iball1804 Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 Oh wow! Looks awesome so far. Link to comment
FireCorals Posted February 5, 2012 Author Share Posted February 5, 2012 Thanks iball1804. More updates: Sand added Rock added Filter added Went to go get some R/O but the closest LFS had really high PPM and I didn't have time to go to another place today, so going tomorrow and picking some up and ordering a RO/DI unit so I don't have to worry about that. Will keep updating when more equipment starts to come in... Can't wait til the lights get here! Link to comment
FireCorals Posted February 15, 2012 Author Share Posted February 15, 2012 Sorry I have not updated this thread lately, been really busy. Some new additions: 50w heater, great little heater, no problems thus far a week in. Building a screen top, had to make some adjustments and riggings for it to fit right, will be painting black and should be receiving 1/4" clear polypropylene screen today. LEDTRIC™ Par38 Tri-color 18.5w Lamp came in yesterday, looks great, going to install soon and take some pictures over the tank. Red Fin Fairy Wrasse, will be living here til my frag tanks are moved to their new location. Was shy at first, but he's already out and about eating pellets. Will update more when I get the light over the tank and start moving over some corals. Link to comment
FireCorals Posted February 16, 2012 Author Share Posted February 16, 2012 Full Tank shot with light, loving it. Picture shows it really blue and pics up the red a lot more than reality, but it's more of a crisp white with the hint of blue. I have it about 10-11" from the water line. I am going to post PAR ratings later this week and I can't wait to get some corals in here! Link to comment
saltfishD Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 nice looks good always wondered about using hang on the back power filters and saltwater setups always thought a sump was required... Link to comment
bulldogpet Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Looking good ! Where did you get the Par38 from ? Link to comment
Baker Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 You have a Meter to measure PAR? also, whats the K temp of that light? looks to be around 14k or higher. When i think of PAR i think of intensity. Looks good, i like how clean it looks! Link to comment
748S911 Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 nice set up....looking foward to your progress, just ordered my Mr. Aqua from Marinedepot today!!! Link to comment
FireCorals Posted February 16, 2012 Author Share Posted February 16, 2012 Thank you everyone for the nice comments! Bulldogpet: We will be sponsors here really soon taking pre orders, if interested you can PM, different color variations are available and we will take custom orders.. LEDTRiC is our company name, you will see our banners soon . Baker: I'd say a bit more than 14k, the 460nm blues are really nice and balanced with the 660nm red and the 6500k whites. I have a PAR meter, but it has been acting up, might have to order a new sensor. On another note, just got some new goodies Will take more pics when they are fully open. nice looks good always wondered about using hang on the back power filters and saltwater setups always thought a sump was required...

Scorched Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Stock list:Helfrichi Firefish Cant wait to see him. Such an amazing fish. I was thinking about getting one myself but me wanting to have a true rimless open top tank kinda puts the kibosh on that. Your screen will contain it nicely though Link to comment
FireCorals Posted February 16, 2012 Author Share Posted February 16, 2012 Thank you Jrmiller, it's coming along Scorched, I will be ordering one in a couple weeks, going to give it a while. On that note, here is the screen installed Dragon Eyes Bam Bams Valentines Day Massacre Sorry for the low quality pics, I will get better at this some day, lol. Link to comment
Baker Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Wow, super nice! I love the grid on top. You think that light would be ok with say more light needy corals such as SPS? Link to comment
castiel Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 LEDTRIC™ Par38 Tri-color 18.5w Lamp came in yesterday, looks great, going to install soon and take some pictures over the tank. Isn't that an LED Wholesalers Par 38 lamp? Link to comment
Manaz101 Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Looks awesome! Love to see small, clean looking tanks Hope to follow this thread for a long time to come.....subscribed! Link to comment
FireCorals Posted February 16, 2012 Author Share Posted February 16, 2012 Baker, thanks! Time will tell on SPS, I prefer not to comment on that til I have official PAR ratings, but I believe it will be more than enough. Castiel, no, not at all. Not sure why you would assume that considering the specs posted are nothing like LEDwholesalers. Their lamp is 12w, ours is 18.5w and our color combination is red, blue and white, while they are just red and blue. If you are referring to the fact that the shells look the same, lol, almost all do unless they are black cases ( which we will be offering, this is just a prototype ). Manaz, thank you! Ordered some more Zoa's and some equipment. Link to comment
Jacob042426 Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Are the zoas you have the ones from the craigslist guy? Link to comment
pheallox Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 How much was the bulb and are you a vendor? Link to comment
FireCorals Posted February 16, 2012 Author Share Posted February 16, 2012 Are the zoas you have the ones from the craigslist guy? Yes sir, but it's more like, Craigslist girl, lol. It is I believe her and her husband, very nice people. Definitely recommend going and checking them out. They have $15 frags to $200 per polyp pieces, some ridiculous zoas and chalices.

Jacob042426 Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 It's on my Togo list! Link to comment
FireCorals Posted February 16, 2012 Author Share Posted February 16, 2012 How much was the bulb and are you a vendor? Yes, we will be sponsors here on Nano-Reef in the next coming days as well as be releasing other color combinations and fixtures in the near future. This particular lamp will be going for $99.. If you have any more questions or concerns, please feel free to PM me. I would like to wait til we are official sponsors before taking anymore questions publicly out of respect for current sponsors and Christopher Marks. Let's try to keep this about my build Link to comment
Baker Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 I hope it works out for ya I am still debating on what kinda tank to build. I seen this freaking awesome looking tank online the other day, it was a Non-photosynthesis coral Build. See link Click Here Freaking awesome! I am so jealous of this tank.. absolutely beautiful Link to comment
