greg97526 Posted January 18, 2012 Author Share Posted January 18, 2012 yes he does. picked up a 200 gallon cube with 40 gallon sump all plumbed and ready with stand etc for 200 bucks. they did not know what they had. its all cycled and running now but i gotta get me a needle wheel pump cause the cheap little skimmer i have has a regular impeller pump.

greg97526 Posted January 19, 2012 Author Share Posted January 19, 2012 Weeks 2 and 3 after adding lots of LS and LR and live bacteria. end of third week cycle was completed. decided i didnt like the ball valves and 90 degree elbows or the skimmer placement so replumbed and added some macro and LR rubble.

greg97526 Posted January 19, 2012 Author Share Posted January 19, 2012 Weeks 4 through 6 (current) Added purple shroom, couple frags of zoo's, some kind of polyp not pictured here (later), frogspawn, green leather not pictured here, 50 blue leg hermits, 50 astrea, 1 yellow tail damsel from the cycling period, coral beauty, galaxia frag, gsp and i think that's about it. had some majano pictured here but not any more. Need to get a better lighting setup (taxes means LED's) and a needle pump or another skimmer as the impeller is a crap design on mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
