    lets see some frag setups!!!

    No one wanted to buy our 20" cube when it was for sale, so it turned into our frag tank. Worked out nicely. A little cube frag tank next to our large main cube tank.

    240 cube reef tank

    Here are a few pics. Havent Posted anything in a while. We're trying to be entered into the bad photo club with some of these pics. A Fellow member was nice enough to be building the skins for us. The canopy is almost finished 1 2 3 4 5 6

    LED

    If you can do basic wiring and use a soldering Iron, its pretty easy. The only hard part would be drilling and tapping a large heatsink if you dont have the right tools. Like a drill press. It will also save you alot of money to build one yourself, but it still wont be cheap. I ended up selling...

    Adding Actinics?

    Just paid for a 2x46.5" VHO set up. Now I need to find another 2 bulb set up. Either 2x36 or 2x 46.5" Or do you think just 2 bulbs would be noticeable with 4x250wMH

    Adding Actinics?

    For some reason I thought the T5s were brighter. Guess Ill look into VHOs. Probably going to look for a icecap 660 either way.

    Adding Actinics?

    Do you think I would notice 4x36" T5s with my halides? I would love to run royal blue CREEs over my tank, but its not in the budget right now. I built my own LED light for my 25 cube.

    Adding Actinics?

    So I was thinking about maybe adding actinics to my 240g now that we are going to have a canopy and skin. The thank is 48x48x24". It has a large lip around the top. So the hole in the top is about 36" or so. Ill post a pic so you can see the brace. I currently have 4x250w MH over the tank as my...

    High wattage heater suggestions?

    I have a 240 in my basement also. And I have the 100 gallons worth of sump sitting on the cement. I figured it might help cool the tank with running 4 250w halides. I run a single 800w titanium heater and dont have any heat issues..

    Discussion on Controllers

    I started with a Reef Angel. It seemed like a really great product for the price, but it just wouldn't work with my set up. It has a 10amp limit if I remember. I needed more, so I sold it to a fellow reefer and got a RKL. It does all my lights, pumps, heater, and has a PH and Temp probe. Still...

    Is my Reef Doomed?

    You sure you got peppermint shrimp and not camel shrimp? I got a pair and they took care of my aptasia. But if they dont work, or if you dont want to go the fish route, I would just inject them with vinegar from a small syringe. Thats what I do now. Works great, but it can be a PITA to get to...

    Led VS MH?

    Ive run PCs, T5s, MHs and LEDs. Honestly Ive gotten better growth and color using my cheap 250w 20K MH bulbs. I built a led light with 39 3w CREEs over a 20x20x15" cube. The only thing I liked better about LEDs was the ability to change the color with just a turn of the knob. I had the Whites...

    New mini cube frag/grow out tank

    Thats one of the ones that got blown out. Its either Armor of God or Armageddons or Devils Armor. I can never tell which is what. Had no interest when I had the tank for sale. The tanks really too nice to be a frag tank, but its what I have. Frag rack seems to be working out so far. It can hold...

    New mini cube frag/grow out tank

    Set up the 25 gallon cube again right next to the 240 cube, to use as a frag tank/grow out tank. The 20k bulbs throw my camera off so I tried to fix the pictures. On a few the colors are a little blown out, but most are really close to in person.
