DCReefer1964 September 23, 2013 Author Share September 23, 2013 Well forgot to post my decision on a sump and skimmer solution. Went with a 45 breeder for sump. I will use the Oceanic 150 sump and cut it up for baffles. I think the tinted glass would look cool. As for the skimmer the Deltec is just too big for this build. I will use it for the 135 gallon rimless, and use the Black Pearl CS2 for this one. Back to the Avast Marine theme!!! Chime in with recommendations.

I have to remind myself to take the KISS method sometimes, don't overthink your sump too much, or we'll never see this thing wet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TapaTalk does that some time for some odd reason. Moderator please fix. In addition you have not heard of Negative gravity reefkeeping upside down is rightside up!!!!!

If you could copy it over to Photobucket, manipulate it there, and insert the link that way, maybe it would help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Origami September 23, 2013 Share September 23, 2013 ^^That's one way to do it. Looks like you moved it to your WAMAS gallery after correcting the orientation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCReefer1964 October 19, 2013 Author Share October 19, 2013 Nothing new to report. Spent time setting up a tank for the meeting and get the rubbermaid out of the garage. Holding tank turned into it's own build. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCReefer1964 October 20, 2013 Author Share October 20, 2013 They are large pieces. I have had them for 11 years. In and out of different builds. Did you see the Deltec that is 2 days worth wet Skimmate , and it stinks bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zygote2k October 20, 2013 Share October 20, 2013 keep those yellow polyps in a shaded area away from light and they'll stay canary yellow. keep them in the light and they'll turn dark yellow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCReefer1964 October 20, 2013 Author Share October 20, 2013 keep those yellow polyps in a shaded area away from light and they'll stay canary yellow. keep them in the light and they'll turn dark yellow. Will do. When I finish installing the substrate I will relocate them. Man the grow like weeds as well. That is another reason to move them. I use to keep small coral chunks around them to keep them from taking over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
