New tank build for my GSP
Posted: Tue Oct 30, 2018 5:55 pm
Hi All,
I just setup my first puffer tank.
I got this scratched up 55 gallon tank off craigslist for next to nothing and built a small sump into the side of it. The design was apparently flawed as I wanted to keep different water levels in there for the future protein skimmer but the flow from column one into column two is too fast and its all almost the same water level. So now the protein skimmer will stick up out of the top.
The back and front of the sump section are spray painted black and I cut cheap green house roof lids for the top. I didnt want to spend a whole lot on this tank. The stand was a really cheap one on ebay. I plan on removing a lot of that filter floss, it was all jammed in there to clear the dust from the crushed coral out of the water.
