Detailed educational video review of my Oceanic 90 Gallon Oak Wood Stand. By NewYorkSteelo. www.newyorksteelo.com
This is my 120 gallon saltwater aquarium that I custom built half the equipment and fixtures on. I built my own protein skimmer, sump, added extensions to the stand and canopy top and I even compiled my own reef scapes using artificial corals and artificial live rock, by siliconing some of them and drilling holes to plug others into the rock. It was a long daunting process to gather everything I needed for this cool looking aquarium, but worth the effort and wait.
Just a video of my first salt tank gunna upgrade bigger one day but for now I think its alright.It is a 55 gall. It has id say 65 lbs of live rock, 4 bags of live sand fiji pink,2 cleaner shrimp, 2 coral banded shrimp, sand sifting star, a neon blue goby, yellow wachman goby, 3 firefish gobys, a diadema, misbar and true perculas, yellow tang, 2 barber post gobys, 3 green chromis, red scooter blenny, horse shoe crab, arrow head crab, and a bunch of snails and hermits.For corals I have xena, brain, frogspawn, acans, trumpets, mushrooms, 6 types of polyps, some purple and white sponge, star polys kenyen tree, and more but cant think of the names. The lighting I have now is 65 watt power compacts 4 bulb. Upgrading to leds soon hopefully. Let me know what you guys think. Thanks.
Hi! This Is the second video of my 55 gallon soon-to-be reef tank that is currently about 4 weeks old. this is a regular all glass aquarium (aqueon) tank and stand with a eshopps hang on back overflow going into a 10 gallon home-made DIY sump. This version is dubbed over with my voice because i have had requests to explain how my system works… any q’s just ask! equipment: – Hang On Back Overflow -DIY 10 Gallon Sump (and all the tubing and fittings) -CPR hang On Back Refugium – Mag 7 return pump -Hydor Koralia 3 -aqua clear powerhead -visa therm heater -and a 216 watt oddysea t5 ho light fixture – Coralife Superskimmer (Super Skimmer) 125 Livestock (for now) -90 Lbs Of Fiji Live Rock -60 Lbs Of ARAG-ALIVE Hawaii black live sand -2 sergeant major damsels – some hermit crabs and snails) – a feather duster – and 1 torch coral (that i saved when i sold the nano cube) -A colony of green eyed zoas – dome polyps -and a mated pair of false percula (ocellaris) clownfish THANKS SO MUCH FOR CHECKING IT OUT! Ratings And Comments Are Greatly Appreciated!
SOMEONE ASKED ME TO UPLOAD A QUICK VIDEO OF THE EQUIPMENT I USE SO HERE IT IS. NOTHING TOO FANCY, ALL HOME DONE, TAKEN FROM MY OLD AQUARIUM WITH FEW UPGRADES, BUT IF IT WORKS WHY MESS WITH IT. I ALLWAYS BOUGHT EQUIPMENT OVERRATED FOR MY SMALL TANK AS I NEW I WOULD UPGRADE SOMEDAY. TANK IS ALL ONE CURVED GLASS PIECE 100 OR SO GALLONS. 80 LITRE HOME MADE SUMP WITH REFUGIUM COMPARTMENT CONTAINING CAULERPA. 300 WATT HEATER IN SUMP. MAY UPGRADE TO 500 WATT OR ADD ANOTHER DEPEND ON RUNNING COSTS. LIGHTS KEEP TEMP WELL UP AND TAKES LONG TIME FOR TEMP DROP IN SUCH LARGE VOLUME OF WATER. CIRCULATION PUMP IS AN AQUA MEDIC OCEAN RUNNER 6500 USED WITH AN 7000 LPH OVERFLOW BOX AND A PUMP TO KEEP SIPHON ACTIVATED 4 X 54 WATT T5 LIGHTING 2 MARINE WHITE AND 2 ACTINIC. COME ON AND OFF BETWEEN DUSK DAWN SIMULATOR. 2 X 40 WATT T8 MARINE WHITE TUBES CONTROLLED BY EXXO TERRA LIGHT CYCLE UNIT FOR DUSK DAWN SIMULATION. LED MOONLIGHTS TURN ON WHEN MAIN LIGHTS OFF. REFUGIUM LIGHT ON WHEN MAIN LIGHTS OFF. SKIMMER IS AN INSTANT OCEAN 800. PH METER. FLUVAL 205 EXTERNAL FILTER FOR PHOSPHATE REMOVER MATERIAL AND ACTIVATED CARBON. SOMETIMES I ALSO PUT SOME FILTER WOOL IN FOR A FEW DAYS TO CLEAN OUT THE DIATOMS. EXTRA CIRCULATION PROVIDED BY RESUN WAVEMAKER. ALL IN ONE TIMER TO CONTROL THE ABOVE. AS YOU CAN SEE ITS NOT ALL THE MOST EXPENSIVE EQUIPMENT AND GADGETS AVAILABLE BUT IT SEEMS TO WORK FOR ME. HAS DONE SO FOR OVER 2 YEARS ON SMALLER TANK SO HOPEFULLY WILL BE OK ON THIS ONE. DONT REALLY ADD MUCH …

90g reef aquarium (48″ X 18″ X 25″) closeup tour. The absolute best piece of furniture In my home. By newyorksteelo. www.newyorksteelo.com
www.bulkreefsupply.com In today’s episode we are going to add a sump to our aquarium, upgrade skimmers and auto top off system. We will also change the way we run GFO and carbon. In the beginning of the video we discuss some of the different ways to plumb an aquarium as well as individual plumbing pieces like check valves, gate valves and bulkheads. In a future episode we add a DIY sump.
The sixth video in my 65 Gallon Saltwater Aquarium series focuses on what I’ve done (so far) regarding the system’s plumbing. I reach out to the community for help / tips / suggestions regarding this unfamiliar territory.
