Jackson's 24gal Pod

[cali_reef]

When is the upgrade??

You couldn't even fit the one coral Kasei took from me this week in that little thingy..

Damn Rich, here i thought I had a shot at having the best nano :irked:

Good lUck with it

Rich = AquaPod pimp :lol2:

You can buy your salt in ziplock baggies

rich pm me ur numba I thought I had it but I don't.

 

[jhale]

how about a mini SE luminarc and a 250W icecap ballast ?

I think the SPS will like the extra light.

I still vote for the vortech, but on a controller, no way the tank could handle a constant flow like that.

what about drilling it for a sump then getting daves BK 400 for it?
What happens when the skimmer holds more water than the tank?

Warren, I am a pod pimp:headache: I need a bigger tank:grumpy:

Kris, my tank is only some rock. Your's is wayyy better

Jon, a sump is out for sure on this tank. Too much work. I spoke to Kasei about the vortech and he said forget about it. It would probably be pretty hard to direct the flow so the corals don't get hammered.
I am going to go with 2 Tunze nano powerheads for flow. I hope it will be enough. If someone has a better idea please let me know.
I'm not going to mess with the lighting for a while. I'll see what the 150w does.

[jackson6745]

Drill what? You mean a loop?

 

[jhale]

2 6025's would be all you need.

the loop is cool, but a pain, why mess with drilling the tank if it's just a temporary fix.

Update

So far I added 2 new Tunze nano 6025's, changed the skimmer to a Deltec MCE 600, and have a small amount of phosban running in the reactor. I have 3 SPS frags in the tank as "feeler" corals and so far they look good. Polyp extension in the day and night is very good. :tongueani

cant wait to set my 30 gallon up ... looks great rich. u think a 1100 genx pump running on a close loop and a vortech in a 30 cube will be to much :sgrin: :lol2:

what are you gonna be doing for dosing are you gonna have a doser.. i gotta figure out a way to keep the tubes up on the lip of the tank :scratch:

I'm going to dose bionic manually and add some kalk to my top off.

 

[pnoyreefer]

Looks good Rich.. You forgot the plug outlet for the moonlights.. Pm me addie ill send em to you usps....


Now why didn't that AP24 look like that when I had it ..

 

[fritz]

The thing I posted was a paddle for mixing concrete!

 

[fishywoo]

What a nice skimmer. Good luck with it.

 

[NYreefNoob]

looks good so far, have a 24g ap also but i drilled it and using a sump, running a reefstar 2501 de on mine though. the current didnt seem to be enough light.

 

[jackson6745]

Fred "DN" you are one strange dude:lol2:

Thanks Steve sent you a PM

Thanks Paul

Noob, I never ran 150's before. I am going to try it out before I upgrade. What 150w bulb did you use, what 250 bulb and hood did you upgrade to?

 

[NYreefNoob]

i had the coralvue fatory bulb in the 15 loved the color, currently using a reefstar 25 with phoenix bulb, like the color of it as wel

 

[bad coffee]

Rich, took you what, a month or two to get back in? 'bout time...

I've got a ushio 10kk if you want to check it out. I'm putting ushio 14kk's on my tank.

How you liking the deltec? I've got the 500mc and it's okay. I shoulda went bigger.

Hey Brett,

I couldn't stay away too long. I miss that coral smell. I would love to try the 10k ushio. I've only been running the Deltec for a day so I don't know yet. It's pretty quiet and makes a lot of bubbles We'll see what happens.
