45G LPS-SPS tank

[nanokiper]

After fairly successful with 30 gallon tank, I decided to set up a larger nano reef tank (45 gallon cube). The tank is designed to minimize pitfalls of a reef aquarium. I never bought pricy gadgets since I usually plan and fabricate my tank’s equipments. I am more fascinated with my corals thriving and seeing my DIYs working and doing their job.

To begin with, the stand is made of scrap wood


Overflow


After reading a lot about reef tank lightings, I resided to use 14000K-150 watts metal halide with two 24 watts blue T5. I am using the mini luminarc reflector since the tank is just 15 inch deep; also, better light spread than that of lumenbright reflector.


Metal halide only


With blue T5

Thanks for viewing

nice tank sir! paturo naman kung paano niyo ginawa yung harang sa overflow?:D will you varnish the stand pa or as is na?

Nice tank nanokiper! Id just like to ask how you built your holder for the reflector and t5's? I was thinking of adding a pair of t5's also but didn't know how to go about it. Would you mind showing me some pic of your lighting assembly?
