Lizardarm, that's really nice, what kind of flow do you have in there?

 

[lizardarm]

thanks for the support,
i am running a mag12 through a scwd. i left the final pvc elbows unglued so that i could fine tune the flow out

 

[CarlaW]

Ok, I guess if I would have read a little further on your sig, I wouldn't had to have asked that
How in the heck do you keep it that clean looking?

 

[lizardarm]

well, i actually moved into a new 72 about two weeks ago, the old one didn't have a built in overflow, and i never trusted the thing to start flowing again if there was a power outage. so the glass is pretty clean. i don't generally have too much of a problem with cleanliness though, the critters do a pretty good job of picking up after themselves. i have to use the magfloat about once a day though, ever since i switched to the halides the glass greens-up pretty quick.

 

[lizardarm]

i had had a supplimental closed loop system that ran a pipe with several holes in it across the back bottom, to keep the water from stagnating. but it cracked a while back, so i didn't reinstall it. just moved the rock off of the back glass as much as possible.

Nice cap

 

[thetedinator]

Nice cap

Thanks! It's getting a little out of control.

 

[CarlaW]

Maybe it's time for the cap to start paying you back for all your effort and TLC.

FRAG IT

FRAG IT

If I did that, then I wouldn't know where all the calcium is going!

 

[CarlaW]

Oh yeah!!

 

[NaH2O]

Awesome tanks everyone!!

 

[Angelscrx]

thetedinator that is a nice cap. I like the way your tank is set up. Don't worry about the cyano I battled the same thing until I got rid of the crush coral and it hasn't come back yet.

the smallest acrofrag, has been in my tanks under compact flor for 1.5 years now
the monti the same, it started as a piece under 1/4" that lived through rtn and fraging off the little bit that lived. the two larger pieces are 3 and 4 months and the balislimer is 1 year from my other tank.It will be across two posts. Yes they do lose some color, no they do not die, they grow, and can be fraged off and will grow in other peoples tanks. I am getting metal halide I just have always liked the light pc puts out for the heat and cost. I have merlina, and two hydnophora as well growing in size under the same lighting. So if anybody wants to say its impossible, go ahead, I will just keep doing what I am doing. Ps, I have a elegance coral growing 8 months now under pc at a customers house, and have anenomes bulb tips that split and grow very well, kept in my tanks for 2 years and now in customers tanks all under pc.

Wrightme43, Very nice growth... I came from 175MH and now I am trying a 400MH. And its been a week now since i upgraded.... Still no change in colors of my corals.

Now I am thinking, is it really light? or..... or water quality and quality of foods you give them...

Even BIGT mentioned that he used to have VHO's and when he switched to MH's most of his corals turned brown....

I am so confused....

Keep it coming guys..... I love this thread...

Always include your specs please...

What are you dosing...

Thanks guys

How do you like your Seio's... how long have you been using it...
will you recommend it?

I have 6 96W PC on my 120g reef and I can keep watever I want In there.

Cesar,

I have been using SEIO's since they came out. I really like them. Great soft flow and hard to beat for the price campared to the alternative. One drag for me is my tank top openings are too far away from the sides so hanging with brackets is not an option. That means I rely on the suction cups which is working just ok. Clean off the area where you want them to stick (scrape away coraline, etc.). I may add more rock and see if I can support them in the rockwork.

Also, I burned a M620 out by using it as a wavemaker using my AQII. When I did that, I immediately bought another 820 and now alll of the SEIO's run 24/7 and the maxi-jets are the wavemakers.


HTH,

Ted
