dla Posted April 2, 2007 Author Share Posted April 2, 2007 you have more 'stuff' attached to your tank than i thought possible. clam looks better than it did in the first pics of it, there it was too big looking, now its hott. Thanks. I think when the sps grows it would look great. I have a 14k MH, but plan on getting a 10k MH to get the sps to grow a little faster. Link to comment
yankeereefer Posted April 8, 2007 Share Posted April 8, 2007 Is that the standard iceprobe or that "microchiller"? Do you use the thermostat or just let it run - I would bet the latter given your MH lighting. I have a line on an iceprobe for $10 but does not include the thermostat - It'll likely end up on my mantis tank - I probably won't need the thermostat either Link to comment

When I got the Iceprob, it came with the thermostat. The Iceprob and the Microchiller are the same thing, it's just that the micro chiller come housed on a AC20. Link to comment

coral_addict Posted May 7, 2007 Share Posted May 7, 2007 Still pretty PIMPING. Looks like the CLAM is out growing the tank though. When are you planning on upgrading and go all out with SPS! If you can do that well in a Pico, you can probably kick butt with a Nano. Link to comment

dla Posted May 14, 2007 Author Share Posted May 14, 2007 Here is a updated pic of my tank. I am working on getting 4 more sps frags and thinking on getting a 5.5 or 10 gallon tank. Link to comment
milkshake Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 You ever thought about putting a 20K bulb over it? It would pop out the colors of your corals more. Or added an actinic 03 pc bulb over it. I'm sure you could do it. You have done everything else to that redneck setup. Looks good! Link to comment

ToeJam Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 I have that Iceprob chiller. How do you like the Iceprobe? I am thinking about getting one for my 3g pico. No AC in the office on the weekends and the summer heat are not going to be friendly to my pico. Link to comment
