Obsessed Reefer Posted December 17, 2015 Author Share Posted December 17, 2015 Tanks been doing well, the algae is mostly gone. I got my mame skimmer installed. I also took the four line back to my lfs. They are working on finding me a pair of small mandarins. I also found another lfs that sells algagen copepods! I'm glad I can now get them w/o having to pay shipping.

lilmatty5dimes Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 Love your torch and hammer. Are you going to make this a lps garden? Quote Link to comment
Obsessed Reefer Posted December 18, 2015 Author Share Posted December 18, 2015 Possibly. I've always loved Euphillya, and this tank looks beautiful. I just like how it adds motion to the tank. Quote Link to comment
Obsessed Reefer Posted January 3, 2016 Author Share Posted January 3, 2016 I need to snap some pictures at some point, but there's been a few changes. 1) I removed the Randall's Goby as he was getting quite big and starting to bully the clowns. 2) I got a small diamond goby as a replacement 3) I got a new mandarin 4) A few new corals. 1 Quote Link to comment
Kijho Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 Such an awesome looking tank, I really like it ... Would you share some details / photos perhaps of your WC process?! Quote Link to comment
Obsessed Reefer Posted January 5, 2016 Author Share Posted January 5, 2016 Such an awesome looking tank, I really like it ... Would you share some details / photos perhaps of your WC process?! I change 4 gallons a week. I have two 5 gallon buckets, one for mixing the Red Sea Coral Pro salt, (2 cups for 4 gallons), and the other for the old water. I just syphon out 4 gallons and add in the new water. Quote Link to comment
rbargante Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 Hi. Still have the tank? Still using the MAME III Skimmer? 1 Quote Link to comment
Obsessed Reefer Posted January 10, 2016 Author Share Posted January 10, 2016 Hi. Still have the tank? Still using the MAME III Skimmer? Yes, everything is still up and running. I'm a big fan of the MAME III Skimmer. Quote Link to comment
rbargante Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 Thank you for reply. What you using on your reactor? Quote Link to comment
adept Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Hey man... loved reading through this thread. I have the same tank as you (for 1 year now) and I've been using the Maxspect 60w. I see that you changed it to the AI prime, so I have to ask why. I have never been very happy with my coral growth, and I'm wondering if you ran into that with the Maxspect. Quote Link to comment
Obsessed Reefer Posted January 13, 2016 Author Share Posted January 13, 2016 Thank you for reply. What you using on your reactor? I actually don't have my reactor running right now, in terms of chemical filtration I have Seachem SeaGel in filter bags in my media baskets. Hey man... loved reading through this thread.

Honestly I just wanted a new light with a smaller footprint, and the fact that I can control it from my iPhone, makes the nerd in me super happy, haha. I had no issues with the Razor, but I would highly recommend the prime over the razor for this tank. It also has more light channels than the razor. 1 Quote Link to comment
rbargante Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Thank you. Are you happy with Seachem SeaGel? What quantity and when you change it? Do think Seachem SeaGel protect against algae? Quote Link to comment
MOJOEJOEJOE Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 Are you still using the AI Prime? If so how is it over this tank. I'm thinking about getting the same tank Quote Link to comment
debbeach13 Posted July 28, 2016 Share Posted July 28, 2016 Is this tank still up and running? Over time you tried but then changed some of the equipment. Could you post a list of what equipment you are now running on the tank. I am considering ordering this tank next week. It would be great to skip some items that did not work out. Thanks Quote Link to comment

Could you post a list of what equipment you are now running on the tank. I am considering ordering this tank next week. It would be great to skip some items that did not work out. Thanks The tank is currently down, I got an out of state corporate internship with my company so I had to take it down. The two major pieces of equipment I changed was the light, I went from the razor to the AI Prime, more so because I liked the smaller profile and the ability to control the lights from my phone. I also replaced the innovative marine skimmer I bought with the MAME skimmer, I felt that the IM skimmer never really broke in, and was too noisy for me. Minor thing was getting upgraded media baskets. Quote Link to comment
