Hey, Do You Know That Your Pictures Aren't Visible Anymore.
The System Sounds Good But I don't Know What It Looks Like. Bill. |

Aight, got the server thing straightened out. The images should be back online in 24-48 hrs. It seems they changed their name servers and they emailed me the new nameservers.... only thing is the account they were emailing has been closed for several years now...
Anyways, yeah, the tanks. Everything has been going GREAT with them. Work has really had me tied up here lately so I've had much less time to spend with them than I would like. But with all the systems in place they are VERY little maintenance. The glasses could use a little cleaning but all inhabitants are happy and growing. I finally found a vessel to use as my fuge. A friend had an old 55gal tank in his backyard (thanks hgreagan!! ). I drilled a bulkhead hole in the 55gal last night and started getting everything ready to add the final two 30gal tanks. I'll be drilling some more holes tonight in the final two 30gal breeders, then I'll be ready to roll!! hgreagan,-->> Probably will be chopping up that sun coral this weekend too be sure to swing by and get a piece. They're growing NICELY!!!

I wasn't in here touting anything BTW...just trying to inform you that Murphy's law WILL bite you and you will wish you didnt use a mechanical/gravity/float valve/switch type auto top off.
And if you use Kalk in your water which is generally what most people do topping off that much because of all its beneficial effects....try dumping 30 gallons of kalk water in there and see what happens. This reminds me of the saying: you know nothing until you know that you know nothing |

I don't use kalk in top off water. Even if I did, I seriously doubt 30gals of kalk in 400+gals of water over the course of several hours would have any adverse side effects.

heheh... Moses didn't build the ark.... Noah did. either way, why do you have such a problem accepting that something just works....?? Is it because I spent $10 on a well thought through solution and you spent $300 on your peon pump? (no offense to any who runs one, just not my choice) Don't feel bad, you know.... this reminds me of the saying: you know nothing until you spend $300 on a perilistic pump and get jealous at some guy on reef central for coming up with a better solution for $10 Gol--Dern!! Happy Holidays Ya'll!! All in good fun... right??

I don't remember and am too lazy to flip back a few pages, how was the top off setup anyway as I might want to use it for my system. I'm not using any pumps either, the cost of them failing is far too great compared to if you did it manually or had it on a gravity fed system.

Maybe I missed it but if you're building it in your "sunroom", are you not getting enough light? Why get more lights? Does the sunlight during the day not provide enough?? I was thinking of building a small greenhouse just for the light requirements. Or save $'s

Like the build bucket thanks for sharin it with us. It's going to be a long time before I'll be able to sneak a setup like by the wife. What do you plan on stockin/fraggin? Can we get some individual FTS's and some growth shots later on?

.... I'll see what I can swing on the FTS's Everything's looking really good!! I couldn't be happier. I had off 10 days for the holidays from work so I was able to devote a few of them to the system. I installed the last two 30gal breeders, plumbed them to the 55gal fuge, added sand to the fuge (about 6 inches +/-) and rubble to the breeders.
Mr..Tang-->> Although it is in my sunroom, the roof of the sunroom is tin, therefore no sun can enter through the top of the tanks. The Sunroom is windows floor to ceiling on three sides. The tanks take up an entire wall of windows. They get full morning sun, from a little after sunrise until about 10am. Then the rest of the day is indirect sunlight. So.... basically, I guess I do get some of the benefits of natural sunlight but I still have to add supplemental light. I ran the wire under the house (12/3) this morning to feed the system. A very dirty Job.... I hate crawl spaces.... Until now the tanks have been running off a regular outlet and 1 circuit. Although it has yet to trip or overload, I know I'm toeing a very thin line. So with the new wire the tank will now have two dedicated circuits just for itself. I'll be wiring 'CentComm' tomorrow which will be my electrical control center for the system. My mom, who lives in Atlanta has recently decided to get out of the saltwater hobby. I gave her a 55gal a few years back and it was doing VERY well, with GREAT coral growth and coloration. But, while I was home for christmas she decided that she wanted me to take all of her corals and fish back with me, she got a new greenhouse for christmas (for plants) and gardening always has truly been her favorite hobby. So after the holidays, I loaded everything up and brought it back with me. Included in the move was a 150watt Metal halide Pendant light and a 250watt Metal halide/T5 combo light. I'm not sure of the namebrands but they were not cheap fixtures (I got her the pendant for christmas a few years back). So now for the two breeders I just added, I have installed the Halides I got from her. So... as kinda an experiment I'll have a wide variety of lights and fixtures to test as time progresses. 1 breeder with 2 T5's 1 breeder with NO Flourescents 1 breeder with 1 150w MH 1 breeder with 1 250w MH and T5 Actinic 2 30 tall tanks with 1 175w MH Fuge with 4 Power compact floodlights 90gal display with 2 175w MH's and 2 VHO actinics for supplementation I'm gonna be the power companies star customer!! I'll post some new pics very soon!!!
