Sssssssick!

It's looking good !
How's the 4 DC 10000 working, is it working as you hoped?
I haven't seen any heaters in there? What are you using?
How many watts do you think this system is burning?


I just ordered my sump for my QT tank
I'll be buying some HHS in a couple weeks

Wow, that set up as a finished product is just sick. It looks spectacular.

Side note - are those plastic gold-fish bowl plants I spy in the cube?

That looks really cool, very nice! Have not really followed this thread now I see 45 pages of reading ahead of me.
I'm impressed for sure, a big cheers!

Thhhhanks D :lol:

Pumps are working great, actually had to turn them down a notch. No heaters yet, I have not had a heater in any of the tanks in my livingroom due to the in floor heat that keeps the room very warm. That is why I have a chiller running all yr round & it keeps my tank at a perfect 78*f

I have been meaning to plug everything into my Profilux power bars so I can see the power draw but just haven't got there yet.

Thanks Adam & yes those are plastic plants in the cube. We have a pair of color changing seahorse's in the cube and it is best to keep the tank full of bright colors to help them stay colorful and not turn black.

Thanks Monza, there wouldn't be so many pages if there wasn't so many stupid comments about a closed loop. Wish I could edit all that garbage out.

Here's a picture update, first 3 pics are from left to right of the tank.

Everythings looking great Greg!

Color temp is spot on! Looks great! Is that still your DIY setup?

Thanks Chris, still need to get some SPS colonies in there some where and more zoas.

Thanks Wayne, yes this is still my DIY build over the tank. Still need to get a par meter so I can test it.

Does anyone ever really have enough Zoas???? I think we could all use more:mrgreen:

Sand is nice and contrasty looks great. I'm crazy jealous of your tangs.

Very nice, I like the clean built in cabinet look

How's my sohal? Is that pic?

It looks sweet
I really like the black sand, it makes everything pop

I miss that naso, he was hard to part with :sad:

I didn't see a pic of the clown tang, did he not survive?

Sadly he didn't, stopped eating 2 weeks after I got him home :sad:

Awe that sucks :sad: I had him for about a year and he was a little piggy

Yes I'm still here........been super busy and not much really new with the tank really. I did make a small purchase to help maintain the tank. Took the plunge and bought a Genius Reef Systems Auto Top Off & Auto Water change systems after getting to see there products in person at a fellow CanReefers. Still dont have it all hooked up yet as I want to rebuild our well water room to add water capacity. Also going to add an RO system to make sure that my water for the tank is the best it can be.

I will update with some pics as soon as I give the tank a once over to straighten it out a bit.

:wave:

Back at ya Doug :biggrin:

Wow! Like i said on your other post...been a few years! Beautiful set up Greg!

Hey all its been a while.....

So made a few changes to the setup as of late with a few more to come. I ditched using GFO and went back to the bio pellets as well as added an algae scrubber to hopefully get my phos down to exceptable levels. I purchased a Mars Hydro 300w LED for the scrubber on Ebay and man that thing is BRIGHT but I am thinking I should put it on a timer to control the light so its not on 24/7. If anyone has an algae scrubber please chime in with what you got going.

Also after several yrs of service I noticed that my DIY LED's where having issues and with Modular LED no longer existing I decided to replace them with Radion G3's.

So I will have the auto water change & top off system installed after I get an RO unit purchased. Now I can here most of you know...."YOU DON'T HAVE AN RO UNIT YET!!!" Well in fact yes I do but its for the whole house to clean the well water which is horrific. The only reason I am adding an small RO unit is just to make sure that my water is as good as it gets beside on the plus side my filters, membrane & DI should last a hell of a long time.

More updates and some pics some.

Lets get some pics w/ da radions :D

Ok here is a shot of the tank with 4 G3 Radions, havent decided if I will add a 5th one as I have 2 more.
