fly_boer Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 If only they sell transparent MP10 Link to comment
gabe_j Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 If only they sell transparent MP10 wouldnt that be something... you should give them the idea, mabe an acrylic housing and silicone impeller.... that would be awesome! Link to comment
JamesReef Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 I personally think acrylic in an ADA tank is just as obtrusive, if not more than, black. At least with black you can mostly hide it with a black background. I have seen ADA tanks with clear acrylic overflows and it stands out more than you think, at least to me it does. We need a vortech that operates like the new Dyson that uses wind induction technology that doesnt even use exposed props for an even thinner profile. Link to comment
gabe_j Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 nah some good well machined acrylite should be fine you can fire it for a clear glass like finish on the edges. i still think it would look cool if it could be done. all you would see would be the blur of the magnet driving the impeller anyways. @lgreen that tank still looks awesome! also where'd you get the lily pipes? i'm not so fond of paying $90 for ada pipes Link to comment
lgreen Posted June 17, 2010 Author Share Posted June 17, 2010 Nice tank, green.

It doesn't bug me at all. I got these ones: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...e=STRK:MEWNX:IT Personally, I wouldn't recommend them. They are functionally fine, but came a little scratched up. Look on ebay for the aqua magic ones. They aren't too much more expensive and are supposed to be nice. Unfortunately they were on back order for a few weeks when I needed to order mine, so I tried this other company. Wish I had waited. Also, I just bought a 90g reef off of craigslist. I'll be moving it to my house Sunday. It needs a few upgrades equipment wise, but overall is pretty dang nice and the price was too good to pass up! I've already spend like 3 times that price just on this 18g tank http://boise.craigslist.org/for/1789937913.html And yes! That is green star polyp, not hair algae haha. I've never seen so much gsp in my life! Link to comment

wtfe Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 Thread revival! How do/did you handle top-off in this tank? I have the 12" ADA cube and a peristaltic pump dripping topoff into a HOB filter. I'd like to go to a can filter / lily pipe setup, but I haven't figured out ATO... thanks, b. Link to comment
lgreen Posted February 22, 2011 Author Share Posted February 22, 2011 I never got around to setting up any type of ATO on this tank. Also, just an update...this tank is no longer running (hasn't been for several months). Merged everything into the 90g. The gf wants a mantis shrimp, so we may use this tank for that later this summer or I might use it for a frag tank. Link to comment
