Not much to really report...acans are still fading away while everything else does well...

Just ordered a new 30" x 18 " x 16" sump from John @ Advance Acrylics, time to upgrade the skimmer!!

Should have it next week, can't wait to replace the Cadlights sump...

Sweet! How bout a photo update?

Cool I love a good sump!

 

[thewackyreefer]

I'll grab a shot tomorrow for you guys, but you're going to be disappointed, it's even more bare than it was last time...

On a happy note, I just picked up a SWC 160 from Reef Filtration. Thanks again, Luke!

 

[thewackyreefer]

Well, like I said, not much to see these days...

 

[thewackyreefer]

Man, I better get to work and figure out what's going on with my tank. Gotta get some new, flash pieces in there to encourage some comments! :xd:

 

[thewackyreefer]

Check out this beast! Thanks again, Luke!

 

[thewackyreefer]

Skimmer is already starting to pull some nastiness!

Picking up the new sump from AA tonight!

Amazing tank!

Well I guess it's about time for some coral shots.

All of these (excluding the ponape birdsnest) came from Adam at Battle Corals.

Good luck, you have a long road ahead of you

I definitely do!

I think the general consensus is that the acans were lost due to bacterial infections. Because of that no acans for at little while then we'll see what happens. I am thankful everything else in the tank is doing well.

160 doin it's thing!

What do you guys think about where I have it set? Trying to skim a little wet.

 

[skinz78]

I'd leave it there and let it be.

Looks good, I have a question for ya though.. Would 1 radion light up the tank enough for say zoas and LPS? Im thnking about grabbing a tank with similiar dimensions, and tryin to price stuff out before i make a committment to it. Thanks!

Any pics of the new sump setup you ordered? About the skimmer I would leave where its set right now as the skim looks to be the color of tea. Its perfect; not to much and not to little skim!

I'll get one tonight, it's a work of art. Advance Acrylics does some great work!

Doubtful, I agree with EcoTech's 24" spread guideline. You'd have to hang it pretty high to get enough spread to cover a tank this size.

Here's the sump.

Overflow runs into a sock in a section with the skimmer, the into an area filled with rock and on to the return area where the heater, Seneye, probes and reactor are.

Picked up a 24" Aquaticlife T5 fixture today! For what, you ask? You'll see soon enough!
