surf&turf January 20, 2017 January 20, 2017 Very nice, I'm sure one of the mod's can fix the pics for you.
LoCoReefer January 20, 2017 January 20, 2017 Nice build, in regards to the image problem. Go create a free account on imgur and upload your images there. Once that is done you will be able to copy the BBCode that is used to correctly display images into the forums. You can watch the video below for help.

Lowefx January 20, 2017 Author January 20, 2017 Moved topic to the Dedicated Tank Build forum.Can you fix those pictures for me also? Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk
Apcoleman January 20, 2017 January 20, 2017 looking forward to following this build. Sometimes I do miss running zeovit. My warning would be to be careful with using Reef Crystals. It has a much higher alk content than regular IO or other popular salts in the zeo community and could cause an alk spike after a water change. If my alk ever went over 7.5 I would end up with burnt tips running ULNS.
Origami January 20, 2017 January 20, 2017 Can you fix those pictures for me also? Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk The first post can be edited in this forum. There's a tutorial here (somewhere) on how to upload an image to a Wamas gallery or to an image hosting service and linking to it here. I can't really "fix" your images unless I upload them to my personal galleries. Sent from my LG-V510 using Tapatalk
LoCoReefer January 21, 2017 January 21, 2017 I see you were able to create an imgur account and upload your pictures. Now in order for you to make the size acceptable and not super large make sure you select one of the smaller sizes below before copying the BBCode.
Lowefx January 21, 2017 Author January 21, 2017 Lol, looking on tapatalk, it seems sized correctly. Hahah. Thanks for the pointer, I hope you don't have dial up AOL. I was using my sister's macro lense. Other pictures will be from my Samsung Galaxy Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk
Lowefx January 27, 2017 Author January 27, 2017 Just did another weekly water change. Here is some photos with all lights on. 2x150mh Phoenix 14k bulbs, 4 T5's (all ATI 2xsuper atinic, 1x blue plus, 1x coral plus) I'm open for recommendations. Thanks for looking.

Lowefx February 17, 2017 Author February 17, 2017 Does anyone have any advise on dinos or diatoms? ??? I've done all of the precautions and changed all cartidges in ro/di 2 weeks ago, still 000. I do weekly 15-20 gal water changes using reef crystals. I'll suck all of it out and 3 days later it's back. I feed light too. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk
ReefAddict February 21, 2017 February 21, 2017 Hard to tell 100% in the pic, but I would lean more towards diatoms. If so, it usually runs its cycle and goes away on its own. You could try running GFO or other kind of phosphate/silicate remover and see if that helps.
Lowefx March 15, 2017 Author March 15, 2017 (edited) I've made progress on the dinos. Here's some pictures of some new items. Who else is a Wilsoni fan??? Any house keeping advise is welcome! Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk Edited March 15, 2017 by Lowefx
Lowefx April 5, 2017 Author April 5, 2017 Changed Metal Halide bulbs to the Hamilton 20k double ended 150w and now i have 2 ATI Blue plus, 1 ATI Super Atinic, and 1 coral plus. Its more of a blue color but thats okay with me, i want the more vibrant colors. heres a few additions (dont mind me sharing the kids room)
Lowefx April 22, 2017 Author April 22, 2017 A few pictures with the new Samsung S8+ on auto Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk

Lowefx May 6, 2017 Author May 6, 2017 How about a current FTS?Ask and you shall receive. I like to keep the rock to a minimum and thinking about getting rid of the sand soon, going to bare bottom. Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk
Lowefx May 11, 2017 Author May 11, 2017 In water, night shot, with moonlight LEDs only. I love this new S8+ Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk
sethsolomon May 11, 2017 May 11, 2017 I miss those old school oceanic tanks. they were built so well. I have been trying to track down an oceanic 165 hyper bow to no avail. Great build thread. going to follow along to see how it grows in.
Lowefx September 8, 2018 Author September 8, 2018 Little update this morning with the moon lights and the Aquaclip. More info to follow later.. Sent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk
