nanoreefer11 Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 So, my corals finally out-grew my 20 gallon long so I updated to a 40 breeder peninsula style! Equipment list: Vortech Mp10 AI Sol x2 (in the mail!!) Hydor L40 Return Eshopps PF800 RKL Running 2x PC4 and Light Module SCA-303 Skimmer ATO To Buy List: 2x AI Vega upgrade Kit Ai director To do List: Skin metal stand I know you may be looking at the equipment list and think why am I using an HOB overflow, and the fact is I had such a great experience with the last HOB I used on my 20 long that I decided to stick with what worked. Furthermore, I did not know if my next APT would have space for a 3ft tank coming out of the wall so I didn't want to commit to a design I've never tried before. Tank has been up for a few weeks and I'm hoping to shoot some pictures tomorrow or whenever the dozen or so zoo frags and anemone decide to open up. heres my stocking list so far: Darwin clown x2 SA Six line wrasse Springeri dottyback ORA And to come: Midas Blenny 3x Blue Chromis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Planeden Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 that time lapse was awesome, hilarious, and discombobulating all at the same time. nice tank, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nanoreefer11 Posted April 30, 2013 Author Share Posted April 30, 2013 Yeah, there is one point where you can see me overflow my sump.. that was no fun haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Planeden Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 Yeah, there is one point where you can see me overflow my sump.. that was no fun haha I almost did that one day, twice. "the water in my tank seems low. Odd, it's not going up.". Then i was checking to see if it had enough room for power outage. I turned the pump off and the overflow drained. All seemed fine, then the return side drained. I had to turn the pump back on real quick and pull some water out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nanoreefer11 Posted May 7, 2013 Author Share Posted May 7, 2013 Sols, and I was happy, even now I'm missing the full spectrum, but I needed more coverage for the 36'' tank and I didn't like the light hanging about 3 ft AWL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ibnzmonkey Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 Nice lights! I just recently switched to LEDs myself and I don't know why I didnt do it sooner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nanoreefer11 Posted May 7, 2013 Author Share Posted May 7, 2013 (edited) Nice! I've been running LEDs for two years now, that full spectrum fixture was the best color I've had so far, I do like the controllability and features of the sol though. I've owned: Par38 Rapid LED Par38 Ledtric Slimline s-12 DIY led fixture AI Nano Ai Sol x2 Nano is on my GF's tank and as you can see, sol's are on mine lol Edited May 7, 2013 by nanoreefer11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
