What did you use for your black background? Did you paint, use window tint, or something else?

Everything is looking good!

I'm using Canon Rebel XTI

Which lens are you using in those pictures?

Can you show a pic of the display tank? Can you also show a pic of the refugium? In the pic of the stand and tank, what is that below in the stand, can't see it since everything is black?

For display tank I used black tint, for refugium I used very thin plastic sheets.

Which lens are you using in those pictures?


Leslie

Leslie, I'm using Canon 100mm macro lens.

Can you show a pic of the display tank? Can you also show a pic of the refugium?

I will take few more pictures in next few days.

In the pic of the stand and tank, what is that below in the stand, can't see it since everything is black?

Chiller.

Thank You and Happy Father's Day.

Updates
Project "refugium" came to the end:celeb3:

Plenum

DSB is about 3 1/2 to 3 3/4 inches. I may add another inch later, but not now.

And refugium is online

Back into darkness

Very nice brother. Roman does some of the nicest fabricating, I have seen. As nice as anyone in the industry. We are lucky to have him here in the City.
Can I ask a question? Why the egg crate under the dsb? Thanks .

 

[indoreefer]

GregC I pm'd you about the 29g hex

 

[happysak]

Wayne, I wanted to try DSB with plenum. Good information about DSB.

 

[The Punisher]

Very interesting, haven't seen a lot about your refugium idea, I'll have to look that up. I do like seeing new techniques.

updates

updates

Time is for updates
New skimmer was delivered today:bounce2: courtesy of Edmond LFS.
Packaging is great, so skimmer is in one piece.

Bubble bluster pump. Very solid

Build quality is great. I couldn't find a single flow.

And skimmer in action

 

[happysak]

Skimmer is Reef Octopus 1000sss cone. It will replace Vortex in100. I will update in a few days about skimmer's performance.


And my picture of the week. "Please, don't eat me"

Cheers, Roman

 

[Lytehouse]

very nice looking skimmer

 

[Reef Happy]

Nice skimmer and small in sump. How many gallons is the skimmer rated for?

 

[The Punisher]

That's a nice looking skimmer. I do believe that's the skimmer I'm going to end up going with once I decide to order mine.

 

[RoganTerrance]

looks good

Nice skimmer! I've been eyeballing those or the SWC skimmers for my next upgrade to the tank. My skimmer and return pump are my two weakest links. I think the return can be helped out by ditching the needle wheel and putting on a real impeller. It just dawned on me today that the OR2500 return I'm using has their skimmer needle wheel impeller instead of the solid water mover. Please be sure to update us on the skimmer's performance over time. I'm very curious.

 

[Tim Plow]

Nice system and skimmer...any updated full tank shots?

Also, how are you liking the new Hanna Phosphate Checker? Have you had pretty consistent readings?

Thank you. Doug, I belive, that skimmer is rated for 125gal.

That's a nice looking skimmer. I do believe that's the skimmer I'm going to end up going with once I decide to order mine.

Yes, I like this skimmer more then Vertex. Vertex is good skimmer, great quality, but needs a different pump

looks good

Thank you

Dejavu, I got skimmer with or2500 with regular impeller no needle wheel. Also my mag7 needs to go. I'm looking in tunze or eheim return pump.

Thank you. Tim, no full tank shots. I wasn't really happy with rockwork, so I'm in process of redoing it right now. I dump Hanna Checker, at low PHO4 levels I couldn't get good readings. It was doing fine in higher levels >0.1.
