Travis Posted December 3, 2004 Share Posted December 3, 2004 Hey, guys hows it goin? Well this will be my thread for my new 20 long. As of now I only have the tank, stand, and lights set up. Here's the picture. What do you guys think? Tomorrow I will be getting in my stuff for the SCWD wavemaker. I will post pics when that project is done. Link to comment
Tigahboy Posted December 3, 2004 Share Posted December 3, 2004 Congratulations! After many weeks (months?) of lurking about and contesting conventional views on reef-keeping (not a bad thing), leaving feedback on other ppl's threads, you have finally done it! Looks great so far! And daaang...that stand of yours is slick! Where'd ya get it? =) Good luck w/ the set-up! Link to comment
Travis Posted December 3, 2004 Author Share Posted December 3, 2004 Um..Tigah, I have kept nano's before. My Current set up is a MiniBow7... Anyways, I don't have any water or sand in the tank as of yet. The sand i am using is Figi Pink. Click on the link in my signature to see my current set-up. BTW, Thanks Link to comment
Travis Posted December 3, 2004 Author Share Posted December 3, 2004 Oh, My bad, I thought you typed SAND, but you typed STAND. The STAND is a 30" Hi-Gloss Black stand from AGA. Link to comment
Tigahboy Posted December 3, 2004 Share Posted December 3, 2004 Haha...I never meant to imply that you didn't keep nanos before. I was referring to your lengthy research in preparation for your 20g long. which I commend you for. my bad if i did. =) Link to comment
Travis Posted December 3, 2004 Author Share Posted December 3, 2004 Ah, I guess I just read it wrong lol. but yeah, it's been over a month of PURE research. I just got the tank, stand, and lights in a few days ago. I will diffinantly be takeing thigs slow, the cycle I mean. On Saturday, along with the wavemaker project, I will be doing my auto-top off foatswitch system. Pics are soon to come (2 days) Link to comment

Travis Posted December 3, 2004 Author Share Posted December 3, 2004 Thanks I just got my Squid SCWD and Mag-5 in today...THAT MEANS I GET TO START PLUMBIN TOMORROW!!! :D:D ... ... Link to comment
Travis Posted December 5, 2004 Author Share Posted December 5, 2004 ok, sry guys, but I will have to take pics for tomorrow, I went to the hardware store to buy all my fittings and stuff, and I did, but I forgot a few things and they closed before I could get to them. so I will go to a Lowes or Home Depot tomorrow and get the fittings. Question: Is it alright if I use a RUBBER hose? It's made for a car's heater were the water comes in. Link to comment
le kid Posted December 5, 2004 Share Posted December 5, 2004 No, the rubber in those may leech toxins. I could be wrong, but I wouldn't use anything designed for automotive uses in a reeftank(cept for maybe l.e.d.s or something). Link to comment
Travis Posted December 5, 2004 Author Share Posted December 5, 2004 ok, any one know FOR SURE that rubber leaks toxins? Link to comment
