TheNordCelt Posted September 24, 2010 Share Posted September 24, 2010 Sweet tank man, you should have your baby go snorkeling. They hold they're breath naturally right? Link to comment
Carloslekak Posted September 25, 2010 Share Posted September 25, 2010 Awesome tank! Maybe when I graduate from law school and pay off my school loans.... Link to comment
Aquanist Posted September 25, 2010 Author Share Posted September 25, 2010 Thanks Curly Joe, Patrick and Carlos! This is what I added today! Link to comment
Aquanist Posted September 27, 2010 Author Share Posted September 27, 2010 Got some work done on my stand today. Sump covered by black 6mm plastic with holes etc routed for equipment/cables etc. 6mm glass over fuge. So I'm minimising any in-stand evaporation Right side of my stand aka. misc. warehouse. Electricity dept. behind the wall. Right end of the stand opens up too. Tunze controller (+any controllers etc to come) mounted on magnet-holding false wall. Electricity resides behind it. Almost done. Needs just the final touches. Link to comment
Aquanist Posted October 4, 2010 Author Share Posted October 4, 2010 3 Pseudanthias squamipinnis girlies has been added to the tank today. The male seems a bit confused, but I'm sure he'll get to the hang of it soon. Pictures pending. Link to comment
Aquanist Posted October 9, 2010 Author Share Posted October 9, 2010 Finally I got it done and hung the ATI fixture to the ceiling. Only took me a fortnight of waiting and ten minutes of doing. Link to comment
animalmaster6 Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 Tank is looking stunning, pure and simple What are you feeding the corals and inverts? Are you dosing anything? Link to comment
Aquanist Posted October 10, 2010 Author Share Posted October 10, 2010 Thanks AM6! I'm dosing the tank with Tropic Marin Bio Calcium Liquid balling (3 liquids of which 60l/day). I'm also using TM Pro Coral Kalk as I use kalkwasser/lime water to top off. And I also add Mg to my top-off water. Amino acids are added weekly. EDIT: I don't currently feed corals or inverts anything. Link to comment
franklypre Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 Looks great I love the tank shape. Perfect for the lighting as well. Future TOTM for sure. Link to comment

Aquanist Posted October 10, 2010 Author Share Posted October 10, 2010 Thanks Franklypre! I thought TOTM had to be nano-size to qualify. Thanks for the compliment nevertheless! And this here is a LOONG way still from what I have in mind for this thing. Here's some acro shots for you to pass the time. I have 3 more acros, but no pictures yet (too small, too shaded too whatever). Link to comment
animalmaster6 Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 Nice SPS! I love the second one. Link to comment
Aquanist Posted October 11, 2010 Author Share Posted October 11, 2010 So acros are done. Quess we're ready for the montiporas? I'll add LPS, softies and fishes (and maybe even inverts) at some point too. Hope you enjoy! Link to comment

Aquanist Posted October 19, 2010 Author Share Posted October 19, 2010 Thanks! The fixture is ATI powermodule 6x54W. Bulbs are a combo of KZ, AM and Giesemann. Link to comment
TheNordCelt Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 How do you like the balling? Have you ever used 2 part and would you say it compares? Link to comment
geaux xman Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 how do you like the BM NAC7? Any experience with other skimmers that you thought it is better/worse than? Link to comment
Aquanist Posted October 19, 2010 Author Share Posted October 19, 2010 How do you like the balling? Have you ever used 2 part and would you say it compares? I've never tried 2part so I really can't tell. But I definitely wouldn't have it in me to manually dose anything on daily basis. So I really do like balling as the dosing unit does all the heavy lifting. I just fill the 5liter jugs when needed. I'm currently dosing 60ml of each liquid per day (total 180ml). how do you like the BM NAC7? Any experience with other skimmers that you thought it is better/worse than? I love my NAC7, to put it short. Beats the shizniz out of Tunze and/or Aqua Medic skimmers sold to same tank size (and bigger). - It's dead silent (you have to check the bubbles to see if it's working). - It produces a good amount of really smelly skimmate (I run it a bit on the dry side) - Easy to use and to dial in and adjust to different depths - It doesn't look too bad either.

geaux xman Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 what is your fish list? 2 clowns, convict tang, and pbt? Link to comment
Aquanist Posted October 23, 2010 Author Share Posted October 23, 2010 The fish list is actually this: - Ocellaris pair - Green clown goby pair - 4 lyretail anthias (1M + 3F) - Coral beauty - Azure damsel I swapped the convict tang to pbt (which died the very 1st night). My LFS compensated the loss by replacing it with the 3 female anthias. Link to comment
