NoobtoSalt Posted November 6, 2010 Share Posted November 6, 2010 Ok so I did it. I picked up another tank. That makes 4 total now. I wanted to get a frag tank so now I've got one. It's going to be in the garage and if you are part of any of the growouts know that they will not be in this tank they will stay in my main tank for safety reasons.(clap) I will show it off more when I get it all cleaned up. It's going to be a lot of work but it was well worth the price. Oh yeah I'm also going to start another build thread for my parents 75 I just started yesterday!!! I'm going crazy doing two builds at two different houses at the sametime but that's what reefin' is all about! Pics to come in the next few days but wanted to start a thread for it.

NoobtoSalt Posted November 7, 2010 Author Share Posted November 7, 2010 I'm sure you all saw this thread for awhile but this is the tank I bought. It's going to look quite a bit different but at least you get some curent pics of what it looked like before. http://www.pnwmas.org/forums/showthread.php?t=22945 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 Can't wait to see where you go with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoobtoSalt Posted November 7, 2010 Author Share Posted November 7, 2010 Can't wait to see where you go with it. I think I'm going to keep the deep sandbed but the rock I think is going into my parents tank that I'm starting to build. Not sure what's going to happen quite yet. I have another week to decide before my BRS group buy goes through so we will see....LOL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Posted November 7, 2010 Share Posted November 7, 2010 To continue the conversation about the T5's each of those ballast should be able to support two 36" T5-HO Bulbs. (39w each) Probably just need bulbs and end caps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoobtoSalt Posted November 7, 2010 Author Share Posted November 7, 2010 Hmmm. I might have you come over here and show me how that's going to look in the next few weeks. Sent from my SCH-I500 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoobtoSalt Posted November 8, 2010 Author Share Posted November 8, 2010 Here are a few pics of it right now. I just took a lot if rock up to my parents house as well. It didn't have this sump or skimmer on it when I got it yesterday. Sent from my SCH-I500 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoobtoSalt Posted November 9, 2010 Author Share Posted November 9, 2010 Should I scrape it or leave it?? I personally like the fact that there is that much coraline algea but not sure if too much is a bad thing or not. Lots of nems, lots of starfish. Going to be a great project for me. Shrooms that were on some of the live rock that came with the tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReeFit Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 you should scrape the coraline off that maxijet intake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoobtoSalt Posted November 9, 2010 Author Share Posted November 9, 2010 you should scrape the coraline off that maxijet intake. yeah I'm pretty sure I swapped that one already. The tank came with 3 or 4 powerheads. Still digging through all the extras. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gradth Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 Thats awesome coraline growth. Some people hate it, some love it. Personally I love it. I soak my powerheads in vinegar every couple months to clean them up. About a 24 hour soak and they look and run like new. Looks nice. Sorry to hear about your trigger in the other tank. I love my pair of bluethroats, would be devistated if something happened to them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoobtoSalt Posted November 16, 2010 Author Share Posted November 16, 2010 Hmmmm... I'm thinking now why did I get a 4th tank when I keep selling off all my corals??? This tank is already getting neglected since it's in the garage not sure how much longer it's going to be staying here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
