How big is that trigger tank ?....I thinking of doing a FOWLR

hi, sorry for the slow reply. thanks for the comments. the trigger tank is 90gal. as for equipment im running, eheim 2080 canister, aquamedic turboflotor multi skimmer, 2 tunze nanostreams and a hagan glo HO t-5 actinic and power glo.

hey, long time no post. thought i would share a couple of poor pics of new setup. also, a comparison of my nano. i moved and left it under someone else's care until i could move it to my new place. i have to assume that move had its own toll on the reef as well. anyway, here are the pics...

trigger tank,

nano,

Iam looking to get a 150w viper halide for my NC24. Anyone have any experiance with one, or has one right now. Your opinion and experiances would be great.

i have one on my nc24. i love it!! i really have nothing bad to say about this light. just be carful...you can easily burn yourself on the fixture!! if you look through the marine pics section there are some pics of my nc24 progress.

HTH

thanks for all the compliments...i still think mine looks very plain though. i guess you want what you dont have. im sure everyone elses tanks are equally nice..or even better looking than mine.

thanks again,

-paul

i have a sixline wrasse, some blue knuckle hermits, purple coral banded shrimp, an anemone and soon i will have a pair of two spot gobies.

-paul

thought i would share an update pic of my tunze powered nano cube 24. my clams are also doing really well in this set up. its been real hard not to jam everything i see into my tank. but so far i have had no major problems with this setup...enjoy the shot!

about 2 months ago...

taken today...

thanks for looking,

-paul

drilling holes is permenent. if you add spray bar pieces, you can remove them for future use.

-paul

if your are using a spraybar you can just add to the total length of it. this will weaken the flow. IMO if you close the valve a bit you might shorten the pump life. you can buy eheim sprybar pieces at picses.

-paul

hey, thanks for the comment. why are you going to wait?? just curious.

-paul

WOW those are very perty! Where did you find those? I have scoured the city looking for different colors and never find anything like that.

wendy, i got these guys from golds. i find they look much more colourful under my 14000k vs there 20000k bulbs. when i picked the blue one out it looked blue and white. i got it home and...well youve seen the pic....nice gold colour where i thought it was white.

-paul

well i picked my clams today. thought i would show a quick pic. here they are right out of the bag.

enjoy!

thanks,

-paul

tim, thanks for the input. i have alreadt totally changed the design. actually i am installing the last baffle as i type this. i will share pics whn im done.

thanks,

paul

i fed my african tank 1mm. even the 11.5 venestus thrives on the 1mm.

i agree with neil's reason for this post.

-paul

this mud will act as my main filtration. breaking down ammonia into nitrates and so forth.

as for the baffle spacing. i have read that 1" is a good space. this will serve as a bubble trap.

thanks,

-paul

well, i have made a very rough drawing using ms paint(please dont laugh at it). this will be a small 10-20 gal sump. can somebody please chime in and let me know if this is even a plausable design. any suggestions would greatly be appreciated.

thanks in advance,

-paul

hey, nice addition!! i hope to join club soon.

-paul

i run an eheim 2080 and live it. super easy to maintain and makes almost no noise. by far the best canister i have owned. a little pricey but i think it is worth it in the long run.

-paul

nice shrooms!! i also like the anemone shot. i have the some kind...i think

-paul

haha i just noticed that my lawnmower blenny is behind the blue sponge...too funny.

-paul

thanks guys, the light is currently a 150w MH jbj viper. looking into solaris led, but i think the price might a little out of reach right now.

-paul

-paul

-paul

-paul
