I really want to get a good pic of my new Candy Basslet its a Liopropoma swalesi not a Liopropoma carmabi which is the super pricy one but she still would retail for about $85 though ( i got him for free in a trade)

Can we get a full equipment list update? I am wanting to get this same tank and run it with 4x24w T5s. Thanks.

Here Ya Go

Nice list. Any reason you went with an MP20 over the MP10?

Um well i had both at one time i went witht the m20 becauase i had a extra wet side and i decidied to sell the m10. the smaller power head would be more than enough at the moment i have the mp20 running at about 60% on reef crest mode

Thanks. I am thinking of going with the MP10 and wondered why you were using the 20. Tank looks awesome.

Very nice tank you got here! There are some crazy pieces in here. Nice photos also.

Well its been a very busy weekend Lots and Lots of new chalices

Tyree LE True Robokaki

ATL Watermelon Chalice

AQL Creamsicle Chalice

AQL Ziggystar Dust

Tubs Alien Eye Chalice

AQL Yellow Eye Guy ( I kind of knicked it when it fell in my tank)

scotty,

you are a collecting machine. lol

when is the next upgrade? your tank must be super packed

He is. I need his coral haha.

I have more than one tank but latley i got rid of some acros to make room for some of these guys. I am really not sure if i want to up grade I really don't have the room to put a tank anywere i my house. Too bad i didnt see you at the auction i would of gave you some free coral i had a box full of them there just sitting at my feet. I provided some of aqualifes corals

Coral picture Update

Blackberry Undata

ORA German Blue Polyp Acro ( the polyps arnt out but i think you can see them
)
Tubs Half Moon Monti ( I love the Bi-color polyps)

My own Mean Joe Green Monti ( you can see in the pic but its polyps are bi-colored and its very similar to a sunset monti)


Red Tigar Stripe Chalice (this guy is a slow grower)

we about a hour ago i heard a pop and the sound of rushing water i can out to find that my tank had craked from top to bottom luckly i saved everything in a tub that i had aying out side. It was nice knowing you cad 22 :-(

Oh no!

yeah its a bad deal sorry about the bad spelling i didnt proof read it. i really have no idea why it broke though

Id contact Cadlights and let them know. They should replace it. Thats ridiculous. Very lucky you were at home when it happened.

that is wild. if there's one thing that i've never been worried about with the cad tanks, it's the glass.

any theories as to what caused the break?

That's crazy! Wow! Never thought that would happen. What's up next then?

Time for an upgrade!!!!

i heard from my friends in California that there have been 40 earthquakes or something like that in California this month and there may be a bigger one coming soon. maybe its the vibrations from the quakes.

Well i have had the tank for two years and i have no probems with it at all. but i think i will at least send them a email showing what happend. I am really glad i was home when this happened I am also gad i had everything to get a life support ggoing in a matter of 3min too most people arnt soo ucky






well i contacted NR member "bluenassarius" and he has a group buy for 30br and 40br in my area and i hope i can get inline to get one so i can get everything back to normal



yeah a forced upgrade do you love them lol

the pics

pease dont mind the alage my tank was doing great but it need a bit of cleaning on the curves and the leaking saltwater didnt help lol






thanks everyone for you concern it means a lot

Wow I would never have the luck to be home for that type of disaster... Glad you got everything saved. Hopefully the forced upgrade will bring great things in return..

I guess you can say you had it filled to the brim and it busted at the seams..

Damn son. I would have been hurting. I have the tanks to get a reserve, but getting the saltwater in and up to a decent temp would be my worry. Glad you saved everything. Solana maybe?

WOOOOW!!!!


Im speechless.....
If Sam cant get you a breeder, you can purchase one of mine....

I'll prolly need a smaller size tank for the sump anywho....

lemme know what happens, Scott.

you are not kidding about that crack. that is terrible.




ya, i agree with this -- how do you get the water up to the right temperature, with a microwave and ice cubes until it looks right?? crazy.

i only keep about 5g of salt water mixed up at any one time. that would be an absolute nightmare. were you able to salvage any of the original tank water?

i'm pretty impressed with what a good job you did getting that all together as quickly as you did.

Did the water short out anything? were you running a power strip that got wet or anything?

Dont underestimate a reefer in distress....
Especcially this guy.

i'm checking to see if they can add to the order for you scott. i'll let you know as soon as i hear from them.

the probelm there arnt any seems I'm stil trying to figure out how this basterd cracked



well i had time to drain out about 1/2 the water volume thank god as for the rest i have 7 gallons of fresh saltwater that i keep inside so the temp was too bad i also put two heaters in there when i first happened



I think sam going to hook me up but thanks mike who knows i might stil have to take up up on that offer.



no my water temp was abut 80 to start with and i added new saltwater all the fish seem to be ok. I don't know about a my corals though i haven't had the hqi on






thanks bro




thanks it means aot

hey scott,

the best price they can do on the 40br is $80 since they cannot add it to the group buy. its $8 more than the group buy price. to get the discount, the combined order needed to be placed approx 48 hrs in advance. they have 1 of the 40br in stock right now. lmk if ya want it, i'll text to them to have them hold it for ya. the tanks for the group order are arriving tomorrow.

ok sam if you can shoot them a text I'll go pick it up

scott,

head over there. i texted them and they replied said to just come on over.

It was nice knowing you CAD....you broke my heart LOL

wow that sucks scotty. Im glad you were able to save everything.

lol

did you go pick up the tank yet?

yeah i just got I'm painting it back as we speak. thanks sam

Sweet deal!


Pics when complete?

Sorry about everything man! That really sucks! Hopefully everything will be alright!

Good luck!!

have you talked to Eddie yet? i'd love to know what he says.

Nope i havent heard a word well my best guess of why it broke is. when the tank was formed and bent it left a weak spot right before the bend and with the constant strain of holding the water it just failed. I honesty doubt he wil do anything its been two years since i bought it ( i know i can believe its been that long)

Upgrades are always nice. That's really too bad, I look forward to the new tank

cool, we need pix

Its alive and i did a pretty quick turn around less then 24hrs. so it all there it still need to come up to temp and replace the rocks and livestock but its up and moving. I'm going to have to due a lot of upgrades but i think i can limp though for a little while




thanks everybody for your help and support

wel i found my first casualty, its nothing big i guess when i was running round with my head cut off i took out a chalice frag and i put it into a bucket of crappy water full of detrius which is now ike 60 degrees... its pretty much dead........ life goes on

I do that to at least 1 or 2 frags everytime I do a big move....
Mostly I set something down, forget it's there and... squish!
dead frag...


Breeder looks great!
Did you paint all 3 sides?

More pics! I assume everything is in the tank now, I wanna see!
