Cintax Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 No problem. And yeah, you might need that case sometime. I saw one of these JBJs at my local freshwater store, pretty nice actually; I can see why people use them. I am a little surprised they would stock it because they have zero for marine related things, maybe there is a version with FW bulbs? idk. Anyways, keep up the good work! Link to comment
Thornchase Posted March 13, 2012 Author Share Posted March 13, 2012 It says it is good for both FW and SW! saltwater as in softies and zoas. I am going to upgrade the light to a BoostLED Par 30 bulb! Link to comment
Thornchase Posted March 13, 2012 Author Share Posted March 13, 2012 So I never thought I would add anything that requires food... but when could I add a sexy shrimp or two? I got into this hobby with no intention of adding fish or shrimp soo and advise? Link to comment

MetaTank Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 I personally do not like FW tanks at all! Im not sure why! I started my FW and SW journey at the same time, and found out real quickly that I have no interest in FW either...lol...thats why it still just has 2 goldfish in it, and nothing else...lol I like my litte goldfish, though...I named them the day I bought them...I have dubbed them "Chips" and "Fish" Link to comment

Dnanoreefer Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 i have the same tank and didnt paint the glass before i set it up, but went to petco and got a peice of the tank backing, it is blue on one side and black on the other. i also picked up some of the goo that is supposed to help make it stick and such, yeah it works and looks great for like 7 bucks. makes a world of difference. i also added a hydor 240 and it added amazing flow, not to much but i dont have any dead spots besides just behind one rock. easily accessable with siphon. i like your scape tho. will make it easy for coral additons.

Thanks! Yea I have a total of 238gph so I think that's enough That tank backing was what I was going to get and I saw it very cheap there! The scape was planned out for the types of corals and the placement of the corals I thought ahead of this one! Link to comment
Thornchase Posted March 14, 2012 Author Share Posted March 14, 2012 I had to switch to the stock filter... The marineland was cooking the tank up in the 80's! So that is gone! Link to comment
Dnanoreefer Posted March 14, 2012 Share Posted March 14, 2012 the filter was making it to warm? from the pump or the heater you had in it? when are your stocking plans? Link to comment
Thornchase Posted March 14, 2012 Author Share Posted March 14, 2012 The Marineland Penguin 100 filter was heating up the tank because of the motor in it warming up the water that was going through it! My powerhead has no temp difference! And for now im going with some softies and some low light LPS until I get my BoostLED Par30 bulb for my birthday, That will be pretty sweet. Also thinking of adding some sexy shrimp too! I like them! Link to comment
