Niz Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 I got my up and running in the beginning of October and haven't been able to do much with it due to work and money. But here's what i'm rockin with AGA 55g (durr, of course) AGA black pine stand ESU 65 g needle wheel skimmer AGA 20l sump (not in full function yet, waiting for more funds to get a better pump) So now i have a marine land bio wheel HOB filter with no wheels on it. 48" ESU Lunar Aqualight Deluxe Series Double Linear Strip PureFlo 2 50GPD RO/DI Unit 100 lbs of Fiji Live rock and two damsels, lol. on order as of today: HYD PUMP KORALIA 2 UL 600GPH (x2) But the good news is that i have the next few weeks off for vacation and i'm going to be putting double time into this bad boy. Here's some pics. Going to work on the aqua-scaping a bit today. current when i started it Link to comment
Anime Gee Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 I have a 20 gallon AGA, but I also have a 55 gallon AGA with a few African cichlids left over. I'm thinking of converting the 55 gallon to salt, but I'm trying to avoid the whole drilling & sump deal. I don't think it will be feasible. Anyone have a 55 without a sump? Basically, I'm taking my 20 gallon & turning it into 55 gallons. ^ That's my current 20 gallon & that's how I want the 55 to end up looking, but without all the fancy equipment other than the fancy lights. Heh! Is it possible to do it like I've done with the 20 gallon or should I just go out & get a whole new drilled out tank? I'm trying to go as natural filtration as possible & minimal equipment. Hmmmm.... (^_^ ) ?? Link to comment

Kraylen Posted January 5, 2009 Author Share Posted January 5, 2009 Excellent! I tore down my 55 here in AZ and an starting two of them in CA I think. Link to comment
itzclayyo Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 Here's my 55. Been goin for about 2 years. 260 watts of pure pc's, pic just actinics. The tangs have been in there for about 2 months do to a friend breaking down his tank, and they will go into my 135 once it's setup. Link to comment
Kraylen Posted January 10, 2009 Author Share Posted January 10, 2009 Nice 55 man.What hood is it? Coralife 4 bulb? Link to comment
itzclayyo Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 Nice 55 man.What hood is it? Coralife 4 bulb? Nope, just an odyssea off ebay. I switched out the bulbs though for current usa bulbs. EDIT: Still 4 bulb though, 4x65 Link to comment
Kraylen Posted January 10, 2009 Author Share Posted January 10, 2009 Sick man, hows that light holding up for you? I've been really wanting to pick up the 4x65 + 2 x 250MH Odyssea hood and do evilc66's ballast upgrades. 760w of light is an insane amount, I could run just the 500wMH... either way it would be SICK growth for whatever I do.

It's been doin great actually, I don't even bother using the legs it came with though, just rest it on the tank. When I first got it one of the actinic bulbs didn't turn on but after a few smacks it worked and still does to this day. I also have a 250 watt odyssea on my 30g, have had it for about 7 months. It came working fine except the moonlights, just one of the wires came out- no biggie though, just some electrical tape fixed it. Didn't have a problem with the moonlights on the pc's though. The fans are pretty damn loud for the mh though, pc's are about average I would say. EDIT: the bulb that comes with the mh is a POS as well Link to comment
Kraylen Posted January 10, 2009 Author Share Posted January 10, 2009 yeah thats the only think I hate about MH is the loud fans, but then again all my equipment is loud... sump... skimmer... lights, all noisy as hell. Link to comment
jjjo Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 the former tank no longer in existance Link to comment
Thunil Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 Here's mine, I'm runnin: 55g display 20g fuge with LR and Chaeto skimmer: reef octopus 350 External / BH-100 hang on 2x 150w metal halides 2x 4ft NO actinics 66 lbs of LR in display (probably more than that now) as for fish I currently have: A spawning pair of occelaris clowns (1x black and white 1x normal) 1x Western Australian lawnmower blenny 1x exquisite wrasse 1x sixline wrasse And i want to add a potters angelfish and a long nose hawk Here's the pic edit: put up a more recent photo Link to comment
Kraylen Posted January 23, 2009 Author Share Posted January 23, 2009 How long is your light? Link to comment
Thunil Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 my light fixture is just about 4 ft But the ballast for the left bulb just blew, i'm gonna replace it tomorow, that's why its dark on half the tank and also why I've crowded more corals over to the right Link to comment
Roc! Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 I have a 55 gallon sump/fuge, does that count to be part of the club? Link to comment
