brshriver Posted June 21, 2008 Share Posted June 21, 2008 Did you drill the fuge? How does the water go in and out? Pump? Looks good! Link to comment
dtfleming Posted June 21, 2008 Author Share Posted June 21, 2008 yea a pump havent add it yet, i was think a mj404 to do that. Link to comment
dtfleming Posted July 2, 2008 Author Share Posted July 2, 2008 Tubs are pretty much done cycling. SG 1.026 Temp 78 pH 8.2 Ammona-0 Nitrite-0 Nitrate-5ppm alk, 9dkh fuge is running, I have a mj 404 pumping into it and a clamp on light with a 6500K bulb. Prob due a water change this week. and I had to start a paypal dispute with a local reefer that I bought the skimmer from. So we'll see if he actually ships this week before I start a claim.

brshriver Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 Almost time for some coral!!!!!!!!!!!! Link to comment
dtfleming Posted July 2, 2008 Author Share Posted July 2, 2008 haha, yea need a light first. got a pendent with no bulb or ballast. I havent heard back from the wamas member about the lumenarc setup. Link to comment
kgehrke Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 How much LR is in there? I'm guessing it was new since you cycled. Can't wait to see what this bad boy looks like when it's operating. It's gonna be wicked. Link to comment
dtfleming Posted July 3, 2008 Author Share Posted July 3, 2008 man that aqua ev 120 skimmer is bad a$$. its huge. right now its only 15-20lbs of marcorocks, I have another 50lbs coming. I really want to get the lumenarc setup from a local reefer, but I havent heard anything back from him. I have a reefoptix III pendent, so could just use that and get a ballast and bulb. I also need to get an ATO setup. Link to comment
Needreefunds Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 Looks cool DT! *sigh* , oh if I only had a basement...... to self for buying a slab house Link to comment
dtfleming Posted July 3, 2008 Author Share Posted July 3, 2008 Here's some pics of the fuge, skimmer and tub with some sand residue on the surface. Skimmer is producing foam less then 24 hrs of running. Link to comment

xdfireguy Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 FWIW the Koralia magnets will work through the sides of those tubs. I have a couple HK2's stuck in a 110g with no problems. (don't ask ) Link to comment

dtfleming Posted July 11, 2008 Author Share Posted July 11, 2008 Today is the day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Looking at the pic of the mangroves, I think I put them in upside down. Link to comment
scottyreef Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 wow that looks great did you already have all the frags in another frag tank before this one? Link to comment
dtfleming Posted July 11, 2008 Author Share Posted July 11, 2008 Yes, believe it or not, all that was in a 15L tank. Link to comment
scottyreef Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 nice stuff and i am amazed all that fitted in a 15 gallon tank so when are going to start fragging stuff up so i can buy it from you? Link to comment
lilredneckman Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 Lol yeah there definitely upside down. Everything looks great! I found a few caps i want already. Link to comment
Burks Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 Looking good! I might be taking down my POS frag vat and putting two of these types up instead. I've had nothing but heartache with my current setup. Link to comment
Burks Posted July 14, 2008 Share Posted July 14, 2008 After reading your thread from front to back about....five times I have a couple questions if you don't mind. In the top tub, what do you have underneath the frag rack? How far is it above the bottom? How far up do you have the light from the water surface? What size of PVC are you running for the flow to the sump? Any plans for future addition of sand to either the display or sump? No fishies? I've come to the conclusion my setup is just not efficient at nutrient export and it would be cheaper to scrap it then pull huge water changes weekly to compensate. Link to comment
