BattleAthletics Posted February 24, 2014 Author Share Posted February 24, 2014 That control panel looks like something at NASA. What are the measurements of your stand? 64x22x32 2 Quote Link to comment
jack1978 Posted February 24, 2014 Share Posted February 24, 2014 Those dosing containers can be found at eBay just by searching for dosing containers. I was able to find an ATO container but figured Micro-Reef could make one just as good, or even better. I would rather support our local sponsor than buy on eBay. Hey BA, The dosing containers..... did they come with the measurements on them....or is that a sticker? I checked eBay, but nothing with the measurements on them. Very nice organization and prep! 1 Quote Link to comment
BattleAthletics Posted February 24, 2014 Author Share Posted February 24, 2014 The ml's are etched into the acrylic, I believe fish-street has them too. http://www.fish-street.com/liquid_box_5litres?category_id=139 That's them jack. 3 Quote Link to comment

BattleAthletics Posted February 25, 2014 Author Share Posted February 25, 2014 Still not done with the rockscape. Scapin' is allot harder than I thought. Wmx module, lab grade pH probe and plumbing came in, screen top done and the setup is inside. This setup is ridiculously heavy, between two of us and a movers dolly we were able to man handle it in. I did add a spacer between the equipment panel on back. Now there's plenty of room for the wires instead of it getting bound up. 11 Quote Link to comment
glennr1978 Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 Idk if it's just the surfer in me or what, but that rockwork looks like a breaking wave and I like it! 5 Quote Link to comment
RK_tek Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 What is the white tray at the top of your equipment panel? 1 Quote Link to comment
BattleAthletics Posted February 25, 2014 Author Share Posted February 25, 2014 Idk if it's just the surfer in me or what, but that rockwork looks like a breaking wave and I like it! It does doesn't it, thanks. I still have to cover up the epoxy on most places, I've got some sand and rubble to cover that up though. Next up is a small island to make. What is the white tray at the top of your equipment panel?From top left to top right is, the battery backup, and the ballast for the radion pro. I think that's what you're seeing. 2 Quote Link to comment

BattleAthletics Posted February 26, 2014 Author Share Posted February 26, 2014 It's about 14-16 inches tall. I'm going to use the chart that schwings reef uses with his radions. (I think that's the same name) Updating the firmware on the APEX is a PITA. 4 Quote Link to comment

BattleAthletics Posted February 28, 2014 Author Share Posted February 28, 2014 So in an effort to show off the sick stand that mark made, and also help other reefers visualize what the stand looks like I took some pictures to help them out since ive been asked about it on here and other forums too. Hope that shows how the spacing behind the equipment panel allows for a snake pit to be hidden. Not everything is actually plugged in ATM, since ive yet to update the APEX. 3 Quote Link to comment

BattleAthletics Posted February 28, 2014 Author Share Posted February 28, 2014 Love the scape - looking forward to seeing it in the tank. Me to, one of the epoxied joints didn't hold, now I have to redo it. After that I'll dunk it in RO water and let it sit for a couple of hours. *sigh* 2 Quote Link to comment
Chadf Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 Your light stand, is that 1.5x2 tube? If so I can send you some free black caps that you pound in, would be a nice finishing touch. We use them at work. 1 Quote Link to comment

What chew talking bout updating the apex is easy breezy yo It's funny, my coworker and I were talking about how it's easy for those that have done something to say is easy. Your light stand, is that 1.5x2 tube? If so I can send you some free black caps that you pound in, would be a nice finishing touch. We use them at work.No, it's inch aluminum tubing :-\.
