Looks nice
Hi Kyle,
Nice looking start. I hope you don't have another fire or broken sump water leak. Your mom says another water leak and you may be donating the setup to your school. You will have to make your own items without telling anyone, or ask an engineer if you know a good one. |

Anderson Ohio, robo repair... sounds alot like somebody I know, haha. Yeah nobody ever told me you can't wedge baffles in too tight. I may need to bring the engineer in on the next project. Thats if I can pull him away from the lights, for somebody who supposedly is not interested in my aquarium he sure likes to play with those changing the spectrums and turning on the moonlights to show everyone who comes over.

thanks New to the reef. I'll try to keep up the pics, I'm planning on picking up some sticks soon, probly some montis. That pinktail eats like a champ. I'm kinda worried about him going after the maroon but as long as i keep them well fed while the maroon grows it should be fine.

just a word of advice on the pinktail. Its a real cool fish if any of you are interested but when you buy it make sure they put it in at least two bags. He tore apart the fish bag i had him in with his teeth. If they had put him in one bag their would have been water all over the car. Make sure if you get a trigger to put him in at least 2 bags. Besides terrorizing the bag this is a sweet fish.

Just remember, if you have a Tech tank, the Vortechs won't adhere to the BACK glass. See the thread in the Ecotech Marine Forum.

sorry i've been busy lately i haven't been able to update. So pretty much all i've done is added another small maroon, trying to pair them up. I got my co2 tank filled finally and got that running today. Also my phosban reactor came in the mail today and its up and running. I've got some serious hair algae at the moment, hopefully phosban reactor will help me out a little.
Now the questions: brandon7491, yeah insurance paid replacement costs for everthing. I kinda spent all the money i got for equipment and livestock and put it into equipment for this tank. My parents gave me a little help too. As long as I stay out of trouble and do well in school they are usually pretty willing to pay for a little bit. I really need to get a job, haha. Joe, Thanks for the heads up, i never knew that. I think they will probably stay where i have them now but thats good to know just in case. RoBolton, thanks dastratt , 48 inch I series is the model. I think i was on the first shipment because they kept postponing delivery. It was 75 lbs of marco. One box of 50 lb i think it was fiji and and 25 lb box of the same stuff. NanoGurl, thanks dachsieholic, I love him. He is my favorite fish I think i've ever had. We will just have to see how he does when he has some temping sticks all around him.

What about those lights, are they really as dope as everybody is saying? I would love to know what the par rating is like at the bottom of that tank. Let me know how your temp runs too!

I dont have anything to measure PAR but I can tell you they are really bright. I may go pick up some frags this weekend that will be the true test. Yeah they are awesome. I dont know what your asking about the temp but I will try and answer it as best I can. M water temp is stays around 77 (heaters set there). The lights deliver no heat to the water. You can actually touch the glass shield that is about 1/4 inch away from the glass and its not even warm. Where the outward blowing fans are there is a little heat but it blows away from the tank. The hottest the screen on the front has ever displayed as the internal fixture temp is 36 celcius. I know, I live in America and dont know what to relate celcius to at all but I dont mind converting it. Its just looks so much more scientific with celcius on there all the time. Everyone who sees it always asks about the celcius. Its 96.8 F by the way.
