1.0reef Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 Don't worry guys, Mike keeps me updated. He just has a lot going on and he had a bunch of orders to finish before mine. He is also testing some new hardware on it. I have been busy anyways downsizing some of my tanks to make room for this one. I still have a frag tank sitting on the stand where this tank needs to go. I have some frag racks on the way so once those get here I can pull the rest of the coral out and then I need to do a video review on a skimmer and filter Marine Depot sent me... and then... I'll have a place to put the Cold tank. I am not going to use my par38 on this tank (need to use it elsewhere). Does anyone have any ideas for lighting? I am mostly interested in something that is "clean" looking. I know I will check out the price of the 'no frills' nano-box units. http://www.drsfostersmith.com/product/prod_display.cfm?c=3578+3733+10704+21598&pcatid=21598&s=lh http://www.drsfostersmith.com/product/prod_display.cfm?c=3578+3733+10704+26107&pcatid=26107 http://www.drsfostersmith.com/product/prod_display.cfm?c=3578+3733+10704+23550&pcatid=23550 http://www.drsfostersmith.com/product/prod_display.cfm?c=3578+3733+10704+23518&pcatid=23518 http://www.drsfostersmith.com/product/prod_display.cfm?c=3578+3733+10704+24833&pcatid=24833 http://www.drsfostersmith.com/product/prod_display.cfm?c=3578+3733+10704+25529&pcatid=25529 http://www.drsfostersmith.com/product/prod_display.cfm?c=3578+3733+10704+23516&pcatid=23516&s=lh I'm sure there's also some cool stuff on Ebay, as long as they don't explode lol. 1 Quote Link to comment

I don't want to hang it or have it sit on the top of the tank. Thinking a clip on or whatever. I really dig the marineland accent led's but they are too long 1 Quote Link to comment

supernip Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 I'm very confused, micro reefs hasn't sent your tank out over a month after the contest and is in fact using it to test equipment? Quote Link to comment
Tamberav Posted June 19, 2014 Author Share Posted June 19, 2014 I'm very confused, micro reefs hasn't sent your tank out over a month after the contest and is in fact using it to test equipment? It was sent yesterday. He had to finish some other builds, it's all good. 1 Quote Link to comment
supernip Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 do you get free stuff from cold water as well? Quote Link to comment
Tamberav Posted June 19, 2014 Author Share Posted June 19, 2014 oh the exotic ecopico arm light looks nice. 2nd link from the last. Checked into this, won't fit the thick acrylic. May just do something like this: do you get free stuff from cold water as well? Yeah, as long as he can locally collect it. I just pay shipping. 2 Quote Link to comment
Micro-Reefs Aquariums Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 I'm very confused, micro reefs hasn't sent your tank out over a month after the contest and is in fact using it to test equipment? Never a dull moment when Supernip enters threads... Her system incorporates the CSXC-1 and it needed to be tested and yes on her system to ensure 100% efficacy. Don't worry nip all studies were done with purified water, yes purified we don't like to use tap water on our test because of chlorine. Shutting down MR, has been incredibly hard on everyone not just this contest winner that was exclusively chosen not by me but Stu Wobbe had 100 percent control as I gave him full power. I didn't want to be the one choosing I wanted to remain un bias. Nuff said... 1 Quote Link to comment
NanoTank1 Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 Have to say that my experience with Micro-Reefs was first class. Hope the business reopens soon. One of these days I'll need a temperate tank. Looking forward to inspiration from this forum thread!! 1 Quote Link to comment

Tamberav Posted June 21, 2014 Author Share Posted June 21, 2014 Did you get the tank yet Tamb? It's in the mail and It has a long ways to travel to get to me. Estimated delivery is Thursday. 1 Quote Link to comment
Dr.Brain Coral Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 wow where is it coming from? also when you are doing your cycle are you adding any thing into any of the back chambers so you have more surface area? I was talking to Stu about using bio balls in one of my back chambers and he recommended Brightwell Aquatics Xport-Bio to me and said he uses it. Quote Link to comment

I have seachem matrix which I think works the same way. It's probably a good idea since the rocks used in cold water aren't very porous. 1 Quote Link to comment
Dr.Brain Coral Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 Ya I bet you could us dry rock if you wanted more porous rocks but it wouldn't look natural like other rocks you would use. Quote Link to comment
Dr.Brain Coral Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 I just got the all clear from my parents to get a lobster tank as my coldwater tank if I can find one!!! Quote Link to comment

Belac Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 Don't think the one in Arkansas would help much then. Quote Link to comment
