Whats your thoughts on Matrix?

Just got In Tank media chamber to be come Refug, on new IM red light comes in.

Again very nice tank, Your Mushrooms are awesome!

I drained have my tank and scooted the stand forward a few inches. The APS stands are pretty sturdy.

I like matrix and it controlled my nitrates pretty well until i filled my tank with too much stuff.

I did the fuge in the media chamber too but it didnt do enough for my phosphates and nitrates, hence all my extra reactors and the cpr fuge. Dealing with GHA.

Does anyone know what type of anemone this is? It keeps moving around, but just popped up out of no where. Tank is a couple months old.

AZReef13 · 03/07/2018, 02:51 PM

Possibly; Aiptasia – Majano should be removed if is it?

Bent · 03/07/2018, 03:11 PM

Does not look like a aptasia

Looks like a condy?

carmodpg · 03/07/2018, 03:38 PM

It may be a bleached green bta. It also resembles a newly formed Ritteri, but I do not know how a Ritteri could grow in the tank out of no where...

Looks like a weak bta. Hopefully some light and feeding it will get it back to full strength

Definitely not aptasia or majano. I agree that it looks like an unhealthy bta. The rocks looks like dry rock or very new live rock. Anemones often won’t do well in new tanks until they are more established or biology-parameters stabilize.

That’s a Lemonpeel Angelfish - they’re notoriously bad in reefs but they do better in SPS tanks than softies and LPS. You just have to make sure you’re okay with the possibility they could nip at coral if you decide to get one.

im getttin ready to order the nuvo 40 but i dont want to use the factory stand . Have any of you used something different for a stand that worked out well and is better built than the IM stand for 350.00. Im thinkin of a vanity with some sort of top on it right now , just checkin for better suggestions. TIA

AZReef13 · 03/15/2018, 07:40 AM

I'm using the IM APS stands and they are amazing. They are made of alluminum, easy to build and strong. Couple viedos on them at either IM or MD. But a custom stands are always cool looking too. Just remember the weight of tank on a vanity?

yea if i use a vanity or a base cabinet i will def reinforce it .

AZReef13 · 03/16/2018, 07:51 AM

Can't wait to see your choice, good luck.

What other equipment are you thinking about?

nycman · 03/16/2018, 10:27 AM

Instead of the Hydrofill from IM, I installed an AutoAqua Smart ATO micro. Very happy with it.

im debating on a skimmer still, i had a nuvo 20 for a while and then heater malfunction and tank crash last year so i took a break and now i wanna come back. but i have hydra 26 hd still , smart ato , i had the ghost skimmer on the 20 and it worked fine but i thinkin about the aquamaxx 1.5 or tunze 9004. i have an mp 10 and the spin streams . I think im gonna pick up a 24x24x35 base cabinet and use a countertop for a stand. im really excited my tank just got here today and im so ready to set it up lol.

AZReef13 · 03/17/2018, 07:15 AM

Knowing what I know now I would have seriously looked at Aquamax or Reef Octopus HOB skimmers. Tunze was difficult for some on older post setting it up.

Do you have a good schedule for Hydra? I use it still trying to dial it in.

Can't wait to see shots of your build.

I ended up building my own, cost me about a quarter of that. If you have the time, a solid wood stand would work best!! Or steel frame if you can fork out the money, those MDF stands are garbage.

Has anyone checked out the new products from IM?

Wavelink Interernal wave pumps with controller

Mighty jet controlable return pump

Both at on IM's site and MD I've seen.

Pretty cool, I’m interested in both of these. Would be nice to hear some feedback if anyone has tried them out.

Tunze 9004 for the win. Spend a little extra and get the DC version. Awesome, easy to control, skims well.

What chamber does this one fit in? Any other special installation requirements?

Think of replacing my ghost

I'm considering the 9001. But why pay the extra for the DC model?? Isn't it supposed to run full speed??
