Rehype Posted February 2, 2013 Author Share Posted February 2, 2013 Man, my last one got interrupted due to a marriage and purchasing a house. Now that I am in a home I am in the middle of planning a larger rimless build for my study but will be a little while. After seeing this, I think I will scratch the itch with maybe doing a smaller nano at work for my desk! Still trying to decide between going canister or small sump so I can have a skimmer. What's your vote? Well congrats on the new wife and home! Its always great to do a small build when your in a transition.In regards to the sump or canister It depends on the size of the tank and what you plan on stocking it with. What did you have in mind? He was out of the game for like a week. He needs to prove himself, his skills, his photography techniques. He's rusty, like a goby. Dang none of those excuses work for this man. What did I say about this guy in my TOTM profile? It's Eugene. this tank is a masterpiece in the making because he is behind it. There are very few with his knowledge and the grace to share that knowledge. That's what makes him somebody I admire. I'm a ReHype cult follower. I need a badge or something. I still want people to paypal me for joining his fan base. IIX you're in arrears honey. Aww thanks kat I really appreciate it. Im just another reefer thats continually learning but thanks so much for the bode of confidence Lolol I agree! Thanks bud. 1 Link to comment

Thanks alot klein i appreciate it You better submit that to National Geographic. Just say you took it in the Caribbean Ha!Nah its not that good. lol hype u actually should! U never fail to amaze with your camera skills! Holy crap...how r u so good? I mean u could literally "go pro" haha Oh and btw we've seen the chalk bass and the jawfish...I think we're still missing a fish Thanks alot man it takes patience and practice but ive pretty much gotten the hang of it. Nat geo receives thousands of photos and my pics pale in comparison to whats submitted on a daily basis. I havent been able to get any shots of the rustys.. they hide deep in the macroalgae or under the live rock. They are extremely shy as well.Ill keep at it until I get a shot though. Link to comment
Kfmmartin19 Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Hey Hype I know this is kinda an opinion question but I would love to hear yours. For a 30 gallon tank with dims: 24"x24"x12" (so pretty shallow) if I wanted to go th mh route and be capable of keeping SPS anywhere in the tank would u recommend a 150w mh with like some t5 and/or LED supplement or just a 250w? Also, do u think I'd need a chiller if it is in a room that's usually around 73-74 degrees? Thanks Hype! Link to comment

I doubt anyone would pay for one though..lol Hey Hype I know this is kinda an opinion question but I would love to hear yours.

Also, do u think I'd need a chiller if it is in a room that's usually around 73-74 degrees? Thanks Hype! Personally id go with the 150w mh with T5/led supplement. You probably will need a chiller in the summer months. Keep in mind that your fixture will give off quite a bit of heat not to mention the additional heat from equipment(return pump, skimmer pump, reactor pump etc..) HTH Link to comment

I am thinking 45p with maybe a couple of sps, lps, acans and zoas. Link to comment
Psychosis Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Some how, watching your tanks fill to glorious proportion in the span of a month is...unsettling. Like racing a Fiat at a stop light and losing. Thought you where billy bad ass, and you lost to a Fiat. No one word describes the sensation. Looks great though, love me some jawfish. 1 Link to comment
Rehype Posted February 2, 2013 Author Share Posted February 2, 2013 Thanks E! I am a lucky man. I am thinking 45p with maybe a couple of sps, lps, acans and zoas. Sounds like an awesome plan...really glad ADA brought back the 45p. Some how, watching your tanks fill to glorious proportion in the span of a month is...unsettling. Like racing a Fiat at a stop light and losing. Thought you where billy bad ass, and you lost to a Fiat. No one word describes the sensation. Looks great though, love me some jawfish. I can see how it could appear that way...But in actuality the live rock/water were actually cycling separately for about 2 months.And the macroalgae was added to the tank about 3 weeks prior to adding the coral and fish. 1 Link to comment
Psychosis Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 Even so, much cooler than my year old system that I can't photograph worth a damn. You're the man, I can admit that. Link to comment
Rehype Posted February 2, 2013 Author Share Posted February 2, 2013 Even so, much cooler than my year old system that I can't photograph worth a damn. Your tank looks great its just those leds make it super hard to photograph the tanks natural beauty. Link to comment
Psychosis Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 I appreciate that. To be clear though, I'm not saying my tank absolutely sucks, yours is just that cool. You really do have an eye for scapes and textures I haven't seen another tank compare to, and I've seen really impressive stuff. Link to comment
