Reeftank_addict Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 Well I want to start a log on everything I do to my new tank. So, Here is a picture of my new tank on its stand before paint and after. I'm not sure if I'm going to run a filter or try it without one. I'm using a 175Mh. -Brian a shot of it with the light on Link to comment
Reeftank_addict Posted March 29, 2006 Author Share Posted March 29, 2006 Order my LR ....14 LBS of Fiji premium ....from http://www.oceanproaquatics.com/...I read a few people here order from them and are real happy with what they got. Here's a shot with water..... Not running the MH right now....nothing in there to use it anyway. Link to comment
Capt_Nemo Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 wow that's a huge metal halide. what is that tank? glass or acrylic? if you going to start a new thread. At least give some more information about the equiments and that you going to do with the tank. Just my nickle. Capt Nemo Link to comment
Reeftank_addict Posted March 30, 2006 Author Share Posted March 30, 2006 Sorry, I guess your right. It's a 10.6gal glass tank made from 3 pieces. The sides and front are 1 piece with curves. I've never seen them before but, I'm sure someone else has. 175 Hm 20K pendant. I also, have a 192w pc or a 64w pc that I could use if the Mh becomes too much or isn't work for the tank for some reason. 100 w heater 2 - 201 powerheads. Thats it. I'm trying the "Nature filtation" System just LR, LS(which wll be mixed with the black sand thats in there now) and water changes. I want to keep a little of everything and maybe a clam. But, i'm going to start with the easy stuff and work my way up. Also, the MH will be hanging over the tank not sitting the acrylic panel that it's on now. If anything looks out of line let me know....Input is good. -Brian Link to comment
Haagenize Posted March 30, 2006 Share Posted March 30, 2006 awesome pendant choice!! i wish they made those for 70w's edit: wait i think they do Link to comment
Reeftank_addict Posted March 31, 2006 Author Share Posted March 31, 2006 I'm waiting for my LR and LS to come which will be here Tomorrow. It s fully cured so I'm hoping for a short cycle. Anyway, I've been looking at corals. I want to know if out of the ones I like which are going to be good for a small tank and I'm trying to pick some that will not be too hard to keep. So, I'll give a few links and you guys can look and tell me what you think....I'm not set on the ones that I list exactly but, more just the family. I may not ever have all of these but, I'm trying to get and Idea of what I want, howto care for them, which can be kept together and create a time line of what I will put them in the tank. Also, I'm just using the site in the links below for this posting and I'm not trying to sell anything from it...I don't work for them!

SaltCreep Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 great tank! I really look forward to seeing it progress. I sent you a pm. Link to comment
Nuhtty Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 Do you plan on leavin the MH sitting on that piece of glass like that or are you going to ceiling mount it? Link to comment
Reeftank_addict Posted March 31, 2006 Author Share Posted March 31, 2006 Also, the MH will be hanging over the tank not sitting the acrylic panel that it's on now No, I'm working on a way of hanging it over the tank now. Link to comment
Reeftank_addict Posted March 31, 2006 Author Share Posted March 31, 2006 I got my LR and LS this afternoon. I like it but, I'm not sure if its enough for the tank. I really like the way it looks but, take a look what do you think? the LFS has some Tongo Branch on sale I was think of just getting 1 or 2 Pieces to fill in. -Brian P.S. the water is a little cloudy. Once it clears up I'll get some more shots. Link to comment
Reeftank_addict Posted April 1, 2006 Author Share Posted April 1, 2006 Here's a shot without the cloudiness... Link to comment
Reeftank_addict Posted May 4, 2006 Author Share Posted May 4, 2006 Sorry I haven't posted in awhile. I added a CPR Bakpak. I was having trouble with Nitrates and once I added it they dropped to 0. I will post pictures once I have the clean up crew in. Should be tomorrow. -Brian Link to comment
