MikeTR Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 Nice looking tank! Love that pipefish.. cute picture. I'm just about done..(finally!) with a 180g build. How are your anthias doing and how often/ what are you feeding them. I reaaaaally want to keep these. I've ready quite a bit about them online, but getting tips first hand is always helpful.

Anthias are very active swimmers and require lots of feedings. I usually feed 3 times daily to keep up with their metabolism. I've had a few jumpers which is why my numbers are dwindling. I'm down to my last two now, and hopefully they stop jumping. Link to comment
Deleted User 4 Posted June 28, 2012 Share Posted June 28, 2012 Wow, very nice! Tank is huge. What kind of seahorse was that, that I saw in your picture in the 2nd page...? Link to comment

Genj Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 Damn, that's so nice looking. And the collection of lenses you have... well let's just say that most people don't have that much tied up in their cars. Please let me know when you get bored of any lens you have so I can buy it 2nd hand! Link to comment

I'll have you know that collection is over 15 years in the making, since the days of having the film 1 series Canons! Link to comment
fewskillz Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 Beautiful tank. How's the stand coming? Link to comment
JamesHL88 Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 This tank is so awsome it makes me wanna punch someone in the face. Link to comment
TheWAND Posted July 6, 2012 Author Share Posted July 6, 2012 Stand has been completed for the last couple weeks. I'll get a couple pictures up when I have time. Think a chiller is a must because temp swings are causing RTN on some SPS. Link to comment
revaltion131 Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 Those must be some nasty swings. What are they like? Link to comment
TheWAND Posted July 7, 2012 Author Share Posted July 7, 2012 Those must be some nasty swings. What are they like? 78 at night all the way up to 82 during the day. Too much for my liking and a couple pieces in the tank as well. Link to comment
revaltion131 Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 Yeah, I keep getting annoyed with .5 degrees. Spiking up to 82 could cause problems for any cooler-water species for sure. Link to comment
jgpico Posted July 9, 2012 Share Posted July 9, 2012 This tank is so awsome it makes me wanna punch someone in the face. lmfao. This tank is pretty awesome. I want to have a couple pipefish in my 120 gallon once I get it up and running. What kind of flow do you have going through the tank and does your pipefish have any issues with the flow?

What kind of flow do you have going through the tank and does your pipefish have any issues with the flow? Three MP60 for flow along with the return. They should be fine with lots of flow.

Mecal Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 great looking tank! also, jealous of your 1.2!! Link to comment
ApiratenamedJohn Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 This tank is amazing! Following. Link to comment
MikeTR Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 Could try to set up a couple air king fans on the sumps, that should drop the temps to about 80. Really going to increase the evap rate though. Link to comment

Really going to increase the evap rate though. Thanks, I've had two fans set up to the Apex to run when temps run too high for a while now, they work like a charm. This tank is amazing! Following. Thanks! Have been having a few problems with the return pump. It had a complete failure this week, and we are waiting on a replacement, a mistake on our part to not have a second on hand. Things are suffering as salinity is hard to manage with evap and no ATO in the main display. Link to comment
jkaese Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 It's been a good while since my last update, but the tank has since been fully cycled and up and running for a bit. We've begun the stocking phase. Here's how it's looking now. very nice Link to comment
