What an impressive acro collection! I would be interested in the purple bonsai and miagi tort if one day you frag them! I have a 240g as well but a cube sure looks cool! Just set up the exact same lights! Hows your growth rate?

sunset monti
http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f123/NgoSH0311/monti.jpg


Are you sure that is a sunset monti? It does not have any orange coloration to it. I would guess that is more of a pokerstar or rainbow monti from the picture.

Anyway, really good coral selection. I may try the reeflux 10K one day.

[pirate2876]

sweet tank.any frags ready? :)

Growth rate is awesome with Reeflux 10K. My next bulbs change out i will go with Radium

That is not orange, it is brown. The polyp suppose to be Green but i got it from my friend Mike. It was brown out.....

I have a few pieces of corals want to sell. Let me know what you looking for

[convict]

That is Awesome! Someday...Someday...;)

[kinktao]

amazing! this is a beautiful tank, I can't wait till they start growing out and populating the tank.

[reefer714]

Thank you all for the compliment. The tank still need lots of work. I am getting ready to install 200Mg/H Ozonizer

[DaChrisDude]

oooooooooohhhh.....

Wow, really really nice. Drooling over...well, just about everything. :)

[seahorse_man]

Nice tank:eek: That skimmer is huge how much was that thing

[reefer714]

Cost me 4G's shipped to near by LFS. It has to be on the pallet.

[seahorse_man]

4 grand:eek: How big is it a foot in diameter?Who makes it?More info that thing is cool

[reefer714]

It is 14" Outter diameter, 31" tall, 3500 liter of air for hour @68w that is the Bubble King 400 external build by Klaus Jensen in Germany.

[pirate2876]

thats one of the best and most expenxive skimmers out there imo.the atis are similiar but the bks use better pumps.

That skimmer is nuts! Beautiful tank! I love the green deepwater acro.

LMK how you like the radiums. I just switched from the reeflux 10 to the 12. Not so happy so far.

If you ever have frags hit me up.

[reefer714]

Hello Eric, according to Sanjay's Lighting. Reeflux 12K doesn't produce much par for the 250W on HQI ballast (75ppfd). If you run the 12K on 400w HQI ballast you should get around 159 PPFD. Eric at fragfarmer talk me into the radium

[reefer714]

The deep water acro has been in my tank for almost a year.

[TripleP]

your mini ocean it sweet.

[SDguy]

So did you sell off all your acros? Are you breaking the tank down, or just leaving it with low maintenance livestock?

[reefer714]

Tank is empty with some LPS and softy. My darn reeflux 10k bulbs cracked on me, so i have 2 cracked, 1 doesn't fire.My tank is in darkness....

[Nick_Kun]

steve, where you swimming in your tank again and splashing water all over you metal halide :)

[reefer714]

I wish i can do that. At least i know why my bulb cracked on me....

The Iwasaki 175W 15K gets 86ppfd, I guess one really need's to look into what bulbs you use to get the most cost effective/growth/coloration. The 400W would be nice but the electric bill would be C-R-A-Z-Y!!! Then there is the chiller to keep it cool too. <sigh>

[reefer714]

Hello JJFly, If you have enough fan in your display and sump compartment, your chiller will not run as much. My chiller hasn't run yet :) and my tank maintain at 78-79.5... But i use lots of fans 4 on the display, 2 on the sump and 2 on the fuge. I also have 2 double fans window unit to bring in fresh air... Im running approx 150w of fan, that is much better compare to the chiller 1200w ..... If i can upgrade my breaker to 30amps x 2 or 3, i will go with all 400w on my display...

[reefmedic]

Sweet setup!!!

SO NICE!
