SDartifex Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 still kinda up in the air on it. i think the jbj ato might go on this build. You think your gonna get a controller for this tank? I got a little project goin with my apex that's using really small sensors to run an ATO and a return kill switch that you might wanna know about if you are. Link to comment

SDartifex Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 thats what i have heard from some people. sd has some so im gonna keep an eye on how his do. I had some, one jumped and the other two are now in a safely covered nps tank of a local club member.. I couldn't find a good way to cover the area around the mame so I decided it would be best to find a more suitable home for them. Honestly though they thrived in the tank, the key to success I believe is first to get your LFS to bring them in (mine got them from quality marine) so you dont have to eat the DOA's (there dietary requirments mean shipping is really rough on them) and second is they need at least 4 small feedings a day. I was using 2ml of a mix of R.O.E., cyclopeeze, nutramar ova, and my own flavor of pappone among other things for filter feeders and they loved it. After that its all gravy i was gonna use the rkl that i have on the manta but that has me interested I'll PM you with some preliminary details. Link to comment

kveekx Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 Man this build is looking great! Link to comment
ccapasso Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 Things are looking good. You might want to check out Saltycritters for some Live Rock. They usually have a pretty good selection. Its been a while since I've been but last time they had good stuff. That, or you know the usual place. Link to comment
DaveFason Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 Looking awesome J! Really looking forward to posting this one on FB. As well, have you looked into low light/deep water sps? I think this tank would be insane with it. As for the red dots, look at blue eyes cardinals. Better living rate with those. The red eyes are awesome but require a stupid amount of food. Hope this helps! How's the other tank? Link to comment
brad908 Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 Liverock from tbsaltwater is supposed to be awesome Link to comment
