  1. Someone buy his ballast!!!!!! That's a great deal for them brand new they are $140 each!
  2. ya i thought about that i have a shelf i just need to intall it just havn't had time to but for now even if power go's out my sump can hold the water that drains down i've tested it several times as i've had my sump overflow before not fun
  3. thanks not much really under the tank i got my sump which is a 40 gal breeder i put some glass baffle's in. to the right i got my drains to my socks and my sm201 skimmer (this skimmer is a beast), in the middle i decided to try a frag rack with 175w mh above it, and to the left is just the return pumps 1 to tank and 1 to my chiller. Currently just running 1 of my two little fishies reactor for carbon. going to put my other one's on soon, one w/ rowaphos and can decide if i wanna go zeovit or biopellets on this system. Also got my 20 gal tub for my ATO which i just picked up a tunze Osmolator to replace my jbj ATO (thanks chad and bellinda) that way i can go 1 to 2 weeks w/out refilling it. I have my controller on the wall to the right and lumatek dimmable ballast and calcium reactor on the floor. My AquaEuro 1/2 hp chiller is on the left. If anyone is good at making my wires look better as in neater look i'll give them a frag for doing it for me. i just cant seem to get it to look nice. In my canopy just got 2 spider reflectors w/ 400w mh 12k reeflux and 48"blue stunner strip and i think i am going to add a white Also got 6 fans 3 blowing in air 3 on top sucking out the heat
  4. i'm looking for some nice zoa's i would really like bambam's blue hornet aquaman zoa's just looking for nice ones
  5. April update My tank is almost full blown sps tank. I already see growth in my corals and color starting to come back. I already have to turn on the calcium reactor to keep my alk/calcium up. almost lost my red planet but i chopped it up and have several frags/mini colonie's of it now This is what I've added in the past 3 weeks 48" blue stunner strip decided to go 400w instead of 250w and got new 12k reeflux bulbs fish 6 x chromis small purple tang leopard wrasse blue neon goby 3x sunburst anthias melanurus wrasse green corse wrasse corals greg hiller's aqua marine jewel (been trying to get this coral for a year) frog spawn colony st thomas mushroom (1 red , 1 blue) duncans and about 7 other sps i dont know the name too

  7. ya i got his number txt me lmk
  8. yes controller and photo sensor for when you lights are off it turns off
  9. manual states wavebox 6212 if that helps
  10. Got this full size wave box from Dena a month ago and decided to go a different route asking what i paid for it $250
  11. Thanks , there is definitely more room lol lost a lot of color in my coral so just got to play the waiting game Went to rca today to pick up my rbta's thanks Jake for holding them. While I was there I bought some new fish a melanurus wrasse, leopard wrasse, and green corse wrasse Hope my anemone find a home away from my coral *fingers crossed*
  12. Got everything set up and done today. All the hard work paid off I love the tank and the fish are doing great. My corals lost alot of color. AlsoHad a handful of corals took a huge hit (especially my pearl berry and hawkins) hopefully everything will recover I did lose some colonies not too many. most my coral seem to be doing fine but only time will tell. made many frags in the move but I got to use my new frag rack that John at Aquamag custom made for me. stayed up to 3am on sat dipping every coral and putting them in the tank. sunday I did the rock scape (diid it in 30 mins so not super great) and also glue'd my coral down. today got the Aqua Euro 1/2 hp chiller (awsome chiller), ATO, calcium reactor set up. Also put the doors on canopy and stand. only thing left to do is 2 phosban reactors (carbon and rowaphos) and organize the plugs and set up the programs for my apex. right now on my tank i got 1 20k radium and 1x 10k reeflux
  13. I finally got to upgrade from my 90 gal. About a month ago I had Jake (at RCA) order me a new DSA 190. I wanted it to be eurobraced but it was going to cost much (which i might of been willing to pay) but i found out the center brace is only 2" brace and not the large glass kind either! So we ordered the 190 with centerbrace and a center overflow w/ 2 return and 2 drain holes. It got here with in a week way earlier then expected. I decided to build my own stand and canopy and finaly got them done and painted last week ( thanks for everyone help!). I broke down my 90 gal about a week ago and put all my fish and coral in a big troff ( not sure what its called). On Monday 03/12/2012 we moved the tank into the house and started setting it up. I decided to use my old water but none of the live rock. I got a good amount of dry rock from Prof. and some more from rivercity (thanks!). So far i just got the sand, rock and powder blue ( just got him last week). I am still working on the plumbing and setting up all the equipment underneath the tank. Hoping to have everything done tomorrow. I am going to use this thread and try and update each month with the progression of the tank. my set up DSA 190 Skimz 201 skimmer ( this skimmer is a beast) 2x250 mh or 400 mh 40 gal breeder turned into sump w/ a section for frags and using a 175w mh about it. 2 mp40w es Tunze wave box ( may sell this and get 2 more mp40's) Reeflow external pump 2 phosban reactors ( carbon and rowaphos) Calcium reactor 1/2 hp aquaeuro chiller w/ mag 7 Apex light zeovit system JBJ ATO with 20 gal bucket.

  17. I have some but not very much at all like 1/5th of a sandwich bag
  18. Nice stand but could you of just cut an inch or so off the steel stand and re weld it together so that is 35" tall ?
  19. Hey that was the coral I wanted from rca too bad I can't buy any coral right now
  20. I am in the process of building a stand and I wanted to know what everyone's thought on how to build one and what they would use. I was thinking of using 2x4's then cover it with plywood. Or go just 3/4" plywood. I have looked at stands they sell in the stores and its all plywood. This is going to be for a 190gal tank. I am not looking to make a steal/metal stand. Would like to get some opinions.
  21. That's awsome I wish I could get my girlfriend to want a tank
