Well its been an allday Affair! 240 Finally up & running. :-D Everything seems to have adjusted well. Passer Angel kinda acting funny. Laying on side alot, regal did this also. Both move around the tank. Regal eating, passer not. Hope I dont lose him. Think they'll be OK.

I will be putting in an order for different light setup. I plan to have 4 400W MH 20Ks XM. Will be putting in 36" reflectors. With 4 10k PCs to compliment the 20Ks. 96 Watters DIY Moonlight in reflectors.

Everything still alittle stirred up. Heres a Pic. Corals not in tank in these pics. They are in now though. After this day I thought I would share a little of the fun!! Tomorrow is another day of reefing. 8)

On the left is the Tunze Multi Controller for the 6100 Stream Pumps . One on each side. The right is Tunze Osmolator. Water level control. Need one of those PH monitors from raffle. Next to them, Ya Ya I feel It. LOL

Thanks

Those are fanzy tunze devises. the one on the right looks to be an osmolator. I'm guessing the other one the pump controller for his tunze turbelle pumps.

Gator - Roger is the person to talk to about Tunze. Also keep an eye on the for sale section of reef central. Every so often some will pop up for sale.

I Love Tunze Stuff It Rocks A--. Its been a long day, as I did it all by myself. LOL Its not the cheapest but I have found nothing that tops it.

This has not been the easiest project I have ever done. Extending a big Thank You to all that have posted on my threads. It has all been helpful. My plumbing was done with the help of MAAST!! Thanks Again
I'm glad its finally done, now I can set it all up inside. Unions were the Key.

Roger is the man for Tunze. I was able to time my purchases with Roger. He never had it on the shelf at Aquatek. He has went home on many occasions to pickup product for me. Just call him, ussually on Saturday is good. He only works Aquatek on Sat. as Tunze USA Takes all his time. I bet he has it at home...

The fun really starts now!

Thanks

Robert, that's awesome! i run twin tunze turbelles on my 125gl! if i remember correctly...... i bought the last tunze turbelle aquatek had in stock 2 weeks ago.... i'm currently pushing about 3800+ gph of current with both running! the 6100 setup is even better! you might want to consider putting in some bio-spira(sp?), it will finish cycling your tank in 48hours, they have some at pet partners.

Bio Spira why? Do you think I will have a mini cycle? I transfered all of it from old tank. Left the sand from main tank for now. Plan on getting it in the fuge tomorrow. Its not a DSB. I dont think I will have any problems. My Turbelle I purchased on the 6th of Feb. I knew I wanted another one. Do you have the multi controller? I am not sure how to work this yet.

If you put your finger into the tank for a split second there will be the slightest mini-cycle. you can't measure a cycle this small, but it's there. The point im trying to get at is that no matter how much you saved from the old tank you will have a cycle when you move tanks. the good news is that it most likely wont harm anything, but it's there. you may notice some minor algae blooms but I doubt much more than that if you used all of your old live rock and your old water. the sand is also a big deal; I'd recomend getting that into the sump asap.

Well heres more pics. I cant wait to get the new lights.

Brett Wilson
Mon, 15th Mar 2004, 01:27 AM
Are you getting rid of those lights or adding to them?

RobertG
Mon, 15th Mar 2004, 01:30 AM
There pretty much spoken for. But new lights

Brett Wilson
Mon, 15th Mar 2004, 01:32 AM
ahh, cool. Geismans are nice. Not needing pretty lights because the tank is behind a wall is even nicer :)
