Good luck! I've had my 29 for 2 years now and it's great, come a long way since the beginning...

 

Thanks! Your tank is looking very good.

 

Keep us posted. Your 14 gal looks awesome.

 

The 14 was a lot of fun but I am ready to try something bigger with a few more fish/coral.

Your 14 is unreal. Looking forward to seeing how this 29 turns out. What are you doing with your 14? I'm in the same boat. Have a BC14 and just started a BC29. Trying to decide if I'm keeping both or concentrate on the 29.

How do you like the way the three panorama's look on the bigger tank? still bright enough? any pics of the retrofit?

I am going to sell the 14. If I have a hard time I will keep it and set it up another time.

 

Oooooh, RGB module.

 

Someone's playing it fancy B)

 

oh yeah. It's a lot of fun too. I will post a video sometime

They look awesome. I was able to fit the 3 plus the RGB one too. I only use the RGB one when I am looking at the tank and trying different colors.

 

Looking good! Defintiely tagging along.

 

Thanks!

 

FTS as of today with the water all clear now

Your tank looks great. Makes me want a 29er. Ive been looking at the ecoxotic modules and was wondering if 1 module would work in a 14 gallon biocube or is 2 a must? Also are they really as simple as just plugging them in or do you have to buy seperate chords and such?

The size of the new tank is awesome. I wish I would have got the 29 in the first place.

 

I took all the water, rock, sand and moved it over. I have tested the water every day since the move and had no spikes at all with my API test kit.

Get 2 Panorama Pro's with the 3 way splitter. The ones I have you need a power supply of each light.

Why a 3 way instead of a 2 way. Where did you get a power supply. I hope i can swing the money and can tell the difference in my tank. 200+ dollars is alot if there isnt a huge noticable difference you know? Thanks.

I think they only make a 3 way. You can get everything at http://www.marinedepot.com

 

I think you will be very happy. The hardest part is going to decide what color lights you want.
