Elizabeth94 Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 Well, my old tank was a 29 w/sump. But I want something longer and deeper. Ill probably end up with something around 60gals this time around. Still searching for the perfect tank.. I need something with no black background and a corner overdlow. CAD told me that I could peel the black backing off their tanks. Might go with them Link to comment
jackmccann Posted May 27, 2016 Author Share Posted May 27, 2016 So I'll be leaving in a few hours for Europe for three weeks! It'll be my first travel experience using a backpack instead of a suitcase. My girlfriend and I are pretty anxious to leave but I am sure once we are through security we will feel a lot better! I've got as much of my tank automated as possible and have a few babysitters as well! I am not worried at all about my large tank but am interested to see how well the wee tank fairs! I took a crappy shot of my zoanthids to see how they do over the next three weeks, will post a progress shot once I return! Link to comment

I spent countless hours doing my research and am so happy that I purchased this pack! Couldn't ask for a better rig and we aren't even off the ground yet!!! Looking forward to seeing how they hold up! I bought two osprey 55L Great choice on a pack. I have two ospreys, 65L and a 24L. never let me down once. have a great time.

HarryPotter Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 So I didn't see them in person so don't know how accurate this is, but just setting a custom white balance makes things much more clear and lifelike. Before: After: Link to comment
jackmccann Posted June 20, 2016 Author Share Posted June 20, 2016 What did you do/what did you use to alter the photos? They are very much so identical to what's in the tank So I didn't see them in person so don't know how accurate this is, but just setting a custom white balance makes things much more clear and lifelike.

HarryPotter Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 What did you do/what did you use to alter the photos? They are very much so identical to what's in the tank Hey! I just used the Photos app on my apple laptop. All you need to do is drag the "white balance" until the picture resembles what's in your tank Link to comment
jackmccann Posted June 20, 2016 Author Share Posted June 20, 2016 Thank you! I'll have to mess around with some of them on my Mac and see what happens Hey!

jackmccann Posted June 26, 2016 Author Share Posted June 26, 2016 Update: so with the upgraded pump and being back from vacation for a week I have managed to bring my tank back to life! It is looking much better now and have added a few chalice pieces that I love! I also grabbed a pair of designer clownfish recently which I will be posting shortly! I am really excited for them as I have always just purchased regular clownfish in the past and the patterns on these ones are so intriguing Link to comment

jackmccann Posted September 12, 2016 Author Share Posted September 12, 2016 It's been a busy summer but I am finally getting some down time and being able to enjoy the tank some more. My tyree toadstool has been self propagating! Looking forward to all the tiny toadstools around my tank, even more excited to trade them for some more corals! Will post a pic when my lights are on again. Link to comment
jackmccann Posted September 20, 2016 Author Share Posted September 20, 2016 Just finished a big wc and a full glass treatment! Will post photos later when everything has opened up again or tomorrow once things have settled in! Link to comment
jackmccann Posted September 21, 2016 Author Share Posted September 21, 2016 My tyree toadstool is self propagating! This is the first of probably 4-5 toadstool frags Link to comment
n0rcal2wheeler Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 Was wondering if you think a sicce 1.0 as a return with a slip stream would be enough flow for the tank or too much? want to find a good return upgrade so i dont have to run a powerhead in the display. Thanks for your input Link to comment

Thanks for your input I run just the return and spin stream, I am more than happy and don't run a power head at the moment. Chalice, sps and zoanthids are all happy Link to comment
