  1. Didn’t even know that was Ryan till now 😂 some friend I am...and ps ty, I need my sump back 😎
  2. Bought some reef saver rock for the tank, came in Thursday but now just had a chance to mess with it. I forgot how much I hate aquascaping so I’m just going to roll with this right now. Also picked up the tank and equipment from rca today! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  3. Gotcha! Thanks for the info, and by the way I checked out your frag tank my only reaction is 🤤....lol
  4. You think I should should go with 3 for long term? Eventually one day I would love to have a tank full of acros but that won’t be for a long time.
  5. Lol thanks, I went overboard last time and not trying to go that route again 😃
  6. So the tank dimensions are 47”x 20”. For lights I plan on using radions. I’m thinking 2 xr-30s (recommend spread is 24x24) should be plenty of coverage but will it be overkill? Or should I do 3 xr-15s? ( recommend spread 18x18) once I put the lights on I don’t want to have to add more or change them. What do y’all think?
  7. Got some stuff ordered today through Jake ordered the Red Sea 350 reef octopus regal 200 skimmer reef octopus various 2 dc pump new apex 2 ecotech mp-40s That should get me started for now. Going to start ordering the dry rock the next couple days and sand. Tank should be here Friday if all goes well!
  8. Yea I think that’s what I’ll roll with
  9. Lol well this is my last tank or my marriage so now my hands are tied 😜 I’ve already been warned if I go overboard again that’s it!!!!!
  10. Well I’m back after only being gone for literally 3 months. 240 is long gone. Decided to go with something a bit more manageable this time. I’m going to order a Red Sea Reefer 350 through RCA. Only thing I can’t decide on is what powerheads I want to run this time. I’ve done the neptunes, gyres, and mp-40’s. I’m torn whether I want to spend the money on the vortechs or be cheap and go with the gyres again. It’s going to be a mixed reef but I want to get into the sps game one day. Any advise to help me finally make a decision is needed 😜
  11. I actually kept the bashsea t-shirt that came with it. Ahh I feel so much better now not holding on to that secret anymore 😜
  12. Got your stuff for you! Broke down the tank on Sunday. Ty actually carried the tank out all by himself 💪🏼 Just shoot me a text tomorrow so we can coordinate pickup. Ps tank looks awesome
  13. But it worked.....[emoji57] Just giving credit were credits due [emoji23] and putting a disclaimer that it was your idea!!!!!! So proceed with caution haha!
  14. Ty always told me to try an introduce something that will out compete the Dino's. Read on reef 2 reef a lot of people were using vibrant and complaining that it caused cyano. So I grabbed a bottle hoping to get cyano and I did. I let it kind of get out of hand for awhile to make sure it was smothering the Dino. I then turned around and used Chemi clean to get rid of the cyano, did a 50 gallon water change and things seem to be back on track again. Maybe it was a fluke or maybe it really worked.....
  15. So sorry about your fish Ty, I'll make sure to participate in your frag sale to help with your restocking party ?
  16. I have the same exact tank as you. Funny I just bought a piece of acrylic to cover the over flow box as well. Having major algae issues in there. With my lights hanging it's hard for me to get in and clean. Right now I have a towel temporarily covering the overflow till I can do like you did lol. I have no algae anywhere else other then there. Almost looks like a refuguim!
  17. Can't wait to come see the tank when things settle down, I have yet to come see it in person. It's on my bucket list ?
  18. I'll take the watermelon stylo, pink stylo, rainbow stylo and green stylo if still available!
  19. That's not bad at all! Kind of ran into the same situation as you. Bought a 92 gallon corner tank, re-sealed it, and 6 months later found a small leak in the front seam where it meets the base today ?. Taking care of two tanks is getting a little old so I'm thinking about upgrading to the 300 so I can combine everything from the 180 and 92 into one.....I just was afraid the time frame was going to be to long to wait for a 300 so I was already thinking about plan b lol
  20. The tank took about a month and a half to get to my house. They were very quick. I know they were going to macna right after I ordered and they anticipated a little more lead time after from sales. This 300 build has been a part time job. Well worth it.[emoji1]
  21. How long did it take for the tank to be delivered from the initial order? I'm looking to upgrade to a 300 as well but wondering what the time frame was!
  22. Wally is a little cutie! He's still around, I just can't tell if he's eating or not.Do you recall how deep the water level was on those Bubble Mags? Were they BM5 models?
