seastar12 Posted February 10, 2007 Share Posted February 10, 2007 I couldn't find it because I thought you would make a new thread, but that tutorial is great, especially the pictures. I'm thinking of doing what you did but just buying some metal halide endcaps instead of the regent fixture, but then I wouldn't have any uv shield, and after I cut the hole in my splash guard my bulb would be right next to the water which equals no uv shield plus no splash guard so I probably would just have to do it the way you did it(comments?)So the metal halide wires run out through the hole in the hood and are connected to the ballast externally? Oh, by the way where did you get your ballast? thanks p.s. I heard you mention something about starting a 24 gallon. If you did would you still keep your 12 gallon? If not would you consider selling your retro? p.s.s thanks again Link to comment

I think he is keeping the retro though, or hes planning to sell everything as a whole. I don't know. He's one picky mofo that wont make up his mind. Took me almost an hour to talk him into getting the 24 gallon. Picky mofo. Link to comment

quy_nquyen Posted February 13, 2007 Author Share Posted February 13, 2007 Wow, I can't wait to get my frag of the NGCC from Asin. The ones i have from PTF don't open up nearly as nice, but they are super bright however!! the ones from asin are really nice. i didnt think they were going to turn out that green! matt i got a nice frag ready for you. maybe after finals you can meet me at PTF for it. DAMIN YOUR TANK IS STYLI'N I ALSO LOVE THE EVIL ZOO'S .JUST GOT MY CHILLER ORDERED THIS WEEKEND TO HELP KEEP HIGH TEMPS AT BAY TOU JUST HAVE A GIRLFRIEND I HAVE A WIFE THST KEEPS ME ON LOCK DOWN AND THREW AWAY THE KEY I FEEL LIKE THE GIMP haha women... they just dont understand how we can love someTHING as much as them/ Beautiful tank!

If not would you consider selling your retro? p.s.s thanks again everthing is connected externally. i bought my kit from a fellow reefer that wanted to upgrade his lights. i think it's cheaper to buy the regent fixture to get the MH caps + uv shield than to buy just the caps off nanocustoms for more money. If i sell the 12 gallon i want it with the MH =] He's selling the 12 gallon. I think he is keeping the retro though, or hes planning to sell everything as a whole. I don't know. He's one picky mofo that wont make up his mind. Took me almost an hour to talk him into getting the 24 gallon. Picky mofo. that guy never contacted me! havent heard from in in about a week. we were sapposed to do the trade yesterday. this probably means NO 24 GALLON FOR ME Its seeing pics of awesome tanks like yours that sucked me into reefing ! Outstanding job. Glad to see your no longer on lockdown. Congrats on your clown host and good luck, keep it up.( its only money ) im still on lockdown. ive just been trading for corals though heeheh. im running out of frags to trade with though. so hopefully financial aid money comes soon . Now if only i can stop those green algae id be totally satisfied with my tank Link to comment
The Ultimate DanK Posted February 13, 2007 Share Posted February 13, 2007 As one who goes by Dank I can assure you that your tank is indeed quite dank. Link to comment
quy_nquyen Posted February 14, 2007 Author Share Posted February 14, 2007 nice tank! OH HOLY HORSE SHOES! adin commented in my thread! As one who goes by Dank I can assure you that your tank is indeed quite dank. haha thanks a lot very nice... MJD i hope one day i can break down a wall just for my fish tank. i guess that's only a possibiliy for those who own their own house. im only 20 so i still have a long road ahead of me before i can catch up to you! keep up the good work on your 90 gallon Link to comment
quy_nquyen Posted February 16, 2007 Author Share Posted February 16, 2007 i just sold the Eagle eyes, fire and nice and some goochester. on top of that i also sold the tank. what does this mean? well it means that im going to take 1 month off from reefing to finish paying off my laptop and UPGRADING to a BIGGER tank! i might set up a 24 gallon aquapod open top with 150 watt mh or maybe a 30 gallon tank! im not sure yet! what do you guys think? this 12 gallon has gone a long way. it's kinda sad thinking that it's sold here's a look back of my 12 gallon journey that's the laptop that the 12 gallon destroyed! the beginning look at how small my frags are! the algae that i could never kill garden Link to comment

Phixion Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 Wow, so fast and soon!! But it is on to bigger and brighter pastures very soon!! Link to comment
quy_nquyen Posted February 18, 2007 Author Share Posted February 18, 2007 do you guys have any suggestions for a new tank. i need it to be less than 30 inches long and about 24-30 gallons of total volume. im actaully think of the 24 gallon aquapod open top but would be nice to have a 30 gallon. on top of htat MONEY is HUGE factor =[ so if you have suggestion please make suggestions for cheap(in terms of price) tanks Link to comment
quy_nquyen Posted February 19, 2007 Author Share Posted February 19, 2007 these are the final set of pictures that i will take of the 12 gallon sorry for the crappy pictures, it was just point and shoot thanks to those have have inspired, helped, encouraged, and shared any kind words! --shawn Link to comment
Nolbi-Wan Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 thanks for the corals shawn... its nice to see where your tank started and where it ended. Something i wish i did with my old reef. Im keeping a photo journal of my current nano so hopefully i'll start a member thread of my own so you can see where your corals went. haha as far as new tanks..id probaly wait for those crazy $1/gallon sales at petco/petsmart and go pick up a oceanic cubes. if i ever upgrade id probaly go that route.

quy_nquyen Posted February 19, 2007 Author Share Posted February 19, 2007 thanks alot nolan. if you find a 1 dollon/gallon sale let me know! you should definitely keep a picture journal. i think it's very rewarding to see the progression of your tank. Link to comment

Thanks for the thread! Your journey has helped me as I begin my journey with a 10g. reef tank. Got bit by the bug with kid's 4-H project in S. FL and 2kids working in a LFS, one with reef tanks at her apt. Now that I am not working I am off & funning. All good things come to those who wait! Link to comment
