DaveFason Posted October 11, 2011 Author Share Posted October 11, 2011 I'll need help on that one Madea. What is HOOGE? -Dave Link to comment
aaron1987 Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 I'm guessing HOOGE = Huge Link to comment
Maeda Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 Hooge = extra-ginormous.. I swear, last picture I saw everything was about 1/8th the size of what it looks like now. Thats incredible! How do you achieve such success? Link to comment
DaveFason Posted October 11, 2011 Author Share Posted October 11, 2011 haha! LED's, good filtration, two Vortechs and some damn good luck I really cant ask for more. I have been planning my new tank for when I move. This is still way out but I am wanting to get certain things made first before prices go up ( Acrylic, PVC, ect. ). I am panning on a 6'x2'x1.5'. Still two years out! -Dave Link to comment

I'm starting to feel nostalgic about the good old days when I had a small tank... and I hear that that's not an uncommon feeling. Link to comment
DaveFason Posted October 12, 2011 Author Share Posted October 12, 2011 Yea. Your not the only one who has said that. I've also thought about putting together a ultra modern multi nano tank set up. Something you would see in a fancy art show. From planted to SW. The SW tanks being tied in together on a really wild filtration design. Doing something others have not done, possibly nano biotopes. 12x12x24" jawfish tank 10x10x10 Single Stag.Acro with acro crab and mini dart gobys 12" cube FW planted tank 14x14x6 look down clam/ seagrass 12x12x8 DSB Mangrove vivarium wth Cardinal/urchin 18x12x10 Rocky bottom with white cap goby/ yasha shrimp pair 14x10x8 Shallow rocky bottom maxi mini / sexy shrimp biotope 10" cube macro tank with small pipefish 10" NPS Dendro/Rhizo tank Lordy my list goes on and on... oh and of course all lit by Nano Box units -Dave Link to comment
iDream Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 Lord that sounds amazing.... minus all the maintenance Link to comment
DaveFason Posted October 12, 2011 Author Share Posted October 12, 2011 Yea, you would be really surprised on the little amount that goes into my current tank. With me being so busy, I may do a water change every four weeks. I have little to no algae on the acrylic front or sides. My skimmer is cleaned once every two weeks? Change the carbon out 3-4 weeks and feed a few times everyday. A bunch of small tanks would be cake for me! Link to comment
iDream Posted October 12, 2011 Share Posted October 12, 2011 Just plumb 'em all in together, one easy water change Link to comment

DaveFason Posted November 30, 2011 Author Share Posted November 30, 2011 Small update. Things are growing to the water line and plating out. What to do... -Dave Link to comment
sammy113 Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 Frag and send them to me that or upgrade to a 120g Link to comment
aaron1987 Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 Pics or it didn't happen. I always threw chunks away when I started running into that problem but you've got some rather nice pieces that it would be a shame to chuck! I disagree about upgrading. Frag the coral and sell them, seed another tank or pitch them... but there is no substitute for a mature, grown in tank. There are precious few in the hobby. Link to comment
DaveFason Posted December 1, 2011 Author Share Posted December 1, 2011 I'll try and snag some photos tonight. Don't worry this tank is going to be set up until I move from my condo. Remember my TOTM, five years is my goal. Tossing the idea to buy a 25cm cube and throw in a anemone or two and stack it with tons of shrimp. Or a single large acro with acro crab pairs. -Dave Link to comment

I'm already at that point where I need to upgrade. I'm at the point where I have corals in my sump simply because I'm out of room. Though I'm in the works for a new rimless nano. An Amano style reef tank but I hope it will turn out that anyway. Link to comment
DaveFason Posted December 4, 2011 Author Share Posted December 4, 2011 Flat Tops FTS The Setosa has grown even more but the Red Planet keeps killing it as well. Making it look almost the same. Everything is getting giant. Behind some of the other stuff there are 40-50 Tubs Blue zoas, Pink Lemonade, Digi that is growing on the overflow. Give this a year and I cant wait to see it! Enjoy! -Dave Link to comment
Zer0 Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 You should post more shots of your webbed foot so lulz will ensue. Awesome tank Dave, those colonies are incredible. Link to comment
TheNordCelt Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 Awesome growth Dave! Nothing like a full grown tank, like Aaron said, there really aren't enough of them. I'm hoping I can find a local job, so I won't have to move mine again! Link to comment
Soopa1 Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 I saw one of your fixtures in Aquarium Center today. Nice work! It was cool to actually see one in person. Are you selling them at PF&R as well? Link to comment
DaveFason Posted December 4, 2011 Author Share Posted December 4, 2011 Thanks guys! Soopa - Thanks and what is PF&R? -Dave Link to comment

DaveFason Posted December 4, 2011 Author Share Posted December 4, 2011 To be honest I have never been there. I've known the guys at AC for a while now. Hopefully people will start picking them up locally -Dave Link to comment

No offense to ur buddies at AC..lol. You should also check out Dexter at Triad Reef Critters. He just started selling lighting as well. He is out on the edge of Oak Ridge and Kernersville. He actually used to own AC back in the day. Link to comment
