kush. Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 sweet! Nice to finally see another torontonian on this site! What do you plan to stock it with? Link to comment
toronto Posted March 29, 2014 Author Share Posted March 29, 2014 Hey Kush! Going to stock it primarily with LPS; hammers, torches , frogspawns I want lots of movement in the tank Iv done way too many sps dominated ones time to try something different Link to comment
xiaoxiy Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 Niiiice. I love those starphire rimless cubes. Also, sweet cabinet! Link to comment
kush. Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 If that's the aim, i think a golden torch would be awesome in there. I've always wanted one, but i've only seen one at big al's and all their shit is way over priced. Link to comment
Tripwyr Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 That rimless starphire looks beautiful. Can't wait to see this come together. Link to comment
kalireefer Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 Looking good, I've been looking at a 25 gal rimless cube lately. Good luck with the build. Link to comment
toronto Posted April 1, 2014 Author Share Posted April 1, 2014 Hey NR I added a couple tester corals see where its at corals are from www.fragbox.ca Pulsing Xenia GSP Acan Lord Purple torch Also set up the Halo by www.lightboxleds.com Link to comment
Kijho Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Really like your lighting setup so far! I may have to invest in this... Do you have it set on a time? If so, what times is it on/off? Link to comment
toronto Posted April 1, 2014 Author Share Posted April 1, 2014 Yes I have it hooked up to timer Because the tank is filterless and I dont like cleaning I'm only running it 6 hours from about 8pm - 2am This is the time I usually spend at my desk so I figure might as well enjoy it while I'm there Link to comment
Kijho Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Oh that's pretty interesting, so it's different from real-life daytime. Very cool. My tank's at home, it does get some good indirect sunlight right now but I'd probably be thinking of 11am - 8pm for my light. Not sure if that's over-kill though, I have a 5G nano. Link to comment
Lifer Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Toronto......woot, woot!!!! nice tank. You must be the boss, if I had a tank on my desk, my boss would dunk my head in it... Link to comment
mclayj Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Happy to see a Toronto build on the forum. I just found out last week that I will be moving back to Toronto in early 2015 after ~two years in LA. I'll definitely be keeping track of where you are getting all of your livestock etc. from!

mclayj Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 I certainly picked the right winter to miss haha My girlfriend and family are still in Toronto so it will be nice to move back (although I certainly plan to make the most of my remaining 10-11 months of sunshine in LA). Originally I thought my wallet might be happy with the move as well because its dangerous being only a 25 minute drive from Vivid Aquariums but seems like everything is more expensive in Toronto due to relatively few stores. toronto - sorry to hijack your thread!

toronto Posted April 5, 2014 Author Share Posted April 5, 2014 . You must be the boss, if I had a tank on my desk, my boss would dunk my head in it... lmao Yes I am : ) No dunking happening here I want more pics!!! Please! here are some Upgraded my light to the Halo Pro. 16 x 3 watt par 30! With build in fans. Color rendition is perfect. Not too blue not too white. Added some corals this week Acans, Torchs, Blastos, Frogspawn Link to comment
Kijho Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 Damn - I wanted the light you previously had. Now that you've upgraded I am second guessing - was it for a reason ? Was your previous light not enough? What's the Halo Pro? Link to comment
toronto Posted April 5, 2014 Author Share Posted April 5, 2014 Halo Pro is also from www.lightboxleds.com not formally released yet but I got a prototype it comes out 2 weeks Its par 30, white casing, 16x3 watt led with 2 built fans to keep it cool Halo was more than enough Wanted to use this one though to try it out and has a little more power and smaller footprint New duncan frag Link to comment
Kijho Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 Ah that looks so nice man. Do you think the original Halo would be sufficient for my 5G tank? Do you have an insider with them over there in Toronto? I'd like to get one for myself over here in Calgary! Link to comment
toronto Posted April 6, 2014 Author Share Posted April 6, 2014 Do you think the original Halo would be sufficient for my 5G tank? Absolutely Was enough to cover this 20 gallon well! New yellow / purple frogspawn right now Link to comment
Gramophone Posted April 6, 2014 Share Posted April 6, 2014 WOW. That frogspawn is gorgeous. You really don't see that color combination too often. Link to comment
