peytonk Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 I was reading through your thread after I searched "in-line heater" because I just ordered a rimless tank and canister filter and was wanting the same heater you had. I was reading along and saw "Optimum Aquarium", I live 15 min from there 0_o weird. hows your tank coming along? Link to comment

I just bought a Illuminata and love your setup. pics coming soon. thanks.

I was reading along and saw "Optimum Aquarium", I live 15 min from there 0_o weird. hows your tank coming along? i love the in-line heater. haven't had any issues with it, i hear it click on with the RKE from time to time. I like that i didn't have to compromise space in the sump That looks very very cool, I can't wait to see updates. thanks. updates shortly Im curious to see how that refugium turned out as well as how the LEDs are working for you Love the clean design the fuge came out great. i threw some big turbo snails in there to clean it up. i'll post pics soon updates? any updates? on the way Link to comment
VtheMaestro Posted September 27, 2011 Author Share Posted September 27, 2011 Back with some updates. Pics of the Proflex sump and the custom MRC mini-fuge. The fuge is 3 sides black acrylic with a clear front for viewing. The back wall has overflow teeth. The box, which sits in the 3rd chamber of the sump leaving just enough room for the pump, is fed off a T in the return line and overflows into the return chamber. I'm not sure how much biological filtration it actually provides, but there's a nice pod population in there that ideally makes its way into the display to feed the tank. The macros and mangroves are doing well. Link to comment
VtheMaestro Posted September 27, 2011 Author Share Posted September 27, 2011 Does anyone have experience with the new magenta stunners from ecoxotic? I added 2 blue/magenta combo strips, but i'm thinking of adding about 3 more. Thoughts? Link to comment
VtheMaestro Posted September 27, 2011 Author Share Posted September 27, 2011 As promised, more updates. A full system shot showing the tank, sump, and side cabinet with topoff. The magenta/blue lights aren't on, but you get the idea . My favorite thing about my scape is that no rocks touch the glass, everything is securely stacked for perfect flow and viewability Link to comment

VtheMaestro Posted September 29, 2011 Author Share Posted September 29, 2011 How about a pygmy angel for a new fish? Since going salt i haven't had much luck with 2 flame angels or a coral beauty. I might try again, its not looking like i have many other options Awesome aquascape Thanks JDK Link to comment
VtheMaestro Posted October 27, 2011 Author Share Posted October 27, 2011 How about a pygmy angel for a new fish? Thanks. I took your advice and went with a flame angel. I also added a nice wrasse, a starfish, and a mandarin. Everyone is doing great. Pics soon. Link to comment
VtheMaestro Posted November 4, 2011 Author Share Posted November 4, 2011 Love the tank thank you very much. It's taken a backseat since I started my 7.5g project, I'm looking for ways to spruce it up Link to comment
VtheMaestro Posted December 19, 2011 Author Share Posted December 19, 2011 It's been ages since I've posted in this thread, most of my time is spent on my 7.5 pico build. Nevertheless, here's a pic I shot today of the tank in its current state. Link to comment
