as always your tank is looking very clean, looks like you switched over to zoas, to bad your not in edmonton, could use a frag of a few of those. everything looks great. i think we need a close up fts so we can see all the corals.
|
haha ya it is more of a zoa tank. there cheaper then clams, once im workin again i will work on my clam collection again.. i cant get a good close up fts, they always end up blurry. if anyones got tips for d40X let me know
|
Great clean setup.
No fish in there? Sorry if this is answered already. I don't see any but maybe they're good at hiding? Just curious. I have a similarly shallow tank (12") for my carpet but because of the two ocellaris in there I keep eggcrate on top because I'm paranoid about jumpers. I don't know how much a concern it legitimately is since they never leave their carpet anyhow .. but man alive it looks like ... butt. :( I hate having the eggcrate there I just wish I could figure out a different way. |
i hear ya, its a real pain trying to find fish that wont jump. the only fish in the tank is a damsel that was ment as food for my frogfish.. the frogfish never ate it.. when i get a bit more money i would like 5 or so blue eyed cardinals.
|
its kinda wierd because ive bought fish that are supposed to jump, and had no cover what so ever, and they never jumped it was an open top with a hanging pendant above it, maybe just give them the freedom and they will never feel like they need to :lol::lol: i dont know. just take it off and see.
|
tank is looking preety awesome man. i cant belive the diffrence in it since i picked up that asm mini g of you and it was just a bunch of panes of glass haha. how arte you likeing that tunze skimmer?
|
haha what a mess that was. the skimmer is good, pulls a good amount of funk outa the water.. id really like to get my hands on one of the euro-reef nanos they look like a pretty decent skimmer too
|
ya im looking for a skimmer for a 20 gallon with a 10 gallon sump i was gonna throw in the asm mini g but thats a litle bit of overkill haha, plus would fill 75% of the sump
|
ya? im sure the tunze nano would work fine for that i think its rated to 30g lightly stalked... i cant really remember or you could try the bubble magus BQQ that thing looks pretty cool.
just got back from AA and got a big probably 4" long chunk of pokerstar monti for $60.. seemed like a good deal hopefully i wont kill it |
ya i have been looking at the bubble magnus im vbery tempted haha id need to make a custon sump then something over 14 inchs tall it needs 13.5 inchs of water to mount in minimum
|
that wouldn't be to hard. pretty much just a standerd 10G with a few extra inches? should be about $60 for the glass i think.

had a bit of birthday money kickin around and wanted to up my turn over a bit
so from 300 to 600 gph http://i324.photobucket.com/albums/k...DSC_0001-1.jpg ceramic bearings http://i324.photobucket.com/albums/k...f/DSC_0003.jpg new plumbing. http://i324.photobucket.com/albums/k...DSC_0004-1.jpg |
Closed loop or return?
|
return
|
How do you like the Tunze pump? Was thinking about getting one myself for a return pump. How silent is it?
|
^+1...
I was looking at this pump but I've decided to go to a Mag 7 for more turnover... |
Ya...+2.... please tell how quiet is das Tunze.:mrgreen:
|
das tunze is a just a bit louder then the old ehiem 1250 i was running...
not to impressed so far actualy.. i did a water change this morning i went to plugthe pump back in and ....... nothing... not even a hum sound like the impeller is jamed... lots of bad language and a bit of fiddling... as in taking the return apart and pulling the pump out then putting it back in it started working again... so a few mins later i tryed it again and same thing happend.. ssooo its going back on the weekend and seeing if a replacment will change anything. anyone think it could be like a MH bulb and has to cool down a bit first to fire back up.. because it will only start when i remove it from the water and put it back in...???? |
My Hydor pump is exactly like that. The impeller spins but it won't push water unless it sucks air first. Doesn't seem to be a heat/cooling issue .. I'm not sure why it's like that.
|
hmm strange.. a bit annoying. i will see about getting a new one J&L told me if i had any problems to bring it back soo i shall. and if it does it with the new i will just put a threaded union.. probably should have done that in the first place but i wasn't thinking
|
One of the sedra pumps that feeds a euro-reef skimmer at the shop does that...we have to stick a finger in the input briefly and that seems to kick start it. Might be worth a try.
|
Well i never took the pump back because it started being normal. maybe it just had to break in?
Also went out and spent the rest of my bday money and bought a nice gold maxima and got a 2 for 1 florida ric at OA. 2 for 1 coral!... I dont think any reef person in there right mind could pass that up. Will take some picteres later if im not to lazy to bust out the camra. |
1 year
Ahh I have had this tank for 1 year already...

nice! you still got that frogfish in there?
|
Very nice rockscape. What are the blocks in your tank?
|
no, the froggy is gone, grew out of the tank fast.
tiles persanaly look better then bb, they arn't really that green its just WB on the camra they will be purple soon enough though.:mrgreen: |
I really like the tiles, where did you get them?
|
home depot
|
|
Very nice!! That yellow Monti ROCKS. Or it is more green?
|
the tile is a great idea...nice set-up!
|
I think its supposed to be a pokerstar.. but ya its more green then yellow and its got red edges.
|
|
|
|
|
Still looks great! Needs more clams though :mrgreen:
|
