DuffyGeos October 30, 2014 Author Share October 30, 2014 1. You're missing Mr. Lightning on that list 2. I LOVE LOVE LOVE sunbursts! 3. +1 on Isaac's advice 4. I can't wait to see the mini-ocean! 1- Mr Lightning will be moving into the 16g upstairs once I get a frag tank up and running so I can move out the snowflake, PJ cardinal, and the Royal Gramma. He will have a tank almost to himself, I will have to find someone else that can put up with the nasty attitude I think he will develop. Damsel's? 2- So do I, I want to see them all school 3-Yea, I think all the big boys will have to go in last. I just hear that some of them don't always get along. I do know that I should probably introduce them all at one time. 4- Thanks, neither can I! I just want to see fish everywhere!, as long as the system can handle it.

DuffyGeos October 30, 2014 Author Share October 30, 2014 this build is amazing! Thank you for the compliment! It is one of those things where I have wanted to do this for about 20 years, but it never made sense at the time. Now it is just WTH, let's do it! I have been researching for about a year.

DuffyGeos October 30, 2014 Author Share October 30, 2014 I'm interested in the reef genesis system. But is it worth $650? When the day comes that I get my 300g DD up and running, I want an automatic water change system in place. I am thinking something like 4g per day. I'll have to see yours when it's up and running and see how it works and how happy you are with it. I can't help but wonder if a cheaper alternative could be created with some dosing pumps (run 5 hours/day), and a 55g barrel with fresh saltwater. One pump would pump the fresh in, the other would pump tank water down a drain. Wouldn't that work just as well? Perhaps using a new Neptune pump instead of the BRS peralistic pumps? Ryan, All I know is I have a pile of pieces on the floor and Haywood told me I should buy it! No really, I had read about them, thought it was a great idea, Marco has one (so it can't be that bad). It popped up for sale in Columbus Ohio where I was heading in 2 weeks, and I got a good price on it, based on the 8 people that lined up behind me if I bailed. So I don't think I would have a problem selling it. I saw it up and running on the guys system and he explained how the whole thing works, and how it was set up. Then we took it down, and I have a video of the entire process so I should have a better idea how it goes back together. I have a weird schedule, work from home, in and out, and can be around for days or gone for days, so I decided if I was going to do this that I needed a fairly automated system. ( Now if Justin would come out with that automatic frozen food feeder I would be set)! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DuffyGeos October 31, 2014 Author Share October 31, 2014 The real reason I went to Columbus was to watch the Hokies kick the Buckeyes butts in the Horseshoe!! Go Hokies!!!

(even if that is the only good football we have played all year) Don't show this to your wife :laugh: Grrr... I take back all the nice things I said about your build. Go BUCKEYES! Ken was gracious enough to give me a tour the other night when I was in his neighborhood (OK, I came specifically for the tour and the local DSW might have jsut been an excuse). His facility (that's what I'm calling it) is incredible. Every detail has been thought of and accounted for here. The tank itself is only the highlight, but the rest of it is just as impressive. You can tell how much thought Ken put into each step. It almost made me want to buy a house. Almost. And the facility has a gift shop too! I should have taken video, lol.

We have already been through this Hokie vs. Buckeye battle before...We walked into Columbus major underdogs, and walked out champions of the battle. My brother -in-law is still mad. All time winning average in football games of Hokies vs. Buckeyes.....100% Hokies...nuf said. You are way too kind with your review of my old basement storage room- now fishroom.
