bonese Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 Too jealous to formulate words about the thunder storming LEDs. I saw that you have the R.O. 1000SSS - I have the 2000SSS running on my 40 and my god they are beast. I'm interested in seeing your review on yours as I was going to go with that one. I am definitely following this build, Every time you pump something amazing out. Link to comment
spanko Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 The thunderstorm while really cool to see makes me wonder if it is doing anything for the coral at all. I have mine set at 25% chance of storms 1 time per day. Have seen only one in the three weeks I have had the unit. My house has a L shape. Woke up one morning, looked out the bedroom window and I see what looks like a fire in the living room window. Rush out there and it is the damn thunderstorm happening. Link to comment
d'Espresso Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 thunderstorm? omg! i gotta see this Link to comment
spanko Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 Not my tank but you get the idea. The lights actually dim at the start to simulate cloud cover moving in. They last for about 10 minutes or so. Link to comment

I don't think it helps the corals or fish in the slightest, but it looks just too freakin cool! thunderstorm? omg! i gotta see this So whatcha think? Not my tank but you get the idea.

I have the bar finally finished! Grout is all done, just need to seal it (quick job for another night); need to do some acrylic work including finalizing my sump design. Oh, and re-charge my camera battery. Link to comment

sekkeee Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 Awesome tank calvin415!! can't wait to see it stocked. Had one question tho, do you know if the AI sol is good enough to grow sps and acro? Link to comment
calvin415 Posted February 15, 2011 Author Share Posted February 15, 2011 Oh hell yeah, pulling up a chair. Lol, thanks! Coool. thanks! That's sick! Thank you very much! Awesome tank calvin415!! can't wait to see it stocked. Had one question tho, do you know if the AI sol is good enough to grow sps and acro? Thanks and yes. I got the Sol so the I can dim it down to avoid burning the Acros I'm planning. Updates! NOWW Ok... Uh my battery is still dead. Guess you'll have to settle for my phone... Grout is done, working on finishing under the tank, but the tank is drilled and ready for some PVC pipe. Need to build my sump still along with an overflow box, but I have my designs finished and really stoked with my ATS design. . Also just ordered the last of my pieces to build a safety into my ATO since it will be fed from a 55 gallons drum. If it were to fail, 55 gallons of oops. 1 Link to comment

calvin415 Posted February 21, 2011 Author Share Posted February 21, 2011 Alright, call me crazy, but I decided to plumb in a second 55g drum and I ran a line from my 175g mixing barrel. I now have 110 gallons of ATO water available and a hose near by for instant water changes as needed. Link to comment

calvin415 Posted February 22, 2011 Author Share Posted February 22, 2011 That would give my fish heart attacks! Every last one of them. I doubt it... Okay, camera battery is charged... Er at least was until I started taking all kinds of pics. Sump is built, but a few tweaks are still needed. Link to comment
spanko Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 Is that bulkhead attached to the wall or just sitting up against\through it? Link to comment
sammy113 Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 Very nice build! Love tank and lamp! That skimmer is a beast. I have the same one on my 20g tank and it pulls a ton of nasty juice. The bubble blaster is the best skimmer pump I've ever seen Link to comment
