Well I added a new perc to my tank today. I have a 15 year old female and was scare to add the male but she took it well. At first she did chase him around biting him in the tale but after a few she kind of just left him along and now they are always together.

So how do You like the T5 setup? I might by selling my LED's and ism looking at ATI T5's

 

[tahiriqbal]

How are your shaving brush doing in the sump? Tank looks great and well done.

1. Why did you get rid of your BRS dual reactor? 2. Why one mp40 vs. two mp10's?
Thanks!

 

[ek9vboi]

Looks great bro, you'll love the ATI fixture.

The T5 looks great beautiful color only thing I dont like is there is no shimmer.
I was thinking of LED's in the future you dont like the LED's?

How are your shaving brush doing in the sump? Tank looks great and well done.

The Shaving brush didnt do all that well lasted a few weeks before it died I have now mangroves and chaeto and both are doing great.
Thanks

1. Why did you get rid of your BRS dual reactor? 2. Why one mp40 vs. two mp10's?
Thanks!

The BRS reactor was to big and bulky for my space. The mp10's worked fine but I was having problems with the wet side falling because my glass is 1/2 thick and mp10's only recommend 3/8 or less.

Looks great bro, you'll love the ATI fixture.

Thanks

Subscribed! I was just forced into getting a new tank because mine cracked down the back when I put a sump in, lol I ended up getting the 57g deep blue rimless reef ready, I did actually buy the stand that was meant for it, with the annoying front doors that have a piece of wood in the way, but I have everything hooked up and it should do the trick! I wasnt exactly sure how to hook up the plumbing but your thread gave me some ideas thanks!

Nice light upgrade, puts out ton of par.

 

[TucanSam007]

very nice upgrade. Just put the sun power over my 65 gallon and love it. I had ecotech radions before over my 37 and sold it. Tons of par for sps . Subscribed, whats your bulb combo?

I like this setup so far, debating wether to go GE 6500 or not instead of the C+ I'll see how growth is so far, color is superb

Hey endy
Been watching this tank for a while , been doing great , upgrading well everything looks good I have my 57 down haven't set it up yet I'm missing a couple pieces to get it started. Just wanted to ask you , how high is your sunpower fixture? I have mines brand new in the box lol waiting w my tank waiting to
Be set up , also do you have any heat issues with it?
Thanks

 

[shaggy]

Tank is looking great...
Love those Rimless tanks

 

[Finkle]

+1 subscribed. I have seen this tank in the local stores here and love the size. I have a BioCube 29 HQI converted to LED and its time to grow up. The 57 looks like a nice size to get in to.

 

[fredanthony]

I recently purchased the swc120 for my 57g, Works really well, pulls allot of skimmate and is pretty quite. Also the price is right, I've read mixed reviews on both, I guess it's hit or miss. Link to my tank http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2045338

Porkyboy,

Did you build the stand yourself? If so can you shoot me over some specs, dimensions for the stand? If you didn't can you send me the link to where you got it? Thanks.

How does the 36" ATI look on the 30" Rimless tank? I am setting up a 57 and I really wanted to use an ATI t5 fixture but I was worried that the overhang might look stupid?
