NanoDiver Posted September 15, 2014 Author Share Posted September 15, 2014 Just curious, but what will place in the inTank media baskets? I use purigen, chemipure elite, and a filter sponge Link to comment
NanoDiver Posted September 15, 2014 Author Share Posted September 15, 2014 The GSP opened up all the way last night while the moonlights were on. I might need to raise my lights up more if it retracts today when they turn on full blast. Link to comment
NanoDiver Posted September 16, 2014 Author Share Posted September 16, 2014 And she's open all the way. And this is how I'm going to build my stand. Link to comment
NanoDiver Posted September 18, 2014 Author Share Posted September 18, 2014 Just a little DIY! Only a few things left to do on it including staining it. Link to comment
TeamIM24 Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 Stand already looks good so I know it will look fantastic after you stain it. Link to comment

Most of the wood came from a bed frame I built a while back. So it's made of 2by10's 2by8's and 2by4's I used for that. I also made a light rail Link to comment
NanoDiver Posted September 22, 2014 Author Share Posted September 22, 2014 So I'll have my sump set up tomorrow, and there's good news to anyone wanting an external sump on a 20g fusion. The eshopps nano hang on over flow fits in the second chambers, I'll see tomorrow if it will run smoothly that way Link to comment
NanoDiver Posted September 22, 2014 Author Share Posted September 22, 2014 And the overflow works like a charm everything is up and running great, plus vivid aquariums called and they are ready to ship my order of livestock Link to comment
NanoDiver Posted September 24, 2014 Author Share Posted September 24, 2014 So I did all my testing today and everything looks great. Some liverock in my sump has got to still be cycling since it's only been in for a few days but I've been upping my water changes because my fish come in Thursday! When I switched stands and added the sump my GSP took cover, he's just starting to come back out so I hope that's a good sign my new livestock will be ok. Link to comment

I have an extra MJ1200 I thought about using for the return, I'm curious to know if tat would work. I won't have my tank for ~1 week or so, but I'm trying to make sure I have all necessary items to get her up and running once it's in! Link to comment

I won't have my tank for ~1 week or so, but I'm trying to make sure I have all necessary items to get her up and running once it's in! I use the maxijet 1200 and it will work perfectly with no mods. I now use my stock pump to mix salt. Link to comment
Begow Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 I use the maxijet 1200 and it will work perfectly with no mods. I now use my stock pump to mix salt. Has it increased the noise at all? That's my main concern since they tend to have a lot of vibration etc. Link to comment
NanoDiver Posted September 25, 2014 Author Share Posted September 25, 2014 Has it increased the noise at all? That's my main concern since they tend to have a lot of vibration etc. Not at all it's quiet. The skimmer and the mp 10 are louder than it. It's a pain to place in with the y split returns, mainly because my hands don't fit but it will fit perfectly once you manage to get the tubing connected Link to comment

I had to use some spare tubing to get it connected because it wasn't a good fit right out the box but it keeps popping off. Any suggestions? Link to comment
NanoDiver Posted September 25, 2014 Author Share Posted September 25, 2014 Mine fit right in with no mods and stock tubing, not sure why yours gave you problems Link to comment
Dell Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 Mine fit right in with no mods and stock tubing, not sure why yours gave you problems Interesting, it just connected to the black "Y" tube? I ask if it was black because I have seen a video or 2 of some 20's look like the "Y" tube is clear, so I'm just checking. Link to comment
NanoDiver Posted September 25, 2014 Author Share Posted September 25, 2014 Yep it was black. That's crazy if they are diffrent sizes or somthing. Anyway just got my shipment of livestock I'll be posting pictures later. Link to comment
NanoDiver Posted September 25, 2014 Author Share Posted September 25, 2014 So I've got everything in the tank now except my yasha goby, he was DOA! But overall I would buy again from vividaquariums Link to comment

Dell Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 Looking good, I love those H. firefish I was thinking about getting one, but I am waiting to see how my Tanaka's wrasse does. Link to comment
NanoDiver Posted September 26, 2014 Author Share Posted September 26, 2014 He's doing great and started eating mysis today, I also saw my shrimp for the first time today he's made himself a nice little hole. My zoas are opening up but my gsp has not come out in about three days I'm going to a coral show on the 4th and will be picking up a few pieces Link to comment
NanoDiver Posted September 27, 2014 Author Share Posted September 27, 2014 Well my blue hermit just took his first victim... http://s1383.photobucket.com/user/jacoballen1226/media/1B4353FA-B96A-44F0-BCA2-6FD93DEA9C61_zpse7dqg0pr.jpg.html'> Link to comment

NanoDiver Posted September 28, 2014 Author Share Posted September 28, 2014 Yep I'm not mad.. Knew it would happen. Didn't think on the second day lol. So I picked up a YWG today and a fire shrimp Link to comment
