patback Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 Another blasto found its way into the car on my way home. .... Wow. You went from wanting to tear the tank down to buying a new coral? You bounce back quick when you're on the ss blow with sancho. 3 Quote Link to comment

jack1978 Posted August 23, 2016 Author Share Posted August 23, 2016 Where from? Color? Well, under the shop lights it looked like a crazy redish orange. At home, all shrunken up it's glowing orange. I'm guessing....if it survives the dip process, I'm guessing it'll have more of a red tint....but really hoping it keeps the orange! I think it was Ultra Gem? It's in Burbank! PICS! You know we DEMAND them! Ask and Ye shall receive! Wow. You went from wanting to tear the tank down to buying a new coral? You bounce back quick when you're on the ss blow with sancho. Oh, I'm still pretty sure I'm ripping this down.......but I've been looking for an orange blasto for EVER! 5 Quote Link to comment

jack1978 Posted August 24, 2016 Author Share Posted August 24, 2016 Just tear I down and build a 200 gallon..........you can have plenty blastos then I've been contemplating ripping this one down and dokng a small AIO........I want to get a smaller system....but I don't want to loose the water volume.....but I want a smaller system.......but I'll probably miss the larger footprint as soon as I do......but I want a smaller tank ..... 2 Quote Link to comment

Get a smaller tank . I loved my cube at first and then it was just too much. Too big. Smaller tanks are better! You won't miss the footprint....trust me!

spectra Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 Smaller are you ok ? you wont be able to fit anything it.....look at Teeny 2 Quote Link to comment
jack1978 Posted August 24, 2016 Author Share Posted August 24, 2016 Well said! I know exactly what you mean Right? But will I miss the sump? Pretty sure I would. But, my first reef....the BC29 freakin ran on auto pilot....so easy. Thinking about 20 gallons with a 5 gallon or more ATO under the custom stand. Keep the Crapion and Gyre.....dump a few corals and let the rest grow out and fill the smaller area. ......but will I miss the water volume and height of the cube? !?!? I'm torn. 2 Quote Link to comment

Maybe you should just get a smaller tank and keep the bigger one to.......everyone needs more than one tank....... 3 Quote Link to comment
jack1978 Posted August 24, 2016 Author Share Posted August 24, 2016 Smaller are you ok ? you wont be able to fit anything it.....look at Teeny Like I tell my wife........it's not the size that matters, nor quantity......it's quality of the package, Spectard! 2 Quote Link to comment
spectra Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 Like I tell my wife........it's not the size that matters, nor quantity......it's quality of the package, Spectard! Well that tank leaks and overflows so crappy quality right there 1 Quote Link to comment

Lol, I carried in a small 10 gallon I use for quarantine and put it on a shelf. She said nothing, but I found it outside on the back porch when I returned from work. Apparently I can't be "Jackie Two Tanks" like I wanted. :^ ( And really, I just want something super simple. Works been too crazy lately and all of the kid stuff and life in general........I wish I was old and semi retired like you, lawndart and yoga queen. Well that tank leaks and overflows so crappy quality right there Oh ya. ....right. SOB, I should definitely downsize. Thanks for putting it in perspective, grandpa. 4 Quote Link to comment
