yamaha racer · 03/27/2006, 01:09 PM

well ive had a reef tank since 2000 and all ive had for filtration was a penguan 330. and a small skimmer. but now im getting rid of the old 55g plexi and putting in the new 55g glass w/ over flows. its going to be a slow process because im 15 and im really short on cash. so heres my old set up.

my sump is a 35g tub, and a mag 5 return, a mag 9.5 on the closed loop, 5 t-5s from helios. (i have the normal ones now but getting the HO soon) that are 28w each w/ built in reflectors, and hopefully a diy big skimmer.

ill keep u posted.

don't let your glass get so bad

brc0488 · 03/28/2006, 07:06 PM

well im gonna say that im jelouse becasue i wanted a 55 with corner overflows so bad but couldnt find one to save my life so i had to get one with the overflow almost in the middle. i have a 55 and its going pretty well but also has had its down falls. but it sounds like you need to do what i did and get a job at the local fish store so you can pay for your tank...and get discounts on stuff

brc0488 · 03/28/2006, 07:07 PM

ill post some pics if u like....

yamaha racer · 03/28/2006, 08:00 PM

sure post some pics. and i know i need a job but i have a small town and i mean small and i dont have a license yet so i have to get one imn my town and the only pet store my bro works at and hes 19 and need to find a new job so that i can get one there, because the owner knows me really good.

and jent46bow.. its only bad because i didnt clean it for like 3 weeks. but thats an old pic now its prime, very clean and very nice

brc0488 · 03/28/2006, 09:15 PM

Good luck.
