crrichey Posted December 12, 2004 Share Posted December 12, 2004 Interesting, I want to install something similar on my 29gal, however I have a remora skimmer on the back of my system, so I am not sure how exactly to work around it. Link to comment
Travis Posted December 12, 2004 Author Share Posted December 12, 2004 This is the Link that I used to go off of. It's set up on a 29 Gallon, and it also has a Remora. This should work for you http://www.melevsreef.com/closedloop.html HTH Link to comment
Tigahboy Posted December 13, 2004 Share Posted December 13, 2004 after seeing that link to the closed loop scwd, I appreciate your tank even more. up until now, I wasn't sure what was going on back there. nicely done. Link to comment
Travis Posted December 13, 2004 Author Share Posted December 13, 2004 Thanks Tigah ..I see it every day, and I still get butterflys in my stomach..can't belive i did the aquascaping Link to comment
Travis Posted December 13, 2004 Author Share Posted December 13, 2004 Well, I Stocked my tank...w/ Adobe Photoshop 7.0 of course What do you guys think? These are jsut some of the corals and that I want to have in my tank when i am done stocking it (if ever...). Questions? Link to comment
bobbittle Posted December 14, 2004 Share Posted December 14, 2004 Is your closed loop resting on the stand as his was or do you have it hanging off the tank? I've been debating on doing one but I don't have the space on the back of the stand to sit the pump on... Link to comment
Travis Posted December 14, 2004 Author Share Posted December 14, 2004 I made a shelf off the back of the tank. Link to comment
Dan_G25 Posted December 14, 2004 Share Posted December 14, 2004 Nice tank, my only suggestion is get a backing to hide those tubes/wires. I just used a black bristle board for my back. Again, sweet tank can't wait to see it stocked:o Link to comment

tasos Posted December 14, 2004 Share Posted December 14, 2004 hi, how many gallons per hour do you ''feed'' the SCUID WAVEMAKER ? Link to comment
Sushi Posted December 14, 2004 Share Posted December 14, 2004 i want a pink birdsnest too! good taste Link to comment
Travis Posted December 14, 2004 Author Share Posted December 14, 2004 tasos, The pump is rated at 500 GPH uchiha, you know what they say? Great minds think alike Link to comment
Tigahboy Posted December 15, 2004 Share Posted December 15, 2004 me too me too...i want a pink birdsnest thingy. Let's get some. Link to comment
Travis Posted December 15, 2004 Author Share Posted December 15, 2004 do you think It would be ok under my 130w of PC? If I put it towards the top? Link to comment
Tigahboy Posted December 15, 2004 Share Posted December 15, 2004 I think you could pull it off. They aren't as light needy as other SPS. And at the worst, they'll just lose some coloration, but still be fine health-wise. Link to comment
Travis Posted December 15, 2004 Author Share Posted December 15, 2004 Ok, I think I will try one when the tank is ready. I will start stocking the tank after Christmas, maybe after New Years. I also have been having trouble with the Mag-5. It just dosn't seem to seal off. So I took the Mag-3.5 (just happend to have one) and jacked the O-Ring from the Mag-5 and WALAH! Water tight external pump . With the Mag-5 I was having to turn the ball valve done a bit cause sand was going every where (I only have a 2-3 inch sand bed). And on another Note I, I went to my LFS and saw about 5 B&W Occ Clowns for sale They were 32.99 a fish. Link to comment
Travis Posted December 15, 2004 Author Share Posted December 15, 2004 Oh and BTW, I added my clean up crew yesterday. Here's the List: 10 Astrea Snails 8 Nass. Snails 1 Cerithera(sp?) Snail 1 Mexican Turbo Snail 1 Fighting Counch 2 Red Foot Hermits 1 Scarlet Reef Hermit Hopefully when My Initial Algea bllom takes place these critters will handle it nicely Link to comment
crrichey Posted December 15, 2004 Share Posted December 15, 2004 good luck with that. Link to comment
Travis Posted December 16, 2004 Author Share Posted December 16, 2004 ah, 24 hours and NO LEAKS from the Mag-3.5 and I am lov'in the perfect amount of flow Link to comment
jimbro Posted December 16, 2004 Share Posted December 16, 2004 travis, you could definitely get a birdsnest, and it should color up fairly nice too. check out the pic in my gallery, same size tank and lighting Link to comment
