diesel3443 Posted July 17, 2018 Author Share Posted July 17, 2018 Nice! What's all the green in the background?Mostly more acros. They aren’t all green though, it must be a combination of the filter and how far they are from the camera [emoji848]Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

diesel3443 Posted August 6, 2018 Author Share Posted August 6, 2018 I’m thinking about converting this 25g into a full frag tank(thanks Bpb lol). Thoughts? I’ll leave all the rock and just add egg crate over it Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jolt Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 I had racks over rocks in my frag tank for a while. It really built up detritus from lack of flow under there, so I pulled all the rock from the tank and only have it in my sump now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diesel3443 Posted August 6, 2018 Author Share Posted August 6, 2018 Yeah, that was my biggest detriment. Given this tank has no sump, I am trying to figure out how to do it with the least impact to the system. I am having a huge bubble algae problem (most of the rocks are covered in it) and its annoying me to no end 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am having a huge bubble algae problem (most of the rocks are covered in it) and its annoying me to no endVibrant works like a charm on bubble algae but it definitely has an effect on your tank biology. From observation, seems to kind of restart your tank and you have to somewhat cycle again... Minus the ammonia/nitrite stage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

diesel3443 Posted February 14, 2019 Author Share Posted February 14, 2019 I moved it to a larger tank Ill get the build thread started shortly. Or ask if this title can be changed, and do it here.

diesel3443 Posted February 15, 2019 Author Share Posted February 15, 2019 Okay, as a few of you already knew, and now that the cat is out of the bag, I "recently" (back in September or November) bought a "new to me" tank. Its actually Josh Avila's (of Pod Your Reef) old 80g Planet Aquariums tank. After going bigger (@150g), I feel like this tank is the sweet spot for me, no to big, not too small as I travel a lot for work and the larger tank just becomes overwhelming to me, and my wife when I am away for that matter. It needed a little TLC, but it came with the following: Tank & Stand Trigger Systems Ruby 36 Sump NYOS 120 Skimmer Radion XR15 G3 Zen Reef Smoked Acrylic 10g ATO Reservoir I will be recycling the following from the 25gal to the 80g: Radion XR15 G4 Profilux 3ex Controller and Doser Ill be adding the following (some things I had already, some I will have to procure) MP40 WP40 (I had this laying around, will probably get another MP40 at some point Aquatic Life 48 T5 Hybrid unit Mag9.5 for the return (had this laying around) Josh gave me a smoking deal on the tank and equipment, so I decided to clean it myself...Should of had him clean it haha. After a nice vinegar and citric acid bath Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
