Any comments, or things you would do different let me know.
Thanks

Sorry double pic my BAD:redface:

Looks awesome, everyone in there looks happy. How do you like the lights now with all the livestock added? What are you running in the second Phosban? Carbon?

way to go derek that looks awesome. i bet the fish are happy with the extra room now eh. and that light looks as though it puts out pretty good

Dude that tank looks stellar, However you don't have a skimmer:biggrin::biggrin:

Im running the new bio pellets in one and carbon in the other.

Thanks man ya they seem to love it. The light is very bright:biggrin:

Thanks man, I am running a skimmer you just can't see it.
It's a aqua remora C until I can buy a better one it seems to pull quite well:lol:

Derek, how's your system running? Any new updates?

Well its going through a cycle again, guess that's from the move its getting there. lost a few softies but I guess that's part of it all...lol got me a tunze top off system works great. My next purchase is going to be a new skimmer and 2 vortech pumps need to get some movement happening.:lol: you should stop on by when you can.

New top off "tunze"
 

Here is the new top off unit.....LOVE IT:lol:

I'm gonna have to get my ass over there to have a look.

Hey!......thats some pretty nice stuff you got there Derek!......tank needs just two more things:wink::lol:

Ya you better.....lol I have to get over to your place also to check your tank out.:biggrin:

And what would those two things be:mrgreen:

an mp40 lol. and a bunch of clams lol

Pretty much:lol:oh and new skimmer.

Two 40s would be sweet!.........but probably better for the system to get your skimmer first:wink:

Ya, my water really smells bad....would that be cause I'm using my Aqua c remora and it not rated for that big of a tank. or could it be the new bio pallets stuff i am using?

New toys need help
 

Okay everyone, Next week I will be ordering my new TOYS and Vor Tech MP40W ES. and the 2 Skimmers I'm contemplating are the Vertex Alpha Cone 170 Or The Bubble Magus 220 they are around the same price. Question is what one will it be....I NEED A VOTE....So i can make a Decision any help would be great..:lol:

Bump Come on peeps:razz:

vertex:wink:.....pushes as much air as a BK

Thanks Doug....Sorry to here about your tank:cry:
maybe I need to get the BK 180 MINI:lol:

Don't waste your money on a 180 mini. I would get a Bubble Magus 220 or a vertex 200 but for the money its cheaper to get a bubble Magus they are a great skimmer trust me I know. there isn't any skimmer that i haven't tried.:biggrin:

Well, I won't ask then:lol: Thanks for the tip.

there isn't much of a contact time when you look at the skimmer. great pump don't get me wrong small footprint, however the contact is what you need .... and its super quiet alot of the skimmer's now are coming in the super no noise mode....

what is your budget if you dont mind me asking .
in sump or External.
a fish room or under cabinet

well no more than $1000 would rather less if possible
in Sump 11'' by 17'' is all the room I have.
Under Cabinet. 27'' Height at most.

Well, I should receive my new skimmer today ordered the BM220 will have some pic up later.:biggrin:

Nice Score man, remeber use some vinegar to run for about 20-30 mins in a tube or sink and the pop it in.. mine is still pulling huge amounts of dark smelly stuff. welcome to the BM Club 220

Thanks man, I will do that:biggrin:

Nice tank, I'm tagging along :D

Thanks man....I see you have a nice build also:lol:

Well I got my skimmer yesterday....All I can say is what a beast:lol: Ran it in vinegar for 20 min then dropped it in my sump plugged it in and watched it pull the crud out:mrgreen:checked it when i got up this morning and had a half a cup full of black smelly sh!! was very impressed. Thanks skimmer man for telling me to get this beast.:wink: Pics when I get home tonight.

Here is a shot of the new skimmer.
