Alvin's 50gallon Reef Tank :D

[alvinbam2728]

Hi guys! Upgrade na ako from my 10gal to 50gal!!! Kakatapos ko lang mag ayos kung saan ko position itong tank since medyo malaki na so nahirapan ako kung saan ang tamang position, right now as you can see sa picture nasa tabi pa yung 10gal ko for now habang nagccycle itong 50gal pero im planning on putting it beside the sump under the 50gal dt para maging QT ko. Ill be making wood sides for the steel stand so it would look better and para matakpan ang ilalim siguro next week na ko mag start mag cycle after all the wood work is done as well as the plumbing of the overflow and sump. Sana walang maging problems! Ill keep you posted as always thanks for viewing! Jamis eto na! Hehe






My 10gal reef, corals waiting for a bigger home!

It seems like the upgrade bug has bitten so many reefers lately, including myself. HAHA

Very nice and clean build so far. Ganda nito 'pag natapos! Keep us posted!

another update! 50gallon with 10gallon sump now online! checked for leaks and the likes good thing none so far, sana maging ok! ang naging problem ko lang is yung return pvc pipe sa DT medyo na submerge ko ata ng husto hehe muntik na mag overflow yung sump ko pag patay ko ng pump nag siphon lol yan lang muna thanks for viewing!

[gamedawg]

ilang GPM ang return pump mo sir? prang 1/2" lang ata ang ginamit mo para sa overflow mo? Correct me if im wrong but don't you need 2x as much overflow than return?

Hi Alvin, am wondering if your 10g sump is way too small for your 50gal DT, well just a thought, anyways, nice build bro.

Hi guys tanong ko lang dapat ba pag nag start ako mag cycle sabay ang sump? Ginawa ko kse pinagsabay ko yung dt and sump then yung dt nilagay ko na yung LR and sand then yung sump nilagyan ko ng DSB, activated carbon yung bottom layer then yung black na parang sponge then yung white na parang bulak yung first chamber ng sump. Tapos nag mix ako ng 10gal water at nilagyan ko ng saltmix the aereted and nilagyan ko ng pump for 3days to mix tapos yun ang nilagay ko na water sa sump before mag start. Yung sa dt naman after ko ilagay yung mga LR and sand nilagyan ko ng saltmix atsaka ko nag run ng pump and wavemaker circulating the water from Dt to sump. Ngayong gabi nag check ako ng specific gravity ng DT at sump nagulat lang ako magkaiba bkt kaya mas mababa yung sa sump? Ano ba mali sa ginawa ko? Sorry kc first time ko gumit ng sump hehe.

Check mo uli yung SG mo bro, baka mis read lang.

Malabo maging magkaiba yan lalo at umiikot yung tubig, unless sobrang laki ng temperature difference ng sump sa DT.
