Lalani Posted May 30, 2009 Author Share Posted May 30, 2009 Dude, I can't. It's kinda hooked up and running, y'know. And I'm busy playing PS3...... so you'll just need to find the manual or something. +1 on dipping hose in hot water but also put a lil vegetable oil on the barb. I dont know about temperate tanks but I used clear hose on one of mine. It ended up growing algae in it and restricting the flow. Thanks for the tips. I recently read about algae growing in the clear tubes.. We'll see how it goes and if stuff starts growing in there, it should be too much trouble to change out with black tubing. Link to comment

Lalani Posted May 30, 2009 Author Share Posted May 30, 2009 lol... OC doesn't know what she started with that one.. Link to comment
xbwolfx Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 did you use the same size tubing for the inlet and outlet? the website says Inlet: 1/2" and Outlet: 5/8" Barb.... but the barbs are both the same size (accept 1/2 and 5/8) Link to comment
Lalani Posted May 30, 2009 Author Share Posted May 30, 2009 Yeah, I used the same size tubing for the whole thing - 1/2 inch internal diameter. Both of the barbed input/output thingamabobs are the same size on mine. Link to comment
xbwolfx Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 idk what i just used, but i used bigger tube on the input and smaller on the output. meh. Link to comment
maysorum Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 hi. quick question: have you experienced any condensation issues? Link to comment
Lalani Posted May 31, 2009 Author Share Posted May 31, 2009 Hi When the chiller is set to 58F, there are no problems at all with condensation. My central air conditioner is set to 75F. Now, when I was testing the chiller and the water temp got down to around 55F, that's when I started seeing condensation. Link to comment

moto826 Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 i need to get a chiller because i live in the Puget sound and live stock would be free now i want one to Link to comment
Mini_GBR Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 That is a very slick, clean setup. Can't wait to see it progress and get stocked. I have a feeling this thing is going to be awesome Link to comment
JLwaves Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 Looking forward to seeing this stocked and set up. Link to comment
Lalani Posted June 3, 2009 Author Share Posted June 3, 2009 Thanks, guys.. talking about getting livestock in the near future. Link to comment
soaptray Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 Interesting - looks like my 100g African Cichlid tank! I love the river stones - what critters do you plan on stocking with when your ready? Link to comment
notwithit Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 I love the idea and the stones! I had the priviledge of raising about 50 baby chinook salmon when I lived in western washington in my 40 gallon tall. Got some rock from the river, river water, and set up a big ol canister fluval outside in the garage for it all. Your setup makes me hearken back to those days.... Such a fun idea!!! Link to comment

Corynactis (strawberry nems) to start off with.. and anything else I can get my hands on that will work in a 10 gal. I love the idea and the stones!

notwithit Posted June 11, 2009 Share Posted June 11, 2009 Well, that sounds neat! Was great til we had to release them in the river. Won't hijack your thread any further. Your tank looks like its going to be wonderful! Link to comment
Lalani Posted June 25, 2009 Author Share Posted June 25, 2009 So ya, one of my LFSs has two waratah nems in stock.... Hmmmmm.... Link to comment
horusmachine Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 So ya, one of my LFSs has two waratah nems in stock.... Hmmmmm.... Get them!!!! Link to comment
Lalani Posted June 25, 2009 Author Share Posted June 25, 2009 I just emailed the LFS, asking them to hold the nems for me. $40 each isn't bad, right? My LFSs are usually insanely overpriced.. Going to go check them out tomorrow most likely. Link to comment

Psychosis Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 So, I'm not sure if this is the appropriate place, but I'm just wondering, do you not need such intense light for CW tanks? It doesn't seem like you're running any thing to "fancy." So the only expensive part of setting one of these up is the chiller? (and stocking it of course.) Link to comment

So the only expensive part of setting one of these up is the chiller? (and stocking it of course.) I'm sure some CW livestock require higher lighting, but the type of nems that I want to keep really aren't picky at all. I'm still very much a CW noob, lol. Basically, they don't require high lighting, but do require being fed a couple times a week at least. Yeah, a chiller and insulation around the tank to keep the temp stable are probably most important. Link to comment
Psychosis Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 Now I'm torn between a new Maco tank and a Cold Water... Thanks for the info Lalani. The tank is looking beast, by the way. I'm seeing a sexy tank in the not to distant future. Link to comment
