Cesar Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 These things are pretty neat. I was thinking of a 6g one. Quote Link to comment
PodRod Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 The tank looks great and I love the aquascaping! Quote Link to comment
Donovan Posted March 24, 2006 Author Share Posted March 24, 2006 Thanks-- -- Still reviewing the placement of the torch. The 150w MH Sunpod might be too much for it. Quote Link to comment
reefernanoman Posted March 29, 2006 Share Posted March 29, 2006 Hi I love your tank. Do you know the dimensions of your tank?I just bought a 24g nano cube with a stand for it, but the tank had a crack! Now i'm stuck with the stand. I want to get an aquapod like yours instead and use this stand for it. I am wondering if these tanks have the same dimensions. thank you! Quote Link to comment
Donovan Posted March 29, 2006 Author Share Posted March 29, 2006 en28so -- thanks I am pleased about the tank. The dimensions are 20" x 17" x 20" h and I have it on an all black Oceanic stand. Quote Link to comment
reefernanoman Posted March 29, 2006 Share Posted March 29, 2006 Your tank came with 150mh lighting right? Is your lighting fan cooled and does it include moonlights? Quote Link to comment
Donovan Posted March 29, 2006 Author Share Posted March 29, 2006 Yes it came with the Sunpod 150watts MH. There's 6 white and 6 blue LED moonlights. Quote Link to comment
Donovan Posted October 22, 2006 Author Share Posted October 22, 2006 Updated pics of 24g Aquapod. Set up around 7 months. Weekly water change (Catalina). How often should Mh bulbs be replaced? Quote Link to comment
KMitch Posted October 22, 2006 Share Posted October 22, 2006 Ideally every 6-8 months. The bulbs last longer than that but thats when the spectrum will start being less optimal. You can go as long as a year, but again, not ideal. Tank looks great. Quote Link to comment

Daveg99 Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 How do you not get green and red algea inbetween the sand and the glass at the bottom? After just a few weeks you should start getting color there. Do you clean that area? Quote Link to comment

The phoenix mh 14k 150w seems to be a popular choice so I will give that bulb a try. you should be very proud, this tank is beautiful Thanks... My set up is very basic ie filter floss, LR rubble, purigen and chemipure. And luckily I see some growth with the corals esp. the torch. I have been fortunate that none of the fish (paired Clarkiis and a bicolor pseudochromis) have gotten out of my topless tank. Quote Link to comment

After just a few weeks you should start getting color there. Do you clean that area? I try to be diligent with the cleaning -- mag float practically everyday. Scarlet hermits do great job on the sandbed as well. Quote Link to comment
Daveg99 Posted October 23, 2006 Share Posted October 23, 2006 I forgot to compliment you on that NICE looking tank!!! It makes me want to start my cube soooo bad!!! Quote Link to comment
PodRod Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 That tank looks awesome! I'm on my second AP 24G and I still don't have one that compairs with this. Great job!!! Quote Link to comment
Sea_Of_Treachery Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 beautiful tank,love the torches, although i wouldn't keep a pair of clarkiis, whats your w/c schedule? Quote Link to comment
RP Beesh Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 cool how the back of the wall look. Quote Link to comment
Donovan Posted October 25, 2006 Author Share Posted October 25, 2006 (edited) beautiful tank,love the torches, although i wouldn't keep a pair of clarkiis, whats your w/c schedule? Thanks. I hope nothing really horrible could happen as to prevent me from keeping Harry and Sally (paired Clarkiis) in my tank? Are they not a good pair to keep?

MGXsport Posted October 25, 2006 Share Posted October 25, 2006 Thanks. I hope nothing really horrible could happen as to prevent me from keeping Harry and Sally (paired ocellaris) in my tank? Are they not a good pair to keep? Those don't look like ocellaris to me. Can't tell well from the picture but they look like Sebae or Clarkii Quote Link to comment
Donovan Posted October 25, 2006 Author Share Posted October 25, 2006 Those don't look like ocellaris to me. Can't tell well from the picture but they look like Sebae or Clarkii Oops typo... just edited. Quote Link to comment
Donovan Posted October 30, 2006 Author Share Posted October 30, 2006 Before After My Phoenix 150w 14k bulb finally came but now I dont know if I should replace my ~8 month bulb. Should I hold out for a couple more months? I wonder how much more blue the Phoenix is compared to my Current usa 150w 14k? Quote Link to comment
MGXsport Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 It is about time to change it. If I held out it would only be for a few more weeks at the most. Quote Link to comment
mullman Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 That is one gorgeous tank - CONGRATS! Quote Link to comment
