Need feedback : Place mangroves in a mix of mud and sand into a 12" cube and place the cube in the corner of the tank. I will then take rock to cover the 12" cube Make a deep 6-7" sandbed and have the mangroves in the middle of the tank California Academy of Sciences This is sort of the corner look I am talking about

Took a trip to the California Academy of Sciences on 11/09, and between that and Giga's tanks, put me over the edge. Equipment 18" Low Iron Cube 70w FNI Metal Halide DoAqua! Lily pipes Eheim 2213 canister filter Hydor Inline 200w heater Live stuff Red Mangroves - Ordered a few 16" on 11/10 Chocolate chip stars - When ready Bangaii or yellow striped cardinals - When Ready Cleaner Shrimp Various crabs Thanks for looking!

Thanks man. Planning my Ashburn trip for beginning of december, so need to come check out your new place and tank.

Might have been low 60's. I will be back at my parents in NJ for thanksgiving, and going up to penn state for the final game. Might freeze to death haha I remember coming home from penn state during thanksgiving and christmas breaks to wearing shorts in NJ during 30 degree weather because I was used to it being in the low teens at school. How 4 years makes a difference.

Thanks, can't wait to start putting some sps frags in. Have a piece of Idaho grape in now and it is doing well. Academy of Sciences was incredible. I want to set up like 10 new tanks, but one will suffice Roof was pretty cool. "Cold" and foggy day though so didn't stay up there for too long. I'm so disappointed in how weak I've gone with temperatures over the last year of living out here. So the tank I'm setting up this weekend : 18" cube 6-7" sand bed 20" mangroves 70w 10k MH Lily pipes Canister filter Yellow stripe or bangaii cardinals Chocolate chip stars

Went to California Academy of Sciences today. So inspired by their shallow reef and mangroves. I will have a new tank setup hopefully next weekend based off the inspiration. If you want to see all the pics : http://www.nano-reef.com/topic/353438-california-academy-of-sciene/ Mangroves Shallow reef Lighting

Good morning on the reef Not the best picture but got the Midas out on an early morning swim Love the natural sunlight

I would say 8-10 hours is most common

Ended up ordering an ATI 4x24w and it is being sent directly to nanobox Dave for 4 led pucks

totes Bare bottom + gyre = flow for days

putting a gyre in this?

Some crappy pics 5minutes after glueing

Any updates?

We mutually backed out of the deal. Was gonna cost too much to ship :( Now leaning towards getting a 6x24w and sending it, along with one of my old nanobox fixtures, and have the 4 led pucks put into the ATI fixture.

I think nanoreef is by far the best forum out there. I use both r2r and rc, mostly just for the selling sections and my build threads. If I feel like randomly browsing and looking at big tanks, I go to rc.

That's right. You should sell it now

You have the halide/t5 over your frag tank?!?! I feel like we've messaged about this before. I need it.

Those are nice. I like the addition of the halide thought. ATI makes a similar led/t5 combo.

I wish it was a geismann. But have given up on finding one

Haven't received it yet. But it is an Ocean light Plus with 150w halide, 2 24w t5, and 2 NanoBox 13up led pucks. Halide - 10k (will ask what brand) T5 - ATI blue plus and ATI purple plus Coming from Rehype. Sure some people have heard of him. Ecotech just sent him a light to test out, so he was selling this one.

All corals are in the new tank. Can't get the Midas Blenny out of it's hiding spot. I can take the rock out of water and just state at it inside it's hiding spot lol.

SPS Can you get any sexy shrimp? (Regardless of the live sale)
