New 600 Gallon Reef Tank Build Called The Hulk

[Farm Boy Reef]

Hey ThefragTank ,Well, I'm finally taking the advice of my followers and starting a build thread here. I figured what better time than now as my 600 Gallon Hulk build is finally off the ground and running. I'm super excited to share the progress with everyone and figured this was the perfect place to document everything.



I had my 600 gallon tank built by Concept Aquariums out of Calgary Canada. Amazing company to work with. The owner Dave Guan was very easy to work with kept me involved with every aspect of the build. I had Dave build my main display tank, stand and sump and everything in between, I've planned and built out every detail. So far, it has been an amazing journey for me. It hasn't been easy but it sure has been rewarding.

As I document this journey, I promise I will share every part of this. The good, the bad, the ugly. I feel like sharing information is the only way we can all truly learn so hopefully you enjoy and follow along with me. I also love to hear from people so post up your thoughts, send me a note, let's have some fun.

So lets all have fun get right down to business.

The Beginning of the story

Episode one Lets dive in see whats going on.

The Next Chapter Hulk Gets Delivered!

aquariums, oceans, reef

Hey Farm Hands,

Today is a very exciting day the 600 gallon reef tank called, The Hulk, was delivered to its final destination. Leading up to The Hulk delivery was stressful. This was my first time designing a reef tank from a custom aquarium company to build and make my dream come true. The company Concept Aquariums out of Calgary, Alberta, Canada took on my project. Dave Guan, the owner of Concept personally seen over the project and was very professional and easy to work with. What was great is we had a lot in common and more than just fish tanks. When I got the text from Dave that my tank was finished, he sent me pictures of my finished tank, the stand and the sump. I had Concept build me the whole package. Why not? Then it’s complete and no more headaches. Trying to find a company to build a sump can be a pain. I asked two different companies to get a price for this build. One didn’t even care to messaged me back and the other company said they would then didn’t bother getting back to me either. I won’t name drop any names because I am a little more professional then that.
TIP: Companies if you want peoples business, you should return a customers calls or emails. If you say you’re going to do the project and you don’t then that messes with a persons time frame for there tank setup and build. You should be a little more considerate then that.
So moving along, now that the tank is complete it’s time to ship The Hulk. Dave setup everything from his end. To ship 1550 pounds of aquarium and gear, it was $250 flat shipping rate to the closest depo to me. I thought that was a great price this tank is coming from Calgary to Ottawa! So the closest depo was in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada at 2740 Sheffield Road. From that location it is about 45 mins south to my home. So next was to get the tank from 2740 Sheffield Road to my home. I have never taken on getting that big of a tank or that much glass before, let alone a delivery to my home. I was going to rent a truck and take on the challenge myself. But the more I though about it, it was getting stressful. What if everything goes wrong? I put a lot of money into this tank, I need it home all in one piece. So sitting around with my buddy Rich Bowie I started to tell him about my tank project and how I was trying to get The Hulk home. Rich speaks up and says, his long time friend Tom has a delivery company that handles all kinds of large projects like grand panios and that he would be the guy. So I called up Tom and he said not a problem. That took off so much stress knowing everything was all lined up. So, it’s Sunday morning and Tom and his brother Steven show up to my home the delivery truck sitting at the road, I didn’t even know they where here I had just rolled out of bed. I guess I had missed there phone call. It was finally time to get The Hulk in the house. They opened the back of the truck and this was my first time actually seeing The Hulk in person. I was like holly hell thats a big tank. As I was thinking in my head, “what the heck was I thinking!?” and “How are we going to get this into the house!?” Thankfully, Tom and Steve had everything all planned out. These guys where awesome and they have such great personalities. Very smart guys. So we took the front door off to get the stand, sump and glass into the house. The only problem was the tank was just a few inches too big to get into my fish room through the front door. So we had to move the truck to the back of the house and get the tank onto my deck. The only problem was we couldn’t get the tailgate of the truck close enough. So Tom and Steve seen that my neighbour had wooden pallets and wanted to build a bridge using them as a support for the ramps. I was like, you are kidding right the tank alone is 900 pounds and there is only four of us. Nope he wasn’t kidding they though it through and made a plan. That’s what we did. We ran across the street and grabbed six skids and made a platform. And when you watch the video below you will see why it was so stressful. What I can say is The hulk is sitting in my man cave safe and sound and everything went swimmingly. A big thank you to Tom and Steve for successful delivering me my new dream tank, you guys kicked ***! I am the kind of person that tries to do everything himself and what I have learned in this hobby is sometimes you need some help, and that letting the pros take the wheel means everything will turn out right. So if you ever get a large tank make sure to have everything into place and let the pros take the wheel. You will get your dream tank delivered safe and sound.

Your weekly Reef Blog All about Flow

YOUR WEEKLY REEF REPORT
THE FLOW
HEY FARM HANDS,
Today we are going to talk about flow in our reef tanks, How flow is one of the most import parts to keep a successful reef tank. Water is one of the more important elements of a reef tank. Water movement promotes gas exchange which increases oxygen, decreases carbon dioxide and helps maintain the pH of the tank. Proper water flow also plays an important role in biological function within the coral. There are many pumps on the market today to choose from, when it comes to choosing the right pump what do you look for. Some people go off the specs others product reviews and flow rates. Some reefers are all about the price $$$. The old saying in the hobby, We get what we pay for. I been there and done that. Did my fare share of DIY. I feel that saying is true. We might pay less and get a cheaper pump or maybe a knockoff. They usually last a year then your purchasing a new one because it stop working in the middle of the night. Then you wish you spent the extra cash. My self I am looking for piece of mind. I need to trust my gear that running my reef. We invest so much time and money in the hobby that its worth spending the extra cash to get a good pump that will last for years, So in my eyes I would make the investment meet half way. So when I chose my pumps for The Hulk build I need pumps that can bring water from the farthest end of the tank because peninsula tanks can be tricky with flow. The Hulk is 96 inches - 8 feet long. The return pump has lots of power to move the water to the end of the tank. The challenge is to bring the water back to the over flow. Plus we need lots of flow around all the live rock and corals, So we don t have any dead spots. Below Pics are the pumps I went with. I did a lot of research read reviews plus check the specs and the price was right. The Gyre XF350 Maxspect with controller was picked.

Some spec on the Gyre XF350
The pump that revolutionized water flow for aquariums has reached the pinnacle of design, performance and control. The 3rd Generation aptly named the Gyre 300 series incorporates all of the amazing features of the original Gyre pumps and improved them to make the best GYRE flow pump yet.

• Unique Flow Virtually Eliminates Dead Spots
• Evenly Distributed Linear Flow
• Discrete Design
• Twin Directional Flow Cages
• Clip on Flow Directors
• Waterproof Silent Suspension Magnet Mount
• Advanced Controller with Mount

Smart Control
All of the Gyre 300 series pumps are compatible with the Maxspect Connect ICV6 control module so you can wirelessly control your pumps using the free Syna-G app from Maxspect. Any combination of pumps can be connected and controlled which means you can now operate a Gyre XF330 and an XF350 using the same control module all with a single power supply. This helps you to tailor the flow inside your aquarium perfectly to suit the needs of your corals without a ton of wires and bulky power supplies under your tank.


Superior Performance
The most noticeable upgrade on the new Gyre 300 pumps is the detachable flow directors which are a welcome addition and allows you to place your pumps even closer to the surface of your aquarium without the worry of pulling a noisy vortex of air and improving surface agitation for maximum gas exchange. You can maneuver each director to point the Gyre flow of water where you need it. Best of all, the maneuverable caps block light from reaching the pump components and will reduce the rate at which algae will accumulate for longer operation in-between maintenance.


Specifications:
Max-Flow - 5280 GPH
Max Glass Thickness - 3/4"
Max Power Consumption - 52 watts @ 24VDC
Controller to Pump Cable - 10ft
Controller to Power Supply - 5ft
Recommended for 80 up to 800+ gallon aquariums.


What's Included?
1x XF350 Pump
1x Gyre 300 Series Controller
1x Power Supply with Cable
1x Spare Bushings
1x Flow Directors & Protective Mesh Covers

THOUGHT OF THE DAY


Farm hands these pumps will be installed very soon. I will be back on my review on how the pumps performed and tested. I want to give my onset opinion on them after I have used them for a month. See if they are worth the money and did they perform like they say they will. Thanks have farm hands stayed tuned for next weeks article on my next adventure.

Your Weekly Reef Blog All about Skimmers

aquariums, oceans, reef
YOUR WEEKLY REEF REPORT
SKIM OR NOT TO SKIM
Hey Farm Hands,
Today we are going to talk about skimmers. Like most reefers in the hobby we all pretty much use a skimmer. There are pros and cons but I believe the pros out weigh the cons but we will get to that in a minute. As a hobbiest we have so many choices on brands of skimmers. You ask yourself, “What’s the right skimmer for me?” Well, let’s break it down. First: The price is always a big factor in this hobby and the old saying is, you get what you pay for. Second: Build quality, you want something that’s going to last. Having a quality pump to take the abuse of everyday flow. Thirdly: How long has the skimmer been on the market, does it have a great review in the reefing community. And that’s what I personally look for when I am buying new gear for my tank. So i did my research asked buddies and other reefers what skimmer they though was a great brand. Everyone kept telling me Deltec. So I jumped online read the reviews and watched YouTube videos on the Deltec skimmer. So I went with the internal Deltec SC 3070.

‘

Deltec Sc3070s
Internal skimmer

SC 3070s Internal protein Skimmer

Deltec's new and innovative SC (Single chamber) range of in sump protein skimmers featuring Deltec's brand new high performance pump featuring class leading energy to air ratio (E-T-A).

Suitable for aquariums up to 6000 lts (1320 U.K gallons)

For over 20 years Deltec GMBH have worked hard to develop the best specialist marine aquarium equipment available on the market and are known throughout the world for the high performance and quality of their protein skimmers. When their patent on the Deltec Pinwheel ran out it opened the market for other people to copy their ideas and to produce pinwheels of their own but without the 20+ years of experience and development that had gone into the Deltec products.

The next generation of Deltec protein skimmers is shortly to hit the market and this time Deltec have developed their own design of pump and spent months getting the right amount of air for the lowest possible power consumption. This has allowed Deltec to set new standards in efficiency and to illustrate the difference they have introduced a new terminology, E-T-A Ratio (energy to air ratio), to allow comparison of Deltec products against others. The new products have an E-T-A Ratio of around 60 to one and can produce 1500 lts of air per hour whilst using only 25W of power. Compare this with the current Deltec modified Eheim pumps, (already renound for their performance), which only produce 600 lts of air for 36W of power and you will understand why we are so excited.

The SC name describes the special Single Chamber design of the bubble chamber which is patented and has the benefit of pressurising the pumps for higher performance and ensures that only unskimmed water passes through he pump rather than reskimming and reprocessing water in the chamber.

The new bubble plate design allows the height of the protein skimmers to be reduced compared with the current range to allow them to fit in a greater number of installations and cabinets. The primary use of the bubble chamber is to prevent turbulence from the skimmer body and neck as turbulence can pull waste loaded bubbles back into the water column causing a reduction in efficiency. The air to water ratio is so high that there is almost immediate reaction with the waste therefore there is no requirement for the tall reaction chambers found on some low air protein skimmers thus keeping the units compact.

Technical Data

In Sump Version - Deltec SC 3070s - This stands for Single Chamber, body diameter 300mm and total height 650mm

The total height measurement includes around 20mm for cup removal
Significantly exceeds performance of AP1004 (2400 lts of air - 230V)
Footprint: 320mm x 320mm
Footprint incl pipework: 383mm x 320mm
Total air produced: 2x1600 to 2x1750 lts/hour
Power consumption: 2 x 35W-38W
Working water height in sump: 180-260mm
Outlet pipe size: 50mm
Tank Suitability: 5000 lts heavy stocking 6000 lts normal stocking
Remote drain of skimmer cup
Air silencers
Micro adjustable skimmer setting
High water flow through the skimmer
Optional self cleaning system
New colour scheme
No feed pump required, skimmer draws water directly from the sump
Article no 813500000


The Pro's of Skimming

Here are some of the consistent comments about advantages of skimming:
1) helps with overall water quality
2) replicates nature, waves crash and skim the oceans leaving skim on beaches
3) water changes are periodic and skimming is constant
4) gives a margin of error in terms of overfeeding
5) skimming the bad far outweighs whatever 'good things' are skimmed
6) one can't test for skimmable products likes metabolites, intermediates, toxins, etc and there are no good data out there as to what 'good nutrients' are skimmed off

The Con's of Skimming

Here are some of the consistent comments about going without a skimmer:
1) removes desirable nutrients
2) too large and make too much noise
3) require additional plumbing or don't fit well with certain systems
4) it's an unnecessary expense if you are consistent with water changes, light stocking and not overfeeding
5) creates microbubbles in the tank
6) possible oxidation of sensitive molecules (one poster listed iodine)
7) some ricordia/zoanthids prefer a small amount of DSO's


Here are some thoughts to help you decide on whether or not to buy a protein skimmer:

1) What is my bioload....am I heavily stocked or do I have heavy polluters?
2) Do I have a tendency toward overfeeding or do I have no other methods for nutrient export (no refugium or macroalgae)
3) Lack of dedicated time for tank maintenance and water changes


My though of the day:

In my opinion Skimmers are a must why not make your reef the best it can be. Test each week and keep your reef happy and healthy. Your reef will sure tell you if its not happy so just keep your eyes open and have fun.

Your Weekly Reef Blog Coral Deal and a Hand shake!

reef, oceans, aquariums


Hey Farm Hands,

Today we are going to hit a different topic that’s right out there. I don’t know about you but have you ever had a coral deal go bad? Or any deal you have found online that didn’t go your way. Well it happens to everyone, people get taken advantage of all the time and some don’t show up to the deal or they just message you while you are waiting saying sorry an emergency just came up and all this BS so all that time just got wasted. It sure can be frustrating. Today I am going to tell you a story about the worst coral deal experience I have ever had and its a creepy one. So let’s get this story started. I was online one day looking at ads in my local town for coral frags. I am from the Ottawa area in Ontario, Canada and the coral selection around isn’t the greatest, it is actually pretty sad. It’s always the same coral frags being floated around but sometimes you can find the diamond in the rough. While I was on Kijiji looking I found a guy that was selling a few nice Zoanthid coral frags, so I said what the hell, lets message him and make a deal. We will keep his name out of the article because it’s too close to home. So let’s give him the name, Hanson The Caretaker from the movie Scream because this guy gave me the creeps, but we will get to the part in a minute.

So I talk to Hanson and he gave me his address and the time to meet. Hanson says to come to his home to pick up the zoas. I usually don’t do deals like this I always just shop at the local fish stores. So we agreed on a time, Saturday at 10 am in. So it’s Saturday I stopped and grabbed a coffee from Tim Hortons to start the day off right. I was on my way to the big coral deal. I show up at Caretakers house I knock and he doesn’t come right away, so I knock again, still nothing. Now I am thinking to myself, great just got screwed over. So I call his cell quick, he answers and says, “Shit I slept in, be down in a minute.” So I am thinking, here we go great start to this day. So finally after 15 minutes Caretaker made it to the door. He had a crazy demeanour to him and crazy look in his eyes. Now I am thinking, do I really want to go into his house? Well I am here lets get this over with. So we head down to his basement, it was dark as hell and had a really bad smell. The whole place was right upside down and I still haven’t seen the main display tank where I would be getting the frags from and I am thinking this guy is a hoarder the place was crazy. Then I heard movement on the floor but I couldn’t see what it was because there was so much garage and clutter everywhere and whatever was coming at us was under the junk moving like a shark, next thing I know boom this little dog a Jack Russell jumps out of the junk onto the couch, “Caretaker says, “Don’t mind him that’s Precious.” Of course his name is Precious, it does he have a ring to it though I thought to myself. Could this day get any weirder. So we finally make it over to the display tank, looking it all over I am like holy hell! It was just full of hair algae, and sure didn’t look like the picture. Caretaker says, “What do you think bud isn’t she a beautiful tank?” As I am thinking to my self I better go along with this. “Yes it’s awesome.” I get it we all love our tanks they are part of us and I would never knock someones tank down as I wouldn’t like that either. So Caretaker says, “Here are the zoas for sale, so do we have a deal.” I am thinking I really don’t want to add hair algae or whatever else was going on in the tank to mine but at the same time I am here and the guy seems a little off his rocker so I said, “How much?” Because at this point I just wanted out! I got the coral and I started to walk towards the stairs to get out of here. Next thing I know he is cutting me off. He says, “I know you from somewhere.” I said, “Nope I don’t think we have ever met.” He then says, “Are you that Farm Boy Reef guy?” Now I am thinking, here we go now what? Caretaker says, “Yes it is you, I follow all your social media, YouTube builds, I am a member of your Facebook club. I am a Farm Hand. I am like shit, here we go Caretaker just used my word Farm Hand lol. Sounds so much different when a follower says it lol. Then at this point he is really buddy buddy with me asking if I want to see his shrimp tank and that he is trying to breed them. I said I really need to get going, I have to get home. I try to head to the door he cuts me off again and says, “It will be really quick, I am a big fan I really want to show you all my tanks. So I am like ok let’s see them. At this point Caretaker is really getting pushy and I am thinking to myself what’s next. Is he going to trap me in here like in Silence Of The Lambs and be like Buffalo Bill and ask tell me, “It rubs the lotion on its skin or else it gets the hose again.” So we looked over his shrimp tank it was crazy like his other tank. Then he starts telling me he can’t wait for his kids to grow up and move out. Then he can spend more time with his tanks. Plus says his wife is always on him about spending too much time with his tanks. He asked me my opinion on what he should do. I am no psychiatrist but I am thinking he needs one and I said, “Buddy kids grow up fast you should spend time with them and your wife.” He looks at me and laughs and says, “Yeah right!” Ok so I really want the hell out of here, I have had enough of crazy at this point. I am like, Caretaker I am leaving I have things to do.” He says to me, “I will let you leave if I can have your signature.” Whatever if that’s what’s going to get me the hell out of this house let’s get it done. Boom! Signed the paper started to leave and he says, “Can you please come back and hangout soon?” I am thinking, hell no I am never coming back here again!

THOUGHT OF THE DAY

So the moral of this story is be careful who you deal with, and never go alone especially in someones house or make sure your family knows where you went and the address just in case. Well that’s my crazy coral deal gone bad.

HULKS LIFE SUPPORT SYSTEMS 600 Gallon Reef

aquariums, oceans, reef


The aquarium life support system is the least seen, yet most important element of your aquarium system.When assessing the performance and overall fitness of a life support system to promote aquatic animal health, it is essential to evaluate the function of every life support component on the system. When I started designing the hulks life support system I wanted to keep it simple as possible and use high end gear that would give me max performance to keeping the Hulk happy. I will go through the Hulks gear I chose plus the fish room and how i planned it out from start finish. So lets jump right in.

What all do we need in our fish room and life support system.
** when it comes to our fish rooms they will be different. We all like different things but we will all have the basics that we will all require to have a successful reef.

Heater – A heater’s role in an aquatic life support system is fairly straightforward: heat the water so that is within the recommended parameters of the system’s inhabitants. There are several types of heaters available to aquarium keepers, which may or may not be appropriate for your system but when choosing one, make sure that the wattage can handle the volume of your system and don’t buy a cheap one.

UV sterilizer – UV sterilizers promote animal health by irradiating bacteria and parasites with ultraviolet radiation. This causes genetic mutations, essentially preventing them from multiplying and causing outbreaks and compromised animals. A side benefit is that this radiation also nukes algae, resulting in less buildup in your display.

Protein Skimmer – Also called foam fractionators, skimmers work by removing dissolved organic compounds from your water, enhancing the performance of other types of filtration on your system and keeping your water clean and healthy.

Pumps – A pump’s performance on your system needs little explanation: they keep water moving through your display and filtration. How they accomplish varies by type and build and not all may be appropriate or recommended for your system.

Sump- slows that issue and increases total water volume. The sump also skims the water's surface, giving you clear water. Sumps also work well to lower the water temperature by up to two degrees Fahrenheit. This can help your reefs thrive and grow.

Reverse Osmosis - One the basic laws of keeping a saltwater tank is to only use water from an RO/DI system for your tank. RO/DI water is very, very clean, so by using it, you won’t be introducing bad things into your system such as silicates, heavy metals and chorine that can cause a major of problems in your tank. **

THE NEW FISH ROOM

Hulks new fish room is right behind the tank. When we did our walk around the house before we purchased the home. I seen this room It would be awesome for a life support systems for a reef tank. So I had to have it. Below is some pics of the room right behind the Hulk. The room is nine feet long x six feet wide lots of room for all the gear and cabinets that will be installing.

PAXBELLUM ARID C36 REACTOR
NUTRIENT EXPORTER AT ITS FINEST !

Pax Bellum ARID C36 Macro-algae Based Bio Filter (300-1000 gal system)
I chose to go with the Pax BellumARIDc36 because I am a big fan of trying to keep my tank as natural as possible. THe ARID c36 runs on macro-algae. I have always ran Marco algae on all my tanks with great success. The concept of using macro-algae as a method of nutrient export is not new. However, the introduction of the ARID (Algae Remediation Illuminated Device) the original, patented macroalgae reactor by Pax Bellum is a quantum leap forward. This ingenious device utilizes macroalgae (specifically Chaetomorpha) to function as a tunable nutrient export mechanism. The unique design of the ARID incorporates a coaxial LED light tube to maximize light penetration and

Tube flange design



The tube and flange design of the device serves to isolate the algae from atmospheric CO2, which effectively limits the carbon source for the algae to only that which is respired by organisms within the aquarium. This is a self regulating feature and eliminates organic carbon buildup (yellowing of the water). The ARID is analogous to a lung for the aquarium, by supersaturating the aquarium with oxygen created by the algae during its respiration while removing excess CO2. Pax Bellum recommends running the ARID on a "reverse daylight" cycle (i.e.; opposite of the display aquarium) which helps to balance the natural day/night pH swing that occur, and to maintain high dissolved oxygen levels throughout the night when the display aquarium lighting is off and photosynthesis has ceased.

The ARID is capable of Targeting Specific Nutrient(s) for Export. In the reef aquarium the main concern is balancing the nutrients N:K:C, with the goal of limiting phosphate (P). Usually never in short supply, Potassium (K) and carbon (C) are not dosed. However, Nitrogen (N) can become depleted rapidly by the growth of algae, causing growth to stall. To keep the algae growing, the aquarist should dose the, “Nitrogen+Molybdenum” solution that came with the ARID reactor, at a rate to maintain the ratio of NO3 to PO4 at a minimum of 20:1 and ideally at 100:1 (example; 3ppm NO3 to 0.03ppm PO4). Maintaining this ratio will allow the Chaetomorpha or macroalgae of choice to continue to grow until phosphate levels reach the minimum cut off for growth at 0.02ppm.

Use the ARID with a Calcium Reactor. Purchase the Ca injection assembly (Ca Reactor Feed and Injection Assembly) this compact manifold threads directly into the water inlet on the base of the ARID n24, c30, c36 and inline with tubing on the n18. The assembly can be installed or removed at any time by the aquarist. This optional kit sends water directly to a Ca reactor or peristaltic pump supplying the Ca reactor, and receives effluent from the Ca reactor. This is accomplished by separating the high and low pressure ports by a user preset valve. The effluent coming from the calcium reactor passes through the included drip counter, and then enters the low pressure side of the calcium injection assembly where it mixes with the bulk of the water entering the ARID, making contact with the macro-algae where it is stripped of excess CO2 and PO4 before entering the reef system. This optional kit can increase the growth rate of your macroalgae and with it the nutrient uptake rate and dissolved oxygen production.

Getting the 600 gallon Hulk stand all bolted together because the stand is 4 feet wide it was the only way to get in the house. It’s all coming together I put it in perspective I’m 6 foot two 220 pounds compared to this stand. Plus very happy with the craftsmanship great welding job. It’s bang on level.
