Yes, heard that a few times. I decided to take my chance. So far so good. It's a scribbled rabbit as well....

My Tank has about 40 fish, is 600g SPS mostly.

Heres a pic....

the ater 8is a little cloudy since I had been cleaning pumps and blown some sand around the tank.

wizsmaster · #**131** 08/16/2007, 11:41 AM

very nice. How long has this tank been setup?

I'll have to add .. my tank is fairly new ... setup about 6 months ago, and been adding coral frags heavily in the past 2-3 months. I buy mostly frags, no large colonies.

Very nice tank everyone.
Wizsmaster, you have 12-15 tangs? Wow, I think I need more then.
Pwhitby, your tank is so BIG and pretty.

Here are some pics of my tank.
They are not new though.
I will take some new pics and post soon.

Tank: 300g (5x4x2tall)
System: ~400g (300g SPS, 75g LPS, 90g sum)
Fish: 6 tangs, 1 magnificent foxface, and about 20 small fish)

This pic is about 3 weeks old.

ATB USA · #**137** 08/16/2007, 06:33 PM

How big is that efflo and how long have you had it.
tank looks great
thanks

GSMguy · #**138** 08/16/2007, 07:43 PM

your tanks are more awsome than your skimmers guys.

Deepsea2005 · #**139** 08/16/2007, 07:50 PM

Thank you Randy and Victor.
Victor, I have the efflos since 2004. The big one is 2' diameter.

My clowns like my new skimmer just caught this action today

Que the cheesy music... chek abow now...

GSMguy · #**141** 08/16/2007, 07:55 PM

how long did you have those percs in there before the skimmer, the water quality could be inducing them to spawn. but i havent heard of that before.

ranran · #**142** 08/16/2007, 07:58 PM

I have had them for a little over 7 years and they do a lot of spawning.
they have outlasted a few marriages that I know

danskim · #**143** 08/19/2007, 01:06 AM

Man the skimmer looks awesome.
So will there be an update to the current sized skimmer?

JenDub · #**144** 08/19/2007, 09:55 AM

What is the preferred feed pump? How many GPH?

I just picked one up at Reef-a-palooza and now I gotta figure out how to get it set up. Also, have any of you flooded/overflowed the skimmer?

Can't you just use the drain on the dart impeller housing to drain the skimmer? Maybe there is a fitting that could be screwed into this to make it easier to drain?

Randy you should have included a FTS earlier I would have jumped in a lot faster!!! Love the tank!!!

pwhitby · #**146** 08/19/2007, 11:50 AM

well, I have ahd my skimmer approaching 6 weeks now and Im still amazed at how well it is performing.

Since my skimmer is in the garage I removed the little silencer doo-dad at the top of the air intake in the hopes it may bring more air in with less restriction. It is slightly noisier, but barely noticable. I do think there is more air flow as the water level rose somewhat, but not a great deal.

I still pull copious quantities of gunk, but I am feeding a little heavier now.

I should get my 100g refugium online later today !! woohoooo
at my age getting ecited about the chance to do a little plumbing....

heres a shot of my fish room, as it is now - on its way to completion.

Paul.

pwhitby · #**147** 08/19/2007, 11:53 AM

and if by chance you are curious as to all the pipes....

I have yet to fit the shelves above the sump and the bench above the refugium for the frag tank....but its getting there.

I also have to get the electricals run in panduit. The extension cords in the picture are there temp while im fitting equipment.

on a side note, the lack of a drain plug in the Reeflo made me take time to fit a drain plug on my refugium.

Paul.
