Reefer Addict Posted February 9, 2005 Author Share Posted February 9, 2005 666-No sump... At least at this time.. Link to comment
Reefer Addict Posted February 9, 2005 Author Share Posted February 9, 2005 audiocontrol-one of blasto's is mounted on a man-made "rock". I have no idea what type of rock the sun polyps are on. In my opinion the sun polyp rock looks like it is from Fiji.. tigah-It would be a sin if you broke down your 30g. Link to comment
Reefer Addict Posted February 9, 2005 Author Share Posted February 9, 2005 Pic of mid-level right side of tank. Neon cloves, GSP, red shrooms, Coco worm and tip of green shrooms. The neon cloves and GSP give off an unbelievable glow under actinics and lunar lights (even the red and green shrooms give off a shine, yet not as bright as the cloves or GSP, under those lights). Picture does not give them justice. Having problems getting a good shot of the blasto's. I believe that the problem lies in the fact that the 14k bulb has not burned in totally.. Link to comment
Whitten Posted February 9, 2005 Share Posted February 9, 2005 I too have an Oceanic 30 gallon. I really love your tank. It truely looks great. I hope you will give me some pointers when I put pictures of it up soon. Link to comment
Reefer Addict Posted February 9, 2005 Author Share Posted February 9, 2005 Thanks for the positive feedback! Looking forward to seeing pict's of your cube. Link to comment
Cesar Posted February 9, 2005 Share Posted February 9, 2005 Killer acan dude. I personally like/love acans myself. I have a frag and I think they are beautiful. You have a bad a$$ tank dude, congrats. Link to comment
ebin Posted February 9, 2005 Share Posted February 9, 2005 I really like the oceanic 30's the depth really gives you alot more room to work with. Maybe I should ditch my plans to do a 40 breeder and do a 60 cube. You did a excellent job putting this tank together Link to comment
Reefer Addict Posted February 9, 2005 Author Share Posted February 9, 2005 Full tank, lights and stand shot. Light is a Aqualight Pro. 150w 14k mh de Aqua Connect bulb 2x 65w actinics 2x lunar lights I could not use a pendant due to the height of my ceiling. Link to comment
Reefer Addict Posted February 9, 2005 Author Share Posted February 9, 2005 Oceanic also makes a 37g cube that looks pretty sharp.... Link to comment
DarkXerox Posted February 13, 2005 Share Posted February 13, 2005 Hey thats the Coralife Aqualight huh, how do you like it? Are the mounting legs that it comes with adjustable? I'm interested in getting one for my next tank this summer, but I wanted to hear how people liked them before. Ah also what is the width of your tank? If it would work on a via aqua 18g, I might just have exactly what I'm looking for. Then again if Hamilton comes out with a HQI + CF + moonlight hood, there could be some deciding to do.

Reefer Addict Posted February 13, 2005 Author Share Posted February 13, 2005 Let see.... The width of my 30g Oceanic cube is 20 inches. If you look at the picture you can see that the light fixture extends over the edges approx 2". Also, the legs do not adjust up or down. There are adjustable from side to side. There are runners under the fixture where the legs slide to fit the width of the tank. I really like the 'low profile' look. It was hard to find a fixture that had all the lighting options (mh, actinics and lunar lights) and not have to be hung from the ceiling. I do not have the option to hang lights due to my ceilings height. An added plus is all of the lights (mh, actinics, lunar) are powered independently. You can simulate early morning, mid day, dusk etc.... I also switched out the Coralife 150w 10k mh de with a 150w 14k Aqua Connect bulb. Still waiting for the new bulb to burn into its normal day to day coloration. Coralife is looking to have a 250w version sometime this summer. I might upgrade to that unit when it becomes available... Link to comment
BKtomodachi Posted February 13, 2005 Share Posted February 13, 2005 Nice move on switching to the 14K. Link to comment
Reefer Addict Posted February 13, 2005 Author Share Posted February 13, 2005 The 14k Aqua Connect really brings out more color. I think it will be burned in (the bulb not the coral ) within the next week... Also, I need to be more specific. The light that I have is a "Aqualight Pro". Coralife also makes a unit called the "Aqualight". They are two different fixtures. Link to comment
Sushi Posted February 13, 2005 Share Posted February 13, 2005 that's a nice, clean "away" from tank shot... sorry if this has been asked before, but do you run actinics along with the 14K's? or only run them during dawn/dusk cycles? can we get an approximate timeline of your photoperiod? Link to comment
Reefer Addict Posted February 13, 2005 Author Share Posted February 13, 2005 uchiha-no one so far has asked about my photo period. So here it is as of today: Lunar's 24x7 12:00noon Actinics On 2:00 MH On 10:00 MH Off 11:00 Actinics Off I am waiting to see how the mh finally burns in (before I decide to run/ or don't run the mh and actinics concurently)..

Reefer Addict Posted February 16, 2005 Author Share Posted February 16, 2005 I just got back from "snorkeling" "Radioactive" Lords. These shine just as bright under actinics as my 'Intense" GSP's. Very strange.... Link to comment
Reefer Addict Posted February 16, 2005 Author Share Posted February 16, 2005 A different green morph... Link to comment
