kick ass!
