500G (84X48X30)- NOW REAL !

[Sanjay]

Sanjay, tank looks great!!!! I just picked up some tabling acros and hope the grow as fast as yours do. Time to replace bulbs and am debating on keeping the Reeflux 12Ks (seem more blue than the Radium 20k) or trying your Geismann 14Ks. I am running digital ballasts, one Lumatek and two that I am told are made by Lumenarc (I am told that Galaxy, Lumatek and Lumenarc are all made by the same mfgr.) What might your expert opinion be?

Personally, I do not like to change if things are going well. If you like the Blue look you will not be happy with the Giesmann 14Ks. They are a nice white bulb.

I do not know if these ballasts are made by the same manufacturers, but there is very little significant differences between the electronic ballasts as far as operation is concerned.

Simply amazing! Best of luck with the leak.

 

[Sanjay]

Is that a soli or an efflo? Its amazing, any idea how large it is? 24 inches?

I could not tell you what it is. When I first got it I could not tell it was even going to table out. You can see it in the pictures here on what it looked like 18 months ago .....

That was an encrusting orange moni... M. nodosa (or something like that), from live aquaria.

Yes, the leak is where the new seam from the front glass meets the old seams for the side panel.

Are you going to get the tank builder to make the repair?

 

[Sanjay]

I am not counting on help from the tank builder. Its three years old now, so I am sure that there is no warranty anymore. Plus, I can't get a hold of them to even get any advice .

Hi Sanjay ive got a few questions

- Do you use any T5's for actinic supplementation? If so how many?
- How often do you do a water change?
- What kind of calcium reactor and skimmer are you using?

Thanks

who built the tank?

I believe it was Aquarium Obsessed.

 

[Sanjay]

I am not blaming AO for any poor workmanship. These things can happen to the best of builds. I just want to take care of it in as permanent of a fashion as I can without having to drain the tank.

Sanjay,

I'm sorry to hear about this.

I know you are an engineer and you will find a solution to the problem. Good luck and keep us posted.
