GavinW Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 Better picture of my minitide in action: looks great! I like the color scheme went with on your tide. I should get mine this week for my fusion 10!! can't wait! ill post a pic when its up and running. 2 Quote Link to comment
aviator300 Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 I got a shipping confirmation for my minitide today! How about a grow out contest between the PRIME guys/gals against the minitide tide guys(and gals) and all the other lights in here? Friendly though, not name calling or fanboy stuff. I think it would almost be impossible to do this kind of contest due to the variety of methods used to help grow corals here and also the many different types of hardware used in our tanks. It would be super if someone (with the means) would purchase a Prime and a MiniTide and a tank at least 30" long and then put the exact same coral on both ends of the tank under each light for a growout and color comparison. Same tank, same water parameters, same feeding, same flow. I would be glad to sacrifice my time and effort if someone would fund me......LOL. 4 Quote Link to comment

That'd be easy if enough people were interested. But then who'd be the lucky devil? haha. 2 Quote Link to comment

Drs1685 Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 Where's everyone positioning/pointing their power heads, I can't get mine right (hydor425) , everyday I come home and the sand is either covering the rocks or pushed to a corner. Quote Link to comment

Same thing is happening to me with my RW-4! I ordered a lower voltage power supply for it to drop the flow. Even at its lowest setting it was moving my sand into piles Quote Link to comment

Even at its lowest setting it was moving my sand into piles When I was using a WP10 on my tank, this was never an issue, but maybe it's less powerful than the RW4 1 Quote Link to comment
reefernanoman Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Uh oh, still dealing with the Febreeze Incident? Hey teeny. I think that my corals might me doing a little better now. I wanted to ask you what you feed your Acans, since I have heard that they get very colorful like yours! I'm only feeding them reef chilli once a week and I don't think that's cutting it. Thanks! My rainbow acans are only showing green and white! Quote Link to comment
t8raff Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Hey everyone. I'm looking to get back into the game and have been eying this little tank. So what's the overall opinions on this tank? Seems to be a good bang for the buck. Quote Link to comment
ReeferJohn Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Hey everyone. I'm looking to get back into the game and have been eying this little tank. So what's the overall opinions on this tank? Seems to be a good bang for the buck. I was like you, I took 5 years off then came back and decided on this tank after looking at the jbj, CADlights, etc... it's a great tank you can't go wrong with it. 1 Quote Link to comment
t8raff Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Yeah I was just thinking you can't really beat the price. Now I just gotta see if I want to buy it with a skimmer or not. Any opinions on the ghost skimmer? 1 Quote Link to comment

Any opinions on the ghost skimmer? Try it without the skimmer. It does work pretty well, but it's loud. I don't think it's necessary. I love my fusion 10G after 7 months! Quote Link to comment
Bella's Reef Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 I would consider a desktop reactor over the skimmer, just stay on top of water changes. I myself am going that route if I can find a IM Desktop Reactor for cheap. Quote Link to comment
Drs1685 Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 In your opinion should I go for the ghost skimmer or the IM media reactor if I were going to choose one for a 10 gallon mixed reef with a couple fish Quote Link to comment
peaglesrx Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Hi, Just got my IM fusion 10g. this tank is awesome! Also, just put on the nanobox light too. How does everyone have it attached to the tank? When attaching mine to the back wall of the tank, it doesn't seem like it reaches all the way to the center of the display tank. Also, I have the bluefish controller. What channel settings are you guys using? It seems to go by percentages with this software. I was going to use 255 for channel 1 and 105 for channel 2. But, it seems this setting is based on older software? Thanks, Quote Link to comment
kenc87 Posted April 21, 2015 Share Posted April 21, 2015 Has anyone gotten the pico skim 2.0 to work well in this tank or is there a better skimmer that you guys would recommend? I'm starting to plan my own build and getting ideas. thanks Quote Link to comment
sprite Posted April 22, 2015 Share Posted April 22, 2015 A smart water, water bottle, is better than my ghost desktop skimmer: D an hour after being in the tank 1 Quote Link to comment
Drs1685 Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 What are you guys keeping in your intank media baskets, I have one coming and was wondering what kind of filtration I should use. Quote Link to comment
reefernanoman Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 What are you guys keeping in your intank media baskets, I have one coming and was wondering what kind of filtration I should use. Filter floss on top, then two bags of Chemipure blue nano (one in each slot). They are the perfect size! InTank sells them. 1 Quote Link to comment
WickedReef Posted April 24, 2015 Share Posted April 24, 2015 Filter floss on top, then two bags of Chemipure blue nano (one in each slot). They are the perfect size! InTank sells them. Yep, Chemipure blue nano works perfect. Good Stuff!!! Also better flow then using the larger size bag. 1 Quote Link to comment
