dcbaros Posted January 18, 2015 Author Share Posted January 18, 2015 Anyone recommend a source for rock? I used to know of a website that sold dry rock in cool formations like bonsai, caves etc. Anyone know what site I'm talking about? Link to comment

dcbaros Posted January 19, 2015 Author Share Posted January 19, 2015 Damn. I was just at Ashley furniture yesterday looking for something to use as a stand...still can't decide what I want. I think what I bought is part of a desk. It was originally $500 and I got it for $130. Nice. You'll love it. Did you get the RMS mount? Yeah! Just got it in actually. Link to comment

dcbaros Posted January 19, 2015 Author Share Posted January 19, 2015 Anyone have a recommendation on sand-bed depth? Link to comment
DocReef Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 Anyone have a recommendation on sand-bed depth? I used 1 whole bag of CaribSea live sand. It gave me about 1.5-2 inches of sand bed. Anyone recommend a source for rock? I used to know of a website that sold dry rock in cool formations like bonsai, caves etc. Anyone know what site I'm talking about? I have RealReef live rock.

jbb Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 I used 30lb bag of aragamax select , to get around 1.5 - 1.75" depth. Link to comment
APLATN13 Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 Anyone have a recommendation on sand-bed depth? Atleast 2" of sand... Link to comment
dcbaros Posted January 21, 2015 Author Share Posted January 21, 2015 Okay I have the water in and a few questions for those with IM tanks, what is the optimum fill level? I also got the intank baskets and the smallest chemi pure blue bags. There is only room for a bag and a chamber with filter floss in these baskets, did they send me the wrong baskets? They seem small. Link to comment

dcbaros Posted January 25, 2015 Author Share Posted January 25, 2015 Rock is just in the tank, not final. I bought too much. Link to comment
Normang Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 sweet FTS. That xr15 with the RMS looks dang sexy. Link to comment
dcbaros Posted January 28, 2015 Author Share Posted January 28, 2015 Decided to paint the screen black. Due to my abundance of spare parts, supplies, and aquariums I will be setting up this tank by PicoAquariums as well. Link to comment

Steensj2004 Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 I switched my Nanobox Duo for a Radion XR15w on my Nuvo 16 when I had it. I regretted it horribly. I am a Ecotech guy for life, but that Radion wasn't as good of a light IMHO. For the same price i got MUCH better coverage and color. Control ability wasn't as nice as the Ecotech. And having the reeflink, MP10, and Radion made for some pretty sweet control! Love the tank! Link to comment
Normang Posted February 28, 2015 Share Posted February 28, 2015 any updates on this tank? Link to comment
dcbaros Posted March 1, 2015 Author Share Posted March 1, 2015 any updates on this tank? Yeah sorry, Ive been busy. It will take me awhile to get a complete stock list. I actually just got a bunch of new frags from reef currents in Houston today. Link to comment
JMCollins24 Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 Looking good! Following along! ...Side note, did you just spray paint the screen? I really don't like the white-ish color... Link to comment
dcbaros Posted March 1, 2015 Author Share Posted March 1, 2015 Looking good! Following along! ...Side note, did you just spray paint the screen? I really don't like the white-ish color... Yeah I just painted it with krylon. I hated the white. Link to comment
JMCollins24 Posted March 1, 2015 Share Posted March 1, 2015 Awesome! I'm definitely doing this today... The white is hideous.. I don't understand why they would make a tank with black accents and then have a white mesh top... the only thing I can think is light spectrum absorption, but could it really make that big of a difference with having a black top?!
