Luis, Wow!!! The stand and canopy are beautiful & superb craftsmanship! The plumbing and electrical look so well-planned and clean. It's a stunning tank and setup. I'm so thrilled for you and happy. Looking forward to seeing the progress. I know it will be an incredible system. Thanks so much for posting the pics!

This is an amazing setup- I can't wait to see your tank "grow", so be sure to post lots of pics along the way!

luis, missing jersey yet?

cheeks69 · 12-01-2003, 01:06 AM

lookin great playa, can't wait to get some feedback on that skimmer,was thinking about the euro-reef, or ASM

Playa · 12-01-2003, 01:42 AM

Thanx Saltyqueen :-)

Wit I sure do. But I dont miss the cold:-)

Cheeks I did not think it was worth to spend an extra $300 for the Euroreef. They are the same identical skimmer with same technology and pump, they are just made out of different materials. I doubt the skimmer will unglue or melt and I dont plan in dropping it:-) if you know what I mean. If they perform different from one to another it would be a different thing.

The ASM G4 is rated for 450 gallons I believe. If you have the extra cash to spend in the Euroreef is ok, but I decided to invest a little more on the Calcium Reactor than the Skimmer.

:-)

Thanx Travis you are kind dude!
Holy Cow Robbie! Thanx for the enthusiasm! You have played a major role in this journey.

Just finished moving the rest of the corals to the new reef. Most of them are placed in temporary spots until I receive the corals that Brian(www.Blowfishacuatics.com) has been holding for me for many weeks. Great guy! Awesome customer service.

I also transfered most of the rocks from the 65. I really dont need anymore rock on the 180. You can say that I just completed phase one of my aquascape. I am pretty happy with the center and the right of the tank. I still have some work to do on the left side. I only bought a new 37 pound rock(One solid Rock that is in the center of the tank) the rest of the rock that is now in my 180, all came from the 65(it goes to show you how much rock I had on the 65). Crazzy!

I must have probably around 40 pounds of live rock left. I will probably put a couple of small pieces in the refugium and the rest is going to the LFS. ALso going back to the LFS for trade several colonies of zoanthids, green leather, Pom Pom Zenia etc...

My back is killing me:-)

Weeeeeeeeeeeee!!! I am going to check the reef:-) I might not sleep tonight to well.

Luis

Pictures...give us some more...please

This sounds and looks awesome from what I've seen so far.

Luis, I guess it's ok to put your corals into the tank without cycling it, is that right? This is all good info for me and others!
