Uhuru Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 Awesome! I'm thinking of running a 36" 10 bulb powermodule on my 48" tank to reduce heat/energy costs. I have a 2 x 250w radium setup I need to unload though... Link to comment

I have a 2 x 250w radium setup I need to unload though... Thanks, In hindsight, I could have gone 48" with the tank, and still been alright. The light is just that good I think. If I had known what I know now, I would definitely gone 48" with the 36" Powermodule.... Those are some bad a$$ shots Thanks man, our next swap will probably be in Vallejo, so not too bad of a drive for you, I can definitely hook you up, when you're ready. I just drooled a little. LOL, thanks Link to comment

fishez4alivin Posted April 26, 2009 Author Share Posted April 26, 2009 I think I got my aquascape down, just need to unload a couple of corals to make room for stuff in the frag racks. Link to comment
fishez4alivin Posted April 26, 2009 Author Share Posted April 26, 2009 Equipment fit under the stand, including a custom sump, Schuran Jetstream 1 Calcium reactor, tank and aquariumplants.com regulator, cole palmer peristaltic pump and controller, tunze osmolator, ACJr, and Vortech drivers I can even fit a 2 1/2 G top off reservoir under there. parting fish shot Link to comment
fishez4alivin Posted April 27, 2009 Author Share Posted April 27, 2009 Anyway, because we are about to step into summertime, i decided to hook up the chiller. gotta love the two stage Rancho controller, had to fasten it on the side, since the back has the cables for the heater and chiller coming out, making it impossible to mount And here is the chiller plumbed in...well not exactly, its a drop in, so the coil goes into the return section.... Then i took some scoly eating sequences... Link to comment
sam91 Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 WOW that is an amazing tank and some amazing shots. What bulbs are you running in the powermodule? Link to comment
n0rk Posted April 27, 2009 Share Posted April 27, 2009 I.. I think I wanna cry a little. The jealousy is just too powerful Link to comment
fishez4alivin Posted April 27, 2009 Author Share Posted April 27, 2009 The bulbs I run are from the Front Blue+ Aquablue special Super Actinics Blue + Aqua Science 22K Aqua Science 15K Fiji Purple Aqua Science 22K Aquablue Special Blue+ Dont feel jealous, just need to make your purchases carefully. Equipment purchases that can be used again through upgrades. I could have never afforded to get the tank, if I had to upgrade all the equipment. but because I made equipment purchases for future upgrades, all I had to do was buy the tank and stand. Plus, I've seen a lot nicer set ups for a lot less. One tank in our local club is a bare bones 55, that is super sweet. He has the tank running 3+ years, and that is something that has no price.

fishez4alivin Posted April 28, 2009 Author Share Posted April 28, 2009 Thanks a lot man, much appreciated. Link to comment
bluenassarius Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 i'm very impressed with the update man Link to comment
n0rk Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 That scape really is one of the best I've ever seen. The use of the tank's dimensions to create something simple and unique really does come through - it'd be a shame to waste such a lovely system on anything less Also, that first Acro is gorgeous. What kind is it? It reminds me of an Aqua Delight my friend had a while back... Link to comment
fishez4alivin Posted April 29, 2009 Author Share Posted April 29, 2009 Much appreciated Sam...thanks Nork, the second acro is one I bought at Atlantis.net, they are local here in the SF Bay Area, its a tenuis, and I dont recall what they called it. Probably just blue green tenuis. Link to comment
TriggerHappyDude Posted April 29, 2009 Share Posted April 29, 2009 What camera/lenses you using for those nice shots? Link to comment
fishez4alivin Posted April 30, 2009 Author Share Posted April 30, 2009 Its not my camera, someone elses, its a Canon Xsi, not sure about the lens. Thanks for the comments. Link to comment
fishez4alivin Posted April 30, 2009 Author Share Posted April 30, 2009 Traded two different Acans for this Lineatus Fairy Wrasse Would have liked to have gotten a smaller one, but I didnt want my purple tang to kick it's a$$ Link to comment
Uhuru Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 sweet, how you gonna keep that wrasse from jumping out of that beautiful rimless tank? haha I ordered the last 36" 10 bulb powermodule reefgeek had in stock. How do you like the Aquascience 22k vs ATI Blue +? Link to comment
fishez4alivin Posted May 1, 2009 Author Share Posted May 1, 2009 LOL, i had two wrasses in my other rimless, and they never jumped, although its an expensive wrasse, I traded it for a couple of Acans, so I'm not sweating it. I was going to make a top screen, but am going to risk it, to preserve the look. The Aqua Science 22K is identical to the Blue +, but the 15K, is whiter than the Aqua blue special. You're going to love the powermodule....its just that good. Link to comment
fishez4alivin Posted May 13, 2009 Author Share Posted May 13, 2009 Natural Sunlight pics, NSL each morning from 630-930, corals seem to have really taken to it. RBTA Sunset has already encrusted onto the rock, since the move, i never glue it down, and just break it off when i move it...leaving frags of it behind Creamy blue tenuis I got from ATL ROK Mille ATL Appleberry LE Superman Ponape FTS Link to comment
