Jimbo662 Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 Here we go again! I decided that I want the big tank to focus on SPS so I'm going to set up this tank for low flow things like rhicordea, rock nems, lps and zoas. Equipment list (so far) 2 - AI Primes Waveline DC2500 pump Ozmolator nano ATO Unsure on skimmer MP10 Special grade sand BRS reef saver rock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nori4dori Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 That's a very neat looking tank. Is it low-iron glass? I like the frosted rim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbo662 Posted February 2, 2016 Author Share Posted February 2, 2016 Thanks, I've not seen anything in the specs where it mentions it being low iron. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbo662 Posted February 7, 2016 Author Share Posted February 7, 2016 Stocking ideas. I'm only planning 3-4 fish. So far the plan is a purple fire fish and a royal gramma. Any other ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FarmerTy Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 Anthias? Clowns? Fairy wrasses? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbo662 Posted February 8, 2016 Author Share Posted February 8, 2016 possibly a pair of clowns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbo662 Posted February 9, 2016 Author Share Posted February 9, 2016 Slowly making progress...got the sand in and some of the rocks. I'd ordered 20 lbs and specified pieces about 6". Well...I got 4 that were the perfect size and one that was about the size of a volley ball...not gonna work at all. Lights are programmed and attached. Right now they're 9" above the top of the tank...may need to adjust them once the tank is running. Gotta order some more rock so hopefully I'll have water in it by the weekend of the 20th.

Jimbo662 Posted February 9, 2016 Author Share Posted February 9, 2016 I think I've tried to break up a large piece before using a screw driver as a chisel and it wouldn't break. I figured I can throw it in with my old cube when I sell it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FarmerTy Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 If you bring it over, I guarantee it'll be broken when you take it back. [emoji16] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimbo662 Posted February 16, 2016 Author Share Posted February 16, 2016 I got power cords rearranged in the controller cabinet and moved an EB8 over and got the new outlets programmed for everything. Got water and salt in but had to make one change. The DC pump I bought (smallest size) was waaaaaaaaaay too much for the internal filter system. I even backed it down to 2% and it was still pushing more water into the tank than the wiers on the baffles could handle. I put the pump that came with the tank on it and it runs perfectly...imagine that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimbo662 Posted February 20, 2016 Author Share Posted February 20, 2016 Got the additional rock in this morning. I think I've got some pretty good spots for lots of zoas and enough real estate on the sand for other stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimbo662 Posted April 13, 2016 Author Share Posted April 13, 2016 WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW...that's all I have to say!It's love at first site! This thing fits like it was made for the tank. Netting is nice and tight. I don't notice any shadowing at all. It still has the protective plastic attached to both sides so no chance of it getting scratched. This one is very sturdy. Very little twisting at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
