tinctorus Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 Questions questions 1. Anyone using lifereef overflow/pre-filter boxes? wedge or regular? 2. Pics of your ATO reservoir? 3. Anyone have a refugium AND an ATO reservoir both fit into the cabinet for the 130? pics? 4. ATO hose, lifereef overflow box with J tube and tunze 9002, anyone have a picture showing all those things installed? Thank you much. I'll be using a RKL in my tank as well as the life reef overflow and refugium with chaeto, I will also have the RKL controlling an ATO as well as moonlights,wave maker control and a few other functions like dosing pumps Quote Link to comment

metrokat Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Somebody sent me a picture of the install of ecoxotic panorama PRO's on their RSM. Meh. Quote Link to comment
iball1804 Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 That's a little too ghetto and tacky for my taste. Meh is correct. Quote Link to comment
StevieT Posted January 2, 2012 Author Share Posted January 2, 2012 Yuck. Stunner strips are much smaller and can go horizontal. I've seen pictures and they look much better than that. Looks like there is on between the stock bulbs in that pic. Quote Link to comment
Needreefunds Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 ...but points given for the effort, and at least being somewhat functional. There is a DIY learning curve. Quote Link to comment
metrokat Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 Okay. Now I know what micro bubbles are. Quote Link to comment

Not a good pic, but here's one of my JBJ ATO in a 5 gal bucket: Quote Link to comment
metrokat Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 I thought it was just a controller with sensors (float switches?) and a socket to put the pump plug into. What am I looking at in this bucket? Quote Link to comment
StevieT Posted January 5, 2012 Author Share Posted January 5, 2012 Float sensor that goes in your reservoir and the pump Quote Link to comment
metrokat Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 oh it's that ugly?!! Have to keep it hidden then. Quote Link to comment
StevieT Posted January 5, 2012 Author Share Posted January 5, 2012 Just hide a 10 gallon tote in the stand Quote Link to comment
metrokat Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 I bought a 30qt sterilite container with a lid, hopefully that will work out with some cut outs for wires and this float switch business. Quote Link to comment

thadscottmoore Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 (edited) Questions questions 1. Anyone using lifereef overflow/pre-filter boxes? wedge or regular? 2. Pics of your ATO reservoir? 3.

ATO hose, lifereef overflow box with J tube and tunze 9002, anyone have a picture showing all those things installed? Thank you much. 1. lifereef overflow regular 2. ato reservoir is now a 5 gallon bucket- though before the sump I used a plastic storage container. the thing to the side of the storage container is my Kalk reactor that I still use with my current setup. 3. sure number 3 can be done- though space is very limited in the cabinet, thus locating ato reservoir outside of cabinet seemed much more logical. 4. my ato hose is installed into the sump- 9002 with steviet cup in the sump. though, this is older photo- I no longer use the 9002 (motor burned up). Now I use a Euro-Reef in the sump I need to take a photo of the overflow 5. I have one RKE running both of my tanks- the RSM and my Picotope. Main unit is actually mounted by the picotope and I have a remote display mounted by the RSM. Only functions that remain in the rsm original factory power strip is the skimmer function and the original circulation pumps. the heater, lights, ATO and other pumps are controlled by the RKE Edited January 6, 2012 by thadscottmoore Quote Link to comment
uxdesigner Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 I was wondering if anybody did a LED lighting upgrade besides Nguyen Led over 2 years ago. I've been looking at doing a diy, but not really sure what works in a 130 RSM. I retrofitted my RSM 250 with LEDs and kept the stock hood. It's been 6 months and growth has been amazing! Take a look at my build, would be the same for the 130 but only need 24 LEDs instead of 48. http://www.nano-reef.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=283788 Quote Link to comment

Spirofucci Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 I had to pay for mine, but he likes girls, so on your next order...... Quote Link to comment
metrokat Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 My tank is driving me nuts. Look at the shmutz in the water column! This garbage is a combination of microbubbles, pods and crap that the filter is just not picking up! I'm at my wits end, I've changed the floss on the filter twice and it still won't take it out!

Spirofucci Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 M E D I A B A S K E T ^ This! Plus you might consider removing the surface skimmer and add an mp10 if you haven't already. (don't forget the battery back up!) Quote Link to comment
