BigBlue Posted July 20, 2005 Author Share Posted July 20, 2005 Thanks guys - this thing sits in my home office so it gets alot of TLC during the day. Maybe too much sometimes... ~chris Link to comment

BigBlue Posted July 28, 2005 Author Share Posted July 28, 2005 Snapped this pic on an older camera. It must be time for the Goby's 6mo dental cleaning. Link to comment

Pili Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 Lookin great as always! Sweet LPS and SPS too. BTW, did you get the cheato i sent you ok? I forgot to ask. Link to comment
BigBlue Posted July 29, 2005 Author Share Posted July 29, 2005 FishFreak - it's gotten to where the cleaner does that all the time. He just started it recently. It's pretty cool. Pili - got the cheato and it's growing like wildfire in the tank. I think I've finally gotten my nutrients under control. BTW, your PM box is full. ~chris Link to comment
The Speez Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 Tank looks great........well done! Link to comment
Reefgeek Posted August 20, 2005 Share Posted August 20, 2005 Two quick questions. First, if you had to do it again, how would you do the overflow different? Also, how do you like your SEIO? Is it a 620? Beautiful tank, I hate that I have to wait till spring to set up mine! (wife decree) Link to comment
BigBlue Posted August 23, 2005 Author Share Posted August 23, 2005 Well, if i had to do it all over again, I'd first stick a 1 1/4" bulkhead for the overflow. The flow is too slow now and then I'd use an overflow box. The upturned intake allows me to change the water height when I want but it doesn't take water from the surface as much as I'd like. And that is a Seio 620 and it's great. It's quiet and doesn't add any heat to the water (that I can tell) Link to comment
Reefgeek Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 It looks pretty big in the pics. Does it get in the way at all, or if it does is it worth it? Link to comment
BigBlue Posted August 23, 2005 Author Share Posted August 23, 2005 The way I've got the rockwork setup it doesn't get in the way, but if I wanted a "rock wall" in the back I definitely wouldn't be able to do it. One option would be to size it just right so you can leave it perfectly vertical instead of angled like it is now. Link to comment
BigBlue Posted August 23, 2005 Author Share Posted August 23, 2005 Here's a few shots of the Ca Reactor I built on DJ88's design. This one is a little shorter (12") and plumbed a little differently. Right now I'm running CO2 at ~40bpm. I haven't measured the flow yet. Effluent PH is 7.30 and tank PH is 8.00. Effluent KH is ~11 with the tank KH at 9.5 Tank Ca is 400ppm Link to comment
