      @juice yeah its the vinegar smell I wasnt expecting when I took a good whiff of one..

      Thank you sir! And one last question if anyone can answer it... This setup has no sump or skimmer. Think the nano power pack will still be ok?

    4. (Bio)³

      (Bio)³

      Looked into itmore and I'll have to end up putting a sump onto my edge and running a skimmer. I'll plan that for about 6 months out and in the mean time cycle rock and sand in the tank.

  2. Took the BML fixture off my tank and my cyano and diatom bloom both went away, moved it to a new tanka nd now its getting the issue. :(

      But what are the lux or PAR readings under the MH and under the LEDs? If there was a lot less light from the LEDs you would have had the same experience if you used a lot less light from a smaller MH. And since we want intensity and spectrum for our symbiotic cyano and dino in our corals a better experiment might have been to get and match lux or PAR readings.

      Well I don't have a par meter so I can't check that. But I do have some T8 in lid lights I can put over the tank also. I'll let this MH run for 3 weeks, then switch to those and see if I get the same cyano/diatom bloom

      Right on Brian!

      Rory, I can drill any tank thats not tempered. 10 gallon is iffy due to thin glass but I think we can do it if we take it slow and do it right.

      Brooks, When do you want to build? I'm going out of state in about a week for a few days.

    3. Brooks

      Brooks

      They have a very low stock of expensive SW fish. Extremely small amount of coral if any, mostly for birds and dogs.

      Yea. How do you plan on securing all the tonga rocks?

    4. (Bio)³

      (Bio)³

      I'll be using zipties, epoxy and glue. Possibly I'll buy some acrylic rods and thread/bend them to secure certain areas.

      I won't have the original top on it so it will be slightly funny looking. utting a VEGA over it.

      Well, just drill it then. Seems like youve already made up your mind. I dont even know why you bothered asking. Geez. Some people. ;) I'd use one of those really slim overflows like FB does.

    4. (Bio)³

      (Bio)³

      No I havent made up my mind I just wanted to clarify the look because i realized people thought it still looked stock. I still might make it external. Might drill and put the box on the outside then drill the bottom of the box.
