pledosophy Posted January 29, 2015 Author Share Posted January 29, 2015 I have to decide between 2 skimmers, a PCI 2000 recirculating, or a Bubble Magnus PS2500. I have two sumps, an old style trickle filter with room for a skimmer that would take up the whole stand, or a smaller one that has room for only the skimmer, that would take up half the stand. I have room and extra tanks to put next to it if I want to do a display refugium.... I think that is going to happen. I have to decide between using 2 Ocean revives, or trying some of the other LED's I have accumulated... I have about 300 or so LBS of LR that has been "cooking" in a tank for 4 months (Can't believe it has been so long) so that's all ready to go. I will probably use Jeabao wp40's, and put the Gyre on the other tank. I do have a plumbed fridge if I go non photosynthetic... the tank is in my office, so it might be nice to have a place to stash beer upstairs... Now I just need the RODI to pump water out faster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheClark Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 Ooo, the fridge autofeeder, always thought that was a great idea. Sounds like you need a build thread for this sucker. Nice to have options, like most of us you too hoard good equipment. My garage now has a special section for reefing 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pledosophy Posted January 29, 2015 Author Share Posted January 29, 2015 Oh I know where the tank is going, it's filling up now. Just not sure what I am going to put in the tank yet. I'm thinking either minimalistic SPS tank. 2 or 3 rocks (I have some large rocks), a yellow tang, and a cleaner shrimp. Or an LPS tank with a ton of movement. High nutrient system. OR a non photosynthetic tank. One of those.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Z Reef Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 Just my 2 cents but EVERYONE does SPS tanks lol! It would be awesome to see a tank full of torches, hammers, duncans, etc LPS. Sounds like a ton of water movement but at least you can do wave pulses and get a cool effect with the LPS. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JManrow Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 yeah! LPS with a Gyre Generator! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pledosophy Posted January 29, 2015 Author Share Posted January 29, 2015 That does sound fun... I could still use my fridge to autofeed, especially once I hook up with you and get the cultures going as well..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timmylucas Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 lol I wish I was in the same situation as you with my 90. I have my 90 Gal but no equipment yet. but im working on it! Cant wait to see this after your done. It will be a fun little project. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bicyclebill Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 I've always wanted a harlequin tusk fish! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pledosophy Posted January 29, 2015 Author Share Posted January 29, 2015 I've always wanted a harlequin tusk fish! Those fish are DOPE! I think a 90 is still a bit small for one. They like to swim quite a bit from what I remember. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rworegon Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 LPS tank would be cool but with high nutrients I would put a blind over the window to the right or you will be fighting algae till the day you take the tank down. Or you could do a nem garden with lots of different varieties of nems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pledosophy Posted January 30, 2015 Author Share Posted January 30, 2015 I have blinds, they are just open since it is so sunny today. Nem garden sounds cool too... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did the rockwork, not sure if I like it or not yet. Tossed some sand in. I might move the leather from the frag tank over tomorrow. Give them someplace to go for now.

Soft corals, a ton of damsels/chromis, several cleaner shrimps, and a golden tail or japanese dragon. You'll get a kick out of the cleaner shrimp cleaning the mouth. Or...you can ditch that 90 and get a cube! Edited January 30, 2015 by vanz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the two you mentioned are beautiful, I like the blue ribbon eel as well, but not gonna go eel route. It's kinda funny. I aquascaped the tank last night, with the water half full. When I see it today, it looks great, if the tank were 5 inches lower. I did wanna keep the rock work minimal, but I always want to put more in while I am doing it. We'll see if it lasts. Gonna finish filling and plumbing today. Maybe get a fish for it. (All the Liverock is well seasoned, plus I have two large sponges from my frag tank going in.

pledosophy Posted January 30, 2015 Author Share Posted January 30, 2015 There is a person on form getting rid of rock idk where but I rembers seeing it a couple days ago Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Thanks Mitch, I probably have another 2-250 lbs in my garage of liverock that has been running in a tank with a protein skimmer, a phosban reactor, and some powerheads. It's all covered in pods now to since I dumped one of my cultures in there. I have more then enough rock for this tank, and to upgrade my other system, and then I will probably be selling some as well. You never know how they are going to fit together.
