bioload Posted January 26, 2011 Share Posted January 26, 2011 Very nice so far just as I expected from your other tank. I'll be following along. Link to comment
Coastie Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Dude your tank is so awesome it makes me sick! HAHA ! can I borrow some of that tallent you have!? Link to comment
cdr5y7 Posted January 27, 2011 Author Share Posted January 27, 2011 haha thanks man. and its not me. my buddy who runs a store here in town helped me hang the light. kind of a pain since the stud was about 6 in off center of my tank so we had to move the tank a lil. but damn pump still isnt here, should be here in next couple days. and sunday (knock on wood) should have tank filled with more water and running it for a lil while. also trying to get in the BRS group buy and get me a skimmer. and if this guy locally breaks down his tank going to invest in more LR. we shall see though.

cdr5y7 Posted January 29, 2011 Author Share Posted January 29, 2011 thanks espresso. so lil frustration, i waited 11 days for my pump to finally get here. so i get it all ready and put it in the sump and turn it on. NOTHING. take it apart and still nothing, so i call the company and they tell me 5-7 business for the replacement. so i got a refund. at the same time found out a local guy had a eco 633 brand new in the box. so $20 bucks later i got it in the sump and everything is running perfect.

Coastie Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 Congrats! Thanks for the help with the stand btw. What bulb did you end up going with? Link to comment
cdr5y7 Posted February 3, 2011 Author Share Posted February 3, 2011 np, let me know when you start a build thread. and found a great price on a week old XM 20k. Link to comment
Coastie Posted February 5, 2011 Share Posted February 5, 2011 http://www.nano-reef.com/forums/index.php?...p;#entry3212903 I bought myself a reeflux bulb but am thinking of getting a phoenix as the reeflux made my pink and green montis the same color. The rest of the colors are pretty good but the dark greens seemed to get washed out a bit. Link to comment
cdr5y7 Posted February 8, 2011 Author Share Posted February 8, 2011 got my new skimmer today. with some light modifications i got it running like a champ. Link to comment
Coastie Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 Pics look good man! I'm still jealous of your Montis! Link to comment
cdr5y7 Posted February 13, 2011 Author Share Posted February 13, 2011 got a new addition to the tank tonight( RBTA-captive produced). did some moving around on the rock and everything is a little pissed. hoping to find a few more bigger pieces of rock and get a better scape. will get a FTS in the am.

Coastie Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 Damn I am jealous! I want one but haven't done it because I just set up the tank. Link to comment
cdr5y7 Posted February 13, 2011 Author Share Posted February 13, 2011 I gotcha. A girl about 2 blocks from me breeds all different kinds of fish and had a giant RBTA that spawned and had like 6 new ones a while back. So I had to grab one. I'm hoping it'll stay in that corner but that's wishful thinking I guess. Well see, now if I can get the clowns to host= sweet! Link to comment
inferno2113 Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 That thing looks awesome! I'm hoping to get one also. But I'm still undecided. Your tank is looking awesome! Link to comment
