Folks, if you've recently upgraded or renewed your annual club membership but it's still not active, please reach out to the BOD or a moderator. The PayPal system has a slight bug which it doesn't allow it to activate the account on it's own.
Well it has been a month! Where are some updates? Photos Please?! :D LOL I wanna see some updates.. Hello?? Anyone home? Is this thing on?? PHO TOS...
LOL>> How's about an update there G? Looking forward to some progress photos.. :D
Hello Everyone,
Thanks for the kind words.. It makes this addiction all the more rewarding.. :D
@Reef, I could not be happier with the chiller. It takes care of itself, it keeps the water within the proper temperature range perfectly during the summer and even though I don't need to, I added...
well if you don't mind having all bland looking corals that will be fine. It's the depth I am concerned with more then anything.. If you keep them middle top then you might have some ok looking stuff. There are plenty of people here with t5 lighting that swear by them. At 10k you are going to...
When figuring out lighting here is the calculation I suggest.
Total volume of water / lighting wattage ( without actinics )
If you have 2 24watt bulbs at 10k you still only have 24 watts and same applies to the PC at 65 watts, so in total you have like 99 watts divided by 30gallons of water...
Thanks for the information.. I had most of the information. But the information I was given on the 3/4 was 1.5" not 1 3/8's. I have used your information as it seems to keep the hole a nice tight fit. Please check out my sketch and let me know if there are any ?'s or concerns.
Thanks again!
Sillily I am unable to modify my own message any more for atleast 30 minutes after a post. This is ridiculous. But what I was going to add in my last post was that if you happen to have a jebo then you need to replace your pump with what they sell online since the connectors are usually square...
Not sure what tank you have, so specifying what you need as far as a pump is not so easy. However, if you happen to have a AP or I think pretty much anything else but a jebo or odyssea or whatever they are calling themselves now. You can easily use a maxijet 900 on your tank. Stick with the 900...
I really like how that looks.. Really nice! I am going to be watching this thread cause I really like the sand color myself and want to see how clean it stays. I wish you all the best on this. Gonna be awesome I can tell :D
Hello there,
No ozone :D.. Well here is what I have to say about this.
Pacific Coast Rules. They really came through. They contacted me quickly and kept in communication with me. Not only did they replace the chiller, but they sent along some extra items I requested free of charge, not to...
I wanted to try and get a more specific size cause the 3/4 and the 1" have the same dimension hole and that seems wrong. Could the bulkhead just be thicker in size and have a smaller hole but be the same size as the 1" bulkhead? Don't know.
On another note, should I get the top quality...
Thanks for the information guys.. unfortunately RichT I can't find anything over there with specs.. and unfortunately Brian I don't have any otherwise I would not be making a bother asking anyone else. I wish I did have them in my mits :D.
Still looking for information from anyone that might...
Hello there,
I am going to be drilling some holes. I would really like to know EXACT measurements rather then suggested hole drilling sizes below. Can anyone tell me the exact hole sizes to drill for the bulk heads below. Also, the 1" and the 1.5" bulk heads are going to have PVC Street L 90's...
Well Well.. I see you are coming along nicely.. Things are working out for you pretty well.. I see you are enjoying the softies alot. So glad you are keeping this thread updated.. Just don't worry about people posting to keep you interested. Us nanites have to stick together. Don't expect much...
Man oh man has this tank come a long way... Nice JR! Looking *smart*. lol.. You have done an A rate job since the start.. So glad it is working out for you. Definitely post a nice STEADY FTS when you have time. No Flash.. BEA Utiful.. :D
(edited implied profanity - RichT)
Just get Joes Juice and cover the rocks in it.. I actually do this to my coral skeletons NOT THE FLESH before I put them in my tank. A little goes a long way.. then I just leave the coral in the air for a couple minutes or the rock for as long as you want.. rinse and put it in your tank...
Alright it's been a month.. well 2 days shy of 8 months.. I know from the main FTS you can't really see much, but I figured I would post it anyhow.. Here are some new photos that my lovely wife took under the new 20k bulb, which actually seems to be less blue then my phoenix. It is a coralife...
