anthony812 Posted February 27, 2003 Share Posted February 27, 2003 Hi all, I have gone away from this board for a while now...i miss all of you guys..i have been moving, upgrading tank, getting ready for the wedding stuffs, yes yes..another one bites the dust! and everything is finally settling in. so here i will share with you my new tank..its my new 120 AGA 40" long x 30" deep/wide, x 24" tall, i have 400W HQI MH with 10K ushio with 4 x 55W 50/50 Power Compacts..i know its not exactly a nano..but i just enjoy this forum so much. I will be starting my backyard/patio project really soon, probably next week, i will be running 2x60gallon or 4x25gallon fragging tank lite by natural sunlight ONLY! the power consumption is estimated at 400W Total power! By the way, i thought this would or might help some of you guys. i happen to get my hands on a couple of Euro-Reef ES 5-2 skimmers, its an awesome skimmer! I will be able to sell them for $160 plus shipping, i will not charge a fixed shiping charge, mainly cuz everyone lives at different places and the shipping cost is different. I will not earn a penny on shipping!! if you are interested, please contact me: anthony@classiclimo.com With my outdoor system, i am hoping to have frags of variety of stuffs available for the hobbists, and it will all be captive bred. My idea for sps frags will be mounted on the plastic tubes. and i will have PLENTY of Zooanthid frags !!! anyhow, that is enough talk.. Link to comment

anthony812 Posted February 27, 2003 Author Share Posted February 27, 2003 hmmm.. i rescued this piece from Jeffs' as i saw it bleachign away..its made it recovery quit well.. Link to comment
DeskJockey Posted February 27, 2003 Share Posted February 27, 2003 Looks great man!!! Nice to see you again.. definitely sounds like youve been busy. That acropora sublata sp. looks amazing without actinic! Im going to have to drive up and get a frag of that!! =) Good luck on your prop tanks. Sounds like its going to very difficult hope it works out though =) Link to comment
Twins Guy Posted February 27, 2003 Share Posted February 27, 2003 that sublata is sublime! first dibs...after desk! man you don't waste no time. you couldn't have been gone even two months and last i heard you were "getting out of the hobby" cuz of your move. i guess you're back up on your feets though! geez! beautiful tank, congrats on the impending wedding, and GL on the "solar-powered" frag system (how long have you been lobbying that with the misses?)! just so i get this right...you're tapping those california resources-sun, temperate/tropical climate to provide light and most of your temperature control, and then you'll only have pumps/filtration to power? sounds like a beautiful idea! tg Link to comment
LakerFan Posted February 27, 2003 Share Posted February 27, 2003 Dude post pics of the zoo's you're giving me Nice tank, i should be able to make it this Saturday afternoon. How far's Reef Collection from you, maybe we can make a trip over there! If you need help setting up that outdoor tank I'm just a phone call away (WILL WORK FOR FRAGS!) Did you get that idea from the new guy at SCMAS? and is that where your frags came from? Oh and don't forget to post pics of the zoo's you're giving me, and everyone should back off I get first dibs on anthony's frags Link to comment
DeskJockey Posted February 27, 2003 Share Posted February 27, 2003 Hey man you best take a number! =p hahaha damn anthony you just came back and were already fighting over your frags! Poor little things are still babies for crying out loud! Wait I just noticed something your running 4 50/50 pc's so you are running actinic, a little anyway. Link to comment
anthony812 Posted February 27, 2003 Author Share Posted February 27, 2003 Desk - you are just so funny..but yeah..i have noticed no one care about my comeback except for my frags..hahaha Ben- yes..i got the idea from Steve, and i will start by this weekend..here in orange county..the temperature never goes above a 95 degrees..so i really don't need a chiller.just have 2 big powerful fan blowing on thop of the water will cool it enough..during the winter..i wil have 2 x 200w heaters to heat the sump (in the house) and that should be sufficient..or maybe even wrap the tanks around with styrofoam and tin foil to keep it insulated..there will be a green house style cover on the tank to minimize the dusts and rain..i don't think i will be having a sand bed on this tank..but again..you will never know..hahaha... I won't have my camera with me tonight..so there will be no pictures..i just added 50 more lbs of LR in my tank..so it looks fuller.. Link to comment

Congrats on the upcoming wedding, when's the date? I won't hit you up for any frags right now.....but maybe in the future some zoos woukd be nice. Link to comment

Crakeur Posted February 27, 2003 Share Posted February 27, 2003 First off, where is the algae? I hate those pure white sand, crystal clear glass tanks. So pristine. I hate all of you that don't suffer the algae. Ok, I feel a bit better now. where on earth did you get those corals? stunning colors. if you don't want to divulge your source, put me down for some frags when you are ready to start selling them. welcome back.

anthony812 Posted February 28, 2003 Author Share Posted February 28, 2003 Liz - thanks girl...u are always welcome to my frags..hahah cjm - i think its the same species as the tougn coral..i am not really sure..but it has a navy green tint at the base..pretty neat crakeur - its call no life..i scrub my glass EVERY simgle day..at least once! hahaha...and also 100 baja snails plus 10 turbo snails , plus a black tonga blenny, Cheveron tang and blue spot jaw fish will keep your sand bed crystal clean!!

cjm033 Posted February 28, 2003 Share Posted February 28, 2003 is it a pretty easy coral to take care of? im probly hopefully gonna get mine this or next week,Chris Link to comment
kimura Posted February 28, 2003 Share Posted February 28, 2003 Welcome back anthony812!!! Man you sure know how to make an entrance. Those are some of the sweeeeeetest corals i've ever seen. Esp. that acropora sublata sp. Well I guess I'm either #5/6 on the wait list hehehe....j/k. NOT.......but really tho, that outside frag'n tank is a really great idea. That's taking full advantage of your environment. PLUS it saves money so that leaves more for you to spend on the other corals or tanks!!!! Please keep up posted, and bring the pics. Link to comment
