BoricuaNY Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 Very Nice tank, Ive always liked the look of the Chi. Wish I could answer your question,. but I'm new to reef keeping. Cool painting above the tank too! P.S. Is that stock lighting? Link to comment
MatthewStarr Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 Nice tank. I have a chi myself but I couldn't figure you how to turn it into a reef tank. So I just turned my fluval edge into a reef tank. Nice job. Only thing is I would move the speakers away from the tank. Water really amplifies sound and if you are watching movies or listening to music its bad for the inhabitants. Link to comment
northeastern Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 do you have a write up of the fuge? i have a fluval ebi and that looks great i'd love to add that to my tank and hide it behind my fake wall Link to comment
Alkamist Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 Wow nice tank!! i like the diy fuge you made it looks pretty sweet, and a really good idea Link to comment
LeslieAnn Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 Wow, I remember why I don't post on forums, cause you can never get any answers. My bad y'all don't wanna read ####. So let me single it out. I have two mexican turbos, one of each red and blue hermit and a true percula. Any problems pairing these with two sexy shrimp and a single pompom? You buried your questions in a wall of text. People skim, especially walls of text and when there are pictures involved. Sorry, I don't have the answers though. It looks good though. If you have no plans for the original filter and switch and would like to gt rid of it, let me know, I would be interested if the price is right. Link to comment
ulver982 Posted October 24, 2011 Share Posted October 24, 2011 I just built a screen top for my open top fluval edge. Bulk Reef Supply sells clear netting. I picked up the rest of the supplies at home depot. Link to comment
pismo_reefer Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 I love yer setup, and design idea's! If you want more thread traffic, you need to come up with a sweet thread name. Srsly. Link to comment
siwelk Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 I love yer setup, and design idea's! If you want more thread traffic, you need to come up with a sweet thread name. Srsly. Spicy thread names are overrated. Link to comment
pismo_reefer Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 lol how about this thread title? haha Now that's character! Link to comment
MFChop Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 3 MP10?!? thats alot of flow Link to comment
Spirofucci Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 Great build thread!!! Gotta love 3 mp10s!!!! It makes sense to me btw. You can never get 180 degree flow difference with only one. Light, water quality and flow. Go man! Link to comment
SouthFlorida_Tron Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 If u need some zip ties to clean up your hella mess of wires, I can USPS some to you Love the setup, looks like a clean, classy living room, yet my wife would be chopping my head off if i had wires loose like that! Lol Link to comment
SouthFlorida_Tron Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 Hello, hello... "in a Austin powers voice" Link to comment
JoelRHale Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 Cool talk, but you're probably going to have a lot of dead spots with that flow/scape set up. You need at least 4 mp10's for a tank that size. Man that's crazy, 3 mp10's. Scape looks good, the fans on the light are hella cool too. Link to comment
siwelk Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 3 Vortechs are the new mid-mid-life crisis. Link to comment
JoelRHale Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 That and $1,000 chalices. Link to comment
siwelk Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 That and $1,000 chalices. BLING BLING Link to comment
siwelk Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 Hahaha...well I guess you could say its a midlife crisis haha, last year I dropped money on rebuilding my 93 honda del sol with a twincharged d16(jackson supercharger and gtk2860rs). This year is project reef ....three vortechs...diy led..reefangel.. I'm happy Ha, del sol. I had one of those in high school. Targa top FTW. Once I get done paying off the Jeep, it's on to the next one. 1991 Eagle Talon TSI build. 100% ground up. Oh yeah. Link to comment

nor_cal_nano Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 Great build man. I love love love that 3 section painting you had over the chi. Looked awesome in the background. Looking forward to seeing the biggun stocked with more corlz Link to comment
iball1804 Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 I feel sorry for your water with all those Vortechs. Link to comment
Spirofucci Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 Love the pics with the new cam! I just gotta get me one. Link to comment
Mojorizn Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 Overkill at it's finest ... lol Ya got a serious addiction going there my friend. But, if ya look at it from an "investment" point of view, your all set for that 125+ in the future. Nice toys and the makings of a sweet tank ya have there. I didn't see a controller ( for the tank) in there ... maybe i just missed it. Link to comment
