seabass Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 It'd be nice to know if we could run two HOB filters (as long as the total volume of the two didn't exceed 0.5 gallons). Quote Link to comment

This is what I was thinking but it “would” be nice if one was max .5g and the other would have to be 2qts or something along those lines @Christopher Marks rules please!!! Quote Link to comment

You cant call one a HOB, and call one a refugium, and get an extra gallon of water volume out of the pair. 1 Quote Link to comment

Christopher Marks Posted March 22, 2019 Author Share Posted March 22, 2019 I appreciate everyone's patience with me while I get this put together, the full announcement goes live Saturday, tomorrow. There won't be many new details about the tank setup itself that haven't already been outlined and clarified here, but it will be OFFICIAL, and everyone will have what they need to get started! 24 minutes ago, seabass said: It'd be nice to know if we could run two HOB filters (as long as the total volume of the two didn't exceed 0.5 gallons). Just 1 HOB filter per tank. 4 3 Quote Link to comment

seabass Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 Looks like we're going to have some fancy aquascapes. Looking forward to seeing everyone's works of art. 4 Quote Link to comment
MetaTank Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 It's a lot heavier than I thought it would be. I'm gonna assume that's a good thing 3 Quote Link to comment
Tamberav Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 My hubby was like: "why are you sitting on the couch playing with rocks for hours?" Then he saw the little tank on the floor and the lightbulb came on. "What is that tank doing there?" I tried to object and he was just like "No, no" and went back to doing his school stuff. He didn't want know and just pretended he didn't see it lol 13 1 Quote Link to comment
seabass Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 I haven't told her yet. I'm pretty sure that one of these days she'll go downstairs and ask, "WHAT IS THIS?" I'll tell her, and it will be fine. Otherwise she would have told me I have other things that I should be doing. I'm hoping it will be all setup and pretty by the time I'm discovered. 1 9 Quote Link to comment

Basically was just called a fish nerd and luckily had no backlash haha 1 2 Quote Link to comment
kimdawg Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 Meta, please let know what you think of the light. I was thinking about ordering the exact same model. 1 Quote Link to comment
SeaFurn Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 So I brought up the contest at dinner tonight because we are getting close to the announcement! Me: (excitedly) “There are 44 pages on Nano-Reef already!!” Mrs. Seafurn: “So are you gonna do it?” Me: (gingerly) “Thinking about it. I mean I pretty much have everything I need.” Mrs. Seafurn: “Sure you do.” (In disbelief) Me: Well, I may need an HOB filter...oh...hang-on-back filter. I’ll move some corals from the big tank.” Mrs. Seafurn: (eye roll) (silence) New topic begins. I think that means OK! I didn’t get a no! AND I may not need to set this up in the dog house after all. 2 9 Quote Link to comment

You're was more well recieved. I had her thinking about it when it a "spouses" contest test the knowledge of the non-reefer cohabitant. But than the new tank became available and she wasnt into the 2nd tank idea and had some unpleasant things to say about 3rd tank... lol... im thinking i had 4 running at one time less than 2 years ago. 1 Quote Link to comment
Frag Factory Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 Lots of people saying 1st April start... That's in like 10 days and we don't even have official rules. I'm holding off ordering equipment until rules are 100% sorted, this isn't going to give any time to sort that out. Quote Link to comment
kimdawg Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 All that I have of the equipment is the tank. I will order the rest after the rule reveal tomorrow. I will start stacking rocks sometime this weekend. 1 Quote Link to comment
skyscraper2290 Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 The rules won’t be much different than what’s listed already. Standard 2.5G with some dimension leeway. HOB only and no sump, canister filter, or dividing walls/AIO. No need to make it more complicated than you need. Quote Link to comment

Yeah...but your 25 is gonna be awesome! That’s what you’re getting right? You had 4 tanks? Whoa...I doubt I could keep 4...just not enough time. I brought up the idea of a spouses tank back around page 10 or whenever it was and she said “oh hell no”. And she’d never let me have 3 tanks. Im just gonna lay low, order some stuff off Amazon, and start breaking up some rocks - quietly of course. 3 Quote Link to comment

I’m digging this little light. Only played around with it for a minute, I am pleasantly surprised at how sturdy the gooseneck is. Turned it on, pretty bright, then I put the lens in... BANG. Happy camper. I think it’s a good fit for this tank. I've researched it as much as I could. I hear it gets hot, and the remote can be finnicky, and you have to point the remote at the ballast, not the light. But on first impression, for the price, I'm happy. And yes, that is the top of my toilet 2 2 1 Quote Link to comment
