animalmaster6 Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 Love the tank! What are the stocking plans? Be sure to post a FTS in the FTS Thread!! Link to comment
JoeD Posted July 9, 2010 Author Share Posted July 9, 2010 That looks too fun! Fun and highly addictive Stocking plans on this tank are kinda loose right now... in theory my NC28 (LPS and softies) is coming down as well as a couple of other smaller projects, and raiding the frag tank (SPS and more softies). Just received my new to me MP20 today (thanks NyReefer), so thats a given for the tank. Seriously considering an Aquamedic 150mh with 2x24 t5....I spoke to them today and they say it will give me great coverage for the tank even if I lean towards SPS dominant. To drill or not to drill... another part of the indecision. I need to measure the inside dims of the stand... if a 20H will fit, I might lean towards drilling. Not sure its worth plumbing in a 10g sump. If I don't drill, HOB CPR and remora skimmer will come into play. If I do drill, it will most likely be through the bottom. Any suggestions or thoughts are greatly appreciated. Link to comment
JoeD Posted July 18, 2010 Author Share Posted July 18, 2010 Overflow kit and hole saw kit from Glass-holes.com arrived today.... excellent customer service and advice. One less piece of indecision... drilling the back of the tank for a low flow 15H sump/refugium. 15H is on order w/ Petco... hopefully they will come through. Also acquired a "DIY" media reactor from Avast Marine Works at the WAMAS fragfest last weekend. Plumbing noob. K.I.S.S. has worked well so far. It will be interesting to see if a more complex system is worthwhile. Link to comment
JoeD Posted August 8, 2010 Author Share Posted August 8, 2010 Progress... drilled... and big sigh of relief Link to comment
ihatesears18 Posted August 8, 2010 Share Posted August 8, 2010 congrats on a successful drilling experience Link to comment
JoeD Posted August 20, 2010 Author Share Posted August 20, 2010 I haven't checked official sources yet, but I believe this is the marital version of getting away with murder..... dinner table... seats none Not the best picture, but new top and bottom for the stand with second coat of paint. Media rector assembled, and sump has all but one baffle installed. Not sure how much I saved buying a used tank......... Last baffle and paint coat tomorrow, painting sump and finishing plumbing saturday, setup and trial run Sunday..... 'scaped on Monday, still married on Tuesday.... hopefully Equipment update: Return pump... Eheim 1250 Lighting AquaMedic Ocean Light w/ 1 150w Phoniex 14K, 1 ATI 24w blue plus, and 1 Giesemann 24w pure actinic.... Good combo? Link to comment

JoeD Posted September 6, 2010 Author Share Posted September 6, 2010 Welcome aboard Sir Bitts Progress.... Still not sure that I'm saving money buying a used tank and stand.... ready for new top and bottom Plumbed... finally Tight quarters.... If I can find something to rehydrate my water (chemipure?), tank will be wet and 'scaped tomorrow..... demolition of the older tank to follow soon thereafter. Link to comment
JoeD Posted September 6, 2010 Author Share Posted September 6, 2010 Obligatory cloudy tank shot. Image somehow replaced by spambot.... deleted Also, power outage water level shot. I think I'm fairly close in my sump design, regarding back flow/siphoning. Still mixing water. Link to comment

JoeD Posted September 11, 2010 Author Share Posted September 11, 2010 Here for now... Sorry for the link, but until I get the strange pic/spambot stufz figured out.... looking for opinions on the rubble structure... It's about 20 pieces combined... natural looking or......... Link to comment
