  1. Contemplating selling my captive split Ritteri anemone. Ritteri's that split in captivity are extremely rare. It's 15"+ so you'll need some space for it. It's got a beautiful purple foot and extremely healthy.

     

     

    $250

  2. I've been running a Jebao return on my tank since it was setup and hasn't skipped a beat. I think I might have cleaned it once since I set my current tank up... The Reef Octopus simmer with the dc3500 (exactly the same as the Jebao just different colors) hasn't given me any problem other than a slight vibration when it get's really dirty.

     

    Guess I've just been lucky with both...

  3. So on my setup I have the tube above the water line in the sump but I also have a small hole in the hard line at the very top of the reservoir to create a siphon break in the odd circumstance that the feed line were to be submerged and create a siphon.

  4. Nice FTS Chris!

    Your photo box works perfectly also. You get more detail pictures.

     

    Thanks buddy =)

     

    The last few pictures are with my new larger port hole I built, and yes I have had more than one person ask me of I built it from an old skimmer cup and NO that was not my intention lol.

     

    It works quite well, the 15+ year old Nikon D70 still keeps ticking, the real quality is in the 55mm Micro Nikkor Nikon lens. It's great piece of glass.

  5. You have an absolutely stunning system.  I lost my membership a while ago (site got hacked apparently) and rejoined because I wanted to follow your tanks progress.  Love the FTS shot.  

     

    What is the T5 combo you are using on the tank and the light duration?  Many thanks.

     

    Thank you for the compliment!

     

    I don't really update this thread very often, but you can always catch me on my FB. I probably should update this more since that FTS already feels out of date considering some of the rapid coral growth, the formosa stags will need to be chopped pretty soon before they start growing flat against the water surface, the front colony is less an inch from the water line now and the tips are branching again.

     

    So for bulbs I recently switched out all of my Blue+ bulbs for FM Ultra Royal Blues, so far I'm really happy with the bulbs and I think they have just a touch of something special that the Blue+ doesn't, some pieces just seem to pop a little more. Long term effects will be interesting as well as bulb life. I know quite a few Europeans that swear by them. I need to talk to FM about getting setup as a distributor here in the US because ordering directly from Germany is kind of a pain.

     

    A few months back I also added the LED strip to the front of the powermodule, Thanks Rudy & Matt =) It's nothing crazy, just 15 LED's to help with a little more pop. It also helps light up the front of the tank a little more which I like because it always felt a little dim to me. I was going to upgrade to a used 10 bulb PM but since this tank will be coming down in the near future with the build of our new house I've decided to just leave things as they are till I make a final decision on the dimensions of the new tank.

     

    Bulbs are:

     

    FM Royal Blue

    Purple+

    ATI Actinic 

    AquaBlue Special

    FM Royal Blue

    ATI Actinic

    Purple+ 

    FM Royal Blue

     

    Actinic's come on at 9:00am

    Led's come on at 9:30am

    Mains turn on at 10:00am

     

    Mains off at 9:30pm

    LED's off at 9:45pm

    Actinic's off at 10:00

  6. Time to throw the locals a bone...

     

    All frags have been cut a minimum of 2 weeks prior.

     

    $150 that's $25 per frag and a steal considering what most of these normally sell for!
