I know that is what's crazy about all of this. The man upgraded, and the first day of moving corals over, he has no room for hardly anything else. Shoulda gone 8 feet!

Wow... Blink an eye and the 180 is full. Looks good! How bad does the house stink now that the 125 is empty???

 

[shellynjason]

Jay the 180 looks fantastic!

Well now you have the 125 to redo and fill up right?

 

[Dowtish]

Need updates!

 

[SmyrnaReefer]

A little lacking on updates but have a few more pics. i had a 10 gallon tank drilled to hold my skimmer, but i cracked the bottom of it so upgraded to a 20 gallon tank and i am much happier with it. i have all my returns (2 from display, 1 from frag tank) coming into this tank through filter socks on the left and overflowing back into the 100 gallon rubbermaid.

i also installed my tunze osmolator last night.

ok, its only been 3 months since my last update (work and tank porblems). im sure my club thinks i dont exist anymore. a lot of lurking, not much typing.

a few things have changed. the temp in my tank got a little warm for a few days. APEX said otherwise but 3 other temperature devices said about 3 degrees more. anyways lost a few LPS (frogspawns, torch) and knocked out a few montis... it was either that or me adding to much GFO at once. cant determine. things look steadier now...

anyways, more updates to come soon as i will be adding my canopy this weekend that will house my new DIY LED/T5 combo fixture. 120 3W LEDs and 3 80W T5 bulbs. ive taken a few pictures along the way and will post soon. here is one for starters...

 

[SmyrnaReefer]

Just a little wiring!

 

[nater]

coming along very nice. sorry to hear about the problems. we all go through it. temp is always a factor. do you have a chiller? and like seeing your going with led, that will deff help with heat, thats for sure. mh is a killer. keep the updates rolling, enjoy!
