drichards36 Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 Bump, anymore JBJ's? Of course, here's mine. 28g nano HQI, hoping to change to LED's later in the year because the heat output is really getting tough to control. Link to comment

geckoman2003 Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 I'm new to here and to reef keeping. I'm setting up a 28g hqi. I'm on a budget. So I get to buy things as I go. My tank is currenlty getting a leak test. I will be ordering my live rock next week. I already have my LS. So I'll be setting up the LR and LS when I get the rock. Any recommendations as where to buy the rock from and what type to go with? I am thinking about Live Rock Ranch premium deco rock. Anyone have any dealings with them? My main concern is hitch hikers.

rdahlke1105 Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 I personally preferred Tampa Bay Saltwater. I went with a combination of base rock and live rock. I also put the rock down before I put the sand. The reason being you may want to get a fish or shrimp that like to burrow. This can cause the sand to shift and possibly cause a rock slide. Not a good thing to have happen. Link to comment

Not a good thing to have happen. I checked out TBS webpage. They seem to have some good rock, but also seem to more into selling the package deals. I'll have to give it some more thought. I like the idea of Aquacultured rock. I'm not a greenie kind of guy, but this seems to be more responsible way of going. Pluss some of the Deco rock I've seen picts of are realy cool. Did you have much in the way of bad hitch hikers? Link to comment

HI geckoman2003 I just started my tank 2 weeks ago and ordered my live rock from http://www.gulfliverock.com/ But i used eBay to buy from him... 20 lbs for $80 plus $25 for shipping. the best part is i got about 24 lbs. http://shop.ebay.com/gulfliverock/m.html?_...p;_trksid=p3686 Just read the reviews... amazing rock... tons of life... i have a mantis in mine... fun to watch during the cycle.. Going to find a home for him. But i also got tons of sponges, gorgonians, flower nems, tons of macro algae and finding new stuff everyday. I am no expert but i am very pleased with my rock Hope this helps Link to comment

Mini-Dude Posted February 23, 2011 Author Share Posted February 23, 2011 We really need to figure out how to make a banner. That would be so cool. Link to comment
Mini-Dude Posted February 23, 2011 Author Share Posted February 23, 2011 I think in might be able to get us one. I just PMed Mr. Microscope (the one who makes banners for peoples tanks who win contests) and asked how to make one and if he would be willing to make one for us. :: Link to comment
reefernanoman Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 I got my own little thread, but i'll post here too: I got and old school 24g nanocube with 150w mh and 2x24w t5(only one working right now), a jbj chiller, jbj auto top off. In the back: chamber 1 sponge, chamber 2 chemipure with remora skimmer, chamber 3 chiller pump return pump and heater. In the main display: hydor coralia nano, tunze nano stream pump, about 15lbs of live rock, about 10lbs of live sand, montis, spongedode encrusting montipora, screaming green birds nest, a small falsce perc clown fish, lawnmower blenny, and a shrimp and goby pair. Not too many corals, but tank has been running for about 2 yrs. I used to have a nice RBTA in there but I had to move it to my 75g tank since it was getting huge. I had a terrible case of hair algea, so I got a tuxedo sea urchin to get rid of that, but I had to sell it because it ate it all. A couple of pics: I also got some candy canes. Link to comment
urbaneks Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 I posted a bunch of new photos on my tank thread. They are on page 12 if anyone cares to see them. Here are 2 for the jbj owners thread. This is a full tank shot at 16 months This is a shot of the top of my tank. The new acro is my first of many to come. Link to comment
