I dunno if you would be able to compare but how are the prices for live rock, coral , lights, etc there? Nishant Link to comment
ninjafish Posted November 4, 2006 Share Posted November 4, 2006 Thanks Jeremy for the recognition, but all the work you did on this tank was yours! Your tank placement, stand, and livestock are all better than mine. What did you work out for auto topoff? I can get my laboratory metering pump back from the current owner for $180Can if anyone wants it (that's what she bought it for, but she has never set it up). Cheers, - Chad Link to comment

I guess it loses about 2 or 3 pints a day. As for prices over here, typicaly we pay about double what you guys pay for everything! Thanks Jeremy for the recognition, but all the work you did on this tank was yours!Your tank placement, stand, and livestock are all better than mine. What did you work out for auto topoff? - Chad Thanks Chad, I've not done anything about an auto top off yet. I did look into using a peristaltic pump, but I think the risk of a leak is too high. I may in the future look into adding a stroked dosing pump though, but for the moment it's not a priority. Link to comment
Obsessed Reefer Posted November 4, 2006 Share Posted November 4, 2006 Have you ever thought of using a JBJ Auto Top Off Link to comment
jemram Posted November 4, 2006 Author Share Posted November 4, 2006 Have you ever thought of using a JBJ Auto Top Off The JBJ auto topoff uses level switches so while it would work, goes against the whole idea of having no equipment in the tank. Link to comment
Obsessed Reefer Posted November 4, 2006 Share Posted November 4, 2006 Ture. I still love your tank. Cant find this anywhere, how much did the tank cost to build? Link to comment
jemram Posted November 4, 2006 Author Share Posted November 4, 2006 Ture. I still love your tank. Cant find this anywhere, how much did the tank cost to build? The tank cost £180 ($340) to have built. That includes the drilling of the two holes for the bulkheads. Link to comment

jemram Posted November 8, 2006 Author Share Posted November 8, 2006 nice FTS? FTS? What does that mean?? All the corals and remaining fish are doing well. My purple plate coral has grown from around 3" when I got it ten days ago to 4" now At this rate, I'm going to need a bigger tank! I am battling hair algae at the moment so I'm doing a 30% water change every other day, the light is only on for 5 hours a day and I'm also feeding as little as I feel comfortable with.

jemram Posted November 8, 2006 Author Share Posted November 8, 2006 Full Tank Shot Ahh makes sense now. I'll take a shot from all four sides in an hour or two. The light has only just come on so the corals are just waking up. Link to comment
jemram Posted November 8, 2006 Author Share Posted November 8, 2006 Here we go. Please excuse the hair algae on the lower rocks. It's slowly but surely going now thanks to water changes, 5 hours of light a day and light feeding. Link to comment
