Drunken Master Posted July 11, 2012 Share Posted July 11, 2012 Current FTS: I been on this site before under a different username (dont remember). I been having nano reef withdrawals for a year or so after leaving the hobby temporarily. I thought a freshwater planted tank would hold me over but who was i kidding nano reef>>>>planted tank!! Don't have any set plans for this tank yet but I am leaning towards a green banded goby (maybe a pair of them, but that might be pushing it) and definitely putting some sps in the tank acros,montis and so on. Equipment: GLA 36-L BoostLED Par30- 2rb 1b 1cw 1ww Current USA internal nano surface skimmer filter hydor theo heater digital timer light strip Stuff coming in the mail this sometime this week: po4 test alk test chemipure 35ppt refractometer calibration liquid coral dip To buy list: Tunze Nano Osmolator*** When its released sometime this fall better heater quieter return pump that fits in subcurrent filter Link to comment

JR! Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 i looked at the 36L the other day and i its really growing on me. i wanna start one bad. Link to comment
Drunken Master Posted July 18, 2012 Author Share Posted July 18, 2012 i looked at the 36L the other day and i its really growing on me. i wanna start one bad. I say go for the ADA mini m. I dealt with 3 ada tanks and 1 do!aqua one and can honestly say the quality of the ada and do!aqua tanks are far superior than any of the imitation tanks that companies like mr.aqua or GLA put out. I only went with GLA because i had store credit otherwise it would of been ADA. Link to comment

Drunken Master Posted July 18, 2012 Author Share Posted July 18, 2012 So apparently the container company thought it would be cool if they sent me one cap instead of 2 for my 5 gallon containers. So for right now I only have one container for my ro/di water. I was going to use this for ato but it has a small nub on the bottom which makes it rock back and forth so thinking about returning that. Does anyone know a company that does custom acrylic work? I want to get a ato reservoir made. Anyways refractometer doesnt get here till tomorrow i think so for the meantime this thing stays dry. Link to comment
JR! Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 yep pm me how large of a container you need and if there is anything special that you need to be done to it. Link to comment
Drunken Master Posted July 19, 2012 Author Share Posted July 19, 2012 Got the tank going today. Still no filter, waiting on another member to ship the filter. Saw this little guy at the store. Cant wait to be cycled so I can get one Went home mixed some salt and started working on my layout. looks cooler in person cave for future goby Link to comment
Drunken Master Posted July 22, 2012 Author Share Posted July 22, 2012 Received filter today and placed an order on a few more things like Kh and po4 test, chemipure elite. Heater i have is complete garbage. Anybody have experience with the finnex titanium heaters? I need something that will keep 79*-81* all day with out a problem. Test results from this morning. What you guys think? I dont really know what to make of my ammonia result. It looks like it could be 0 but maybe not. I just setup this tank earlier this week, it seem too fast for the cycle to be coming to an end. On another note, i attended a frag swap and came out with 6 different frags. LFS is kind enough to hold on to them for me while my tank cycles. I picked up radioactive green zoas, eagle eyes, miami hurricane chalice, green monti, Green Pocillopora Damicornis, Green Hydnophora Heres a pic of the miami hurricane frag Link to comment
Drunken Master Posted August 3, 2012 Author Share Posted August 3, 2012 Had to move in the corals early. Corals seem to be doing pretty good. Diatom looks like its dying out and GHA is slowly taking its place. Link to comment

Drunken Master Posted August 3, 2012 Author Share Posted August 3, 2012 niccee, i really want a rimless tank now. shallow to be excact. Thanks. Yea im thinking about getting a picO aquarium tank when they come back. I like shallow tanks especially with a built in sump so I can hide all the equipment. Link to comment
