New skimmer is crazy right?

 

[duke62]

Bro the skimmer is insane the amount of skimmate im pulling out a week. and there is like solid material floating on top lol

 

[strgazr27]

My RO XS200 was the sickest skimmer I have owned. And there will be another on my new build....Tank looks good.

 

[duke62]

its the bubble blaster

 

[strgazr27]

Nice pump. Mine came w the Sicce PSK-1000 and it was nuts. Even Jermy couldn't believe it when he saw it running..

Figured i would post a pic of this monster anemone. Charlethetuna gave me this beast in march. It was a 3x3 anemone and it found a great spot to perch. When i feed the tank the food gets blown in his direction and as you can see enjoys what it eats LOL. It is now just around 12x12

Couple of tank shots from the phone. Tank is really coming along Just realized i upgraded some equipment from my first post. I now have the SRO 3000 skimmer,3 AI units for lighting and got a frag tank plumbed into my system. Im thinking of soon upgrading to a 150 gallon gallon 5FTx2x2 when i sell my motorcycle i want it custom made with starfire glass just in the front. If i can find a manufacturer that has these measurements i might just go with them depending on the company.

[Pielucha]

Duke that looks really nice !! What lights do you use?

 

[duke62]

[strgazr27]

If you've got the cash give Reef Savy a call. Hands down some I the most beautiful tanks made. Another custom tank I have seen are the DAS tanks. http://www.petstorefixtures.com/Aquariums.html
Why not talk to Russ about a 250DD?

 

[duke62]

Nah i have no where to put a 250. 150 is all i can do and that is pushing it

 

[nanoreefer22]

:wow: Looking really good! (like you :flirt

 

[duke62]

just looked in my older posts on this thread and noticed my copperband is now 1 year and 1 week old in my system

 

[strgazr27]

The 250 is 60" long by 36" deep. You don't have the 12" more depth front to back?

 

[duke62]

i probably do i just dont want to get more lights. With the 150 all i will need is 1 more AI. With the 250 i would need 3. And another skimmer,bigger reactors and to much water volume. Im not doing 25 gallon water changes a week LOL

 

[strgazr27]

Get lights w better coverage lmao. Once a week water changes? Damn boy your OCD lol. Go big or go home...

 

[duke62]

haha. i do 2 water changes a week now 150 is my big. if i had a bigger house and back to work i would have gone bigger. i will be happy with a 150
