RobDMB Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 I noticed you stated you place the media rack in Chamber 1. May I ask what you include in that rack? Also, what do you currently have in chamber 2? Link to comment

RobDMB Posted October 6, 2009 Share Posted October 6, 2009 Thanks for the reply. I'll have to see if I can make a similar media rack. I guess you could also put some chaeto in chamber 2 additionally if you wanted correct? Link to comment

I just want to know how you feel about the tank? I really like it... I had a Nanocube before this one and there is no comparing the two... No heat issues is what I like about it, that and it's a Rimless beauty! I'm planning on getting another one for frags... You cant go wrong with a CAD Link to comment

Jbobaloo Posted October 29, 2009 Share Posted October 29, 2009 Great looking tank! Just curious... did you add any lights for moonlight/nighttime? Link to comment
reeftankguy Posted October 29, 2009 Author Share Posted October 29, 2009 Great looking tank! Just curious... did you add any lights for moonlight/nighttime? No I don't need them... RB's on 1 hr before CW's, RB's still on 1 hr after CW's go out... Dawn to dusk effect is in play... Link to comment
reeftankguy Posted November 2, 2009 Author Share Posted November 2, 2009 Latest FTS... Not much but this is what it looks like when I run the LEDS at 50% CW, 30% RB... This tank is 6 months old... I have added the live stock at a slow pace and have never had 1 problem, No GHA, Cyno Etc etc... I use only distilled water and do 4 gallon WC every week... Link to comment
reeftankguy Posted November 9, 2009 Author Share Posted November 9, 2009 The newest addition to my CAD 12G... 2" Gold Teardrop Maxima... It opened up right away... Pic is after acclimation and being in the tank 20 minutes... This pic doesnt do this beauty any justice! I give "Pacific East Aquaculture" 2 thumbs up for Quality, Packing and Shipping, Healthy arrival and overall great customer service! This is their (PEA) WYSIWYG Pic... Link to comment
opy01 Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 WOW! That is one awesome looking clam! If that pic doesnt do it justice then I would love to see a more accurate one lol. I love the pattern. Link to comment
reeftankguy Posted November 9, 2009 Author Share Posted November 9, 2009 Thanks Opy... The pic sucked becuase I just have a Kodak Z740... I have been following your tank thread and think it is great also... Keep up the good work~ Link to comment
opy01 Posted November 9, 2009 Share Posted November 9, 2009 Thanks! I was tempted to get a clam but I was too scared. Now I dont have any room lol. Now you guys are making me want to start another tank lol. Link to comment

Now you guys are making me want to start another tank lol. No room? I'm sure you have a rock with some space to place one on... Dont be scared... Just do it! Link to comment
Weetabix7 Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 Very nice looking clam. Link to comment
reeftankguy Posted November 10, 2009 Author Share Posted November 10, 2009 Very nice looking clam. Thanxs Weet! It has been 6 days and she is still lovin her environment... I placed her on the live rock mid way and she moved down to the sand bed... LED's are to strong maybe! Link to comment
Nano sapiens Posted November 10, 2009 Share Posted November 10, 2009 Thanxs Weet! It has been 6 days and she is still lovin her environment... I placed her on the live rock mid way and she moved down to the sand bed... LED's are to strong maybe! The clam 'up-n-moved'? Maybe rolled down... Beautiful pattern on that clam. Hope it doesn't grow too fast on you or it'll need a bigger tank soon Link to comment
reeftankguy Posted November 10, 2009 Author Share Posted November 10, 2009 The clam 'up-n-moved'? Maybe rolled down... Beautiful pattern on that clam. Hope it doesn't grow too fast on you or it'll need a bigger tank soon I dont think so... It attached to the rock the second day... When I got back home Monday it was on the sand bed... I guess it could have said " I'm moving " and tumbled down... It's attached to something in the sand bed now cause I tried to move it and it is snug... As for a bigger tank...I already have one... Oceanic 55 gal, 10gal Sump, Skimmer (Just needs a DYI LED System and a MP40)... It was my FOWLR 10 years ago... When I get settled I plan on setting it back up... Link to comment
zemuss Posted November 19, 2009 Share Posted November 19, 2009 It could be attached to the glass now. Link to comment
reeftankguy Posted November 19, 2009 Author Share Posted November 19, 2009 It could be attached to the glass now. It was attached to some of the LR rubble I put down before the sand when I first set up the tank... I was able to dig it out (Clam and rock) and placed it back where I wanted it... It hasnt moved since and is doing great under the LED's Link to comment
spencers Posted November 20, 2009 Share Posted November 20, 2009 Just read through your thread (and the Ultimate LED guide)... Lots of good info. Tank looks wonderful! If my stock lighting setup ever breaks (brittle cadlights legs) or if I want more output, I'm definitely going this route. Link to comment
