Got one box of goods in today!

This is just a teaser for my LED build which I will be making a youtube video about because I really think people will like my build. There is so much information about LED's out there but it is so scattered it literally takes weeks to put it together.... Sooo basically the video will try and help people who do not have weeks of their life to devote to a build be able to find some information out.

Anyway in this box are two hydor evo 550's and a Ac jr.

Here is a pic of the way I set up the powerheads...

So far the way they are facing is really pushing some serious current through the tank... Once I get the AC JR set up with occilate I think that these powerheads are going to move some serious water...

On a sad note I locked myself out of my AC JR. after playing with it for about 15 minutes lol.... So I have to call neptune tomorrow... Man they should say in the manual not to turn off DHCP unless you wrote down the IP address lol!!!

Haha thanks for the info. I locked myself out by turning DHCP off in order to use a DNS... Wish it was as simple as forgot my password!

is anyone on here experienced with the AC JR? I have accidently locked my self out of it lol. Any help would be much appreciated.

it looks like there is monopoly and some tater tots on the ground lol!

I do all of those things you described and it has scuffed my glass all up why is this happening?

thanks!

Sold

Does anyone know of any place in Texas pref Austin that can cut glass for a small aquarium? I am making a 5-6 gallon custom nano but cannot find glass cutters. Thanks!

still available to anyone...

I am installing a DIY led on my hood. I have savaged the internet looking for compatabile affordable controllers and I have put together a great kit. I will a DIY thread for this LED build because after days of not finding what I wanted I think others will also be interested in this build. It is interesting because with the $70 controller you can control up to four seperate sets of lights (whites, blues, violets), fans, and moonlights! I have not seen anyone do this for 70 dollars. Also, the controller features a daylight and moonlight timer that dims and brightens the lights over time. This build will be really cool! If you are interested in watching on it I will make a thread for it as well as post it on this tank thread. Lastly, thank both of you for the compliments!

Ohh by the way if you haven't noticed from the first to the last pictures you can no longer see any filter hanging down! That is because I finished and implemented my nearly invisible, completely quiet, and fail safe overflow/sump design! I find this to be really cool because you cannot see and pipes or anything and the tank is not drilled! Took some work but finally got it working properly...

Here is the finished product but there are two things to keep in mind. First, the angle of the camera makes the hood look larger than it really is. Last, the light that can be seen coming from the top is only because the hood is slightly proped open because a pipe was running under it but can easily be closed. Now just need to get my LED's put in there. Feel free to ask any questions...

I call it my G-tank for obvious reasons (My last name is Goodwill)

More mods to come!

probably a BTA actually...Zilker If I come anytime soon I will let you know. Thanks.

bump, there now hosting the anenome.

I plan on keeping SPS corals and want to know what size koralia evo I should put. I was thinking the 550's but I want to get some other opinions. Thanks.

Okay, so this is my new canopy that will house my LED build when it is finished. There is a little twist with this hood as you can see the front panel has a hole in it. I have taken a piece of acrylic and turned it into a light diffuser. I have created the letter G that will go on the acrylic and will be attached to the small wooden door. The door will be covered in trim so it will not look like a door at all. The acyrilic will light up with either lights from my LED's or I will add a seperate light when it is done.

This is my ten gallon sump that has some cheato in it that was given to me by Robb in Austin! I am going to put some mangroves in their soon.

This is the canopy I am building to hold my new LED build once it is finished. So far the hood has been very flush looking.

Thanks for the answers guys. BTW Mark I enjoy watching your show!

I want to buy dead rock to seed with my live rock but where can you buy it affordably? online and retail

Got the chaeto today and it looks great! I threw it into my sump and cant wait to see it grow. Again thanks for shipping it to me

haha this always happens. Some people think nerite and some say collonista!

great write up thanks timfish!

Are these little nerite snails? Thanks!

thanks for the info! anyone else have opinions?

What are some beneficial critters to put in there that will not eat my coepods? Thanks!
