Islandoftiki Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Mike posted pictures of my new tank on the Micro-Reefs.com thread. It should be here tomorrow or Monday. Here's a sneak peek of my tank with the lighting unit that they're supplying. Better look at the light: Daylight, Actinic and moonlight all controllable separately. For a size comparison, that's mine on the left, with an 8 gallon in the middle and a 4 gallon on the right. It's going to be a sick setup with an AC70 filter with an InTank media basket to make it a filter/fuge. MP10 powerhead and my ReefKeeper Lite to control the lighting and heater. It's going to be nothing short of stunning. I just started to figure out how much I'm spending on this tank... don't ask. LOL. Link to comment
jcastle Posted January 13, 2012 Author Share Posted January 13, 2012 oh man! that's going to be sick when you set that up! lol i spend a lot on just the little 3 gallon pico so i understand how much you are getting into lol plus you got that mp10 and those are crazy pricey. are you goin to hang that light?

Islandoftiki Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 It's here! Follow along if you like: http://www.nano-reef.com/forums/index.php?...p;#entry3681642 Not sure on the light. I'll be setting it up with plain tap water at first just to make sure the filter/mp10 and heater are all working properly. If all goes well, I'll get it loaded with rock and start cycling it soon.

jcastle Posted January 18, 2012 Author Share Posted January 18, 2012 I'll take a picture of the pico tomorrow but nothing has changed with it everything is going smooth so that's good. I did start the thread for the 20 its in my signature. Follow along! Link to comment

Islandoftiki Posted January 18, 2012 Share Posted January 18, 2012 That's looking really good. I have that same kind of red mushroom in my pico, it's been splitting off and making new mushrooms every couple weeks. You should be able to frag up all of those softies and add bits of them to your new tank. Link to comment
jcastle Posted January 18, 2012 Author Share Posted January 18, 2012 there is plenty of that kenya tree coral for sure lol that stuff grows like a weed. and the gsp has grown some and it looks like the zoas are starting to spread around too Link to comment
jcastle Posted January 20, 2012 Author Share Posted January 20, 2012 my red mushroom has some brightly colored orange spots on it today. there are only two, but what does that mean? is that normal? is it makin more mushrooms? Link to comment
