holyherbiness Posted July 28, 2004 Share Posted July 28, 2004 This tank looks like it has some serious potential. Link to comment
dhoffroad Posted July 28, 2004 Author Share Posted July 28, 2004 THANKS. I just got it to this point a little over two weeks ago and now I am thinking 10 gal sump/fuge with skimmer, I got everyting laying arround would just have to make a over- flo.and hook it all up maby when I get a little spare time (spare time what is that LOL) Link to comment
dhoffroad Posted July 28, 2004 Author Share Posted July 28, 2004 oh yea I guess I forgot to mention my nimble mag cleaner ( sorry C Jerome ) and my perc clown , cleaner shrimp , (2) emerald crabs and snails ( turbos, asteria, stometella, I hope I spelled those right ) and all the other hitch hikers, (bristle worms and I think a tiger tail cuke that I only seen once I know where it is but can't get to it so hopefully he don't die and nuke my tank.)

skeletor Posted July 28, 2004 Share Posted July 28, 2004 I like the way it fits into the desk/stand thing, looks very nice. -skeletor- Link to comment
dhoffroad Posted July 28, 2004 Author Share Posted July 28, 2004 the stand thing was a stand for a 55gal FOWLR that I got tired of and tore down. so I just added a little wood and glass ( divider between shelf's and tank ) and came up with that Link to comment
blide Posted July 28, 2004 Share Posted July 28, 2004 Looks like a closed loop also.. Can you explain how you made it? and some pics? It's look very well done. Link to comment
dhoffroad Posted July 28, 2004 Author Share Posted July 28, 2004 I just used the canister filter as the pump for the closed loop and it also gave me a little more water vol. for the pipe I used CPVC I like the size vers reg PVC IMO it is "nano size" .I had read that you should put a pre filter for the SCWD so the canister worked out great for that too.

dhoffroad Posted July 29, 2004 Author Share Posted July 29, 2004 this closed loop system gave me all the ideas http://www.sparklingfloorservice.com/tank/...closedloop.html Link to comment
blide Posted July 29, 2004 Share Posted July 29, 2004 Sounds good.. I was looking more at your picture's and your auto topoff how does it work? Can you post some close up picture's? I'm trying to figure out some of your inlet/outlet design. Thanks and have a great day. Bill Link to comment

dhoffroad Posted July 30, 2004 Author Share Posted July 30, 2004 actually the ones on this tank I bought at target they were in the auto section with the cell phone stuff, they were called mood lights it has three led's on individual swivle bases that attaches with double sided tape then bought a adapter from radio shack . they work perfect on this tank, I think the lights wer like $10 or $15 and the adapter was arround $15.

BelowH2O Posted September 15, 2004 Share Posted September 15, 2004 Awesome tank! I love that gorgonian. What has been your experience with it so far...feeding, polyp extension etc. I am seriously considering one for my tank, but I wanted to hear more personal feedback before I jump into buying one. Thanks... ~BH2O Link to comment
