TheGrimmReefer's rimless 120g Showcase Thread

[TheGrimmReefer]

Lalani, I remember you from nano-reef...I dont visit there much if at all these days...that place has changed too much for me...

I request he be allowed to keep the top down viewer for another week; on the condition that he must post at least 15 TOP DOWN SHOTS.

What do you think?

Haha I'm up for the challenge

 

[Lalani]

Hey Sahin, yeah NR has changed a lot. :/

And nope, I'm taking the box back! He had it for several weeks before I was going to get it back, never used it. Then he tried it for a few minutes and saw how amazing it was, so I let him keep it. He still hasn't used it, so one week won't make a difference.
He can use it today and tomorrow, but I'm getting it back either Friday or Saturday!

Kim (Lalani) and you will be glad to know I took a bunch of top down shots yesterday with the Melev top down photo box. Hopefully, I got a few good ones. I'll post them up later today.

 

[TheGrimmReefer]

Okay, so I've had Kim's (Lalani) beloved Melev's topdown photobox for quite awhile now. I FINALLY used it! Only because she's taking it back tomorrow! So, here we go!

Awesome tank man!

What is your N03 and P04? I'm trying to figure out how that little skimmer cleans up after all of those fish.

How do you keep the wrasses from jumping?

 

[fishroomlady]

stunning pictures and corals! Love the LSU lobo! such unique coloration

Thanks! Nitrates are never detectable and phosphates are usually .01 - .02. I also have a BRS clear mesh screen top fitted to the aquarium to keep them from jumping.

Oh I see. That's what I have over my rimless as well.

Do you feed a lot to get those colors? What's your alk?

Sorry for all the questions. I like to know how others run their SPS tanks.

That's okay. I don't really feed that much. I feed SA pellets daily and mysis once a week usually right before a water change. I have 2 radion pros lighting the tank, I dose fusion 1&2 and KZ flatworm stop

Wow!!! Nice shots! Colours look awesome! The IceFire Echinata looks SuPeR SweeT! :xd:

How many cups of GFO do you have in your reactor and how often are you changing it out?

Lastly, do you have any idea roughly how many lbs of rocks you have in the system?

Thanks bro. :bigsmile:

Nice acros Grimm

Thanks man, I'm actually not running any GFO currently. Only chemipure carbon in the bag in the sump. If I had to guess, there's probably close to 100lbs of live rock in the tank.

Nice acros Grimm

Thanks Nitro!

 

[TheGrimmReefer]

Did a little rearranging this weekend. I had recently purchased a few more mag rocks to add to the rock scape, I've been running out of room to put SPS frags. I was able to move a few things around and get a rock put in place, here's how it came out.
Sorry for the blurry iPhone pics.





and.... did a little cutting.

Thanks Rick! You know what would make it that much better? One of those bad ace green sumps from Synergy!
