  1. As I continue to buff my new tank and order things like crazy, as well as pick up some great help from here on the forum, I begin to check my list of all things needed to ensure my first coral tank will be successful. I'm still deciding on what lighting to go with, but as I do, a question comes to mind. Should I get something to measure my PAR? Is that something I should be doing, or is it more, start your lights on low, and slowly come up each week until your coral seem happy?

     

    The plan is to have ups, ops, and softies galore!! Any and all input is appreciated!! Thanks.

     

     

  2. Getting ready to build my 120 and this will be my first tank with coral, full blown, growing, swapping, buying, the works!!! LoL.

     

    I want to make sure I have the flow in a pretty good set up and have read the best is to have your flow change rather then always going in one direction. I have been looking at OceansMotion 4 way. http://oceansmotions.com/version4.html

     

    What are your thoughts? What do you use?

     

    I am wanting to have SPS, LPS< and some softies too, slow build up of course, not all at once, but I'd rather build it right the first time rather then doing it 3 or 4 times. . . which may just end up happening anyways! LoL

     

    Thank you in advance!
     

  3. wiring is more organized now.  yeah, if you know anyone looking for a great external skimmer i'm looking to selling that one.  i went to an internal skimmer to save some floor space and make it easier to access the back of the tank.  

     

     

    thanks...was going to get an updated pic this weekend but with all the remodeling we are doing this room is kind of a mess.

    I'm looking for a skimmer, but I think that one might suck up my whole tank and sump in one gulp!! LoL, my set up is only around 160. . .

  4. I would like to have 6'×3'×2' but that's my dream tank!! Lol. That's not going to happen any time soon

     

    sent from a Samsung note 4

     

     

    I think he has a 6'x2'x2'. . . not as wide, but. . . I think he is looking for about $200. . . could probably come down some too if I talk to him about it being in his best interest. . . LoL

  5. organizing wires and plumbing is one of the biggest challenges in my opinion.  looks like you are doing a good job.  here is the room behind my tank...this is from when i first setup the tank in late 2008.  it's a laundry/mechanical room so it's not a dedicated reef room.  i'll have to get a current picture so you can see the difference between now and then.

    Wiring looks good, but I can't stop looking at your skimmer. . . That must be rated "The Ocean"!!! That thing is HUGE!!!! :ohmy:
