Travis Posted December 11, 2004 Author Share Posted December 11, 2004 Hey guys, I just added 25 # of Haddies LR to my tank and it is AWSOME! so many shapes and stuff, I am in LR hevean!!! :D:D I am still waiting on the impeller housing to come in so I canrun the Wavemaker. Rigt now All I have is 2 small PH for surculation, but when I fix the wave maker, the will come out. Now back to the rock...I have a huge cave on the left side...IT'S SWEET!. After the cycle I will transfer my current tank (MiniBow7) to this one and have a total of 40 # of LR. I will pick up the Camera from work tomorrow and take oogles of pics! Link to comment
Travis Posted December 11, 2004 Author Share Posted December 11, 2004 Well, I woke up this morning, turned on my lights and found TONS of shrimp/pod like cretures. I was told that to keep a Mandrain(sp?) Dragonet you need at least 30 Lb of LR. I, in the end, will have 40 lb of LR. Do you guys think I would be able to keep one in about a year from now or not? It will be housed with 2 Occ Clowns (1 or those is a Black Occ Clown) and a Cherub Angel. Don't flame me...I havn't done it yet lol. Link to comment
Travis Posted December 11, 2004 Author Share Posted December 11, 2004 Also, The Live Rock that I bought has been in the "Rock Tub" at my LFS for over a month. I transported the LR Back to my house in an icechest filled with water and the rocks. How long do you guys think my cycle will be? Just an estimate. Link to comment

MiniReefin Posted December 11, 2004 Share Posted December 11, 2004 you cant keep snit in that junk, without some pics!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and your cycle will never end Link to comment
Travis Posted December 11, 2004 Author Share Posted December 11, 2004 I just added the other LR from my MB7. I now have about 35-40 Lb of LR. I will post pictures at about 4:30 or 5 PM CST. I have 3 small rocks with several polyps of zoos on them. I had them since my 1st Reef Tank's initial cycle. Do you guys think that they will be able to survive this tanks cycle? Link to comment
Travis Posted December 11, 2004 Author Share Posted December 11, 2004 Ok here they are!!! Full Tank Shot Left Side at an Angle Right Side at an Angle Left Side of The Tank Middle of The Tank Right Side of The Tank What do you guys Think?? Ya'll like the aquascaping? Link to comment
Travis Posted December 11, 2004 Author Share Posted December 11, 2004 oh, and the PS PH on the left is only temporary Link to comment

Angel Higuera Posted December 12, 2004 Share Posted December 12, 2004 I have a few comments, some might be outdated though. To answer your rubber hose question....yes they can be toxic. The manufacture sprays them to prevent cracking and chemicle corrosion. I work in the auto ind. thats how I know. What are the specs of your tank/equipment? and what are you gonna to replace that PH with. Im about to set my 20H up so I like to know what other 20'ers are doing. The aquascaping is perfect. Lotta tubes /pipes though. But what can we do? Why dont you have any sand,macro,LR in the fuge? Peace. Link to comment
Travis Posted December 12, 2004 Author Share Posted December 12, 2004 Thanks, the cave or cove area is just that, it's both. It goes in deep like a cove, then turns into a cave. The three Zoanthid colonies in the front are For-Sale...I can't seem to find a good spot in the aquascapeing to put them in. I guess that I will have to buy corals that arn't attached to LR and glue them to mine Link to comment
Travis Posted December 12, 2004 Author Share Posted December 12, 2004 The Closed Loop Wavemaker has plenty of flow for the entire tank, but the reason I am haveing to run the PH is the pump for the closed loop is leaking, but that problem will be fixted Monday. The reason I don't have anything in the fuge is I just havn't gotten around to it lol. I will probl do that Monday also. Link to comment
Angel Higuera Posted December 12, 2004 Share Posted December 12, 2004 I dont even know what close a loop system is! Can you give me a brief explanation? Im not a newbie but deffintly not an advanced reefer....yet. Link to comment
Travis Posted December 12, 2004 Author Share Posted December 12, 2004 Here is the link that I used as a visual blue print to make my own. http://www.melevsreef.com/closedloop.html There is also a video showing the effects..It's towads the bottom of the page. Link to comment
MiniReefin Posted December 12, 2004 Share Posted December 12, 2004 thats it, all this waitin for that!! naw man, just kiddin actually i like it, ALOT Hopefully, mine will look kinda like that, without so much equipment inside the tank. sorry, but what kinda fittins are those on the end of the loop(outlets) they're swivel(sp?) fittings?

Travis Posted December 12, 2004 Author Share Posted December 12, 2004 Like I said, The Powhead is only Temporarry. Link to comment
Travis Posted December 12, 2004 Author Share Posted December 12, 2004 Once I sell those Zoo colonies in the front and fix the Closed Loop Wavemaker, the tank will look ALOT less crowded Link to comment
Travis Posted December 12, 2004 Author Share Posted December 12, 2004 I also repositioned one of the rocks on the right so that it hides the PH in the back better Link to comment
