Makes me want to set one up now... :mrgreen: :cool:

hmm, they are red 'x's for me :sad:

I followed the link to the posts on nano-reef.com and they look great though! :cool: Its such a clean looking tank (not because its new, but so clear and well put together).

for those of you that can't see the pics:

Christy :)

Thanks for the compliment and for your help Christy. :smile:

- Chad

Weird they show up fine for me... :cool:

Wierd. If anyone can see them, it should be me...
:razz:
Might be a limitation on my telus high speed internet or something.?

- Chad

Chad....no frenchfries yet? :razz:

Hey bro,
No fries yet, knock on wood. I keep catching one of the GUI guys sitting at my desk though...

- Chad

Here's the thread at Nano Reef (kinda gotten out of hand though):

Now the pics don't work.

I looked at the links for the pics and the link looks incomplete.
It should end in .jpg me thinks. Go check the link and correct the posts and see if that fixs it..!! :cool: :biggrin:

Pic's work for me!

Looks good! :cool:

Did you view his pics on Nano-Reef..??
It was probably in your cache still then...
I think that is why it worked for me earlier. :rolleyes:

Chad:

Damn thats looking REALLY good! Hey if you want some 3/16 acrylic to make a cover (will help with evap) I've got a couple chunks here you're welcome to.

Can't wait to see how it fills in. Looks good now.

Let me get this straight - the water travels through UGF to get to the eheim? Interesting setup - isn't it going to be a challenge to maintain though - keeping all the deterius out of the substrate?

I'm trying to harrass blkwolfe to bring the digital camera by on his way down - moved the 2.5g into a 2.75 last night. Need to post up some pictures of the new setup.

Andy

Thanks Andy! I may take you up on that and cover the tank when I am away so that I don't have to worry as much about top offs.

- Chad

Looks even better when you view it for real than in the pictures. Thanks for taking me buy to take a look at it on the way home from the meet Chad. :smile:

Anytime bro, just watch where you park next time ok? :razz:

That's too cool..
What kind of Crab is in there?

Thank you. I've got a blue leg hermit and a porcelin anemone crab - makes an interesting centerpiece for a tank like this.

- Chad

I still think your going the wrong way, the tanks are suppose to get bigger not smaller :mrgreen:

Haha you're right!
90gal -> 20gal -> 2gal
crap, what's next? :razz:

- Chad

Hey Chad,

I picked up a Bottle of Rum the other day and it came with a free Shot Glass.
Think you could use it for your next tank.. :mrgreen: :razz:

Now heres an idea, a little little tank like 4" cube then put a box made of magnifying glass around it. huh huh now thats an idea. :cool: :confused:

Hi everyone,
I just got my camcorder working and made up this little video clip. Sorry that the quality isn't very good - I only have so much space I'm allowed to use on the site. I found that Windows Media worked best for me, I hope it comes through:

Cheers,

oh ya, and as for the music - it was all I have that kinda went with the theme... :redface:

Hey chad,

Thanks for posting a vid of the tank.
It came through ok. I would be interested in a higher quality version though.
You can email it to muck_max@hotmail.com. :mrgreen:

Ryan,
I tried but it turns out that our emails have even less sending capacity than the pinnacle host site. Let me know when you are on and I will send it to you over msn messenger.
Cheers,

- Chad

Just add me to your messanger list...
That way I will know when you are on. :mrgreen:

Just as an update, I have installed a new bulb in my lighting. It is a 13W pc with one side 10000K and the other side actinic. The color it produces is better than the 6400k bulb it came with. I am even getting faint fluorescnce from my mushroom corals.
I will post some pictures soon.

- Chad

got any recent pics of your monster :mrgreen:

Here' the new light:

Where'd the clownfish go?

I have replaced the clown with a bicolor blenny and it is doing great in this tank!

I am trying to chose what corals I can add to the tank. So far my zoos are doing ok and seem to be spreading despite the fact that they are a lot more pale than they were in my main tank. Mushrooms, colt, and xenia are doing great - no difference from when they were in the main tank.

At home I have some green and some purple monti digitata and some orange and some purple and some green monti caps. Would any of these keep under a 13w pc? What about a green candy cane?
If none of these are suitable options, does anyone have a suggestion for a good coral for this little tank?
Thanks,
- Chad

Oh ya, I would love to find a larger diameter fuzzy mushroom to put in if anyone has one. I can trade zoo frags or Canadian bank notes for eligable corals.

hmm not posting this pic?

must be to scared of the tang police.

Steve

Haha. Ya the tang didn't survive for some reason.? I replaced it with a mated pair of mandarins - hopefully they do better :rolleyes:

Are you for real? Your just joking right? :confused:

Anyway, do they make higher wattage mini PC's for that light? I know Panosonic has an ulta white energy saver at 26 watts that compares to a 110 watt bulb. It way brighter than any energy saver I've seen.

You could try monti caps, the worste that will happen is them fading. I had candy corals in a tank under NO lighting that lived, they didn't grow a lot though.

Re: reply
 

I believe hes running a 70W DE MH now.. :cool:

Re: reply
 

Haha thanks Ryan!




Danny, now you're joking right? This is an old thread that Steve brought back after he found that funny tang picture in one of my other threads. I was genuinely shocked that as a member of the FTOTM commitee you aren't familiar with my tank :eek: . Many nano reefers and diy'ers on the American boards consider this to be the finest piece of Canadian craftmanship since the Avril Arrow :razz: . This thread is really out of date, follow the links in my signature or look me up on RC (ninjafish) or Nano-reef.com (Fish) if you want to see where it's at now.
Cheers
