Adrnalnrsh Posted August 14, 2012 Author Share Posted August 14, 2012 A couple more with all the lights on Anyone know whats growing on this one? Link to comment
Singlefin Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 Looks good. How long have you had the light running? What is your old light and have you seen any difference in coloring and growth? Link to comment
Adrnalnrsh Posted August 20, 2012 Author Share Posted August 20, 2012 Looks good. How long have you had the light running? What is your old light and have you seen any difference in coloring and growth? I was running this light at really low settings on my old 10 gallon. This tank has been up for one week today with this light. I had two panorama pros and one stunner on my 10 gallon before this new light. So far I love the color - I don't have everything the way I want it, I need some more base rock to raise some of my corals up. I have a majority of my SPS in a frag rack on the left. I upgraded the flow too. Link to comment
Adrnalnrsh Posted August 20, 2012 Author Share Posted August 20, 2012 Here's my new $20 mini colony I got from a friend who runs a store. Its a dark brown/purple tip mini-colony. I can't wait for it to color up. Link to comment
Adrnalnrsh Posted August 20, 2012 Author Share Posted August 20, 2012 Here's my green cap (w/ purple polyps) (LA Lakers Monti?) under blues/ocw/tv - no NW. Link to comment
Singlefin Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 Nice. I wasn't too happy with my panorama pros. Hopefully you'll see some nice growth and coloration. Link to comment
Adrnalnrsh Posted September 1, 2012 Author Share Posted September 1, 2012 Added some new rock - everything is pissed off and water cloudy. THis was over a week ago. I'll get a new FTS today after all the lights are on. Still messing with my ratios. Some new MRCoral frags as well. (some of these are old frags that didn't do well in my old 10gallon, which are starting to do much better now) Link to comment

Adrnalnrsh Posted September 3, 2012 Author Share Posted September 3, 2012 im thinking of going bare bottom for my next tank, just wondering did you paint the bottom , or underside of the tank? or did you leave it clear? Left it clear, top of stand is black underneath. Link to comment
Adrnalnrsh Posted February 24, 2013 Author Share Posted February 24, 2013 Acrylic seem busted open, tank is dead. Selling my light now - had to move everything to my 90gallon. Link to comment
Adrnalnrsh Posted February 24, 2013 Author Share Posted February 24, 2013 Final FTS thread now that the tank is dead. Selling my DIY MakersLED light as well. Link to the LED build http://s291.beta.photobucket.com/user/Adrnalnrsh/media/NewMakersLED/06880169.jpg.html?sort=3&o=14 Link to comment
Psychosis Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 Woah woah woah...it just busted open? Did you contact Tenecor? I thought they had a decent warranty. Link to comment
Adrnalnrsh Posted February 24, 2013 Author Share Posted February 24, 2013 Woah woah woah...it just busted open? Did you contact Tenecor? I thought they had a decent warranty. The back left corner split. It was Acrylic was from Tenecor which went out of business (at least near me) and I had someone build it who owns an Acrylic shop. Lets just say my experience with that person wasn't good so theres no point in reaching out to them after it split. I even went one size higher on the acrylic based on the height. But I could see it bowed a bit in the front. Selling off the skimmer/lights. Link to comment
Psychosis Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 That sucks man. My condolences, it was just starting to shape up in to a really sexy reef. You can all ways beat him with whats left of your tank. Link to comment
Adrnalnrsh Posted February 25, 2013 Author Share Posted February 25, 2013 I hear ya. He won't get my recommendation. Anyhow - I had a 90 gallon I was going to start slowly setting up as an upgrade. Well, it became my emergency tank. Now I am running in my 90 full bore. I lost one coral during the whole process. Link to comment
