VW_TDI_02 Posted May 14, 2015 Share Posted May 14, 2015 Here is NanoreefNates 35 gallon DSA. Its a beautiful tank! It really is. His acan garden up front it incredible. It was better a little while ago before he thinned it out but I'm sure it will grow back out. Tanks like that make me want to get a more powerful light:/ Link to comment

myarmolich Posted May 24, 2015 Author Share Posted May 24, 2015 Just purchased 30lbs of Florida dry rock from John at ReefCleaners! Looking forward to scaping out the tank and possibly getting it wet next weekend! Also looking at a T5 retrofit for my Razor like the one found on this sexy build http://www.nano-reef.com/topic/361427-68-gallon-cad-bachelor-tank/ Not sure which kit i should buy though, so any advice would be awesome Link to comment
HarryPotter Posted May 24, 2015 Share Posted May 24, 2015 You're going to LOVE the reefcleaners! Movie equipment and patience you have going. This is going to be great! Link to comment
myarmolich Posted May 25, 2015 Author Share Posted May 25, 2015 You're going to LOVE the reefcleaners! Movie equipment and patience you have going. This is going to be great! Thank you! I generally have a hard time being patient as i'm 18 too On a different note.. To MP-10 or to Gyre XF-130. I almost pulled the trigger on the gyre last night, but something stopped me. There have been quite a few deals on MP10s so I can probably do 2 for the same price of a Gyre. Any advice would much be appreciated. Tank will be SPS dominated. I originally opened a discussion on this thread here http://www.nano-reef.com/topic/361312-2-mp10s-or-1-maxspect-gyre-xf-130/ but the verdict was split. Save me from my insanity! Link to comment
HarryPotter Posted May 25, 2015 Share Posted May 25, 2015 I love my Vortechs. They give great control, and importantly- zero heat. Link to comment
myarmolich Posted May 28, 2015 Author Share Posted May 28, 2015 Update time... Still looking for a deal on a powerhead. If I can find a Gyre 130 for under 200, its coming home with me. If i can find 2 MP-10s for under 250, they're coming home with me. Guess its up to chance now. Also on the lookout for an Apex. Does anyone have any experience with buying new vs used? Looking for a standard so I can monitor pH, as well as temperature. Let me know your experiences. Finally, adding an electronics section to my stand! Picture updates to follow Link to comment
myarmolich Posted May 30, 2015 Author Share Posted May 30, 2015 Just bought all the plumbing needed for the aquarium! Rock from reefcleaners should be here soon, when it does I will be posting some scapes so I can get opinions! I also think im going to end up with a Gyre. The flow looks amazing for such a good price! More updates to follow Link to comment
myarmolich Posted June 3, 2015 Author Share Posted June 3, 2015 Plans change. Just bought two MP-10s Reef cleaner rockscapes also imminent, as well as a impulse buy incoming (updates to come) Link to comment
myarmolich Posted June 5, 2015 Author Share Posted June 5, 2015 Look what I got New rockscape also. Give me opinions! and plumbings done Link to comment
Nanofreak79 Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 Rock scape is dope. You should really put a yoga mat or similar under the tank.....don't think I see one. Link to comment
myarmolich Posted June 6, 2015 Author Share Posted June 6, 2015 Rock scape is dope. You should really put a yoga mat or similar under the tank.....don't think I see one. Definitely plan on adding one, just have to find one for the right price haha Apex- I am jealous Im seriously looking forward to setting it up. Hopefully it will put me on the right track to having beautiful SPS corals like you Link to comment
Sk8n Reefer Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 thanks! looking forward to following along. there's some cool threads on here about how people automate their tanks with the Apex - some people are masters of it- pretty impressive. Link to comment
myarmolich Posted June 7, 2015 Author Share Posted June 7, 2015 Anyone have any suggestions for an accurate CA/MG/ALK test kit? Leaning towards Red Sea, but im not entirely sure. Link to comment
