Gramophone Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 Such an awesome stand! The tank is pretty awesome too Quote Link to comment
Justind823 Posted March 23, 2014 Author Share Posted March 23, 2014 Thanks guys! There's still some work to be done. Need to clean up the inside and get some sand in the tank. The quake forced me to start working on it so thanks nature...kinda. It's coming along! Quote Link to comment
Justind823 Posted March 24, 2014 Author Share Posted March 24, 2014 Made a little more progress this past weekend. Hooked up RKL and made a mount for it. I still need to clean up the wires a bit and get the ato going. https://www.flickr.com/photos/98067070@N03/13387751055/'> https://www.flickr.com/photos/98067070@N03/13387751055/'>IMG_4598 by https://www.flickr.com/people/98067070@N03/'>Justind823, on Flickr https://www.flickr.com/photos/98067070@N03/13388087544/'> https://www.flickr.com/photos/98067070@N03/13388087544/'>IMG_4600 by https://www.flickr.com/people/98067070@N03/'>Justind823, on Flickr 3 Quote Link to comment
JR! Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 what you gonna do for filtration? ac70 with surface skimmer? Quote Link to comment
Justind823 Posted March 24, 2014 Author Share Posted March 24, 2014 what you gonna do for filtration? ac70 with surface skimmer? Probably going to make something like the subcurrent filter I had for my Mini S, just one that fits the dimensions of my tank better and can fit a large heater. Hopefully I'll get to it tomorrow.

Justind823 Posted March 26, 2014 Author Share Posted March 26, 2014 That's exactly how I feel right now, oh, I'm getting both drygoods and livestock in the mail I've decided to go a different direction with the filtration. Should be fun to try out anyway. If I hate it I can always go back to the subcurrent idea. Stay tuned! Quote Link to comment
Justind823 Posted April 3, 2014 Author Share Posted April 3, 2014 Still a work in progress. I got some ric's in the mail, that's why there is a tupperware in the tank. Helping the little guys attach to the rock. I finished working on something for the tank, hopefully I can get it all sorted and installed tomorrow. https://www.flickr.com/photos/98067070@N03/13610777323/'> https://www.flickr.com/photos/98067070@N03/13610777323/'>IMG_4607 by https://www.flickr.com/people/98067070@N03/'>Justind823, on Flickr https://www.flickr.com/photos/98067070@N03/13610764583/'> https://www.flickr.com/photos/98067070@N03/13610764583/'>IMG_4608 by https://www.flickr.com/people/98067070@N03/'>Justind823, on Flickr 5 Quote Link to comment

JR! Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 can we get some info on the light setup? have been a fan of it for a while now 1 Quote Link to comment
Justind823 Posted April 25, 2014 Author Share Posted April 25, 2014 can we get some info on the light setup? have been a fan of it for a while now Ah the light...it's a tiny unibody heatsink (4"x8" I believe) that I got when nanocustoms was clearing stuff out. 4x4 RB and CW Cree's with 2 OCW's from ledgroupbuy. Powered by the dimmable duo700 and a separate dimmable driver for the ocw's. I've been meaning to add a moonlight for awhile but I'm mostly too lazy to run the wire through the light tree. Also, I can't decide what to use for a moonlight... Quote Link to comment
Justind823 Posted April 25, 2014 Author Share Posted April 25, 2014 I picked up springeri damsel for the tank. It was just so cheap and an amazing looking fish! Since I have a flatworm problem hopefully it'll take care of the issue. While I was at it I grabbed a fiji yellow leather and a pom pom crab. The tank is running well on the new filtration system. I've been using Nualgi for the past 3 weeks and I'm noticing my smalls patches of algae turn white. I figured it was worth a try for a free sample and it seems to be paying off. No pictures yet. Going out of town this weekend so hopefully I'll get some up when I come back. 1 Quote Link to comment

Rehype Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 Beautiful fish justin...although they get pretty aggressive once settled in. Quote Link to comment
Justind823 Posted April 29, 2014 Author Share Posted April 29, 2014 Beautiful fish justin...although they get pretty aggressive once settled in. I've heard that. I've decided it's going to be the only fish in the tank though. Do you know if these fish ever show any aggression towards invertebrates? Quote Link to comment
