beauty tank!

scaast · #27 12/02/2007, 11:34 PM

nice tank...even though the tang police are after you. haha Great rics too!

eco37 · #28 12/08/2007, 10:26 AM

yeah the tang police are after me. Do you think they would complain about a 8inch tang in a 6 foot tank? I see those all the time.

Any chance for a picture of the back of the tank and also the sump. Just looking for ideas. I like simple

Nice tank, and nice photography too. Two of my favorites: red/orange rics behind the clam. Damn those rics are on fire! Also, the shot of the birdsnest and the flame hawk has some really nice color. Oh and, thanks to your inspiration, I just bought a naso for my 29!

I will have some pics of the sump soon I promise. How big is the naso? Small hopefully.

Very nice! I love the combos of ric, clam, zoo, and sps. Great work!

This is the 90 elbow overflow I created by drilling a hole in the back of my tank.

Here is my refugium area. As you can see my temp is around 81 and my PH is 7.5 and I dont have a protein skimmer.

Yeah, Marty . . . simple is always better. I have seen some tanks with lots of expensive equipment and most of them are nice, but you can also get away with less. The most expensive piece of equipment I own is my Blue Wave HQI ballast.
I also own a
Radium bulb
Reef optix reflector
phosban reactor
Mag 5
CL aqualight mini 2x9w fuge light
Sea life systems refugium
ultra float switch
MRC cr-2 calcium reactor (used $250)
I think thats it

People give me a hard time about not having a protein skimmer, but the results speak for themselves. My corals look pretty good in a warm tank with a low ph and no skimmer. Go figure

racksteris · #37 12/15/2007, 11:36 PM

Nice tank, looks good..

zma21 · #38 12/16/2007, 02:22 PM

Your pH is seriously that low?

nybyrne · #39 12/18/2007, 06:12 AM

looks good

eco37 · #40 12/18/2007, 01:21 PM

my PH was around 7.8 - 7.9 before I hooked up the calcium reactor. Now it is around 7.5. Everything seems to be ok.

scottydo · #41 12/18/2007, 03:12 PM

Very colorful - looks nice.

martinphillip03 · #42 12/18/2007, 04:49 PM

what do you use to measure your PH

Marty

jimsta · #43 12/18/2007, 06:36 PM

His PH is really that low. I have seen his tank a few times. My PH gets pretty low as well.

eco37 · #44 12/18/2007, 06:46 PM

I use the pinpoint ph monitor. Sometimes I use an AP test to make sure the results are consistent with the monitor. I calibrate the thing every so often hoping that it is giving me a false reading. Its not. My ph is really 7.5

This is the latest side shot pic. Jimsta took it with a Konica Minolta Maxxum 5d slr camera.

zma21 · #47 12/18/2007, 10:12 PM

I'd do whatever possible to bump your pH up to 8.2 or 8.4

eco37 · #48 12/19/2007, 11:34 AM

Why ?

eco37 · #49 12/19/2007, 11:35 AM

Is having a PH 8.2 8.4 important? I didnt think it was
