Any Updates?

mikearoni · 01/28/2009, 06:49 AM

^^

Youre tank is really coming along nicely, and the powder brown looks great. hope he does well. Did you get the lights on the other side set up yet? How do you like the Radiums? I've had mine for a week and I'm lovin them

Vapour1ze · 01/28/2009, 03:26 PM

i will update soon,,, sorry for taking so long..

honestly in my opinion the radiums could be bluer.

Padrino · 01/28/2009, 03:28 PM

Luke, i forget now, how did you plumb the refuge ... does it t off of the return pump or from the drain?

Vapour1ze · 01/28/2009, 07:01 PM

it t's off from the drain the drain to the sump is straight down and theres a y in the middle that splits to the fuge that is controlled by 2 ball valves,

Better! I was getting worried

but i need to see your setup one day and compare the radiums to the reeflux 20K's. Keep us posted, Wiz

Vapour1ze · 01/28/2009, 09:35 PM

feel free to stop over whenever wiz to check it out,,, car broke down again today, so theres another 200$, which was intended for my lights, my funds lately have seriously been terrible, but I've been noticing some good growth on SPS and my pagoda cup and on the toadstool I got from pufferpunk

,,, ive never seen the reeflux 20ks, wonder how they are,,,, btw, im mainly waiting to post pics,,,, because my sand is still somewhat brown =/

Vapour1ze · 01/28/2009, 09:51 PM

So heres some fairly recent shots probably less than a week, old some new additions are the clown gobys however I can't find the diamond goby I added about a week ago to sift my sand,,,, think it was 20 dollar eel food =/ but anywhere here you fiends go.

Vapour1ze · 01/28/2009, 09:51 PM

Tangweed · 01/28/2009, 10:44 PM

Wow Luke! Your tank looks great!

Vapour1ze · 01/28/2009, 10:51 PM

Thanks!, pics are from about a week ago, and last night I scraped every side of the tank, and it looks so much better, pics dont really reveal how gross the back was , but now its looking better, sand is still really brown in pics and the left wall is nasty in pics ^^, but its better now.

sand is getting better slowly, and my flatworms are 70% gone.

Vapour1ze · 01/30/2009, 02:45 AM

also for those of you following, if interested im working on my reef's own website for family and friends and other people to learn from mainly still working on the own.com as im branching off of my other site, but anyway, www.reef.stroxlens.com is the link, comments critique are appreciated.

Padrino · 01/30/2009, 08:49 AM

looks good.
in the pics under the Ro/DI installation,, i see that the water line comes off a copper pipe and then after the RO/DI process it goes back into a copper pipe..

I cannot remember if you changed that to remove the copper pipe afterwards. If not the DI water will pull metal ions from the copper pipe since it is negatively charged

Vapour1ze · 01/30/2009, 02:43 PM

yea its changed lol....

scroll back a few pages on here,,,,,,

Fish_wiz2 · 01/30/2009, 03:15 PM

Sweet man, but where did you get the tang again?

Vapour1ze · 01/30/2009, 07:27 PM

Fish_wiz2 · 01/30/2009, 10:21 PM
