sweet setup may i ask what the tank costed you?


I got it barely used for a good price . The LFS drilled it but I decided against using it that way . He could not order another at the time but he quoted me 330.00 RR . I passed on a 93 too . So I took this one off his hands .



how tall is that stand. thinking of the 93 with the same stand

This is not a store bought stand . Home built 2x4 frame skinnned w trim parts . It is similar to the DD Monterey. It is 27 inches tall . It it slightly recessed . I can get the Octo 160 skimmer cup out with ease .I would advise 2 doors minimum . I can reach the bottom of the tank with no step stool.
HTH

I have a link so you can see the two of the four stands Perfecto makes for the 30 x 30 cube . There is a cheaper one called Ventura .

Perfecto Cube Tanks


Too bad u aren't local I know where u can get a slightly used 93 RR cube w/ welded black steel stand (not skinned ) for a good price . I passed on buying that one as I could not reach the bottom without using a step stool . I am a short person .

I don't think that lrg. bellus is going to allow you to have any other angels, she's a little testy.

Testy my foot . She was fine till u made her into a killer Bellus (pardon the pun ) . What in the world were u feeding her ? LOL So the question is will a smalll multi color get along with small female bellus . I prefer the Bellus over the muticolor .

B ,
Here u go .
The pole was completed and put in today . I moved everything over last night . I am still waiting on another t5 set . I plan to use them on the left and right side F-R for supplement . I took quick pic's . No close ups yet . No I did not cut the flow off . U can see the ripples on the surface . U cannot see the Vortex but I have it on the rear wall on the left side .

Just P&S with no tripod on Auto is why the pic's are crappy .

Temp set back .Small Coraluve Issue

friedmogul001.jpg



My new lumenbright pendant , cv adj ballst and RL 20k bulb went on the fritz yesterday . I got it to refire on the second attempt the ballast started making funny sputtering and smoking sounds . So I unpluugged it and took it apart .
The wire was fused to ?? and fried . Look at the mogul . I don't even think it was grounded in there . There is nowhere for a ground to be . IMHO it should be grounded to the mogul holder that is metal after all .
I rewired it with a PFO mogul but it's a temp fix .

Glad I was home when it happened . Could have been way worse .
