proraptor Posted March 21, 2006 Author Share Posted March 21, 2006 I also really like the monticap....I was really bummed about it though cause when I moved it broke in many places and so it doesnt look as good as it once did but it will grow back no problem Link to comment
Fishfreak218 Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 Monti Cap. is my favorite SPS....otherwise SPS is cool.. but an SPS dominated tank doesnt have much movement besides fish... which is why i like LPS and softies better (but after seeing a few peoples tanks.. i got to say... some SPS is cool... but i dont think Acro. does good in a mixed reef) Link to comment
proraptor Posted March 21, 2006 Author Share Posted March 21, 2006 Yeah Im not into SPS either...Colored sticks just dont do it for me...I like stuff that moves... Link to comment
ZooGirl Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 Very nice macro shots! Wow, you really did a good job on the move, your tank looks great!! Link to comment
proraptor Posted March 21, 2006 Author Share Posted March 21, 2006 Thanks....The funny thing is I didnt think the macro shots would come out very good as I consumed multiple alcoholic beverages before taking them...But I think they came out pretty good... Link to comment

NewSchool Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 great looking tank Proraptor! I'm plumbing a 30 gallon Oceanic cube into my 75 this weekend and briefly was looking through your thread for ideas. I see you're using a couple of SEIO's in the left and right corner. Could you tell me ones you are using? I use the 1500 and 1100 in my bigger tank and going to either get one or two for the cube. Keep up the good work! Link to comment
s3aL Posted April 1, 2006 Share Posted April 1, 2006 Awesome cube. May I ask where you got your tank and stand from and how much if you dont mind saying? Im looking for a 24x24x24 cube myself or something similar and im having a hard time finding any. Link to comment
JDMac Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 Proraptor I'm in the process of putting together a 60 cube (I'm going to try to document it in a new thread). I've read your post form start to finish and have a few questions. Since yours has been up and running for sometime now I was wondering if you would do anything different? Here is some if your info you posted. Pump - Panworld 50PX-X 1110 GPH (very quiet and runs super cold! Awesome pump!) Are you satisfied with your pump? Would you get a different kind if so which one? Where can I purchase the Panworld pump? Refugium: Ecosystem 24” x 8.5” x 8.5” acrylic. Where did you purchase it? I was looking around on Ebay, some come close but not at your measurements. Lights 1 250 watt HQI Aqua Medic Ocean light Metal Halide with a XM 15K bulb. 2 65 watt PC’s 8800K retrofit Phoenix 14K to replace my XM 15K and what a difference Sounds like your happy with this setup, would you change it? I am also building my own stand, it's going to be 44 inches tall. I know it's pretty tall but it's going to be in a location where you can't sit down and enjoy it. You have to be standing. Sorry for all the questions, I would like to set it up right the first time. If you have any information for me it would be appreciated. I'm located not that far from you, I live in Bellflower (near 605/91) and work in Seal Beach. I've never done the plumbing before. I'm going from a 12gal nano to the 60 gal cube, it's kind of intimidating. Link to comment
ScotchMaster Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 NewSchool - He is using 2 seio 620's s3aL - He bought it locally from www.reefcollection.com and it was about $250 out the door JDMac - He swears by panworld....You can get them at www.marinedepot.com, He also built his stand and hood himself. He got the ecosystem refugium at a frag swap for $10! Link to comment
Cesar Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 Where is Proraptor? He was my buddy. Haven't seen him on in a while. Link to comment
