Shallow Posted October 3, 2011 Author Share Posted October 3, 2011 okay a lil update We got the new return pump inlet thing installed, a check valve in the return pump line, and the custom aluminum lighting rail system. Link to comment
Shallow Posted October 3, 2011 Author Share Posted October 3, 2011 This tuesday, my ATI bulbs will be here... YAY! The combo will be Ati blue+ Ati Aquablue Ati Purple + Ati blue + I think that should look nice Link to comment
Shallow Posted October 3, 2011 Author Share Posted October 3, 2011 I got a free electronic float switch from a friend... Id like to do an ATO because the evap is crazy with all the surface area on the tank... Could i just simply make the top off with a small pump, some tubing, a five gallon bucket, and the float switch? Link to comment
Shallow Posted October 8, 2011 Author Share Posted October 8, 2011 More pics... the first one is my little bro's tank The rest is of mine... the new lights are really awesome. But the camera doesnt do it justice... i also got a bubble coral and a elegance coral. Sorry for the crappy pics Under the Ati combo i posted above the corals pop beautifully Link to comment
Shallow Posted October 31, 2011 Author Share Posted October 31, 2011 Here's my parents tank... Im apprehensive about posting pics of my tank cuz the lights throw off the camera's colors and theres no customizable wightbalance. If i were to get a rather inexspensive digital camera with all of the good settings, what would you guys recommend? I orderd the ReefKeeperLite Basic today... cant wait for it to come!

castiel Posted October 31, 2011 Share Posted October 31, 2011 Nice tank they have! Is that an LTA in the middle? Link to comment
Shallow Posted October 31, 2011 Author Share Posted October 31, 2011 Nice tank they have! Is that an LTA in the middle? It is an LTA, we do know that eventually we r gonna have to find a new home for it and the small marroon clown it hosts Link to comment
Shallow Posted October 31, 2011 Author Share Posted October 31, 2011 Hopefully i should be getting my ReefKeeperLite in the mail sometime this week... Any tips on how to set it up or any useful info about it? Link to comment
Shallow Posted November 1, 2011 Author Share Posted November 1, 2011 I really want to have a go at sps. i believe my tanks perameters are good for it. ammonia 0 nitrite 0 nitrate 0<.5 spcific grav or salinity 1.025 phosphates 0 calcium 460 (is that okay?) alk 10 Lighting: 2 dual 24in t5ho Ati blue+ Ati aquablue special Ati purple plus Ati blue + Would this be good enough for sps? The lights are approx 19" to the sandbed Link to comment
Rehype Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 You setup sounds fine for sps just make sure your water parameters stay that way. Link to comment
Shallow Posted November 1, 2011 Author Share Posted November 1, 2011 You setup sounds fine for sps just make sure your water parameters stay that way. I have been reading alot on here... and to my knowledge i wont really have to dose if i keed doing my weekly water changes... unless theres alot of alk and calc intake. Right? sorry for all of the questions i just wanna get my stuff right. Link to comment
Rehype Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 That's correct. Until your sps begin absorbing alk and cal faster than you can replenish them with water changes you will be fine. Link to comment
Shallow Posted November 1, 2011 Author Share Posted November 1, 2011 That's correct. Until your sps begin absorbing alk and cal faster than you can replenish them with water changes you will be fine. okay cool, im not planning to have exclusively sps, but i would like some monti cap and birdsnest Link to comment
Shallow Posted November 1, 2011 Author Share Posted November 1, 2011 Thankyou alot Rehype... youve been one of the most helpful people on here. Much appreciated I wish i could get some better pics of my tank. Our camera doesnt have a white balance that does any justice. In the pics it makes my prettiest corals look like poo. Link to comment
Rehype Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 Np bud glad I could be of help. Well your tank really looks great even if the pics can't capture all of the detail Link to comment
Shallow Posted November 1, 2011 Author Share Posted November 1, 2011 I dont think i posted it but for my birthday i got a badass bubble coral and purple tipped elegance coral theyre both about 3"x5" The other day i got a bright orange open brain Link to comment
Shallow Posted November 5, 2011 Author Share Posted November 5, 2011 My reefkeeper lite came in today... it is simply awesome, and its just the basic Link to comment
Shallow Posted November 6, 2011 Author Share Posted November 6, 2011 First off, Even though its only a basic, i love it. Second, Just got the Maxima last night for forty bucks and it was tank raised. He is about 1.5" (Sorry for the bad pics, the color is more white and a lil purple) And a FTS Link to comment
