imcosmokramer Posted February 10, 2010 Share Posted February 10, 2010 very nice photos Stevie Link to comment
StevieT Posted February 11, 2010 Author Share Posted February 11, 2010 I noticed you took your overflow box out. Does everyone do this? What purpose does this thing serve anyway? Should I take it out? I never had an overflow box. I have the 130 which was pre intake skimmer box days. I never purchased one because I don't need it and don't want it sticking out in the tank. I regulate my surface film by keeping my water level 1/4" below the black molding. very nice photos Stevie Link to comment

pyrocreep Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 You know I always had wondered if the name was in reference to OfficeMax. I didn't notice it till I saw it in one of the pictures on the last page. Did you actually have that etched into the glass or is it just a sticker? I worked for the company for about 3 and a half years on the retail end. Just kinda interesting finding it slapped onto the side of one of the best looking tanks on this site. Link to comment
StevieT Posted February 16, 2010 Author Share Posted February 16, 2010 It is not directly related to the company OfficeMax. Red Sea Max + in my office = "The OfficeMax" The name was given to me by a member 2+ years ago and it stuck. I used their logo as branding. What you see on the tank is a sticker I made with frosted vinyl. There is also an inTank sticker on the stand with the same vinyl, you can see it slightly in the right light which is pretty cool. I have a vinyl cutter to brand all inTank products, comes in handy when you want custom stuff. Link to comment

StevieT Posted February 16, 2010 Author Share Posted February 16, 2010 Not really, just a little more room. The biggest benefit is that I do not have to make them Link to comment

Jacobnano Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 + 12,113 you have a long way to go before anyone cares about you here Current Fish in order of age in tank: B&W Clown Mandarin Bangaii (3) chromis Green Clown Goby Soon to have tailspot blenny when the LFS calls me One day I will become as great as you, master. Doesn't that seem like a lot? And the clown goby hasn't eaten your SPS? How many actual gallons of water volume do you think your tank has, an estimate. Link to comment
StevieT Posted February 17, 2010 Author Share Posted February 17, 2010 Not yet but I just got him Friday. Maybe 26 gallons Link to comment
Jacobnano Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 Not yet but I just got him Friday. Maybe 26 gallons Hopefully he doesn't. Alright, I like all the fish, I was just thinking about the bioload from all those fish. Link to comment
StevieT Posted February 17, 2010 Author Share Posted February 17, 2010 If bioload isn't about poop but body presence being an impact. There are 4 fish in this tank. Link to comment
Jacobnano Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 True, but I mean doesn't a lot of food go into feeding the mandarin? That plus feeding a clown and 3 chromis I would think would start to add up. But then again your tank is bigger than mine, and I have basically all SPS lol. Link to comment
StevieT Posted February 18, 2010 Author Share Posted February 18, 2010 Actually the new fish help with the food load. A lot was going to "waste" because of the mandarin. So the new fish will eat it up. I don't really over feed but the mandarin is a scatter brain and has to be babied. I specifically picked the chromis' to get all the random small stuff he won't. The clown will only eat by her frogspawn and the bangaii only larger pieces. I just build a custom feeding tube that hangs on the rim of the tank for the mandarin today and will train him to use it starting Friday. Any extra food gets blown around and eaten by the corals. After the water is clear than the filtration pumps come on. All water hits filter floss first so anything extra is thrown away and has no chance of breaking down in the rear chambers. Also, more flow = no chance of food buildup Link to comment
bruce922 Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 Great pics Stevie. I like the school you just picked up. How do you keep your water so clear, weekly water changes I guess right? Bruce Link to comment
