Thanks. Indeed I was lucky.

I added Aguaglobe's 300GPH PH today.
So here is break down of the flow.

480 GPH (Blueline 480 GPH) + 290 GPH (Maxi-Jet 1200) + 300 GPH (Aquaglobe) = 1070 GPH

Now I know there is some head pressure so its safe to say that I have about 900 GPH going thru NC6. Also Aquaglobe PH is so small that you can hardly notice its there.

Here is pic.

Oogie, i have to thank you for your support.

Oogie, where did you get your aquaglobe? I've been looking for a vendor, but can't find one online... Was it a local purchase?
oogie
ccjung: Thanks for your kind words. You are the who inspire to mod my cube!!!!

calvin415: Yes, I did get it localy. I am not sure where you can get it online.

Now I have added 2 more acro pieces.
Here are the pics.

Here is shot of Acropora hoeksemai.



Here is shot of Acropora Prostrata.



Here is shot of my acros so far.



Here is full tank shot.



I took this shot right after light came on, so hopefully in couple weeks, it will color up nicely!

Thanks

Very nice!
Babycakes
looking great oogie! dangit, i missed out on your sale of the squirt and blueline. *snaps* darn!
keep us updated!
Kogut
Looking great.

I have to admit that when I saw your peltier I laughed. Then listened to the quiet hum of the 120mm fan blowing through the radiator a few feet away. wink.gif I have to ask you (sry it's off topic)... What do you use for tubing on your PC? Mine lasts maybe a year (at most) and then it gets very limp and kinks off, forcing me to un-OC everything and the temperature rises up A LOT. sry it's so off topic. tongue.gif

That purple/green acro is awesome. Should grow out great (especially w/ all that flow) wink.gif.
oogie
shroom: Thanks as always!

Babycakes: I am sorry you missed it too! Your tank is comming along great!!!

Kogut: Well, I just use silicone tubing and it seems to hold up. I haven't had any noticable kinks and didn't have to replace it YET!

Finally, owner of oogiecube moved in.

Here is my Sixline Wrasse getting dripped. I acclimated him for about 1 1/2 hours.



Here is him in the tank. He is already looking for worms and pods.



Thanks
Sinistard
Looking good.

That 6 line is going to be in shape swiming with all that flow, its like a fish tread mill:P

Oogie

I have been following your thread for a while now and I just wanted to say that your tank looks amazing. And thoese are some wicked mods.
Good luck to you in the contest,

L
Kogut
Fish looks great, Oogie! Tank's looking really good, too. He should add a good bit of color and activity to the system.
oogie
Sinistard: I was actually worried about the flow for sixline but he is actually having great time in there with tons of flow.

Coralcrazy: Reason for the link is because i didn't like way they handled biz after tanks start craking. Hey where in NJ r u in? I am in Fort Lee.

LukeP77, Kogut: THanks for the comments.

I added few more frags. I will take pics of individual frags when they recover from shipping stress.

Here is full tank shot.

brianemone
yeah the sixlines love surfing in the flow, why not make a little hedgehog out of green star polyps for your centre peice??
oogie
brianemone: Thanks for that comment! And yes Sixline really do love the high flow.

Here shot of one of new frags I got.

kewliz
Oogie- been reading thru this whole thread. AWESOME setup, dude!
Can't wait to see the finished project. You're mad!
coralcrazy
Wow Oogie- you are in Fort lee, hahah I am in Leonia. Cool!!!
oogie
kewliz: Thanks!!!!

coralcrazy: Wow leonia. you are next town over! We should meet sometime!!!!

I was feeding my sixline today, and one of mysis shrimp got in to overflow box and sixline followed it! He got sucked in to bulkhead and all the way down to sump and got caught by filter sock.

I gently removed him and put him back in the tank. He lost some scale, and I could see some damage on his body. He still ate whatever was floating in the tank, then when to his little sleeping cave and stayed there since. I hope he will make it because he is really cook guy.

Thanks!
FishFreak
Hopefully he will make it oogie.
Travis
You may want to QT him and dose MealFix, but if you don't, he should still be OK.

I realy like the rock work now that you redid it alittle and you added the SPS Frags, good job. wink.gif
oogie
FishFreak, Travis: Thanks alot for your comments! I hope he makes it too. It was little frantic for me looking for the little guy. I guess its normal for fish to act timid after such a ordeal right? I mean he escaped death! Lets hope he will be alright. Thanks again for your reply!
phergus_25
my pipe fish went through almost the same thing at the LFS when I bought him, went through the overflow and down into the sump sock, but hes fine and I would think he would be more fragile than the wrass

Wow, that makes me feel so much better. Thanks so much for that info!
phergus_25

tnguy86
oogie, your corals are beautiful...where are you getting all of these awesome corals??
oogie
phergus_25: Wow nice lfs. Offering 7 day live guarnatee! I wish I had lfs like that around here.

tnguy86: I get some at LFS but i get most on-line. These are my favorites. Phishy Buisness, Reefer Madness and Frag Farmer. These three are great!!!
coralcrazy
hey oogie, there is a local fish store near by us, it is called Aquarium Warehouse, the guy is good. One thing you must do with his fish is acclimate them. He is a good guy and you will end up liking him, yea sure we could meet some time lol. smile.gif You are crazy with all your tanks, do you have any plumbing backround, or just a DIY master?

Oh I am no plumber. I am actually a classical musician! LOL
Anyways I know aquarium warehouse on route4. I don't like it as much as Absolutley Fish and Reef Encounter.


Nice to see neighbor on n-r.com!
phergus_25
yea they are good to me, we do a few trades here and there so we both treat eachother good
coralcrazy
yea the quality is better at reef encounters & Absolut fish, i am just lazy plus, i go to school in the city, he is just easier for me to reach. smile.gif
Orange Crush
how's the fishy doing, oog?
oogie
phergus_25: Yeah nice to have good LFS near you. I read about your pipefish thread. Sorry for the loss!

coralcrazy: Gotcha! What are you majoring now?

Orange Crush: Thanks for asking! He is doing great! Even his damaged scale is recovering nicely! I am so glad he is ok!!! I really like this guy!!
FishFreak
That's great news about the fish!

Here is another colony I got today.



Here is a full tank shot!



Thanks!
oogie
Here is little surprise I found!

In the new SPS colony i just bought, there is a acro-crab!

I never had those. It seems really cool!



Thanks
Travis
Yeah, they are some cool little buggers biggrin.gif I had one in one of my Acros b4.

Tank is realy starting to look great Oogie! Why are those two frags up front not mounted?
g0tfish
Winner of the contest goes to...
FishFreak
Contest...What contest?
Maxvan1
lol.

Have to say, Oogie does have the best DIY work so far, but other people havnt even showed anything, never know...

Looking better (rocks wise) wink.gif
Kogut
Tank looks great! You'll love the little crab. They're very useful in keeping your coral free of debris and the like. Also pretty fun to watch.
chimeranzl
Legendary, some ingenious ideas - I love it. Some real nice frags you got there too. You adding any substrate? I think it will give it a more natural feel?!
Travis
Those Acro Crabs also eat Red Bugs wink.gif
oogie
Travis: Wow I didn't know they eat redbugs too! Thats great news! I mena these days red bug is causing so much scare. Thanks for that info!

chimeranzl: Thanks for the comment!

Kogut: Wow thats great news about acro crab! Thanks for the info.

Maxvan1: I am glad my rock is starting to look better. Thanks for your input!

FishFreak: At this point I am enjoying this tank very much. I am not so tied up on this contest anyways! But thanks!

g0tfish: Thanks for your comments! I like you avatar! Very nice!

:/ oh yeah, lol

Sorry, I am total noob in sps, just way to pricy for me X)
Kogut
Yeah... In my experience, they live and die w/ their chosen coral. Never leaving for anything. :| Kinda sad that they don't service all the acros. tongue.gif
phergus_25
Wow I really like the new colony, great colors. I'v got my eyes on one like that at the LFS. as always its lookin good. check out my thread got some good shots.
