mpad Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 Nice. I always dreamed of hiding myself under a bed and wander around in an empty ikea at night. Wake up in the ball paradise next morning Link to comment
Eckozulu Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 I'd have to send it back to the US (I'm in Australia!). Haha! Sorry bro, I just knew u don't like rounded corners. Link to comment
charnelhouse Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 OK so I dropped in to IKEA this morning (urgh... I hate IKEA!), and the trolley I was going to get was yup... OUT OF STOCK! Awesome. I then found another trolley that wasn't on the IKEA web site, same name, newer model and amazingly it fits perfectly to the mm in the space I have behind my existing Fluval Edge 2! I bought it, made it, and laughed out loud at how perfectly it fits in it's little place! Kismet! Link to comment
justinfox Posted August 26, 2015 Author Share Posted August 26, 2015 Love the cat clip! LOL at all the IKEA references haha. OK a little update! Osmolator! Mounted! My replacement pump came in the mail today and it turns out it's EXACTLY the same as the pump I am replacing! PERFECTO!!!!!!!! Front view. Side view. Top view. Link to comment
RollaJase Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 Nice setup, It's all ready for water now once you get a heater and light on it . I should really upgrade my Osmolator Nano to a fully fledged unit. Link to comment
metrokat Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 I'm nervous about how close the electricals are to the tank. Link to comment
Addinali Posted August 30, 2015 Share Posted August 30, 2015 I'm nervous about how close the electricals are to the tank. Right! Im sloppy spilling water all over the place when my hands in the tank. But maybe he is very careful you never know. Link to comment
justinfox Posted August 30, 2015 Author Share Posted August 30, 2015 I'm nervous about how close the electricals are to the tank. Hmmm. I could mount that a lot lower under the table (the powerboard). That powerboard is mounted to the wall and for the other tank (proper drip loops). There's a good gap between the tank and the wall so if this tank ever overflowed water won't get into the power sockets. Water could get into those power sockets if I splash water there, say with a water change, but I doubt it would happen as it's a pretty low set-up and I won't be struggling to get water in and out of the open top (unlike the edge's top!).

RollaJase Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 Just saw this: http://reefbuilders.com/2015/08/31/reefrack-from-innovative-marine/ Though you would appreciate it . Link to comment
justinfox Posted September 1, 2015 Author Share Posted September 1, 2015 She's wet! Just waiting on lights now. Got a new probe to replace the old one which was way out. Calibration done. PS: It's quiet as! The wavemaker is dead silent, the return pump makes a bit of a buzz but nothing loud at all (my fridge is way louder!). Link to comment
teenyreef Posted September 1, 2015 Share Posted September 1, 2015 It looks great! One thought: in my IM10 tank, I ended up mounting the Tunze overflow sensor on the separate magnet so I could place it higher. Before I did that, the alarm went off every time I put my hand in the tank. Link to comment
mpad Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 Congrats! Looking fine. So quick review / first impression on the jebao? Link to comment
justinfox Posted September 3, 2015 Author Share Posted September 3, 2015 Congrats! Looking fine. So quick review / first impression on the jebao? Cheers! It's actually super tiny and it's dead silent too, but it's controller sux ass. Yes it can make funny waves, but that's not what I want it for, so I have it in constant mode and only on 20% power. At full power it's WAY too powerful for this tank! The massive dial on the controller does NOT control the power of the pump, so silly! You have one button to control the power and you have to cycle through the power settings by pressing the button multiple times, really silly design IMHO. Having said that, it is a set and forget thing I suppose so it's all set up and I'm happy with it. One good thing about the controller is there is a FEED button. Holding it down shuts the pump off for 10 minutes and then it automatically starts up again. Nice for when I want to see my frags clearly with no ripples on the surface. Link to comment
Benny314 Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 That big dial is for controlling the time delay on the pulse modes. Goes from short pulses every few seconds to a longer pulse to create a bigger wave. But yes the controllers are fairly cheap and cheesy looking and feeling. Link to comment
BRN Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 Sick man just sick. Nice set up. Now what are the plans for the next tank? It all starts with 1 fluval and then suddenly you have a operational frag store. Im calling it now. Link to comment
justinfox Posted September 3, 2015 Author Share Posted September 3, 2015 BRN, so true! LOL! OK here's a little update! LOL my jurassic tools. Safety first, right?! I had my mate Alain over to help out. Fragment fragment fragment! My Kessil is still not here so I've just grabbed some shitty clip-on lights I had lying around. Tank hasn't cycled yet, but I've taken the risk. I'm using natural sea water, temp is right and I've thrown the filter media bag from my Fluval Edge into this tank, so here's hoping it's all good! Tanks in situ. Link to comment
Alain Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 Haha good times, Justin. Keen for more frag adventures! Link to comment
HarryPotter Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 What did you frag? Some Zoas? Link to comment
justinfox Posted September 3, 2015 Author Share Posted September 3, 2015 What did you frag? Some Zoas? Yup! Just the one rock I had shoved in the shade under the hammers in my Edge! Link to comment
justinfox Posted September 7, 2015 Author Share Posted September 7, 2015 Found some zoa eating nudibranches in my main display tank so I've dipped, removed nudibranches and moved most zoas over to the frag tank for closer inspection. All zoas are doing well in the frag tank! Still waiting on my Kessil but these shitty lights are keeping the zoas alive in the meantime. Link to comment
RollaJase Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 Bummer about the zoa eating nudi's Justin. Fresh water dips are your friend with zoas . Glad you caught it before they did too much damage. Link to comment

Glad you caught it before they did too much damage. They give me something to do! So not really upset about them to be honest bahahahah! I find them fascinating! Link to comment
justinfox Posted September 8, 2015 Author Share Posted September 8, 2015 I bought some morphs from a Facebook seller (Reefing Addiction) and they threw in a few freebies. The small acan piece on the left and the flouro green pice on the right. It's a flat piece, looks a lot like a goni's skeleton but I'm not sure what it is, any ideas anyone? Link to comment
