Dizzle21 Posted February 18, 2011 Author Share Posted February 18, 2011 Okay, now what? would you like me to do a dance for you or something? Link to comment
ajmckay Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 Actually a dance would be nice... But I think stocking plans/system goals might be good too. This should be interesting I've never really seen a tank with a white BG before. Do you have a specific reason for going white? Link to comment
Funkateer_1 Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 Glad to see another San Diego reefer. What fish stores do you go too? Link to comment

Dizzle21 Posted March 30, 2011 Author Share Posted March 30, 2011 well its about time for a update. got the plumbing done everything goes well just trying to tweak some things on the overflow to make it more quiet. I ran a auxillary manifold so can run up to 3 reactors and my display fuge. built a overflow cover so nuthen can sneak into the box and clog the drain and it silences the gurgling a bit. Just need to finishes skinning the stand i have the side panels done just need some wood for the doors. I wanna try to make just 2 doors that can pop on and off. for the meantime just letting everything run for a couple weeks making sure everything is working good. heres some pics.. Link to comment
Dizzle21 Posted April 11, 2011 Author Share Posted April 11, 2011 my tank got wet.... just have my temporary trim on the top to hold the lights till i build the floating canopy also waiting to get some sand im looking for a specific kind made by Tideline, so the rocks are just thrown in there. I plan on doin a nice scape once i get sand. Also just ordered 2 koralia evo 1400's to go with the reefkeeper... Link to comment
pimp4cheddar Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 Tank looks amazing and kudos on going with a white overflow and back glass...definitely the first time I've seen anything besides blue and black. Looks awesome!!!!!!!!!!! I thought about buying this same tank when I was looking for tanks in December. Glad to see someone brought one...beautiful tank! Link to comment
Mwil3 Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 I like it. The set up is clean and looks very nice. I look forward to seeing this thing come alive. Link to comment
Dizzle21 Posted April 11, 2011 Author Share Posted April 11, 2011 Thanks guys this tank is definetly in its infancy just transferred all the corals and cuc from the 10g to the 67 today everything is running good it was nice not haveing a cycle. water is crystal clear with this big a$$ skimmer. my plans is to get another reactor for bio-pellets and eventually get a mp10 or 2 mp10's to replace the koralias. also going to run some led gu10 bulb in with the t5's making a hybrid, gunna finish with a floating black canopy and skin the stand black. and removing the trim. stocking list: 2 naked clowns 3 green chromis midas blenny wrasse(undecided) corals: Mixed corals mostly sps eventually inverts: rainbow urchin and zebra crab emerald crabs conches hermits snails candycane pistol(will prob get a goby for him) Link to comment

tam Posted April 12, 2011 Share Posted April 12, 2011 i like apple bottoms. sweet white loc-line, can't wait to see what scapes you come up with when you get that sand in there! Link to comment
Dizzle21 Posted April 12, 2011 Author Share Posted April 12, 2011 I like the BB! it would be cool if it was sparkling clean but its 2 days old and theres crap all over, looks bad. and quick update just got a trio of green chromis, nuthen special 2 are happy and eating but the 3rd is shy and hiding he'll prob come out in the morning. And just got the brightwell Katalyst bio-pellets today and set them up in the reactor, well see how they do, i guess it takes a few weeks for the bact. to grow on them Link to comment
