  1. I have a 30 gallon Eclipse XH tank (same foot print as a 20 high 12x24). It isn't a stand alone system like those you listed, however, I have it set up like a reef system..Stand, T5 light, return pump, skimmer in the sump...oh yeah...a sump, heater in sump too. Tank is drilled for an overflow in the top left corner with a small overflow box. and a single return on the top right. If you want corals in it you would need a better light. The T5 just doesn't penetrate all the way to the bottom for hard corals, but it's a great little system. I'd like $150 for the entire setup...it has LR in it and stand with a good supply of pods too.

    Thanks for the message Matt, but not the sort of footprint I was thinking. Those stand alones have more surface area which is what I'm looking for, as well as an all-in-one format. I appreciate the reply. Good luck,

  2. Hey all,

     

    I'm looking for a glass tank along the lines of an Aquapod or a CADlights or a ViaAqua which is in the 22 to 30 gallon capacity range. I currently have an 11 gallon ViaAqua which needs more room for the overgrown corals which are fighting incessantly.

     

    Ideally the tank will have a false back for my skimmer (Tunze nano) heater, carbon, etc. Rimless is fine, but not a requirement, and preferably with minimal, if any, scratching.

     

    Please let me know what you've got and what your asking.

     

    Thanks,

    Also, I should have mentioned, no lighting required. This tank will still be set up under my 150 watt pendant.

     

    Thanks everybody

  3. Hey all, I posted this in the classifieds too. OOps.

  5. Thanks for starting this thread and for the comments put forth so far.

     

    I starting running the NPX pellets a week ago after a 45 gallon water change in my 180 mixed reef tank, particularly due to a stubborn nitrate level of about 30 ppm which I have been unable to reduce through vodka dosing (keep forgetting to add). I also have a nominal break out of hair algae which I have been working to restrain.

     

    As several here and at Reef Central suggested, my reactor output goes to my Deltec skimmer water feed. I started with about 2/3 of the bag of 550 ml, or about 350 ml. I did not remove the sponges as Steve Weast suggests, but will do when I add the balance of 200 ml of pellets this weekend.

     

    Thus far, I have seen no negative reaction from my tank inhabitants, which include a large wrasse. I have recognized a decidedly clearer tank however, as well as a "percieved increase" in both polyp extension and coloration of corals, particularly my acans. Whether this is due to the pellets, the water change, or my mental desire to have these pellets transform my tank, I don't know, but so far so good.

     

    I'm looking forward to my test results this weekend and the addition of the balance of the pellets to my reactor.
