Arkayology Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 Looks like you will have plenty of PAR with that fixture. Now you just need to fill this thing up with live stuff. What are you params like/how far into the cycle are you? Link to comment

JBM Posted November 5, 2010 Author Share Posted November 5, 2010 damn. 2x 1050... i had to toss mine into the bin -o-parts. i had it on an ocean pulse duo with a K 750. it was just too much... it made tornados of sand everywhere... empty tank with nothing but 20 pounds of lr & 20 pounds of sand. SO far no sand storms. Im not sure how well fish & coral will like this, might have to drop down to two 750's or a single 1050. not sure where im gonna go yet Looks like you will have plenty of PAR with that fixture. Now you just need to fill this thing up with live stuff. light is anywhere between 12-14" from sandbed. 1/2 of this fixture was on my 5g aio, kept a clam as happy as.... well a clam in it with this fixture Link to comment

JBM Posted November 9, 2010 Author Share Posted November 9, 2010 did testing today ammonia 0-.25 nitrate 0-5.0 nitrite 0 ph 8.1 temp 80* salinity 1.020 Link to comment
JBM Posted November 11, 2010 Author Share Posted November 11, 2010 Re-tested yesterday twice. Got all zeros across the board. Sg remains at 1.020 & temp dropped to a stable 78*. Anywho, added the first victim, I mean fish. A baby domino damsel. After 24 hours, still zero across the board & the fish is eating everything in sight. Plan is to test daily for another week. If nothing changes by Wednesday, ill add 2 frags a week till everything is transferred over. Will be ordering a cuc in 2 weeks from reef cleaners. Link to comment

JBM Posted November 12, 2010 Author Share Posted November 12, 2010 I just looked Ithink I might do the same for 40 though Yippee on them not having hermits rc does carry hermits, but i wouldnt get them, even if they where free. Not into letting a creature kill another one. Link to comment
JBM Posted November 12, 2010 Author Share Posted November 12, 2010 I've seen some cool hermits. But that accounts for. 005% of them. The other 99.995% are evil Link to comment
ap123 Posted November 13, 2010 Share Posted November 13, 2010 Love hearing this progress. This tank is going to be amazing! Link to comment
JBM Posted November 13, 2010 Author Share Posted November 13, 2010 Bought a ac70 w/ac30 pump from dasani. Now I don't need to put cheato in my display. Link to comment
Wilioli Posted November 15, 2010 Share Posted November 15, 2010 hey wast just wondering if there was a reason you didnt want to put up the lr against the back glass? i kind of wanted to do that for more frontal space..? Link to comment
JBM Posted November 18, 2010 Author Share Posted November 18, 2010 Been slowly adding corals into the tank. Things are looking good. I did wind up putting the rock againts the back wall. I have alot of frontal space. In the future I will probably add more rock to the tank. But then again I might not & just add rock that has frags 20g quick crew has been purchased from reef cleaners Link to comment
