jbb Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 Looks like a good one. I've always used these : http://www.ebay.com/itm/Pure-Flow-Clear-Acrylic-14-Hole-Frag-Rack/111167343178?_trksid=p2047675.c100005.m1851&_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIC.MBE%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D25879%26meid%3D02fb77642cd9403b9c1b48c3ead27a08%26pid%3D100005%26prg%3D10819%26rk%3D3%26rkt%3D6%26sd%3D161020038196&rt=nc I have gotten one in the past that the bend on the acrylic was a little over done and the rack had a slight downward slope to it, but nothing that prevented using it.

mpsti05 Posted October 6, 2014 Author Share Posted October 6, 2014 Yea I was checking that one out and http://www.ebay.com/itm/Pure-Flow-Clear-Acrylic-17-Hole-Magnetic-Coral-Frag-Rack/111167341423?_trksid=p2047675.c100005.m1851&_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIC.MBE%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D25410%26meid%3D83149cd8096e47beb4d85a92c2d6e5b7%26pid%3D100005%26prg%3D10672%26rk%3D2%26rkt%3D6%26sd%3D161020038196&rt=nc Link to comment
jbb Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 I have these also, but probably wouldnt buy again. Magnets do not hold up well to anything above low flow http://www.ebay.com/itm/Wave-Magnetic-Coral-Reef-Frag-Rack-/191095174384?pt=Coral_and_Live_Rock&hash=item2c7e28f4f0 Link to comment
mpsti05 Posted October 6, 2014 Author Share Posted October 6, 2014 Damn timing belt snapped on my little DD integra... Poop Link to comment
Alex B Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 Damn timing belt snapped on my little DD integra... Poop Is it a gsr? When I was into Hondas, I snapped plenty of belts in my days. Unless you were revving the piss out of it, or it has aggresive cams...you might be ok. If the valves didn't kiss, it's a 30min job slapping a new belt and tensioner on. I think I can time Hondas in my sleep! Link to comment
mpsti05 Posted October 6, 2014 Author Share Posted October 6, 2014 Lol, naw this is just a 98 LS that I use to drive to work or the city in. The sti is in the garage with the jeep unless I take it to work or track/autocross. Use to have a 96 gsr that had a bunch of work to it then I put a fullrace turbo kit on it and beat the piss out of it and it never skipped a beat. Link to comment
Alex B Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 Dope! Hopefully nothing touched and the motor is still ok. I had all types of Hondas! I had a k24/k20 ek with right hand drive conversion. A eg bubble with a big turbo type r motor. Put down 620..it was pretty quick! I also had a all motor ef with a b20/vtec that was fully built. I raced that car in the early 2000's a lot. Still have a couple nhra trophies sitting around Link to comment

mpsti05 Posted October 9, 2014 Author Share Posted October 9, 2014 Was told by the father Inlaw the new tank needs some color in it...... Soon enough, pretty much been running for a month, itching to get another mated pair of jawfish.... Damn you acura why you break! Link to comment
mpsti05 Posted October 9, 2014 Author Share Posted October 9, 2014 Also just did a 5 gal water change when we got home from dinner at the inlaws... Authentic Chinese is always yum! Emptied the skimmer cup....... Sheet! It smell like straight up poo, asked the misses if she wanted to smell it and I was asked if I wanted to clean up some puke. Curve 5 works like a charm, I must say its nice to have some real equipment that works awesome. Link to comment

Arkayology Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Thanks Ark. It's getting there, been running for about 5 weeks now, time to get some frags it needs some color in there. And I want either another midas or flame angel or order the mated Jawfish again but I dunno yet. Is there anything in the tank right now fish/coral wise? I think a mated jawfish pair would be really awesome. Midas blennies are cool to. Link to comment
