FlCandy Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 Getting intense in here! I am stressed about my SUMP/Fuge plans you have to figure how to support close to 3000lbs on a stand. F that! I bet this is going to be fricking awesome! Soon as I can start fragging things let me know what you want. I can try and get you some more Sick SPS to start the tank with. Link to comment
gena Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 Someone start growing some Strawberry Shortcake so I can buy a frag off of you Link to comment
Deckoz2302 Posted April 16, 2012 Author Share Posted April 16, 2012 I got a nano box I heard. Congrats they are truly nice pieces of equipment Getting intense in here! I am stressed about my SUMP/Fuge plans you have to figure how to support close to 3000lbs on a stand. F that! I bet this is going to be fricking awesome! Soon as I can start fragging things let me know what you want. I can try and get you some more Sick SPS to start the tank with. Wooooooord lol I'm gonna need probably 100+ frags to stage up including what I have already to give it a good start. Someone start growing some Strawberry Shortcake so I can buy a frag off of you Haha I have a secret collection of frags I've been fragging off my stuff to make second and third colonies on a rack behind my rock work....I'll be trading and taking donations to fill up the cube hahahaha Link to comment

FlCandy Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 Reserve a SS for me please +1 I have Pearlberry, Tricolor Valida and I know you love that Pocilli! Link to comment
Deckoz2302 Posted April 16, 2012 Author Share Posted April 16, 2012 I will - my goal at first will be to make a 2nd colony of all of my stuff. To always have a backup colony. This will allow me to not frag anything in the display. Unless by accident or necessity due to warfare. I'll have around 6sq ft of frag tank space half for colonies and half for frags. And two corners with bins for maxis and one for bubble splits. I'm hoping I'll end up at the point after a year that I will have frags up to my ears and be begging people to take them off my hands lol Link to comment

surgicalsense Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 I wanted your hand-me-down frags ... I just couldn't afford the crazy shipping. Maybe when I move semi closer it will not cost as much? Question form You should just hold on to them anyways, larger tank Link to comment

FlCandy Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 Hot skimmer! For what your going to be running wouldn't be a bad or unsound investment. Link to comment

FlCandy Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 Way better then my sketchup! Wait it cleans it's own neck? How? Link to comment
jedimasterben Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 I have some new information that will change the way you look at "true violet" LEDs. I don't know what exactly I should/can say right now, but I can at least say that, and that for your tank, I would now recommend absolutely no more than 16x. I built most of my stand today, and asked my dad about yours. When I asked if you could help out with the design, he said "yeah, tell him we can build it this weekend, no problem!" and I was like "uhhh, he lives in another state." "Oh. Nevermind." You will need eight legs, with nine being preferable if you are making it yourself, as a CYA. One in each corner, one halfway between each corner, and one dead center of the stand. Build the main frame out of 2x6, and where the tank will sit, put a brace every foot. I wish I was better with Sketchup or I'd edit your design for you. Link to comment
surgicalsense Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 Wow Brad ... that is a crazy plumbing system. How about the noise? Link to comment
Deckoz2302 Posted April 17, 2012 Author Share Posted April 17, 2012 Wow Brad ... that is a crazy plumbing system. How about the noise? Main display tank will be herbie full siphon . My guess the Skimmer will be louder then the flow. Thinking of putting a type of mat on the inside of the doors to minimalize that. Only other fall will be from the frag tank but at a 13 inch drop it shouldn't be to loud with a durso or hoffer standpipe Link to comment
Spirofucci Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 I don't know if Avast makes good stuff, but it sure looks sexy! Link to comment

neuwave Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 Here's the idea for hanging - sorry its no sketch up Finally someone besides me who made a led with angled heat sinks. I highly suggest you go with your idea. Your corals will appreciate the extra light that comes from the sides. You will get the added benefit of having corals that have been placed under any tabling/plating corals to thrive not just survive off the reflected light. It also blends the led light together so you'll get less spotlight effect. Can't wait to see yours completed. Link to comment
