eklikewhoa Posted December 10, 2012 Author Share Posted December 10, 2012 I will post a pic when the basket is finished. Why are you selling the lights? Was it a bit too much light or did you not like the stunners? sounds good! the stunners were bulky when I got all the colors I wanted or obtain the color that was pleasing. I just looked around,and it seems you have an awful lot of money tied up in stunner strips. You probably could have had a custom led fixture built for that kind of money. not trying to flame,your tank looks great,and if you have a line on cheap stunners please share I understand completely but the cost of the stunners to me were much cheaper than any custom or reef ready light I could find. I got a crackhead deal on them but it was a one time deal. Link to comment
x3thelast Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 what lighting are you going with next? might be interested in a stunner strip... Link to comment
AJK Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 I'm thinking about going with a panorama pro instead of the stunners. I would go with the 12000k/445nm 16w with reflector. What kinds of coral do you think I would be able to do? Link to comment

I only want to use one strip, would that be enough? I can't deceide if I want to do sps or not. What could I do with 1strip? Link to comment

AJK Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 I just ordered a panorama pro 12000k/445nm with reflector and dimmer, a mini-jet 606, and a spin stream return nozzle. Link to comment
eklikewhoa Posted December 11, 2012 Author Share Posted December 11, 2012 Here's a little update... nothing spectacular till this weekend but just to keep it going. Ignore the test material on the paper itself, was at the in-laws and the bro in-law just picked up a specV so I took the opportunity to template the overflow wall to build a full length surface skimmer plate/lower inlet block-off. "X" to remind myself of the side facing the wall, black dot for the hole for the second return pump. Here's the new pump for the second output (replacing the eheim mini pump cause I prefer them to be matching [OCD] and it's 3gph stronger. Link to comment
x3thelast Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 sounds like a good plan bro. Plenty of flow going on in there! Link to comment
Chew_Magna Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 Is that a stock pump for the tank? My 2g spec came with one branded 'Dolphin' Link to comment
Ickey09 Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 Wondering the exact samething. Link to comment
eklikewhoa Posted December 11, 2012 Author Share Posted December 11, 2012 Its the stock pump for the fluval spec V, might the same pump for a lot of others as well, all made in china. Mines labeled Fluval, 83gph. Link to comment
Chew_Magna Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 Here's the one that came with my spec. Dolphin, no gph rating. It's what I'm using in the betta hex tank. Link to comment
eklikewhoa Posted December 12, 2012 Author Share Posted December 12, 2012 Hmmm, I've already installed it and zooming in on my picture it's hard to read but it all looks the same other than the wattage, I can make out 3.something on the Hagen branded pump. Link to comment
eklikewhoa Posted December 12, 2012 Author Share Posted December 12, 2012 Tried to get a good picture of it but here's the acrylic plate in place to block off the lower intake slit and add the true surface skim function of the overflow. Link to comment
Chew_Magna Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 That's how I run mine except that I use the stock sponge to physically hold the acrylic in place, and I plugged the bottom hole with coral putty. Link to comment

I have part of the stock spong in mine... I have the bottom layered with the stock sponge / pump with return nozzle / top of sponge / bonded filter pad. Link to comment
eklikewhoa Posted December 13, 2012 Author Share Posted December 13, 2012 tiny update... took delivery of the TwoLittleFishies NanoMag today and will say that initial thoughts were negative and doubtful but it does the job quite well. Link to comment
Speaker73 Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 tiny update... took delivery of the TwoLittleFishies NanoMag today and will say that initial thoughts were negative and doubtful but it does the job quite well. I had one of those before and was not impressed. I prefer the nimble nano. Much stronger imho and more maneuverable in my 2 gallon spec. Link to comment
