opaquelace Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 I'm just going to say this. My tank looks like some serious stone age doodoo on a stick compared to the set up you have. And yours doesn't even have coral in it. WTH. 1 Quote Link to comment

And yours doesn't even have coral in it. WTH.＼(◎o◎)／ Nonsense! Your tank is wonderful! Don't trust my pictures they are all photoshopped. They aren't even real, there is no build, I drew all the photos with mspaint. I run Sicces. So silent, love them! And holy crap... I wouldn't even know how to properly organize the equipment you have. Wonder what your room looks like... I've been getting the same feedback on maast(South Texas Reef Forum), I'm going to seriously look into one. 2 Quote Link to comment
glennr1978 Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 Look into Laguna pumps, BA. They get great reviews and are extremely quiet. I just got the biggest one they make (4200gph) and that thing is basically silent. 2 Quote Link to comment
BattleAthletics Posted March 6, 2014 Author Share Posted March 6, 2014 Pond pumps? 2 Quote Link to comment
Chris! Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 Lol. I'm looking forward to seeing this with all kinds of goodies in it. I thought this was supposed to be a family site, now we get to see wet boxes with goodies inside.... I like this place more and more everyday Look into Laguna pumps, BA. They get great reviews and are extremely quiet. I just got the biggest one they make (4200gph) and that thing is basically silent. Pretty sure that is the company that makes/owns Quiet One pumps as well... which mine is pretty dang quiet lol Quote Link to comment
BattleAthletics Posted March 8, 2014 Author Share Posted March 8, 2014 Rock work broke while I was taking it out of the rodi bath. Nothing epoxy can't fix! Front FTS Is that a face I see? Took our the mag 7 and put a Lifegard Quietone 2300, thing is silent, love it. Now the skimmer on the other hand is noisy, even after I swapped it to a Eheim 1262(900ish GPH). Need to find a solution for this. Also, I actually do own a bonsai tree. 7 Quote Link to comment

Lawnman Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 Right, it had been 30-40F this week, it's been outside other than this week.My Junipers stay out year around . You need schooled on Junipers son? 2 Quote Link to comment
Giga Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 Junipers don't need protecting till like 10ish degrees if there in a pot and even then there very hardy, I never bring them in my cold house unless there some freak weather where it gets in the negatives. Also if that's glues rock pebbles on the surface you need to chip those off 1 Quote Link to comment
BattleAthletics Posted March 10, 2014 Author Share Posted March 10, 2014 I was babying the tree, out it went today. While being inside it did bud out and grew a bit, I thought they were slow growers? Anyways scape plus 2 islands went in today and about 20lbs of rock went into the sump. The TLF phosban reactor was used with fowls to clear up the dust. Works amazingly, now time to count down the weeks until the cycle is done. I used biospira last time to cycle my evolve 8 and it worked great, testing will be done this week. Live sand and crushed coral was used as the substrate. Made a valley of .5-1in of crushed coral in the middle and used a thin layer of crushed coral on the rest of the sand bed. To prevent sandstorm. You have no idea how glad I am that this startup is close to being done. Hurt my back yesterday at my daughters 3rd bday party on a moon jump. Rescue training in the morning, not looking forward to it. 2 Quote Link to comment

glennr1978 Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Looks great man! One question though, where are you gonna put that big ass chunk of rock that I've got sitting in my tank (the one with the war coral, which has tripled in size btw, and the two little acro frags)? Quote Link to comment
evo_2679 Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Lights on! Also my laptop USB connection started to smoke while connected to the apex, idk how the hell I'm supposed to update it now. Need to program my radion also. How did this happen ? I just set up my new Apex two weeks ago and connect everything though my router (etherport connection) . I disconnect my netgear wireless bridge and connected my etherport from my apex to my router. Then I connect my laptop to my router via etherport cable also. Everything updated fine /I have the new firmware and still have not been emailed by Apex for the new Fusion access. I have signed up on there website but nothing yet. Please see the link below: . Hope this helps out. Awesome scape by the way!! 1 Quote Link to comment
