pprwngs Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 Hi and to my Solana!! This tank has been setup for a few weeks now. But here are some pics to show where it's come from and some updates on where it will go. I hope you like it and enjoy... Getting it setup - Cycling the rock - The gadgets - The Tank - The Stuff 34g Solana 20" Nova Extreme Pro 150W Stealth Heater Sapphire Solana Skimmer Double Switch ATO Koralia 1 x2 40# Florida Reef Rock 5# Live Rock 20# Live Indo-Pacific Sand I am taking my time with setting this tank up. My first fish/coral will not be until 6 months, I'm waiting so long so that the reef rock can be seeded with life/coralline and to let my tank mature with out adding anything more than a CUC. I just ordered 31# KoraLagoon Substrat and a light tree to hang my light over my tank. I will be taking the sand out and adding the light tree around the middle of April once I move.

TIBURON Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 there are 2 cords on the NEP. and yes i have the ACJr running a dawn/dusk light cycle. pprwngs, Nice tank dude, mine is in the mail. Got a few questions for you: What is the temps on your tank with that nova extreme lighting? Did you keep that egg crate under those rocks or was that just for the cycling? I should be getting mine soon, I just cant wait lol. Link to comment
Supersizeme Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 wow the tank looks great, i like your set up alot, everything is put away, clean, very nice! Link to comment
jrlim Posted March 30, 2009 Share Posted March 30, 2009 what kind of stand do you have? it is the solana stand or you have a different one? Link to comment
pprwngs Posted April 11, 2009 Author Share Posted April 11, 2009 So yea, it's been forever since I did any updates. Not much going on just letting the reef rock gain more life and letting my small CUC do their thing... Coralline algae is starting to appear on some rocks and on the back of my tank so when I move I'll remove the LR and let my tank mature for about 5ish more months till I add any fish/coral. Hey bro! Any updates? Just curious if you where still going to hang your light... I still plan on hanging the light, I'm just waiting till I move(next weekend) pprwngs, Nice tank dude, mine is in the mail. Got a few questions for you: What is the temps on your tank with that nova extreme lighting? Did you keep that egg crate under those rocks or was that just for the cycling? I should be getting mine soon, I just cant wait lol. My temps are between 77.9-78.4! the egg crate was just during the cycle so I could get some good flow around the LR. wow the tank looks great, i like your set up alot, everything is put away, clean, very nice! Thanks! what kind of stand do you have? it is the solana stand or you have a different one? It's a custom stand from a local wood shop, I wanted the tank lower so my 2 kids could see everything.

jwalsh1 Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 Your tank is looking great, Im looking forward to following this. Ive got one too, my only advice is maybe make a mesh top for the tank if you plan on keeping fish. Let us know how the skimmer works, Im thinking of upgrading to that one myself. -edit for misspelling One last thing, can you detail the ATO? Link to comment
Lone-Wolf Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 It's a custom stand from a local wood shop, I wanted the tank lower so my 2 kids could see everything. Do you have drawings of the stand or additional pictures as I am looking for something other than stock stand. Also what size container do you have your top off water in.... Link to comment
