uwwmatt Posted October 31, 2012 Author Share Posted October 31, 2012 Tank Video Here's a short video of my tank. The iphone doesn't do a great job of capturing video with the LED lighting, so the color shows up as significantly more blue in the video than it is in real life. Link to comment
Arkayology Posted October 31, 2012 Share Posted October 31, 2012 Looks like you have some really nice flow in the tank. Looks good. Link to comment

uwwmatt Posted November 1, 2012 Author Share Posted November 1, 2012 My new 40G water storage tank arrived. It has a bulkhead near the bottom on the other side so I can hook up a spigot. The plan is to build a stand and keep it in my office closet by my tank so I don't have to continue to lug 5 gallon buckets up and down stairs, and I don't have to have my RO/DI running in my laundry room constantly. My question for you all is: Should I use it for premade salt water, or just fresh water? If I use it for salt water, would I have to leave a pump mixing in it constantly, or could I just use one while I initially mix it up, remove it, and then add it back again right before my water change?

Kfmmartin19 Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 Yo Matt, sick tank. Is that Crocea just on the sand or is it attached to a rock? Link to comment
uwwmatt Posted November 8, 2012 Author Share Posted November 8, 2012 Yo Matt, sick tank. Is that Crocea just on the sand or is it attached to a rock? Thanks. The clam is attached to a small frag disc about the size of a silver dollar, and then just buried in the sand. Link to comment

You should get one more so you have salt and fresh, lol. I think once the SW is mixed it is Ok to store, but I'm not real sure???? Where did you get it????? Link to comment

uwwmatt Posted November 15, 2012 Author Share Posted November 15, 2012 Finally got around to ordering the overflow and return for my ADA tank. Its getting DRILLED Its been almost a year ago that I bought this thing and it still hasn't touched a drop of water. Sad Link to comment
Gramophone Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 Woo! Are you transferring everything over to the ADA at some point? Link to comment
uwwmatt Posted November 15, 2012 Author Share Posted November 15, 2012 Woo! Are you transferring everything over to the ADA at some point? That's been the plan. I'll probably have to part with a few things since the dimensions of this tank are a bit smaller. Link to comment
JR! Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 what overflow are you going with? Link to comment
Spirofucci Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 Plastic-Mart.com Thanks!!!!! I was looking for a tall, skinny storage tank that could fit in a rarely used shower I have. Link to comment
DaveFason Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 ADA plus the Nano Box unit. Looking forward to this... -Dave Link to comment
uwwmatt Posted November 16, 2012 Author Share Posted November 16, 2012 what overflow are you going with? I went with the nano overflow from glass-holes. ADA plus the Nano Box unit. Looking forward to this... -Dave Me too, I'm shooting for having it all running by Christmas. The only thing that might delay me is if I go for a custom built cabinet. Thanks!!!!! I was looking for a tall, skinny storage tank that could fit in a rarely used shower I have. I think they are actually located out of Texas, maybe you'll catch a break on shipping. I think I paid like $70 for the tank and $40 for shipping. Link to comment

Pinner Reef Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 My co-worker walked by as I was looking at the last pic. She was all "AWW How Cute! They're Kissing!" And I said "No, no.... They're gonna try and rip each other's jaw off" Her response was literally... "Well thats not very nice, Someone should stop them!" {sigh} -pinner Link to comment

uwwmatt Posted December 19, 2012 Author Share Posted December 19, 2012 hows the ada coming? I plan to drill it over the weekend. I am having a problem deciding if I should place the plumbing on one of the short sides, and set it up more like a peninsula tank. That would allow unobstructed viewing though both of the long sides. It just seems like it would be a waste of that beautiful glass to drill the longer side and paint it black. Thoughts? Link to comment
markalot Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Just saw this tank behind a pic of your new one. Grace US with a final fts please! Link to comment
