asting Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 1000 posts doesn't mean anything when it's junk. How is that helpful? Do you have the lighting yet? If not you should probably research how bright they are. I don't think the 18" model would be enough. Link to comment
Jacob042426 Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 ya, i heard the marineland led isnt very strong, i think? i really like the name of this thread, i wish ihad come up with it... Link to comment
Traggs Posted February 29, 2012 Author Share Posted February 29, 2012 ya, i heard the marineland led isnt very strong, i think? i really like the name of this thread, i wish ihad come up with it... Unfortunately I already purchased the Marineland only to find out later it is not the best. I'm gonna start off with fish and then ease my way into corals. I see a lighting upgrade in my future. Right now I just want the tank to come in one piece.. Link to comment
asting Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 Well it shouldn't be too large of an issue. From what I hear the spread from front to back is rather narrow, but it is enough for low-med light corals. Link to comment

Traggs Posted April 21, 2012 Author Share Posted April 21, 2012 FTS April 21, 2012 White's max dimmed, Blue's fully on Link to comment

From what I hear the spread from front to back is rather narrow, but it is enough for low-med light corals. I'v been MIA since my Camera took a dookie, but I got a new GoPro Hero2 yesterday. As for lighting my marineland decided to go swimming in my tank so fixed my lighting issues. I now have a JBJ unibody 54 and I love it. Link to comment
Traggs Posted April 23, 2012 Author Share Posted April 23, 2012 Newest edition is this deep green BTA. About 3" in diameter. My BTA sits in the skull of my T-Rex rock. I call it my T-Rex rock because IT LOOKS LIKE A MOFO'in TREX!!! See for yourself... Link to comment

Traggs Posted May 20, 2012 Author Share Posted May 20, 2012 I received my JBJ Rimless 30 on Friday. Looks like yours I was so bummed out when my tank came like that! Did you order through Marinedepot? Thats where I ordered from and they shipped it way better the second time around. Link to comment
Trav86 Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 Yes, it was through Marine Depot. They shipped a new one within the hour. I had read a couple post about this happening when I researched the tank. One was probably yours. I thought, what could be the chances of it happening to me too? Heh. I was pretty pissed. I really wanted to see the tank. Still waiting on the stand so I guess it doesn't matter anyway. It seemed to be packed well. The JbJ box was inside another huge box with about a million peanuts. My cat went nuts lol. Link to comment
Criley7 Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 This is a great start, looking good! Link to comment

My cat went nuts lol. Haha I had to keep my kittys from getting in there and possibly getting cut. My tank was shattered even with the box within a box shipping. The second time I received my tank there was sprayed insulation foam between the boxes which could probably get hit by a bat and not break it....makes you wonder why they don't just do that every time. +1, I really like your scape. It looks pro. Thanks! I must have rescaped 5+ times and its actually different since my last pics of it. I think I have found my happy scape. Link to comment
Traggs Posted May 24, 2012 Author Share Posted May 24, 2012 5.23 Update Side shot of my T-Rex rock and his new Mohawk cut ! My new Starki Damsel staring back at me! Close up on my lil Duncan I picked up from the LFS for $10. Photobomb compliments of my Clown. Link to comment

Your wish is my command... (FTS) on page one. Pretty common but Frogspawn is one of my favorite corals Close up of the newest edition in front of the zoa garden. The lone Astrea snail remaining and Red Mushroom (1st coral I got). I have a rogue hermit that is slowly killing my snails...He is unlike all my other hermits in that he has white tipped legs and oversized pinchers... Link to comment
