Thanks for the comments.

 

My camera sucks and these are the best pictures I could get. I have a hard time keeping the white glare from the light out of the pictures.

 

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to take good pictures? I have a cannon powershot sd600 if that helps.

 

When I get a chance Im going to try to do a price list of all hardware, livestock and everything else I can remember. I have not added up all the prices yet, but I think it will be alot of money spent in the last year.

Here is the list of prices I can recall (Im sure I will forget some)

 

Some of the things listed are no longer used and probably not needed in the first place.

Prices are rounded to the nearest dollar

 

Tank- Ebay- $240 shipped

Chiller-Marine depot- $305 (it was necessary as my apt. gets to 95 degrees in the summer)

Refractometer-Ebay- $28 shipped

stealth 75 watt heater- $15 -(printed online price and had it pricematched at the store)

Jager 150 watt heater- $20-marine depot-not in use as it ran my temps up- save for water changes

marine depot order- $42-locline,tubing for chiller,mj900 pump,U-tube (the only thing still in use is the tubing,locline did not work)

Dr foster and smith- $50- misc. tubing,locline parts (no longer in use)

2x digital therm. $6 (both no longer in use because they were a few degrees off)

2x-MJ1200-m. depot -$20 used for chiller pump and return pump (still in use)

hydor flo- m depot $13- no longer in use as it sucks after 2 weeks

mag float $7 -medium size which now is a holder for nano power head

nimble cleaner $16 works great

3x nano powerheads $15-love the size but they are starting to wear out at 3 months-rusting parts

fuge light home depot $20 desktop pc lamp that lights the 2nd chamber fuge

Stand-LFS $120 biocube 29 stand

duo pulse w.m.- LFS $40 (not currently in use)

moonlight fix -N.tuners $16

tunze 6025 LFS $70 used- Not currently in use as it created big sand storm

2x power strips- $10

 

Total: $1053

 

Remember, this is not the total cost of live rock, sand, fish, cuc, corals, additives and maintenance, salt, food, and other necessities. I will try to put together a list of those when I get a chance.

Ive upgraded to the 150 watt sunpod and recently bought the JBJ ATO. The Sunpod is working great and I recently bought a phoenix 14k light bulb for it and will install that in a couple of months. I still have not configured the JBJ to work right.

Here is a new FTS.

Hi there, great setup! I was thinking of getting a tunze 9002 as well, but was concern that the skimmer cup would not fit. How did u fit yours? Any pics to show us? My tank is also jbj 24g...

The tunze 9002 fits perfectly in the middle chamber. I dont think it would fit with the stock hood unless a hole was cut in the hood.

Update:

Moved to a new location and I lost many corals in the move. Lost my lps and sps except for the pagoda cup. I also lost my only yellow ric but my orange rics survived. Added a couple frags so far but I like the less crowded look and my new aquascape is better.
