ninjamyst Posted September 2, 2015 Author Share Posted September 2, 2015 WOW! Reefer 350 with that new kessil is going to be insane! Live rock or dry rock? Dry, I hate pests...even bristle worms. Will go ReefCleaner dry rock. Minimum scape. 2-3 islands in the middle leaving plenty of sandbed at the two ends and swimming alleys between the islands. Link to comment
ninjamyst Posted September 2, 2015 Author Share Posted September 2, 2015 Was doing some measurement for a sofa for the new house. My wife was like "you need a really big tank or the sofa gonna dwarf your tank. 48 inches isn't that big." Then I told her that 48" tank is almost 2k already. She walked away. Link to comment

My first choice was 70g Artisan II until I saw the Red Sea Reefers. Link to comment

gena Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 just picked up a nice 6 inch across red monti cap for $15 =). no idea to mount it...hope it holds its color for 2 more months just lying on the sandbedNice size!!!! It will be fine . I had frags of monticap on my sandbed. Link to comment
ninjamyst Posted September 3, 2015 Author Share Posted September 3, 2015 This guy is breaking down his tank and he's selling EVERYTHING for $180 TOTAL. Yes, all the live rocks and corals below for $180. I took anything that's not attached to the rock. You can see the monti cap below. It's HUGE. Also got 3 frags of 15-20 polyps of bright colored zoas for $10 each. and 15 heads of teal trumpet for $15. I want those blastos in the middle so bad...but it's all encrusted on the rock. The picture below does not do this tank justice. I wish I have my big tank now, I will buy it all. Link to comment
yoshii Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 Omgsh that house!! It's gorgeous! Congrats!I agree with everyone else, you need a BIG tank to fill up that wall space! The new Red Sea tanks seem to be more customizable Link to comment
FlowerMama Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 Nice price for sure. I'm gonna try sell my 4" monticap for $50 at my local reef mtg in another week, knowing they can frag it up and sell. Hopefully I get an offer. Link to comment
ninjamyst Posted September 4, 2015 Author Share Posted September 4, 2015 Nice price for sure. I'm gonna try sell my 4" monticap for $50 at my local reef mtg in another week, knowing they can frag it up and sell. Hopefully I get an offer. That's really cool your local reef club do meet ups. So a bit of trouble with the house. The appraisal came in lower than the selling price and the lawyers been going back and forth on some mumble jumble blah with the contract. I guess it's all part of the process... To cheer myself up, here's my another picture of the kitchen =) Omgsh that house!! It's gorgeous! Congrats! I agree with everyone else, you need a BIG tank to fill up that wall space! The new Red Sea tanks seem to be more customizable Thanks and congrats on your TOTM again! Link to comment
FlowerMama Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 Good Lord, those ceilings! They're gorgeous. It'll work out, just let it do it's thing. You looked hard for a house, this one is still your reward. What an enormous kitchen. Link to comment
Cameron6796 Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 i want a pic of the outside. that kitchen is amazing whoever decorated it and staged it did a great job Link to comment
teenyreef Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 Wow, it looks really nice. Again. More. Don't worry too much about the appraisal. That creates much more pressure on the seller than the buyer. It will work out. Link to comment
4x5 Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 Congrats on the new home. It's beautiful and looking forward to the new tank, that reefer series looks great. Link to comment
Learn It Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 nice house and cant wait to see the new tank! Link to comment
ninjamyst Posted September 4, 2015 Author Share Posted September 4, 2015 Thanks everyone! i want a pic of the outside. that kitchen is amazing whoever decorated it and staged it did a great job I posted one a few pages back but here's another one =P. There's a yard in the back too. Means I actually have to mow the lawn and shovel snow soon...Condo living does have its perks. haha. Link to comment
yoshii Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 Hope all the confusing legal stuff works out But like what teeny said, I think the seller is the one who might have any troublesTHAT KITCHEN I just noticed the tiled brick wall, what a beautiful kitchen! Link to comment
Kijho Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 The plans for the tank are sounding incredible dude, can't wait to see that... also best choice you'll ever make on starting with dry rock. The one and only thing I'll forever regret Looks so much cleaner and you can control it so much more. Cover it in coraline, hah! Also again house is beautiful Link to comment
ninjamyst Posted September 5, 2015 Author Share Posted September 5, 2015 any recommendation for a protein skimmer for 75 gallons tank??? sooo many choices out there. hoping to score something during labor day sale. Link to comment
ninjamyst Posted September 6, 2015 Author Share Posted September 6, 2015 Spent all day researching stuff to buy for new build. And all I got was 4 boxes of Reef Crystal 200 gallons for $40 a box. Oh well, some pics of the tank: Frag city... Plate Buddies New zoas New monti...really worried the color is already fading a little New digi Link to comment
