Zer0 Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 Cool! How's the macro setting on it? Link to comment
adinsxq Posted June 23, 2011 Author Share Posted June 23, 2011 good i guess. can't compare (of course) to a real macro lens. there's a little too much (internal) over processing, but i can live with it... but most photos at full 4000x3000 resolution look pretty crappy everything's getting a brown or green haze. time for "CUC" surface has a nasty film so i added a mj400 to help with circulation. water level is way up to 8"! i ordered some CSM+B and NPK (dry). on the hunt for CO2. keep going back and forth between a paintball setup and full size reguator/tank Link to comment

adinsxq Posted June 29, 2011 Author Share Posted June 29, 2011 OK so I bought most of the CO2 gear (2) 20lb tanks. Nasty bulky steel. One came full, so I guess I'll use that and in the meantime sell the second, empty tank. Regulator: Micromatic single stage regulator Clippard solenoid Fabco NV-55-18 needle valve Brass bubble counter I don't know anything about regulators... but it was pretty so I ordered. I hope it arrives OK. Used. Here's the sump. I know it looks like it was plumbed by a moron. I had good reasons to do this when it was supposed to be a reef tank... I had a lot more equipment to cram into this space. I don't even know if it will work. The output is split into so many directions. OH WELL WE'LL FIND OUT SOONER OR LATER. Link to comment
Zer0 Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 OH WELL WE'LL FIND OUT SOONER OR LATER. Yes. Yes we will. And it will be spectakyewlur. Link to comment
adinsxq Posted June 29, 2011 Author Share Posted June 29, 2011 i hope plain spectacular... not spectacular failure! Link to comment
adinsxq Posted July 1, 2011 Author Share Posted July 1, 2011 the more i raise the water level, the more brown clown my UG gets. it's so frustrating Link to comment
Christopher Marks Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 I absolutely love the aquascape, this is going to be incredible all growed up! Link to comment
seabass Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 OK so I bought most of the CO2 gearSweet; those 20lb tanks are pretty massive (yeah, that's what I have too). What are your plans for a diffuser? Will you be running it just during daylight hours, continuously, or switched on/off with a controller? Link to comment
adinsxq Posted July 1, 2011 Author Share Posted July 1, 2011 CM! Thanks! Seabass: I have a generic class/ceramic diffuser I was just going put in the sump... and probably add a cover. The regulator arrived. I am so bummed out. One of the gauges is bashed in. Link to comment
adinsxq Posted July 1, 2011 Author Share Posted July 1, 2011 The more I look at it, the more upset I'm getting. I was looking forward to finishing the build this weekend. Link to comment
seabass Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 Maybe they will ship you a new gauge based on your picture. Then you could use the regulator in the meantime and ship the damaged gauge back in the same box. Link to comment

seabass Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 We'd still like you even if you were angry fixed that for you Link to comment
