My 315 upgrade / rebuild

thanks Scherzo , yes I run 2 - 250 aquaconnects on the outsides and a 400 20k in the middle , this combo seems to be one of the best i have found so far for pleasing to the eye as well as to all the corals. Also keeps the heat down from running all 400's. The ATO tank is hooked up to my rodi with an auto shutoff that kicks in when it reaches a certain level . Again a great investment , as i use to do it all manually and you would not believe how many times i forgot to shut it off and came into the room with a few gallons of water on the floor , not really sure why i waited so long to get one.

Hey Rus the tank looks great! If you and I can ever coagulate our feces, i'll have those acro frags ready. Maybe we should meet at the LFS one day or I can come over for a tour and take that sump off of your hands. I'm sure that would make your wife happy! Mine won't be happy to see, "ANOTHER TANK!" PM when you get a chance.

asmodeus , i agree very happy with my skimmer as well , i remember having a bullet 3 skimmer and it would seem like like every couple of days i was fiddling with it to make it work properly , where as with Deltec it's almost like you feel you should be doing something to it , yet it doesn't need anything.

Hey Kieth , thanks man , as you can tell from the pics i have left some perfect spots for some frags from you. And yes moving the tank would make for a happy wife. Anytime works for me , let me know whenever it works, by the way when do we some pics of your new setup huh!

The tank is looking great! I've been following your thread on RC and you're really put a lot of thought into what you want this to look like.

Thanks Mark, It's neat to see someone notice that as well, I have been really trying to stick to my original plan for things , although like I 'm sure anyone knows it's hard to be patient as well as to realize potential of things and be able to visualize what things will look like in time as opposed to right at the moment. There are many thing out there that are easy to impulse buy without really deciding first if it is really part of our plan or not.

Thanks Vic, not real sure how to post that , although other than the early stuff you haven't really missed much, mostly just a bit more on the set up and fishroom side. I will try to keep this thread updated a bit as i go along , although i do admit writing these things down is not really one of strong points , as much as i enjoy reading others write ups I feel it's only fair to share a bit of our own as well.

If anyone has any real good links on balling method ( or 3 part dosing actually ) I would be interested , I have been humming and hawwing about possibly trying this method for even more ease and stability.
