Reefkid88 Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 A NB light would look amazing over this tank. Or a nicely thought out DIY light. Either way,it'll look awesome. Shoot,it even looks stellar now man. Keep it up. Link to comment
Miguel Burguete Posted May 16, 2014 Author Share Posted May 16, 2014 It would be a good investment,be able to be used on numerous upgrades ( tank wise ). Is it the blue version ? Yes, the Sol Blue. Can you tel me the difference between them? maybe this tank needs a nano box I thought about it, but I´m from Portugal so it would be the $350 plus shipping that is also not cheap.. I would love to have one! Maybe after college during my first job.. Beautiful tank Miguel! Tanks!! Link to comment
Miguel Burguete Posted May 16, 2014 Author Share Posted May 16, 2014 WC Time: So easy with a pico tank! Pre-heat water and add salt! Some random: (Trying to get better at photography..) http://postimg.org/image/mm0ohplmx/full/'> Link to comment
Smithjm5 Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 Looking good man! I love this little tank! Link to comment
Reefkid88 Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 The Sol Blue has 1x cool white, 1x cool blue and 1x royal blue on each puck,while the Sol White has 2x cool white and 1x royal blue on each puck. From what I've seen most people pick the Sol Blue over the white version but it all depends on if you like a more overall blue look ( which most people do ). Although blues and whites are able to be independtly controlled,the white version isn't as blue but I'm sure will get pretty blue. But I can't really speak on it because I've never been hands on with of the Sol's nor any AI light in general. Link to comment

mejamis Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 Very neat tank. Corals are popping from that new Led light. Link to comment
Reefkid88 Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 Looks like the new light is complementing the tank quite well !!! I know that AquaBeam was not cheap,I was looking into them quite some time ago but decided not to try them out,just too costly for what it was and you can make a fixture double the size for the same price. Everything is looking awesome,keep up the good work !!! Link to comment

Everything is looking awesome,keep up the good work !!! It is very expensive for the results but these were almost new from a guy and I bought it for 35$. The problem with diy for me is that we don't have so many good shops like you you do in the US. And to buy from rapidled or other American shop is expensive to Portugal because of taxes! I also like the combination between T5 lamp and TMC led's! Thanks! I want to see live stock in you 7G!! Link to comment

Which sucks. It looks good regardless man. Hahaha,soon...very soon. I hope at least lol. Once I'm able to keep things it's going to be zoa and acan heaven. Then eventually sps to the brim,so it'll be fun. Link to comment

I'm turning also to zoa and acans to! they have beautiful colours and are easy to keep in nano and pico tanks. My experience tells me to try sps when I have the money to invest in something bigger and with the right equipment, skimmer pumps sump ect! But from what I can afford now I will try to keep these nano for at least one year! it is one of the objectives that I never accomplished. My problem is that i feel distracted with hardware instead of livestock! But for now I believe that I have the right hardware to keep this for a long time! Link to comment
Reefkid88 Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 Honestly,the key to keep your nano running for years is close to or 100% water changes,keep up on keeping your media clean and algae down. That's about it. If you want to keep sps in this tank,do 75% or more water changes and good strong flow and ample lighting,stable water conditions and you'll be good to go. Link to comment
Miguel Burguete Posted June 12, 2014 Author Share Posted June 12, 2014 Few changes over here. I was not dealing good with so much alkalinity drops dailly. I have sold the Stylophora Milka and the Pocillopora. I have focused mostly on soft's and lps for now on. I started using Deltec kalkwaser on the ATO. Next weekend I will get a green Mini Carpet Anemone from my lfs. Also looking for new acans and mora zoas!! http://postimg.org/image/c5h9of3av/full/'> Link to comment
