ReviloM Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 So after being down about having to rid myself of my tank. I started missing the tinkering and the complete joy of just staring at my 65 Gallons. So after gaining motivation from looking at illuiix's build, I decided to make a call to the housing office where I will be doing training. I was informed I can have a small size tank in my hotel room which was great news for me. Even though I would love to have a bigger tank but I'll take what is given to me. So I decided to start on my build. I had some water left over from my taken down tank that I hadn't thrown out yet (it was clean used water). I contacted my LFS and gather my equipment from my list. Tank: 10G Aqueon Tank (De-rimmed) Lighting: Kessil A350W Sump: N/A Flow: (2) Hydor Koralia 425 Skimmer: N/A Sand: Caribsea Argonite Sand Salt Mix: Red Sea Coral Pro Salt Dosing: ZeoBak, Coral Vitalizer Water-Changes: Weekly Corals: LPS, Zoas, SPS, Shrooms FTS Link to comment

ReviloM Posted November 24, 2013 Author Share Posted November 24, 2013 Added Images. It's not much but it keeps my feet wet. I will probably add some shrooms and other colorful zoas. There are no fish. I think i just may trade out some of my old equipment for http://www.nano-reef.com/topic/336517-radion-gen2-mp10es-reactors-rodi-unit-and-more/'>sale for zoas. I do however need to get an ATO Link to comment

DannaM Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 LOVE your tank! Looks like you've acquired some really nice corals. The kessil sure is making things look good in there too. I'm amazed you can run the 350 over a 10. I have the 150 over a 40B and it's growing stuff like crazy lol. No wonder your corals look good . Link to comment

The SPS have crazy polyp extensions are are growing. The zoas are multiplying like crazy. This one below, for example, two weeks ago only had 3 polyps, it now has 7. Link to comment

migs671 Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 i was worried that a 350 would be way to much for my 25 cube i guess this proves me wrong great looking tank also Link to comment
ReviloM Posted December 9, 2013 Author Share Posted December 9, 2013 i was worried that a 350 would be way to much for my 25 cube i guess this proves me wrong great looking tank also TBH the par isn't that high. It seems like the par is equivalent to the radion gen 2 on 50% with the wide model. Also, the corals I have in there were used to high par so that may have played a role as to why they haven't bleached or cooked away. I Also, i have the light about 6 inches from the water line (would like it closer). Thanks! Link to comment

ReviloM Posted December 9, 2013 Author Share Posted December 9, 2013 im in the market for a kessil would you suggest i get the 150 or the 350? Get the 360W. The 360 is the latest and it is better. I will get that later on. I dont think I will get the radion pros on my future build because I am taking a liking to the kessils. Also, if you get a bigger tank, you can transfer the 360W over.

ReviloM Posted December 12, 2013 Author Share Posted December 12, 2013 I am thinking I want to go a little bigger by about 5-8g. I want a rimless design with black silicon, starphire glass on 3 sides, and a black background. I also want to do a closed loop design to remove equipment from the display. Here is a rendering: I am thinking closed looped with a Hydor SELTZ L40 and for the heater, I can use Hydor ETH 200. Link to comment
ReviloM Posted December 13, 2013 Author Share Posted December 13, 2013 More Images. Also, could some please identify the zoas. I bought them because they were cheap(some really cheap) and they looked good. Wow, in 2 weeks - that's awesome really nice colors showing too. 4th image shows 6 and the 7th is under the big polyp.

And dude thanks man, I've never been an inspiration to anyone on here so you're the 1st ahah!! Thanks dude, appreciate it. I am thinking I want to go a little bigger by about 5-8g. I want a rimless design with black silicon, starphire glass on 3 sides, and a black background. I also want to do a closed loop design to remove equipment from the display. Here is a rendering: I am thinking closed looped with a Hydor SELTZ L40 and for the heater, I can use Hydor ETH 200. Whoa that is sick!! Dude, I'm glad you're switching out the tanks for a real rimless clean fit. Yeah, use a black heater to hide over the black background. More Images. Also, could some please identify the zoas. I bought them because they were cheap(some really cheap) and they looked good. 4th image shows 6 and the 7th is under the big polyp. Dayummm!!
