xcom Posted November 30, 2013 Author Share Posted November 30, 2013 Sorry that it looks like a mess, but here are some pics of the Tide unit! I still need to clean up and find a better way to hang this light. http://s547.photobucket.com/user/minhng/media/photo1_zps3f97a6fa.jpg.html'> http://s547.photobucket.com/user/minhng/media/photo2_zps48b0a837.jpg.html'> http://s547.photobucket.com/user/minhng/media/photo3_zps40bd4178.jpg.html'> 1 Quote Link to comment
Illuiix Posted November 30, 2013 Share Posted November 30, 2013 Can't you cut off all the excess of wires from the hanging kit? Light looks great btw. Quote Link to comment
xcom Posted December 2, 2013 Author Share Posted December 2, 2013 Can't you cut off all the excess of wires from the hanging kit? Light looks great btw. Eventually, yes... Temporarily, I will have it like this until I finish the custom arm for it. I scrapped out the bottom base idea because it is getting pricey, so I got a metal leg unit to attach it to the cabinet. It turned out to be quite alright. Next thing is to find some killer door knobs! http://s547.photobucket.com/user/minhng/media/photo-2_zpsb134b7e0.jpg.html'> Total spent: $176 (before tax) 5 Quote Link to comment

xcom Posted December 9, 2013 Author Share Posted December 9, 2013 I'm debating between the Eheim 2211 (60gph) or 2213 (115gph)..... The 2211 will fit nicely in the stand but the 2213 might need some creative arrangement..... Any advice out there? is 60 g/hour flow rate is enough for this tank or is it way too low???

Go with eheim 2211....2213 is too strong for your little tank lol. Quote Link to comment
xcom Posted December 9, 2013 Author Share Posted December 9, 2013 Go with eheim 2211....2213 is too strong for your little tank lol. The 2211 is only capable of 60gph. My current HOB Aquaclear is pushing 150 gph so I don't know if the 2211 will be too weak, especially I will have like 3-4ft of tubing going up to the tank. Quote Link to comment
Illuiix Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 I still think 2213 is too strong... You're using poppy pipes or lily pipes?? If poppy then it should be fine. Quote Link to comment

xcom Posted January 15, 2014 Author Share Posted January 15, 2014 Whoops, been super busy since last time I checked in on my thread. Everything is looking nice. I love the Nano Box Tide unit. I accidentally turned it on too strong all my grandis polyps turned browned, but they are recovering nicely! I swapped out the HOB filter with an Eheim filter and lily pipes. Oh and: Ricordea are moving back in!!!!!! Anyone (LA locals) who interested in taking some of them off my hands????? Pics are coming up Anything? -Dave I wasn't sure if you sent out another controller. 1 Quote Link to comment

Oh I only have around 10-11 that are not in this tank right now. I'm going to slowly move them in, but I think I don't have that much space as I would like. I will keep you posted! wow! So clean. You've done a great job with this tank. Thanks! Yours looks just as good!!! Oh no, just found out that Aquascapers/Coral Morphologic will be no longer offer ricordea after this month..... How sad! 1 Quote Link to comment
