iadubber Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 I've upgraded my pump to a Minijet 606 and also have a Koralia nano 240 running. I think it's perfect with that combo. You could get away with just the 606 though I think. Link to comment
TheNordCelt Posted January 16, 2015 Author Share Posted January 16, 2015 Thanks iadubber, I'm trying to avoid power heads so i think I'll try the 606. Link to comment

Fishstiks Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 Agree with above. I upgraded to the minijet 606 and also ran a koralia. Link to comment
metrokat Posted January 19, 2015 Share Posted January 19, 2015 I've missed you Patrick, how are you? What happened to the old tank in the move? Link to comment
TheNordCelt Posted January 22, 2015 Author Share Posted January 22, 2015 I've missed you Patrick, how are you? What happened to the old tank in the move? Missed you too Kat, I'm good! I'm back in school and classes just started. I moved from NC to OH (why oh why) and lost everything in this Link to comment
TheNordCelt Posted January 22, 2015 Author Share Posted January 22, 2015 Placed an order with inTank. Mini-jet 606, surface skimmer, media basket and Hydor 50W should be here tomorrow. Hopefully the 606 will give me the flow I want with out a power head. I was using an ACP500 ( smallest power head available locally) but it looks huge in there and my Rainfordi did not like the flow.

metrokat Posted January 22, 2015 Share Posted January 22, 2015 Missed you too Kat, I'm good! I'm back in school and classes just started. I moved from NC to OH (why oh why) and lost everything in this I'm sorry to hear that, it was a beautiful tank. Those 2 birds together were my favorite. I don't mean to make you re-live painful memories but what caused the corals to die? I had a set back in my tank move too and wanted to compare notes if you will. Link to comment
TheNordCelt Posted January 22, 2015 Author Share Posted January 22, 2015 I really don't know. It was a long trip, and after i got a temporary tank setup everything just started losing tissue. I couldn't do enough water changes to keep up and everything just deteriorated quickly. Link to comment
TheNordCelt Posted February 26, 2015 Author Share Posted February 26, 2015 Hi NRers, just a quick update on the Spec-V. I really love this little tank, its so sleek and sexy. I got my inTank media basket, Minijet 606 and 50w Hydor heater, I couldnt be happier, no need for a power head. Its slowly getting stocked, mostly soft corals and LPS. I'm really itching for some sps, but I also want to keep this simple. Maybe a couple Birdsnest down the road. Shot some video and took some still that I will be uploading after I edit.

iadubber Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Thanks iadubber! Is dubber a VW reference? Yes, I grew up wrenching on VW/Audis, currently don't own one though. I have a BMW e39 touring now. Someday I'll get an air cooled to start working on. Link to comment

Someday I'll get an air cooled to start working on. Heck yeah. My first ride was a '92 big bumper GTI, thing was a beast. Sold it got a 95 Passat VR6, hated that POS lol. Link to comment
TheNordCelt Posted July 20, 2015 Author Share Posted July 20, 2015 I haven't changed much in the tank, I just did the first water change in months. I did add a refugium with cheato and a mangrove a few months ago. The LPS is doing well, I have a cheap acro frag in there testing the waters so to speak. Its a little brown from the dirty water but its encrusting and colors up to a nice blue/green when I'm doing water changes. I like shooting dimmable leds better.
