Thornchase Posted March 4, 2012 Author Share Posted March 4, 2012 So here is my attempt at making a lid! it fits very well and I am pretty impressed on how much water I have been saving! Link to comment
Thornchase Posted March 5, 2012 Author Share Posted March 5, 2012 This one is not opening as much This one looks much better and is very bright lime green! Link to comment
Thornchase Posted March 5, 2012 Author Share Posted March 5, 2012 My parameters are out of wack (which i expected). I did two water changes and saw little improvement. The CUC and corals have not shown any signs of stress of discomfort! The corals will be going to a friend soon that wants them ill see how the params get! Link to comment
Thornchase Posted March 6, 2012 Author Share Posted March 6, 2012 So the Galaxeas are gone! Sold them to a fellow local reefer that had a larger tank I love Galaxeas but did not like the limitation of other corals I could keep Link to comment
Thornchase Posted March 6, 2012 Author Share Posted March 6, 2012 Hows the scape look? Link to comment
Thornchase Posted March 6, 2012 Author Share Posted March 6, 2012 The Aquastyle 8LED DIY kit is about $64 ... BAH Link to comment
MetaTank Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 Why not do the 14 dimmable for $70? Ooooh...you mean with shipping? Link to comment
MetaTank Posted March 6, 2012 Share Posted March 6, 2012 Yeah, well, this isn't the kind of hobby to undertake if you have trouble paying the rent, know what I mean? Yeah, it sucks, such a pretty price tag on the website, then the shipping hits...lol...That is the only thing that has kept me from getting the 14 dimmable, and NOW I'm trying to save for a Vegas trip too! Damn my expensive hobbies/addictions! hahah If you're gonna pay $64, I'd say bite the bullet and pay about $102 shipped for the 14 dimmable. Link to comment
Thornchase Posted March 7, 2012 Author Share Posted March 7, 2012 Yea why not ill do it in time And i dont pay rent Link to comment
Thornchase Posted March 9, 2012 Author Share Posted March 9, 2012 So I think I'm going with the BoostLED Par30 bulb with a cheap fixture! what fixture though? Link to comment
monkeytrumpets Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 So I think I'm going with the BoostLED Par30 bulb with a cheap fixture! what fixture though? I have the lamp clamp that BoostLED sells and one of their Par30 bulbs, and I've been very happy with it. If not that, you could go with some kind of adjustable office lamp. Just be sure it can take the weight of the Par30. Link to comment
Catch22 Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 Glazer makes custom lids for these tanks just give him the measurements of what you want cut out and where.... mine is awesome Link to comment
Thornchase Posted March 11, 2012 Author Share Posted March 11, 2012 So as I started this tank over I added my CUC today! Had a massive diatom bloom and my snails killed it all! The params hit 0 and I did a 1/2 gal WC Link to comment

MetaTank Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 lol @ laptop bag...It really makes a huge difference, the powerhead and expecially the heater are way less noticable! Link to comment
Thornchase Posted March 13, 2012 Author Share Posted March 13, 2012 When its dark it will look better! Link to comment
