MattGecko Posted July 22, 2004 Share Posted July 22, 2004 I finally made the switch from my 2yr old Minibow 7 to a NanoCube 12. The rest of the Pictures Running the Iceprobe in an AQ-mini is creating to much heat at the back of the canopy. I bought a Fluval 104 from Bigals and will be installing the Iceprobe in it (running with no media). My photo skills are nowhere as good as my wood working, metal halide is distorts the colors a little bit. Link to comment
Korbin Posted July 22, 2004 Share Posted July 22, 2004 Did you make that stand and hood? That thing is the shiznit. great coral placement. I like the way the monti makes a shelf. Link to comment
MattGecko Posted July 22, 2004 Author Share Posted July 22, 2004 Yes I built them both, I'm a "DIY junky". 5 gallon R/O jug fits perfectly in the lower portion with enough room up top for everything electrical. Hopefully with in 6 month the entire sand bed will be a carpet of zoo's. Link to comment
skeletor Posted July 22, 2004 Share Posted July 22, 2004 very nice, the stand rocks... I think in 6 months those zoos will be in the shadow of that cap... :-) -skeletor- Link to comment
birdman204 Posted July 22, 2004 Share Posted July 22, 2004 or killed by those yellow polyps.. those guys are ravenous for space and light, and generally grow much faster than zoos... If I could restart my tank, I would take out the yellow parazoanthus, and maybe even the ricordea. That is gonna look TIGHT when it grows in fully, especially that frag on the back wall.

MattGecko Posted July 22, 2004 Author Share Posted July 22, 2004 I noticed the same thing with those yellow polpys, I am looking to trade that rock. : ) There are need if there kept on an island. The Red Cap needs a pruning soon. Under the 20K bulb my Green tree is turning neon (under the red cap). I'll take an above shot when I have time. Link to comment
GatorChris Posted July 22, 2004 Share Posted July 22, 2004 Hey Matt, What kind of ballast are you using to run your 150W HQI? I am ready to purchase one, but I'm not sure which brand to buy. What are your thoughts on Aromat, Icecap or ARO hqi ballasts? Thanks, -Chris Link to comment
MattGecko Posted July 22, 2004 Author Share Posted July 22, 2004 I bought the 20K bulb and Aromat ballast from LampDr. I'm fairly new to HQI ballast, the only other one I've used was a 70W WPI. Link to comment
