nismo_sky32 Posted August 30, 2014 Author Share Posted August 30, 2014 I have a Tunze DOC 9001 Nano Protein Skimmer en route for this tank and a Tunze Nanostream 6020 for aquatop. I wanted to get the 6040 for the control but that still hasn't released. I plan on putting that in the 60f. Hoping the new design will cut down on the sand blowing around and leaving bare spots Link to comment
nismo_sky32 Posted August 30, 2014 Author Share Posted August 30, 2014 Also got a green and purple shag shroom? Link to comment

nismo_sky32 Posted August 30, 2014 Author Share Posted August 30, 2014 I got a few more lined up but first I have to take care of some zoas Paandemonium has put aside for me Link to comment
Angel<3Nanos Posted August 30, 2014 Share Posted August 30, 2014 I got a few more lined up but first I have to take care of some zoas Paandemonium has put aside for me Ooohh. Claya has some nice stuff. Show some pics when you get those! Link to comment
nismo_sky32 Posted August 31, 2014 Author Share Posted August 31, 2014 Definitely. Looking like a few weeks before I'll get them but I have some nice ones lined up so it's well worth the wait. My next step with this tank is getting the skimmer in then rescaping to make more room. I put some rock in the display and the filter area to get them ready for the upcoming projects so it's way more than my liking. Hopefully I can get started on the stand within the month to get everything situated Link to comment
owenj Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 I don't know why NR didn't notify me that you responded to my post I may have gotten the striped RFA, not sure . It's orange with a black skirt and blackish lines so I guess it's kinda striped. No pics yet as I'm moving over to a Nuvo 20 soon for this tank. Still waiting on my cube from AA...they've been silent to my requests for an update on the status since it should've shipped/arrived this week but did not. Link to comment

nismo_sky32 Posted September 2, 2014 Author Share Posted September 2, 2014 Should have my skimmer and powerhead on Thursday. Still need an ato and a RO/DI if I am going with more than one tank. Might even have something the ada and aquatop will fit on, so if all goes as planned I'll hopefully have another build thread for everybody in the upcoming weeks Link to comment

nismo_sky32 Posted September 2, 2014 Author Share Posted September 2, 2014 Having responsibilities is putting me way behind schedule. Damn kids lol. I'm finishing up my list of what I need tonight. I have some lily pipes and a hydor inline heater I grabbed from gti a few months back. Debating on using them in my 14" cube or my freshwater tank. I kinda want to try going with just a powerhead and liverock and water changes for filtration but hate having the heaters in the open. So many decisions Link to comment

nismo_sky32 Posted September 2, 2014 Author Share Posted September 2, 2014 That's another option I'm debating on. Definitely need to thin out this live rock in this tank. Did my weekly water change and cleaning and it was a pain in the arse with all of it in my way. I have enough rock in this tank to scape the other two tanks and then some. I'm thinking a cove style scape in this one and one larger piece with two smaller accent rocks in the other two tanks. What are your thoughts? Link to comment
nismo_sky32 Posted September 3, 2014 Author Share Posted September 3, 2014 Tunze skimmer and pump should be in tomorrow! Use an Aquaclear. Makes my life easier lolMight look at getting ac110 filters for the two other tanks and turn the flow all the way down lol. I like the idea of having the extra space. My other thought was to build an acrylic sump to sit behind the tanks, use a pump to draw the water in and have it overflow back into the tank...hmmm Link to comment

BUT, I've seen people swapping the pump for one of the smaller models. Maybe you can do that and still have all that extra space? Link to comment

Maybe you can do that and still have all that extra space? Will try to get some pics up sometime soon. I have so much liverock in the tank, it's making it hard to clean off the acrylic. Definitely need to thin this ish out soon so I can get my minimalistic look back. In other news, I got my tunze skimmer and the new nanostream powerhead in the mail today! Link to comment
