d9hp Posted October 24, 2010 Share Posted October 24, 2010 How's the foot man? That's too bad you laid the bike down but it could definitely be worse! Tank looks rad. Great shots as well. NEW FTS! Link to comment
cruzH20polo Posted October 25, 2010 Author Share Posted October 25, 2010 Those pictures are incredible. Hows everything going? Thanks! How's the foot man? That's too bad you laid the bike down but it could definitely be worse! Tank looks rad. Great shots as well. NEW FTS! The tank isnt ready for a new fts at the moment Overall im healing fine, got the cast off my wrist 2 weeks ago, this past weekend was my first days without wearing that annoying boot for my foot, almost all the road rash is gone, but injuries i didnt notice at first like my shoulder and abs (which didnt hurt at all compared to my foot or my arm) are the ones that are bugging me the most. but all in all... its all good Link to comment

driftsaru Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 i cant believe this is only a 29g, it looks like the 125g cube at my LFS....that branchis going to look AMAZING once it gets its grow out. following this build along Link to comment
cruzH20polo Posted November 10, 2010 Author Share Posted November 10, 2010 Lobo, acan... Phhtt - so technical. haha .... we are gonna need to make another trade soon .... just fyi i cant believe this is only a 29g, it looks like the 125g cube at my LFS....that branchis going to look AMAZING once it gets its grow out. following this build along thanks a lot, I still need to adjust some things, and im thinking another 5-7lbs of liverock would do the trick ... and I just want that branch to be COVERED in coral ... itll take time I know ... but I want it now Link to comment
Arkayology Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 Great pics. Give it time and you will have your coral x-mas tree Link to comment
cruzH20polo Posted November 13, 2010 Author Share Posted November 13, 2010 So after much thought and consideration .... I've decided that I am not happy at all with the way this tank turned out. The branch is hard to light My light isn't strong enough for that height of tank Im starting to think the branch looks awkward no matter where I put it. Not happy with the growth im seeing its loud ... the list goes on not to mention neglecting my 5.5 overall ... just I know I can do better so I am now in the market for 10-15 cube: plans: cube: -75watt MH (from 5.5) and rig the 2 powerbrites -HOB fuge mod (chemipure and cheato) -mp10 es -diy ato and lots of water changes! going real basic here get rid of the 29 BRINGING BACK THE 20L! frag tank: -move to garage -24" sundial t5 -same sump and stand as used before and with the 29 -same ato what do you guys think?

fallenlordz Posted November 13, 2010 Share Posted November 13, 2010 nice stuff you got there Link to comment
Arkayology Posted November 13, 2010 Share Posted November 13, 2010 I think you should do what makes you happiest with your tank. I always did like the 20L. Just be careful with moving all this stuff around too much. Might not be good for the fish and corals. Link to comment
boosted chemist Posted November 13, 2010 Share Posted November 13, 2010 TBH, ive had a 29 before, not a fan of the dimesions. You do what you like, but i was happier in a 20l than a 29, and cant wait for my 40b , Something about too tall tanks, is more for freshwater imo. Link to comment
cruzH20polo Posted November 14, 2010 Author Share Posted November 14, 2010 nice stuff you got there thanks! I think you should do what makes you happiest with your tank. I always did like the 20L. Just be careful with moving all this stuff around too much. Might not be good for the fish and corals. I know, Ill be taking my sweet time, this is the first tank in the past 2 years ill be able to set up while not in the middle of moving... so Ill have plenty of time to fix any kinks before things get up a running. TBH, ive had a 29 before, not a fan of the dimesions. You do what you like, but i was happier in a 20l than a 29, and cant wait for my 40b , Something about too tall tanks, is more for freshwater imo. I agree, I keep picturing an angel fish and tetras in that tank Link to comment
cruzH20polo Posted November 15, 2010 Author Share Posted November 15, 2010 or... I could use that overflow box to hide the heater and float switch, and it would allow for some surface skimming Link to comment
Arkayology Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 Dude, get the 14x14x14 cube, slap a 70w MH on that baby and you are ready for some SPS shenanigans. Link to comment
cruzH20polo Posted November 15, 2010 Author Share Posted November 15, 2010 thats what I was thinking! Link to comment
the_gats Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 Or..... Stop resisting and just go 40B. Link to comment
boosted chemist Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 Or..... Stop resisting and just go 40B. 40b is the new 20l, Link to comment
