marvelousone · 11/10/2015, 08:55 PM

My goodies came in. Tank is full of water. The beginning is close.

FFrankie · 11/10/2015, 09:14 PM

Cool man! Keep the updates coming!

marvelousone · 11/12/2015, 08:17 PM

Tank is full of water and has the dry rock in place. I still have to add the live rock.

marvelousone · 11/12/2015, 08:26 PM

I have a in sump pump. mag 12 I believe. With no lights on the temp has been running at 79 for two days. I have a chiller but I have never use a mag pump. Is this normal to how high heat from the pump. I have a quiet one on my 75 gal. It not as large as the mag 12. So is there a large pump equal to the mag 12 that don't put out high heat.

FFrankie · 11/12/2015, 11:27 PM

Yeah, the bigger you go the bigger the pump and more heat is generated.
That's why I have my returns external. You can run a Quiet One external btw.
You drill the sump, place a bulkhead and plumb it up.
I have mine like this on the 60

marvelousone · 11/13/2015, 08:34 PM

Added the live rock today.

marvelousone · 11/13/2015, 08:35 PM

marvelousone · 11/14/2015, 10:38 PM

Yes I am. I have food 7 but doing what is on 14day off the website. That is the three it said you. It don't say anything about food 7. How should use it.

BayouCorals · 11/15/2015, 01:01 AM

Looking forward to watching this tank. Good luck.

marvelousone · 11/21/2015, 02:00 PM

On day 9 of the cycle. Tomorrow I can but in my first 2 fish. Going through Diatom bloom, Little hair algae. On top of the diatom on the sand is a green algae that looks like diatom. It started on day 3. It is getting better.

marvelousone · 11/22/2015, 06:01 PM

marvelousone · 12/01/2015, 10:34 PM

A little update. Come home and the brown dust that is all of the glass. It is about half of what it is normally. I wipe it off and it stayed off for several hours. The water is getting very clear. It is day 19.

marvelousone · 12/21/2015, 09:38 PM

Day 39 and I think I have dino's. I added two new tank mates. Snowflake clowns. They have been hosting a GBTA but it is not going in this tank. Would it look bad to put a frogspawn or large rock of hairy mushrooms in there for them. They will host it.
