Etomp's 34 Red Sea Max

[EmilyT]

yeah i just looked at my "foot" and saw a teeny tube connecting the live to the "dead" im glad im getting another! i have so many teeny ones already that im hoping will grow up!

 

[EmilyT]

haha the worms are living the life! i turn off the lights when i give the tank a little food for my hitchhikers and they all pop out and crawl all over.
i should get my conch a treadmill because its done 2 laps around the rim of my tank since 3 pm! not bad for a mollusk! will she settle down abit?

 

[crox99]

My conch never climbed the glass. I guess he was too big.:Yikes:

 

[EmilyT]

shes a little conch about 1 and a half inches long. she did about 5 laps around my tank last night until she finally settled a retracted her head into her shell shes still on the rim though

What is the address of the store? Also, how much are they charging for the 34 gal Red Sea tank? I was just looking at one for $799 in Murray Hill.
Any help would be apprciated.

Agree!

Your well on your way. Is it going to be a softie tank?

 

[EmilyT]

IMO softies and lps are alot cooler than sps. the t5's claim to be good enough for sps but i dont trust them. im not really thinking about that right now. i have to focus on getting a RO/DI unit and a refractometer

 

[SuRFeR BoY]

your tank is pimp status... i like the setup, its sweet. i have t5s they are good enough for sps. btw i went from softies to lsp to all three softie, lsp and sps :p

Everywhere I look I can only find this tank with PC lights not T5. Did they upgrade the lighting for you?

 

[EmilyT]

i dont think so chief. it says it has t5's in the manual. maybe the other places have ripped u off by taking out the stock lighting
i got mine pre-assembled and the price of the tank was equivalent to the price of the tank and the stand together online. that may be a reason for the "upgraded" lighting. im glad that i dont have to upgrade anything with the setup its really great!

Nice start E.

i dont have the carbon or biomedia in there under the pumps. the guy said to leave out the ceramic cylinders and put in the carbon after my tank cycles. since my tank doesnt seem to be cycling, should i add the carbon?

 

[SuRFeR BoY]

what do the parameters read and how long has it been running? since you are using cured live rock, live sand and live water, i think you may have taken the easy way out your reef may only go through a mini cycle
.. you prob should just wait for it to mature now.

 

[ssmtcarlo]

what it has are t5 power compacts. T5 is the size of the tube its not T5Ho bulbs its PCs

 

[EmilyT]

haha thanx i was struggling to find the meaning of what t5s were lol

 

[ScubaChinchilla]

nice setup

 

[Chiefmcfuz]

Yes t5 power compacts 55 w are just plain old 55w pc lights.
