Or your lights are heating your water up. Oversized heater unless it is broken shouldn't have any effect. If it breaks and gets stuck on you can cook your tank. I don't think your heater falls in that catagory.

Re: My Oceanic Tech 120 and a request for input. No it is not here yet, I am going to try and stop by today to see if I can get a read on the delivery date. It is a very good point about maintance.....I think I am going to put the ATO in the crawl space and the fuge under the tank as taking...

Hey Steve. Why don't you sort of plan your tank around some of the group buys. Reeftopia has some great deals you can go back and look at what we pay for turbo snails and peppermint shrimp and you won't find cheaper, their fish are limited but cheap too. Be patient and you can do pretty darn...

I just bought my T5s from them. You can call and speak to them directly. It can be cheaper to buy what they have built in stock(ebay). I called and ordered mine directly but got them customized for what I wanted. They are still a bit cheaper then say Tech Lights that they are very similar to...

Re: My Oceanic Tech 120 and a request for input. What is the difference between starboard and a cutting board? I do not plan on having a bare bottom tank but I am chicken to put the rock directly on the glass. I know the bare bottom people have starboard cut to fit, but if I am not going bare...

How is your sailfin tang? How does it get along with your other tang? Thanks. By the way are you collection stuff for the swap?

Re: My Oceanic Tech 120 and a request for input. OK so I have some pics to post and some further questions. First I picked up a bunch of live rock from dflint and I got my light from Catalina Aquarium. So I went to home depot to get a couple new "tanks" for the rock. You can see the light and...

Re: My Oceanic Tech 120 and a request for input. I think I will give it a try. I have some eggcrate leftover so will give it a go.

Yep, and you can run maybe the maybe 2 Koralia full time and then put two MJ900 maker. That is my plan they don't have the GPH flow unless you mod them but they can be put on wave makers. Also the MJ900's use a lot less W then the MJ1200 ... so save some heat and electricity and sacrifice a...

I have looked at MH and T5. I think it depends if you like the color or the shimmer. On mine I don't plan on putting SPS on the bottom but if you look a lot of guys have T5 lighting and have done very well. Just a suggestion take a look at what people are paying in electric and figure out the...

Re: My Oceanic Tech 120 and a request for input. That is a good idea too...did you do that in your tank?

Sure well I am waiting for the tank because it is on back order but the tank was 700 stand 400. They are not the cheapest tanks that is for sure. Will might be able to match the price or even be better then the other price you are seeing. He matched an online price on a lighting fixture that I...

Well....I got a helluva deal from Will. Maybe they will go on sale again. For 300 Bucks more it was worth it. You get the better glass in the front, Euro brace, different look on the joints, and the overall look of the tank was important too. My wife and I both like it and I don't expect I will...

Hey Steve, well you can check out my thread. The other choice you have is the Oceanic Tech tank one center overflow. The 55 might not fit in the stand. I was thinking of doing a DYI 29G works you can get the kit for semi-homemade from a Pittsburgh outfit on ebay. I got an Orca sump 36x12x22 I...

Thanks pgordemer for all the information.

I went with the 120 for this reason. There are distinct advantages too. A 48 inch light is cheaper then the 72, you have more options too. There are the two new more cube sized 150 and 200 G tanks that are sweet...I think the one is 4X3 and the other is other 3x3? The 90 is in between the 55 +...

Re: My Oceanic Tech 120 and a request for input. Thanks for the great advice. :) Especially the ideal about the ATO that is a great idea. I do have room in the crawl space but it is not as easy to get to as directly into the stand obviously. I am for sure going to place the LR down before the...

So I caught some virus at a monthly meeting and, I "just had to have" a new tank. I was lucky enough to spread it to my wife, and we have similar tastes, so we decided on the Oceanic Tech tank. Then I was picking stuff up from Bill(thanks again for all the work), I was looking at his tanks with...

Carlos right? My green toadstool has more then doubled in size in the year. Very healthy coral when I got it.

Do you have a surface skimmer. I had that problem until I installed one on my fresh water tank. In fact I had it on my nano also until I got it tuned the right way with the surface skimmer.
