jarob Posted May 31, 2013 Author Share Posted May 31, 2013 Thanks guys! It was actually a lot of fun to make, my first one! Link to comment
jarob Posted June 1, 2013 Author Share Posted June 1, 2013 Well the RBTA decided to let go today and got sucked into the Tunze RIGHT before I had to leave for an interview... Luckily I was in the room when it happened and stopped the pump quick, added a ton of carbon, made some salt water, went to an interview for a volunteer position at the local Aquarium working with the penguins, stopped and got some polyfilter, and came home and did a WC. Everything looks ok! Link to comment
BattleAthletics Posted June 10, 2013 Share Posted June 10, 2013 Started ZEOvit nano today! Anyone have any experience with this? Whats your regimen on this? Link to comment
jarob Posted July 6, 2013 Author Share Posted July 6, 2013 I had a pretty bad algae outbreak, so I quit the ZEO, added a UV and started using GFO again. I also changed out my RO filters and started using Kalk for the first time today in my ATO. I also nuked my tank twice for red bugs about a month ago, they made it through a bayer and coralRX dip... I set up another tank about a month ago also to keep me busy so I can let this one grow without messing with it. The other tank is a 12" deep blue cube. Its a work in progress but I plan on setting it up as a macro / softie tank with a goby/pistol pair. Currently I'm running a HOB filter, koralia nano, 3.5" sand bed, and a few macros, gorg., rics, tyree toadstool, few zoas, and I'm waiting on my par30 to arrive in the mail. Here are some crappy iPhone pics. Thats all for now, until I pull out an actual camera.. Thanks! Two quick pics of my other babies. Posing for a quick pic and she is watching her favorite tv show Link to comment
NicoS Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 It's a beautiful tank. Too bad about the algae bloom, boy zeovite is touchy stuff. What did you nuke the tank with to eliminate the RP? Silly kitties. Link to comment

1.0reef Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 Very nice tank! And a wonderfully executed scape! Link to comment
Polarcollision Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 I love the way your rock scape hangs out over empty space. That's going to look great grown over with coral. I think I tried to find shapes in clouds too much cause from this angle all I can see is a monster with spread arms trying to scare that little island! :-) Link to comment
BattleAthletics Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 Jarob when are you coming back to corpus? Bring your tank while your at it and just forget it here, k, thanks. Link to comment

jarob Posted July 21, 2013 Author Share Posted July 21, 2013 More iPhone pics.. I feel like the colors of my corals just keep getting better and better, and with the use of GFO and new ro/di filters the algae is going away slowly. The kalk "seems" to be helping my sps grow too.. http://s369.photobucket.com/user/Jarobs/media/3D849DD4-FF5B-4CC8-AADA-AA0F9047853D-12918-00000F782303B7CC_zps35339230.jpg.html][/url] http://s369.photobucket.com/user/Jarobs/media/ACC200BF-0659-4AE8-ABFD-4D1C5739DF52-12918-00000F78365BF886_zps1aef833c.jpg.html][/url] http://s369.photobucket.com/user/Jarobs/media/B02745B2-17C1-4883-A2EB-664176C50B71-12918-00000F784F7F6BB1_zps4322b05e.jpg.html][/url] http://s369.photobucket.com/user/Jarobs/media/0E4BCB6D-2DFD-4174-9150-8047F9C3A7F1-12918-00000F78F7BAF6A8_zps687eb951.jpg.html][/url] My other hobbies, training and my company: http://s369.photobucket.com/user/Jarobs/media/386D810D-FCAB-46CE-8D3E-7BC5A1A14FAF-12918-00000F7870C0D4D6_zps62ebdcb6.jpg.html][/url] http://s369.photobucket.com/user/Jarobs/media/4A51E3D0-5488-4680-9D28-0B70B4E58C2C-12918-00000F790C66CBF9_zps7e2d0e58.jpg.html][/url] and of course what would this be without a kitty shot http://s369.photobucket.com/user/Jarobs/media/8C68CED6-984C-4655-96FC-048B8D1ADB9A-12918-00000F788A2AD55A_zpseb0e05cd.jpg.html][/url] Link to comment

th64 Posted July 21, 2013 Share Posted July 21, 2013 Looking good.. hey can you share how you made that light hanger? Looks like conduit except you have it attached to the wall instead of the stand? If you can tell me the parts you got that would be great lol Link to comment

Looks like conduit except you have it attached to the wall instead of the stand? If you can tell me the parts you got that would be great lol Yea very simple! 3/4 conduit, one elbow, two wall mount "U"'s to attach it to the wall, and then I don't even know what pieces I used to hold the actual light lol. Just snapped a few pics of the macro tank, its a mess and needs to be rearranged and cleaned so pardon the algae. http://s369.photobucket.com/user/Jarobs/media/058C1E8E-2508-4357-A005-11245E512F33-13659-000010BA373DA7C9_zps31e44c05.jpg.html'> http://s369.photobucket.com/user/Jarobs/media/4776E450-2027-4C51-B1A3-8579FBC8924E-13659-000010B9F47BACD0_zps33a0e9ec.jpg.html'> http://s369.photobucket.com/user/Jarobs/media/0642CDB8-8D6D-407C-981B-171FA181F105-13659-000010BA417A15B1_zpsd18ac3f5.jpg.html'> Link to comment
