Checkin' out Paul's 240-gallon Custom Reef Tank Build Part II 131 12

Reef tank 11 years ago 25,999 views

Taking a look at new developments on Paul's 240-gallon Miracles tank build. The reef tank now is fully operational with all the equipment in place. The sump section is very well organized and contains the refugium, protein skimmer, probes, heaters, reactors, and controllers. There are several fail-safes designed into the system to avoid some of the pitfalls of automation. In the comments below, let me know how many fish you think can reasonably be kept in a system this size! I'll be doing more equipment videos on Advanced Reef Aquarium's YouTube channel. If you want to subscribe to the Advanced Reef's channel, you can find the channel's page here: http://www.youtube.com/user/AdvancedReefing Advanced Reef Aquarium is a company Paul and I started to sell some of our favorite reef stuff.

Great video! Where did the sump come from??

Robinsa Sarna - 8 years ago

I dont get why he went through all that planning and put the refugium beofore the skimmer? In my opinion the refugium should be last before the return pump.

Addae Morgan - 8 years ago

I never think about a number of fish I just keep adding until I'm satisfied.

criscamila - 9 years ago

I love the setup amazing I prefer mp 40 for wave no cord inside the thank. I'll put 20 to 30 fish

casino007007 - 9 years ago

20 fish for this tank .

MrNailz82 - 10 years ago

Considering the fact it is going to be a bare bottom tank.I would think you could house more fish than usual.

Michael Elmore - 10 years ago

Wouldn't put too many fish. A nice pair of designer clowns, purple tang, foxface and a few anthias.

MrWarriorpro - 11 years ago

I really like Saxby's aquarium too. I would love to do a large tank one day that is more like his (basically a public aquarium setup).

achguk - 11 years ago

I would love to see his wiring diagram and a schematic of his plumbing plan. Care to get that geeky? And the more fish the better! Look at Saxby's tank. It's loaded! With all the equipment planned for this system, bioload should be the last of his worries. Schools of fishes swimming through sps dominant reefs are beautiful things.

Theron Willis - 11 years ago

Super awesome!!! Fewer fish definitely. Just a thought though...getting those tunze pumps outta there to clean is not gonna be fun.

MrFiat124Spider - 11 years ago

915Mang - 11 years ago

Looks bad ass, very clean! I would go with a whole bunch of fish, unlike you

sleepytyme1 - 11 years ago

Reggie Patterson - 11 years ago

Preston calquhoun - 11 years ago
