Here are some pics as promised. Still trying to get a handle on my crappy kodak point and shot. Here are the best shots I could get without a tripod and just my shakey hands.

lookin good nice pics

 

[nanoreefer22]

Thanks Wes, the tanks finally starting to come together.

A little update, I'm changing out my bulb to an Ushio 14k from a Phoenix 14k. I chose this bulb because Randy(Prattreef) runs them over his 240.

I also finally was smart enough to ask someone(sanjay) if you really need "special deluxe" UV protecting glass for a fixture and to my surprise a tempered piece of glass is all I ever needed. So i finally get to get rid of this oversized piece of glass and get something taht fits my pendant .

looks good nano. i liked the phoinex bulb myself, dont just go by he is using this bullb. what reflector and ballast does he use. this makes a diifferance also

 

[nanoreefer22]

I believe Icecap ballast and a run of the mill pendant. I have a similar setup. Ballast came from Randy as well. Talked with him about bulb options prior to making a choice.

Looking good so far Kris. Keep it clean and it will all come together. I like the approach you're taking on this tank .

Thanks Rich! I'm trying with this one, softies and LPS are 100times more forgiving, although I do have 1 or two SPS here and there.

I started usign carbon, changing it every two weeks when I do a water change. Just using the year old rock and a korolia #3 seem to be doing the trick. I'm doing B-ionic 10-15ml every 2 days.

Brooklyns,
Thanks, I don't get what you mean:lol2: I think its good:lol_large

theres my secret to keeping really clear water...that and a pad of polyfilter before the return and the water doesn't even look like its there.

 

[nanoreefer22]

Thanks T!

Q, it seems to work well for me too. You think I could use a polyfilter in the HOB with the carbon?

 

[KathyC]

We need more FTS's of your beautiful tank Kris!!

 

[jhale]

Kris, you can use carbon and the pad in a hob, just be very careful to keep and eye on them. if they get clogged up the hob will flood.

how did the sand do? did you wash it, and did it ever have a cycle?
