ADA 60p Tank Journal

[soymilk]

Hey have you seen this overflow? Looks pretty cool, hand blown glass like the lily pipes.

Priecy though.

[myjohnson]

Yeah, I saw those on nano-reef.com.

If I go sump, I get an eshopps overflow box. I'm going black background also.

I think I'm order two PAR30s from boostLED. Trying to trick ssrpresule (Jim) into getting some with me.

I'm order two 3blue/2white 60 degree optics. They say it should look like 14K. Try them out on my tank. I'm still look for some cleaner stuff in VN. I figure for 60 a pop I would give these a try.

btw, mame is coming to the US. Their stuff looks pretty gangsta.

Are you going with a premade sump or have one custom built?

[myjohnson]

vanson,

Haven't decided on that yet. You got something for sell foo?

[myjohnson]

Well, I finally got around to scaping the tank and starting the cycle.

This is the first version. Let me know what you guys think. I did the two island scape for my ADA 45-f so I wanted to try something new with this tank.

It doesn't have sand yet but I'm going to add that in tomorrow night.



p.s. sorry for the bad camera phone picture.

You can borrow my fishneedit MH if you want til you fig out what you wanna do for a light. I just tore down my planted tank. Might be a while before i reboot it. Still need to give justin the ok to start that stand.

your scape almost kinda reminds me of

Maybe try to angle is to give a bit more depth? Thinking about giving up the mp10. Corals are expensive

[myjohnson]

dude, time to sell it to me!

I got cash and you know it.

Hey, what color PAR 30 bulbs should I get?

I'm getting 2 of them. They offer 14k, 20K, and all blue.

I'm thinking either two 14k or one 14K and one 20K.

I read that LED K values don't look the same as PC, t5, or MH.

p.s. that links to an elos tank....I'm can't hang with y'all.

[soymilk]

125 sound alright?

It's hard to say, but I like 20k for zoas. The royal blue LEDs make zoas pop like crazy.

I just like the scape on that elos tank. You gotta say it's nice.

[myjohnson]

125 for the mp10w?

Regarding the elos tank, fo sho that's super pimp!

He got the same light as you too.

Personally, I like this one better: http://www.nano-reef.com/featured/?tank=36

But I can't hang with all that.

[soymilk]

It's not wireless. They didn't start making the mp10 wireless till this new es model. It's just the last model. Nps corals too much trouble. Too much feeding...

Thinking about buying an advance acrylics frag tank.

Scape version 2.0



What do you guys think?

I still need to slope the sand. I just dumped it in last night.

[jhenry]

how much of that rock did you use? also nice scape.

[myjohnson]

Thanks!

A lot less then I thought dude. I was going to do a normal reef scape but then decided to go with a more minimal style.

I used maybe 1/3-1/2 of the rocks.

[soymilk]

Nice I like. Nice and simple.

You might have to add more sand to be able to slope. I dunno about this led stuff anymore. I might go back to t5 and mh.

Thanks man. Took the tips from you. Time for you to bust out your DSLR and take some pictures of the ELOS!

All that goodness and you hoggin it.....learn to share bro.

I still have half a bucket of sand so I'll see what's up after I slope it some.

You know you want to keep that light!

You just got an impulse to buy something new foo.
