Pickupman66's 180 gal Glass box - Update for July 2013

HAHA! lights just went off. just the actinics now. ill get that tomorrow.

 

Very nice set up. I am with Steve on this one. I would like to see a few new full tank shots myself.

 

Nice additions. I agree a FTS whould be nice. :

What fish is that in the pic with the green polyp acro?

 

that would be the Naso. ill get a FTS tomorrow.

get this..the timer for my halides is on the fritz. it wont turn off. it is a digital one and has started to slowly have issues. usually unplugging it solved the issue, but not this time. it is stuck on and wont turn off. guess I gotta get a new one tomorrow...

 

timer won't turn..does that mean the lights are still On? haha picture time. kidding.

 

yup. normally unplugging it kills it so I did that and hte lights went off. about 15 mins later, I noticed that room was a bit too bright. the priority becomes getting the lights off and not taking a photo.

Here ya go. took one with the actinics..


im sorta embarrased by the tank. the rocks have not purpled up yet and are rather green since I have no CUC in the tank yet. we just got the salinity back to normal today and will be getting the CUC in October. we did add in a gigantic emerald crab today and a cleaner shrimp. the shrimp is hiding for now. hopefully it will set up shop here soon.

 

Dont be embarrased the tank looks great. Thanks for posting for us. Karma for you

 

Its not what my old one was. a long way from it, but will get there. we are starting Vodka Dosing, got the reactor manifold done last night so I now have the CA reactor online. For now it is just running water thru it to leak test, but so far, so good. im amazed how much free pressure I have in my system. with one pump, I am running the chiller, the skimmer (mr2 with a side open 1" pipe) the UV, the tank, the Coil denitrator, and now the CA reactor and will also do a carbon reactor too.

 

No reason to be embarrassed. Yhe tank looks awesome! I love your aquascape. Looks very natural. The tank looks pretty mature, at lease in that pic. It's coming along nicely!

 

I am inspired by your tank. Very nice job P.
