biggyal66 Posted July 22, 2010 Share Posted July 22, 2010 So reef2.5 where did you get that tank at and if you built it can you give me some instructions on how to build my own? I just bought a 5.5 and I am wanting to add a micro ledge in my tank. Thanks Link to comment
reef2.5 Posted July 23, 2010 Author Share Posted July 23, 2010 So reef2.5 where did you get that tank at and if you built it can you give me some instructions on how to build my own? I just bought a 5.5 and I am wanting to add a micro ledge in my tank. Thanks Well I did build it. If you look on page 5 it has some dry shots I didn't take any pics of the biuld process. I did think of just converting a tank already done but then you have this dead spot under the ledge. So I'm not to sure how you could pull that off there is another tank like you want to do that I've seen on here. I could give you my cut list that I used to build mine then you could order all the pieces and just asemble or I would love to build you a "plug and play" system. Hopefully that helps a bit if not maybe more specific questions To every one else thanks for all the great comments and good luck to all can't wait to see those aug. Pics Link to comment
reef2.5 Posted August 4, 2010 Author Share Posted August 4, 2010 I finished my led fixture last night to replace the 20 watt pc bulb yippee. It looks way different the coral accually has color and just in time for the aug. Pic I just hope all the coral takes to it well Link to comment

biggyal66 Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 Just amazing!!! I just finished my Retro LED Aqualight so now I need to cut some acrylic and make my ledge. Cant wait for mine to start to take shape. Link to comment
reef2.5 Posted September 1, 2010 Author Share Posted September 1, 2010 Just amazing!!! I just finished my Retro LED Aqualight so now I need to cut some acrylic and make my ledge. Cant wait for mine to start to take shape. the only thing i would say is seal in the ledge area so there is no stagnet water and debris do you have a build thread ide love to see what your doing with the same style of reef Link to comment
Wendy Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 Wow, it's really amazing how you were able to get such variety in that itty bitty tank! Link to comment
reef2.5 Posted September 2, 2010 Author Share Posted September 2, 2010 So I stoped buying water from the shop and bought some salt I got "h2ocean" so far I've done four changes and already seen massive changes in color and some really quick growth on the bird nest. What kind of salt do you guys use? Also don't think has to do with the new salt but my trumpet is totally spilting soon ill have four heads. This is such a fun hobby and contest thanks to all of you 12 who stuck it out hope to see you all at the end Link to comment
reef2.5 Posted September 16, 2010 Author Share Posted September 16, 2010 So I know its kind of scary to start changing stuff when its going good but I'm just not getting the coraline growth that I would like to see. So I got ,nanocode 2 part system and a calcium test kit hopefully that gives it a kick. Any thing else I should be testing for???? Link to comment
.Newman. Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 magnesium, and phosphate tests are important because they are related to calcium... Link to comment

BigRok Posted September 25, 2010 Share Posted September 25, 2010 Hey Reef. I get the same message anytime I tried to link to a thread from an image. I am baffled as to how everyone else does it. Link to comment
Mr. Microscope Posted September 25, 2010 Share Posted September 25, 2010 Try this one. It's centered. I think the problem might be with the ticker. Take that out first. Put it in your first thread post if you want to keep it. Bigrok, that might be your problem too. I just tried putting it in my sig and it worked. Link to comment
