Mark's jbj 30g rimless build

[Marktheshark83]

All the goods have arrived. Cat approved. Got back from my honeymoon to all my goodies. Now I hope to get the cycle going soon. Will update with pics when I do

 

[Fishninja]

Following along. What are your plans for stoking it?

 

[Marktheshark83]

As far as fish go I definitely want a scooter blenny and I'll prolly let the wife pick the rest. Coral wise I'm a z's and p's guy mostly, but I'm sure I will throw a bit of everything in there.

HA! Following!

 

[Marktheshark83]

Cycle started. Woot woot!! Now just need to find some good return pumps. Stock ones seem a little weak. Any suggestions?

Edit. Sorry pic sideways. Tried to fix it

Well I'm jealous! Mine was delivered last week and the front of the glass was scratched, just about an inch but still noticeable. I called them and they are sending me a brand new tank, which I really didn't expect and do not have to send the scratched one back. My skimmer, heater, screen came today and I can't wait to transfer everything to the new tanklooking forward to seeing more pictures of yours.

Sorry to hear that bud. Glad they sending a replacement tank, and bonus in getting to keep the scratched on. Maybe turn that one into a frag tank with lots of z'and p's for me to buy

What kind of lighting is that? Btw this tank looks like it is going to be awesome!

 

[Marktheshark83]

It's just a 58watt T5 I had for a frag tank few years ago. Haven't decided on my light yet. As of now I'm leaning towards the kessil 360

Thank you.. I hope so lol

 

[Marktheshark83]

Did you replace your return pumps? If so what did you decide on? I'm having major problems with micro bubbles , called jbj and they are sending me new ones but still thinking of replacing them, any new pictures ? What have you added?

 

[Marktheshark83]

I didn't replace the pump yet. I may later down the road. If you do let me know what you go with plz. I did order my light. I went with the hydra 26 Hd. I'll get a new pic later after work,But its still nothing exciting. Hoping next weekend I'll add my clean up crew

 

[Chrisfish]

I think I'll keep the ones that came with it for now. Getting ready to hook up the protein skimmer, here comes the stress!:mad: Looking forward to seeing some pictures of your tank. I have the kessil 160 and so far I like it but I also like the a1 prime so we'll see.

What skimmer you get? I have had luck in the past with my nanocune, I'm going to give it another go without one. I'll try and get a pic after the dentist. Have u loaded any new pics yet?

 

[Chrisfish]

lol , I just put the tunz 9004 in and it's really quiet, I've never used one before, talk about stress! I'll add more pictures in a little bit, do you know which thread I'm on?

 

[Marktheshark83]

I think I can find it again. Maybe give me a link
