New 450g Tenecor

[chen]

After a very long wait, my 450gal Tenecor arrived early Jan. It took me another 1 1/2 weeks (few hours each night) with lots of cuts and bruises to show for. The cabinet is 30" had very little room for me to work inside assembling the sumps. After a few leaks and re and re's I've finally got it up and running just now. Still have a few small leaks that I've tried a few times to reinstall but no go so I'm just leaving it with a small tupperware container under it...I'll empty it every few days...really is small! besides, back hurts and all that goes to putting this monster together!...If you can I'd strongly advise you to get the highest possible stand....I could only get a 30" to get through my door!...sigh....anyways....too tire to even look at the tank right now...it's quite loud so need to install the silencer in the overflow another night.....

Sump is 60x18x20, with 2 Reeflow Snapper 18 pumps, smart 50watt UV Sterilizer, 1500w Blueline Titanium heater c/w Ranco Controller, tank is tenecor 8x3x2.5 upgraded preminum package with 1" thick acrylic....now on with the cycling and then tenants moves in......

Tenants:
12" diameter Black Diamond ( 1 male / 2 female )
12" diameter King Henlei Male
12" diameter Female Henlei
9" diamter Leo ( 1 male / 1 female)
12" Tigrinus
17" Super Red Aro

Going to reduce bio load by selling off the pair of Leo....

Very nice set up. I have a 450g getting delivered next saturday for me as well. It was a long wait too, almost 1 month wait for the tank. May I ask what air pump you are using for aeration?

Beautiful tank. Someday I'm going to have a tank that awesome.

sigh....you know what Neo...after playing or struggling with it over the last few weeks..I don't want to see it myself! LOL....the space was so tight i'm not really happy with the connections as I'm still getting some leaks...not a lot but I figure I would have to empty some small containers of water every 2-3 days...not a lot...

The sump is only filled with bio balls for now...but when I shut down my other tank I'll be bagging the ehiem medias from my pro 3 2080 and fx5 which are packed with good ehiem media and dumping them into the sump so I can transfer all the BB's over to the new tank to reduce the cycling. I'll be eventually replacing the bioballs with momotora Bakki house ......

so not much to see from filtration...it's a tenecor sump, with dual overflow's...
