LVCaniac Posted June 14, 2014 Author Share Posted June 14, 2014 Looks incredible...great job Thanks!!! That means a lot. I've been following your tank since I've been on nano reef. Your tank is amazing! One of my favorites on here! Link to comment
LVCaniac Posted June 21, 2014 Author Share Posted June 21, 2014 Just picked up some new guys. A blue/green chromis (probably gonna add 2 more) and a feather duster along with a CUC from reef cleaners. Pics to follow soon For whatever reason though the ceriths from reefcleaners never seem to survive the ship. Only a few make it.... Link to comment
Nanofreak79 Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 My ceriths have never done good either. I lost all the last time and 4-6 the last. I did get credit, which I'll use since I only order from there anyway. Link to comment

Nanofreak79 Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 I'm still finding nerite small over the floor. I usually hear them hit the floor and go on a hunt. There really loving the whole I'm a tidal snail with no rules thing. How about you stay in my tank and eat some algae, not make baby eggs everywhere. Lol Link to comment

LVCaniac Posted June 22, 2014 Author Share Posted June 22, 2014 Just got an order in from BRS. Got some GFO and Carbon along with a 4" sock to add to the sump. Also added some chaeto to the sump. Hoping to notice cleaner water longer with reduced algae outbreaks. I had issues with that in my 20 gallon. And here is the most recent FTS Link to comment
Muddy Waters Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 looks very nice , love the clean look of the tank and stand. do they make a screen cover for this tank? wondering as you mention have some "jail" breaker action going on Link to comment

It did come with two glass covers. I just prefer the cleaner look without them. So far the jail breakers have behaved and only hang out by the water line. Link to comment
LVCaniac Posted June 23, 2014 Author Share Posted June 23, 2014 I am going to open the can of worms for a bunch of tang opinions. I have braced myself for the worst haha Thoughts on getting a small Kole Tang: 50 Gallon Tank Two occelaris clowns 1 chromis (eventually adding 2 more) 1 lawnmower blenny From what I've read 70+ gallons is ideal I didnt know if it would be ok to have a small one in a 50 for any period of time. Please be gentle. Link to comment
Angel<3Nanos Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 Sweet!!! Idk about the kole tang tho. I say go for it. Or get an Anthias, Sonny at Aquatic Treasures has the hardiest of them all. Link to comment

So far the jail breakers have behaved and only hang out by the water line. may seem silly but , im a silly noob lol these two glass covers I will assume its one cover on front half of tank and one cover on back half of tank, not left and right side. so, if I assume correctly, does the back glass cover, actually cover the back "hidden" business part of the tank as well? and how do the cover stay in place? some plastic clips go on lip(rim) of tank and have a channel that they covers slide into or what? sorry for silly questions, and thanks for your time Link to comment

Fortunately it doesnt cover anything but the overflow as there is a sump underneath the tank in the stand Sweet!!! Idk about the kole tang tho. I say go for it. Or get an Anthias, Sonny at Aquatic Treasures has the hardiest of them all. did you ever hear what happened to desert reef co? I went to pick up some water one day and they were closed for an emergency of some kind. and never reopen. last i saw their store was gutted. Link to comment

Ive heard from a friend who used to work for him, that he and his brother got into a fight and closed (because his brother owned half the business). And I also heard he's pursuing his career or something. Idk anymore lol Link to comment

RollaJase Posted July 25, 2014 Share Posted July 25, 2014 Great looking tank. Really clean both inside and out. Link to comment
dylan1464 Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 What are your overall thoughts on this tank? I was considering the IM 40G fusion for $800. But for just a bit more I can get the CL 50G and have a sump. Seems like there isn't much room to work with underneath the stand. Also the refugium section looks small from the pics on the CL site. Also how good is the stock skimmer and pump? One more thing...is the overflow really loud? Link to comment

Also how good is the stock skimmer and pump? One more thing...is the overflow really loud? I love this tank. I think it is clean and sophisticated. I have to MP10's on it, and the return pump is more than enough for me. The overflow is pretty quiet. If it is too loud you can easily baffle the noise. The skimmer is tough to find the sweet spot and keeping it in the right level can be a challenge so somedays it skims well and other days it doesnt. Link to comment
