Hey everyone! It's been forever since I posted. I have been out of the reeftank game for some 4 years now. I still have my 34 gallon solana and was curious if there is still a demand for them.

I have had it in storage since I started college and I need to sell it as it is taking up so much space. I was hoping to get 500-600 with everything. I made many upgrades while I had the tank, such as the tunze 9002 skimmer and an MP20, which is why I am hopefull I can get that much. Let me know if you guys think that's reasonable or if I am overpricing it.

I still am one of a few members with this tank still. My skimmer died and I'm having a tough time finding a new replacement. Will tunze DOC 9001 work? most tunze 9002 out there are very old and about to fall apart

I have the nuvo midsized ghost skimmer in my 34 gallon and it is working great. It is a really tight fit, almost have to force it in there but after taking it out a few times it slides in and out easy. I like how tight it fits, that way I can adjust it to wherever I want it.

Hey anyone still have one of these ? I am in the middle of a new build on one for my living room...I love this setup

Just curious..

 

Love to find some new tricks and tips to get it up to date.

What did you end up with as a skimmer ?

Just bought a used 34 g setting up soon

Seriously, did I just make the dumbest decision ever? I bought a Solana 34 on Friday and all I'm seeing here are nightmare stories. I like the shape and the sleek design, the large rear chambers, etc., but no one has posted here in over 2 years!

So Would love to be added to this thread, I have a Solana I bought used,  several years ago.  I packed it away for a number of years and recently resurrected it.  Anyone out there still have a Solana up and running?

It was an Amazing Set-up for me? It was just simply discontinued by the manufacturer?

Would love to see your Set-up...Post some Pics ASAP!!!...

This is slow going.  Continuous problem with red slime algae.  I think it is a flow issue, water parameters look good.  I will post pics after next water change.  So far the only creatures are a yellow clown goby (not eating well, I have been hatching brine shrimp to feed him), a Lawnmower Blenny (he is fat and sassy), two tiny sexy shrimp, a few zoas, pulsing xenia and a rock flower anemone for the sexy shrimp.  I am using live rock only for filtration and bioballs, charcoal  in the back chambers, so not high tech at all.  

What configuration are you using for flow?  I have tried between 2 to 4 powerheads in a variety of sites in the tank I still get slime along the front wall.
