Some of Mike's Tank Pics from the beginning (Dial Up Painful)

[MC Lighting]

ok so here are some pics of the new 90 gallon setup that I got from nomercymike please don't make too much fun of it as I am still trying to resolve my microbubble issues and have not spent much time on the rockwork... Only things in there right now are the mimic tang and the maroon clown /RBTA I will be moving the 2 triggers and the snowflake eel over as soon as I can catch them then the mimic may go over to the 180 not too sure yet...

And the New addition from Edwing206...

And the marron gold stripe clowns that moved over from the 26g...

Great looking tank. The fish looks happy, I bet it loves the extra swimming room.
What's that green gauge thing on the outside of the stand? It looks neat.

 

[MC Lighting]

its actually a gauge that I used to use on my diesel trucks they proved unreliable from the vibration so I had one more that worked it is a temp/preasure gauge the preasure is for the manifold on the baracuda and the temp is water temp... I will post up some sump pics in a bit so you can see al the other junk going on under there...

 

[MC Lighting]

Here are a few pics of the sump and some of the plumbin on the 90 gallon side also was able to get some better pics of the mimic...

And the mimic in better focus (still not perfect)

Nice meeting you yesterday Mike- your pictures defiantly don’t do any justice for your systems!! Let me know how that light works out- post some pictures when you get it set up!

same here Mike its nice to meet more people locally I can't wait to check out your tank as well.. I set the light on the tank last night to just see how it looks and its exactly what I was after perfect color and intensity for the tank. The 6-line has jut absolutly beutiful coloring under it. I will install the hanging kit today and take pictures...

 

[mtuttle02]

Yeah I’ve heard a lot of people changing out the stock bulbs for higher quality ones, but I like the color of the stockers best... I only ran that light 6 hours a day so that bulb is still fresh!

And you welcome over anytime to have a beer or two.

Careful Mike I may take you up on that beer So here are some pics as promised sorry been busy with work have not had time to do the whole photo saga but did tonight... I love the Sunpod over the 26g it looks great just waiting on the snails to clear out the rest of the hair algae that was left over from using way too much actinics since that was all I had for that tank when the PC bulbs died...

Luis here is the wrasse he is doing very well...

And some of the other tank mates...

 

[edwing206]

The wrasse is looking great Mike. Glad to hear it doesn't fight with the other fish in there.

 

[tamarindthai]

i was gone couple days,,i reaaly missed this tread,,,you got the really nice tanks,,big and small,,your power backup set up is very cool.

 

[MC Lighting]

Thanks Dang you and I need to get together again sometime I envy your tanks! Hope all is going well for you. Luis your right I have been lucky but so far so good that tank will get more rock eventually to give them some more hiding spots as I want to get another Nem to host my last set of clowns...

 

[mtuttle02]

Looking good Mike! I have an Emerald crab or two that I can spare if you want it- They wiped out a huge GHA problem that was on my MI rock that I bought.

 

[MC Lighting]

Thanks Mike might take you up on that for the nano the mexican turbos are doing pretty good but need a little more horsepower to get the smaller stuff in the crevices... How do you like the new 250 sunpod?

 

[MC Lighting]

I am really bummed! I came home to find the fairy wrasse managed to jump through the eggcrate cover onto the floor not sure what spooked him as he was not having any realtionship problems in the tank and sadly I was too late :-( This is the third fairy wrasse I have lost to crapet surfing and I thought I had this one solved with the egg crate cover! Sorry Luis he was doing so well no more wrasses for me until I put a glass top on the tank I guess that is the only solution.

 

[tallguy64]

Thats a bummer.... through egg crate hu? someone was determind.

 

[MC Lighting]

yeah I get so or he just got unlucky when he jumped and aimed really well for the hole.... The eggcrate is cut very tightly it has no open hole or anything since there is no cords etc to go through it.

 

[edwing206]

Bummer. Well, I'd put a screen cover. It won't build up as much heat as a glass to and still keep those fishies in.

 

[MC Lighting]

well not really worried about heat buildup since the tanks are all tied together so the heat can be exhausted into the other 2 tanks that are both open top lots of square footage open to the air.

I forgot about that.

The power station reinstalled....

Making some progress on the window seat and refacing the tank stand...
