TheKingInYellow Posted May 30, 2012 Author Share Posted May 30, 2012 My wife wanted something in the kitchen besides a Betta. Not sure what 4 1W LEDs will support coral wise, but I might just go with some low light softies, shrimp and that's about it. Maybe a tiny goby like a Trimma. Link to comment

TheKingInYellow Posted May 31, 2012 Author Share Posted May 31, 2012 Maybe, dunno. Doubt I will get water in the 3g before July either Link to comment
TheKingInYellow Posted June 5, 2012 Author Share Posted June 5, 2012 Things are slooooowly starting to move. My RO unit is on the way, as is my light stand so I had best get started on building my tank stand and RO/mixing station. If only Diablo 3 was not eating up so much of my spare time Link to comment

TheKingInYellow Posted June 29, 2012 Author Share Posted June 29, 2012 Yup, it's sitting at a depot in Pembina, ND right now, that's where I'm picking it up from. Link to comment
Deleted User 4 Posted June 29, 2012 Share Posted June 29, 2012 Ohh mann, you're heading over the border and taking a day off to pick up the tank??!!?? Wow that's alot of work ahah. Looking forward to it. Did you get or make a stand for it yet? Link to comment
TheKingInYellow Posted June 30, 2012 Author Share Posted June 30, 2012 The stand isn't done but I'm out of province for two weeks starting next weekend so it's going to be end of July like I originally thought. Also I learned that I should really check on my passport before making plans to cross the border. I totally forgot that they expire I was lucky June is good until November so the tank, ATO, skimmer and MP10 are all here. I'm back on July 20th and will get going on the build that weekend. In the meantime I'm soaking my Marco rocks, and setting up a permanent home for my BRS RO/DI unit. Link to comment
TheKingInYellow Posted August 9, 2012 Author Share Posted August 9, 2012 *cough* updates? Soldering up the light this weekend. I am slow as poop! Link to comment
TheKingInYellow Posted March 16, 2015 Author Share Posted March 16, 2015 Really slow. Tank is sitting in the basement and I've got a 3g pico running. Just needs a light and I'm not feeling the DIY. Maybe I can win that NanoBox that Dave is giving away! Link to comment
TheKingInYellow Posted March 17, 2015 Author Share Posted March 17, 2015 So I'm thinking I'll take a chance on the AI Prime. 18" x 18" should be perfect for it, and no real extra cost besides the light... Link to comment
TheKingInYellow Posted March 18, 2015 Author Share Posted March 18, 2015 So I did a quick evaluation of the gear I set aside for this tank. I still have: PicO DB18 - All Starphire w/ Starphire cover PicO Skim (OG v1.0) Apex Controller w/ Temp Probe, pH Probe, EB8, Display Module Apex Lunar Simulator Module EcoTech MP10wES (old white case version) Eheim 100w Heater DIY LED fixture - mid construction and I have no idea what the hell I am doing with it Tunze Osmolator (w/ big tub o' Kalk) BRS 5-Stage RO/DI unit w/ 2 x 20g Brute Tubs ~25lbs of Marco Rock Big 'ol tub of Seachem Reefsalt (checked, still nice and granular and using it in my 3g) Stand is already built So really, I just need to sort out the lighting. I have the Apex w/ integrated VDM stuff so maybe a Kessil A160? Still like the pricepoint and features of the AI Prime too. Outside that, set up my SW mixing station and go to town. I'd even venture to say it's a pretty kickass tank. The temptation now is to just scrap the tank and skimmer and go bigger and sumped :/ Link to comment
TheKingInYellow Posted March 19, 2015 Author Share Posted March 19, 2015 Adding a Tunze 9001 skimmer to my light order, it should fit in the first chamber of the PicO sump. I worry about the magnets though, the sump has 1/4" glass plus the 1/8-1/4" of plastic that makes up the wall of the sump itself. If the Tunze had a clip it could hang on and I wouldn't be concerned. Might have to give it a shot and hope for the best, or jury rig another solution if it doesn't work. I'll have the same issue with the Osmolator sensor, but that doesn't carry any sort of weight on the magnet so I'm not as concerned. A dry test of the Osmolator magnet seemed to work fine at least.
