Beautiful!

 

[reeffreak]

Looks like the move when fairly smoothly,good luck!

 

[daugherty]

well here it is all cleared up still trying to get the sump made. who knows if it will ever work it may be to tall with the skimmer.

 

[RyanG]

James you could alway run the skimmer externally.

 

[daugherty]

I was thinking about that but i am not shure how to do it because i am not going to have that much room only about 6 inches on either end and about 5-6 in the front. we made the stand taller but is it tall enough.

 

[daugherty]

well i had a little diatom breakout and it is going away but my concern is that it is all over parts of my birds nest and i can not get it off every time i try i break it. i have also tried to put in in front of my return biut it just wont come off. any ideas?

 

[Piggy]

Your tank is looking good. Thanks for the pics.

 

[yote]

Try shading the birdsnest for a day or 2.That might help.

 

[daugherty]

i try moveing it thanks yote

 

[daugherty]

hey do you think if i just ran the attinics and the 14k mh that the diatoms will go away? or just the attinics.

 

[Bifferwine]

Diatoms aren't as light dependent as other algaes, so I don't think it'd matter that much. You can't really "make" diatoms go away. They come and go on their own and there's not much you can do about it.

that is what i was afraid of i never had them until i switched tanks.

 

[daugherty]

i just added more live rock(40lbs)to the sump. i noe have close to 250 lbs in the tank and sump now. my sump is now packed with rock. ill have to get a pic

 

[daugherty]

here is the sump i finaly got going and all the rock that i added the tank is 36"lx15"dx21"t

 

[yote]

Thats a lot of rock.But should make for an awesome reef.

 

[daugherty]

almost all of it was free so i could not pass on it. my father in law sold his house and gave me most of the rock that would not fit in his new biocube

 

[yote]

Thats even better.
Can I borrow your father-in-law to help get my 125 set up?:mrgreen:

 

[daugherty]

shure come on down. he is setting up a fish room when his new house gets built. and is in the works of getting ready to setup 6 or 7 large tanks in it

 

[RyanG]

James you should have pods crawling out of your ears in no time!

 

[daugherty]

that is what i am hoping for and just to make my system very stable.
