TR3XX Posted July 6, 2007 Author Share Posted July 6, 2007 thanks! i decided to take the cheato out since i didn't have any room for it. i think my weekly water changes will be enough to compensate for the lack of the cheato. :] Link to comment
JG Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 Great TanK! I have a 25G also got it back in Dec. Couple of questions: 1) Just wondering how you like the light over the fuge, I am thinking of switching to make some room for a 2 fan unit instead of 1? 2) How do you like the fan; I assume that the 2 fan unit? 3) Stock pump?

TR3XX Posted July 6, 2007 Author Share Posted July 6, 2007 thanks jgiordano. to answer your question.... 1. I took the T5 lighting for the fuge because it was getting in the way of my skimmer. 2. I was using the Azoo fan from DFS which worked great. I recently got a JBJ Nano Chiller so the fan is no longer in use. The fans were able to keep my temps at a steady 78-79 but evaporation was quite high, imo. around 3/4 gallons a day. With the chiller installed, I'm topping off about 1 gallon every 4 days. 3. Yes, I'm using the stock pump along with a Koralia #2 powerhead. Link to comment

Jay-sun Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 Very nice looking tank. Love the brain. You've done a super job with 25 gallons of realestate!!! Jason Link to comment
TR3XX Posted April 28, 2008 Author Share Posted April 28, 2008 matt - i'm with you on the PDs, would compliment the NGs nicely. now if i can find them locally hehe jason - thanks a lot. the clowns seem to love the brain as well. Link to comment

Inquire to Proraptor, or EZcompany. Actually, look into scnrs.com sometime. The site is down today due to a server move, but tomorrow should be good to go. I know there's local people with PDs to spare... I just noticed this weekend that mine has finally sprouted a baby, lol! Link to comment
TR3XX Posted May 13, 2008 Author Share Posted May 13, 2008 May Update: I've been wanting to get some SPS in my tank so I decided to pick up a calcium reactor to help sustain them. I also picked up an electronic solenoid so I can use my ReefKeeper2 ph controller to regulate the CO2. The CR has a built in pump which helps stir the effluent. It comes with a bubble counter and a check valve. I'm going to tee off my phosphate reactor pump to feed the CR. I think this will be sufficient since it does not require much flow. Setup: - CR is an ViaAqua Acrol-Cal Calicum Reactor - rated for 10g- 75g - CO2 regulator is from marine depot, I believe it's made by Cramer Decker - CO2 tank is 5 lbs - Media is ROWALITH C+ 6K BAG All set up: I bought a small acrylic cup at a local store to collect the effluent. Here's a pic of my ph probe and effluent cup setup So far everything is running great. My ca is at 430 and alk is 3.45 meg/L. There's a bit of a swing but I hope to have everything dialed within the next week. HUGE thanks to IMISKY for the tips on getting this set up... Thanks for stopping by... Link to comment
jimbo327 Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 Saw this setup in person yesterday. It's a great looking tank. Thanks for the NG frag! Been wanting to get a polyp to see how they grow in my tank. He's got some killer stuff in his tank. You are right, the orange zoas look a lot brigher in that picutre than the NG. You should at least keep a few polyps of those so we can trade in the future. Link to comment
imisky Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 hey! everything is looking good! your tank looks sharp as well have some nice stuff in there too bad you are so far away or id be asking for some frags in the future even though i dont think they'll do well in my tank with over 100x turn over. but i hope that CR setup works for you like it does for me again nice tank Link to comment
