Berlibee Posted September 21, 2016 Author Share Posted September 21, 2016 Yes, the tank was made by Crystal Dynamic. Kent from Aqua Lab Aquaria was the connecting link between me and CD in the beginning. 1 Quote Link to comment

blizzardscout2 Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 I love the build! I'm a sucker for shallow rimless tanks. I'm looking forward to seeing it up and running. 1 Quote Link to comment
Berlibee Posted September 26, 2016 Author Share Posted September 26, 2016 Thanks guys, no leaks at this moment! hehehe .... will add more fishes in a few weeks. Not have much left after the move of my small Pico20g to a new location, most of the corals died. So only softies and 2 SPS were transferred. We can say a fresh start: 2 Quote Link to comment
ReefSafeSolutions Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 Yes, the tank was made by Crystal Dynamic. Kent from Aqua Lab Aquaria was the connecting link between me and CD in the beginning. I've been talking with Trent from Crystal Dynamic recently, I live about 10 miles from his shop. Super cool guy, and his tanks are top notch. Stoked to see one on here! Everything is looking fantastic! 1 Quote Link to comment

Berlibee Posted September 27, 2016 Author Share Posted September 27, 2016 Royal Gramma jumped out from the tank. My dog told me she didn't see it ... Quote Link to comment

RollaJase Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 Very nice start. Sorry to hear about the gramma. Is it live and well or did you find it around the tank? 1 Quote Link to comment
Berlibee Posted September 28, 2016 Author Share Posted September 28, 2016 Thank you! No, she was hiding inside the rock and each time I was lifting each rock to find her, she was inside hehehe ... Gramma is fine and happy now. 2 Quote Link to comment

gecko Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 Hello! What bar thickness u used for stand? Quote Link to comment
Berlibee Posted September 28, 2016 Author Share Posted September 28, 2016 It's 2x4. But I think I did the stand a little bit wrong all the weight of the tank is supported entirely by the construction nails not the vertical 2x4. I hope I will not have problems with that in future.

Berlibee Posted September 30, 2016 Author Share Posted September 30, 2016 Lovely new pieces, I particularly like the hammer coral and the acans. Yep! And gorgonian is super fun to watch as well. So many polyps On the photo it's only 50% open. 1 Quote Link to comment
Berlibee Posted October 1, 2016 Author Share Posted October 1, 2016 I'm pretty happy with the Vertex skimmer, very easy to setup. 24h break-in without collecting cup and then it started to skimm a little already. After one week it is skimming well, can't say super dark but I can see it's removing all the Coral Snow that I'm dosing also skimming well on regular days. Vertex Omega 130 after one week (2 days skimmate on the photos): 1 Quote Link to comment
