Hey AllSo, I just got my new All-Glass 54 Gallon Corner Tank.
Anyway, I figured that this would be the chance to try out some new technology I have been wanting to buy.I purchased a new home about a year ago and it was a little large for just myself and my wife. (5 Bedrooms and we have no kids...) So, after turning the downstairs bedroom into an Office, I opened up the stairwell and turned the upstairs bedroom into a private television/video game/sitting room. It is what my wife calls my "guy room." I even painted the walls a deep red to contrast the blue/black furniture. Now I can keep my big screen, video games, fish, etc. away from the formal living room or den. (Keeps the misses happy, which keeps me safe......
)
I am sure I could have gone bigger, but 54 gallons is as big as I was willing to go on the second floor of my house. Plus, I think it fits nice in the room.
Anyway, I am not sure what I will be putting in the tank yet. I am open to any suggestions you may have... (I may purchase smaller fish and transfer them to my larger 90 gallon office tank later...) I guess I have a month to decide!
The Tank:
* 54 Gallon All-Glass Bow Front Tank with Black Oak Stand and Glass Cover
The Lighting:
* 2 Bulb 24" Electric Ballast Flourescent with One T12 Blue and One T8 White Bulb
* 24" Moonlight LED Strip Light (Should be here late next week.)
* 4 Bulb 12" Electric Ballast Flourescent with Two T5 Blue and Two T5 White Biulbs (Should arrive late next week.)
Heater:
* Fluval Digital Display E200
Water:
* 5 Stage RO/DI with 5 Gallon Storage Tank
The Filtration:
* Fluval G6 with new Fluval G-Nodes, Fine Mechanical Filter Cartridge and Carbon Cartridge
Protein Skimmer:
* Not Decided Yet
Electronics:
* Two Noma Digital Timers
Water Flow:
* Two Koralia 3's
* Dual Directional G6 Outlet
Substrate:
* 40 Lbs of Aragonite
Live Rock:
* 60 Lbs of Live Rock (Should Arrive on Monday.)
All comments or ideas are welcome!
