HarryPotter Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 Beautiful! Is that an apex auto-feeder on the back wall? Quote Link to comment
m@tt Posted June 10, 2015 Author Share Posted June 10, 2015 Beautiful! Is that an apex auto-feeder on the back wall? Yes, I made a shelf for it instead of mounting it on the tank so there wasn't any gaps with the screen top. Quote Link to comment
HarryPotter Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 Yes, I made a shelf for it instead of mounting it on the tank so there wasn't any gaps with the screen top. Its so high up! The food gets through the screen easily? Pellets or flakes? Quote Link to comment
m@tt Posted June 10, 2015 Author Share Posted June 10, 2015 Its so high up! The food gets through the screen easily? Pellets or flakes? I'm using pellets which falls right through. I read some reviews which said humidity killed theirs so the farther away from the water the better. Also, it's really loud if you're thinking of getting one. Quote Link to comment

I don't have an Apex at this point, but thanks for the info. I love apex- just with my current setup (ReefLink, redundant temperature controller) its just not necessary Quote Link to comment

Spiderguardnano Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 Hey Matt care to share how you did your transfer to the new tank going to be doing a tank transfer next week and yours seem to go really smooth Quote Link to comment
m@tt Posted June 17, 2015 Author Share Posted June 17, 2015 Hey Matt care to share how you did your transfer to the new tank going to be doing a tank transfer next week and yours seem to go really smooth I've upgraded twice now, the first time was going from a 60p(18gallons) to a 60H(32gallons) and the second I went from a 60f(8gallons) to a 70gallon. On both of these upgrades I used new sand. With the 60p upgrade I transfered all of the rock over and added additional brs dry rock(didn't even bother to rinse it). I used most of the old saltwater and filled the rest up with fresh saltwater and then immediately added the fish to the new tank. All of the fish and coral were fine. With the 70gallon upgrade I setup the tank like a new tank with new sand and brs dry rock(still never rinsed the rock) and put in a piece of live rock from the lfs to seed it.I probably waited 2 weeks before adding some fish and then once I had my lights ready, I transfered everything from the 60f. The fish and coral were fine on this transfer as well. Quote Link to comment
Spiderguardnano Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 Some of my current rock has hair algae should I just start new for my new tank or put it in the new tank Also sorry what sand did you go with? Quote Link to comment
Alex B Posted June 17, 2015 Share Posted June 17, 2015 Nice tank! Seems we have very similar taste! I have the same tank and many of the same fish and corals. Let me know when some of those shrooms start popping off babies! Quote Link to comment
m@tt Posted June 17, 2015 Author Share Posted June 17, 2015 Some of my current rock has hair algae should I just start new for my new tank or put it in the new tank Also sorry what sand did you go with? The rocks I added to the 70 gallon had algae on them which has been annoying but I liked the rock and didn't want to take the coral off of it. I would use new rock if possible since it'll be another problem to deal with. The algae on my rocks hasn't moved from the old rock... yet. On both of the tanks I'm using CaribSea Fiji pink "live" sand. I don't really care if it's supposedly alive but its a nice color and clean. I didn't rinse the sand or rock and didn't have any problems with cloudy water. Nice tank! Seems we have very similar taste! I have the same tank and many of the same fish and corals. Let me know when some of those shrooms start popping off babies! Thanks. I've read your thread many times especially when trying to figure out the piping. The stock Cadlights plumbing is the worst, I don't think they could find any thinner piping. I almost went with the Cadlights Versa series with standard size holes but the stand isn't very good.

m@tt Posted June 18, 2015 Author Share Posted June 18, 2015 Both tanks are now running Nyos skimmers. They are a lot better than the vertex skimmer I was running. 2 Quote Link to comment
