If you have answers, please help by responding to the unanswered posts.
Upon the suggestion to do so I went back to the store and got a few more plants. Here are the pictures, please excuse the cloudiness!
Also I took individual pictures of the plants, if someone could ID them that would be great!
Hello,
Some of you may have seen that I was planning on setting up a 14 gallon Bio-Cube, but I ended up going with the 29 instead. The money difference was not enough to keep me from doing the upgrade. I feel like I would be kicking myself later if I did not do it!
Anyways, the tank was set...
Thanks for the compliments!
The light cycle is as follows-
6:30 AM 18watt T-5 comes on
1:00PM Both 400watt Halides come on
9:00 PM Both 400 watt halides go off
11:00PM T-5 goes off
I also have a fan for cooling that comes on with a temperature control. I forgot to add that the whole system...
Yeah, I believe that the lights are more than beneficial for the SPS. It is interesting how some of the SPS, that are supposed to be "high light", do in my system!
I also have a 40 breeder Zoa and acan tank, well now rics too. I will have to get pics up of it as well!

Sure-
The tank is running off two 400 watt XM 20K halides in LumenBright reflectors. They are run on BlueLine E-Ballasts.
For a skimmer I am using a Octopus Extreme 200, and am running a 15 watt UV.
I am running a Korallin Calcium Reactor, and a pH based Kalk dosing system.
If there is...
Thanks for the information! I read that and it is certainly interesting!
I think I may try the DIY. I tried doing a search on it but came up with nothing. Is there a specific forum or thread that has all the info about it?
Thanks,
Matt
Thanks a lot for the information! This looks very similar to how I have my calcium reactor for saltwater hooked up!
A couple questions-
The bubble checker... How does it work?
Also I have heard negative things on the yeast CO2 generator. Have you had success with it? Is it difficult...
Hello,
Since I am just starting a freshwater tank and have no pics to show I figured I would post some of my reef-
This is a 90 gallon reef with mostly SPS!
Enjoy,
Matt
The tank looks fantastic! Something for me to aspire to with my new setup! I was wondering how you are dosing CO2 and where you got one for a smaller tank. Any information on how you are doing that would be great!
Matt
Thank you for the info!
after doing some research I have a few questions.
Obviously I have a smaller tank and the reading says that it would be over done to add a CO2 system. But since my tank is a higher light tank would you recommend a CO2 dosing system? Or would the Flourish Excel by...
Ok cool, thanks for the information! I am currently soaking the driftwood in RO water. What would be the ideal temperature and pH to keep the tank at? Also what are acceptable Nitrate levels for the tank?
