teamschreiba Posted October 29, 2012 Author Share Posted October 29, 2012 Looks great. Any updates on the new tank? Thanks brad! And yeah it should be shipping at the end of this coming week When are you buying your new big tank? Link to comment
brad908 Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Once I find the perfect stand. My fiancé is pretty specific on what she wants. And no way the current ikea bookcase can hold anything bigger, it is already starting to bow a little Link to comment
JR! Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Once I find the perfect stand. My fiancé is pretty specific on what she wants. And no way the current ikea bookcase can hold anything bigger, it is already starting to bow a little if you can come up with a drawing of something and we can figure out how we can get it there we can make it happen.

brad908 Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 She wants something vintagey looking. Think my best bet is antique/vintage shops or Craigslist and refinishing something. Needs to support 40+ gallons and a sump Link to comment

And no way the current ikea bookcase can hold anything bigger, it is already starting to bow a little Hmm that's going to be a little bit of a challenge. Going to have to be very sturdy to support that much weight. Might have to get something custom built. I'm still trying to figure out exactly what type of stand I want. if you can come up with a drawing of something and we can figure out how we can get it there we can make it happen. I agree!

pschom Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Awesome FTS. I know that MAME is difficult to clean but it looks real cool. What is your water change schedule? Curious cause I don't think I'm doing enough. Also, Brad. I have an idea. I'll PM u. Link to comment

Curious cause I don't think I'm doing enough. Also, Brad. I have an idea. I'll PM u. Thanks! I try and do a WC about every 7-15 days and do 2-4 gallons depending on how long it's been since my last water change. Since I started dosing I'm not as good at sticking to the exactly once a week WC Link to comment
teamschreiba Posted October 29, 2012 Author Share Posted October 29, 2012 What are you dosing? ESV B-Ionic 2 part with the BM triple doser. Link to comment
pschom Posted October 30, 2012 Share Posted October 30, 2012 ESV B-Ionic 2 part with the BM triple doser. I like. It's on my list along with a Neptune controller. Link to comment
teamschreiba Posted December 17, 2012 Author Share Posted December 17, 2012 Well this tank is officially in the process of being taken down. I'm no longer running the sump/MAME and have all the necessary equipment in the tank. I also have the mangroves from the sump in my tank and all my SPS are in quarantine. It does make for quite an interesting natural/lagoon type look and even at the end of this tanks life it still finds ways to entertain me Link to comment
qualitycontrol Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Did you end up taking any pics of the sump? I would have loved to see how this was setup. Link to comment

teamschreiba Posted February 8, 2013 Author Share Posted February 8, 2013 Did you end up taking any pics of the sump? I would have loved to see how this was setup. Here's the only one I had... What!!! This tank is being taken down??? Dude, no way....ada is too good to let go.... Sadly yes it is... It is still running with one rock left with just my maxi-mini anemone but all the other corals have been transferred over to the new tank. You could say it is extremely minimalistic I'm going to try and take some pictures to sell the whole setup locally since the thing is still full of pods and I don't want to completely take it down and lose all of them. I'll post up one last shot here before it's sold though so don't worry. 1 Link to comment
Deleted User 4 Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 I see. You know, you can always have the last thoughts of converting it into an anemone tank Instead of taking it down. Very low maintenance and easy. Yet pleasing to see it sway with a clown or two. Link to comment
qualitycontrol Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 what was the size of that sump? Link to comment
x3thelast Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 what skimmer is that? looks like a Reef Octopus NWB-110. what was the size of that sump? Eheim 1048 (first page) Link to comment

qualitycontrol Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 looks like a Reef Octopus NWB-110. Eheim 1048 (first page) Not size of the pump, size of the SUMP? Link to comment
x3thelast Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Not size of the pump, size of the SUMP? 24x14x14 but the water level only goes to about 7" (its cool, im a fan ) Link to comment
qualitycontrol Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 Pretty neat, I am guessing it was custom made. Link to comment

Very low maintenance and easy. Yet pleasing to see it sway with a clown or two. I've given it a lot of thought because I do love the ADA but I really want to make sure all my efforts are focused in on the Miracles. Plus I can't stand the sight of the heater in the tank Pretty neat, I am guessing it was custom made. Thanks, and yes it was by Advanced Acrylics. 24x14x14 but the water level only goes to about 7" (its cool, im a fan ) Pretty much right on there and I estimate I run ~10 gallons of water in it with it around 7". 1 Link to comment

Deleted User 4 Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 You can use in-line hydor heater to hide it from display or put the heater over in the sump? Ehh shifting all your emphasis on one tank is best though. Link to comment
