"Tom's RSM 250"

Thanks Juan First I saw of the LED hood. More reading to do. Thanks!

 

[tnwillia]

Hey Juan the LED hood would be way to bright for what I'm trying to do but thanks!

I found lots on putting the Tunze 9002 in the BC-29 but not found anything on doing it in the JBJ-28. Anyone done it?

Hi Tom - OK on the BC 29 choice. StevieT has some stuff for the BC 29, including a small skimmer - just FYI:

BioCube 29 - inTank, LLC

I wasn't sure how much room was in the back of the BC. I'm only familiar with the little JBJ 6 gallon.

Somebody has to post a picture using this thing!

Cheryl - Paul B (the inventor) has posted a couple videos of the zapper aiptaser in action on Majanos:

Thanks for the videos Terry!

Still leaning to the BC-29. There is lots more info on this tank than the JBJ-28. I looked at SteveTs mod skimmer cup for the 9002, I'll check out what he has for a skimmer. Thanks again!

Great videos, Contact time was longer than I was expecting but it works! I'm going to see if he can make them shorter (16 - 18"). I can already see a small problem trying to get my 24" into my 20" fuge in my 26" cabinet space and having any room to move around. Has nothing to do with the probe just my space requirements fro the 250 cabinet. Looking forward to mine getting here!

Tom - Cool on giving the Mantis his own tank. I have no knowledge on either BC or JBJ so either way you go, Good luck with it...

 

[tnwillia]

Hey Eddie. Not a big project or difficult requirements, just some added work & fun for the holidays. Thanks!

 

[Reefmack]

You're welcome Tom!

By the way - if you haven't kept up with this thread there are about 7 nice mantis videos posted on this page. It's a dedicated mantis tank!

It's a big Peacock like yours.

 

[tnwillia]

I've been watching that one. Thanks!

 

[Reefmack]

You're welcome - I've been watching that one too. That is a BIG Mantis!

You're welcome Tom!

Hey Tom, looking forward to seeing your mantis in his new home. I have been looking at getting a small tank for my daughter but as usual, you can't get the JBJ or BC over here. I was after something in the 30 litre range. Do you think a skimmer would be required for a tank this size?

 

[reeferman]

hey Tom,i have had both tanks and i really like both of them.imo,the jbj has a slightly better filtration setup with the filter basket,similar to Stevie Ts.i couldnt grow much more than softies in either one of them.i didnt run a skimmer on either one either,just 5 gal wc every week.im currently running the jbj as my frag tank skimmerless[no fish though].good luck and i think you cant go wrong either way.oh yeah,the jbj has an open "sump" and the biocubes hood covers the whole top cutting down on evaporation.

Big help Reggie, Thanks!

I'd love a little house on a island like that Tom, have you got that link of your tank video.. you posted a few weeks back [EDIT - Found it on photobucket]

 

[Dweezil]

^ Me too!!! Might make grocery shopping a bit more difficult though

 

[Reefmack]

Hurricanes could be tough too! I would think it's "temporary" housing LOL!

Lol

A nice place to visit. Lunch at the bottom of the steps & a 360 degree view of your very large tank! It was a good picture. Thanks!
