Hello,
I just wanted to say hello to everyone. I have been away from reef tanks for about 4 years. I just got back into the addiction with a finnex 30 m tank. seems like a pretty nice tank. just put it up and am on the 2nd day of its cycle. . I have 15 pounds of old base rock and 15 pounds of LR. I also have about 15 pounds of live sand.
the tank came with a skimmer. the finnex one. I will probably upgrade that one later with a remora or a tunze.
I have the 250w hqi and 2 36w t-5's, it also has 2 small moon lights mounted in the set up. pretty neat.
when I got the tank from shipping I had to hook up the fan to the lights because the factory guy never did that part I guess. the wires were still in plastic. hehehe.
I also had to adjust the refugium light because it was crammed in to a tight space and done in a hurry I think. those two things only took about a half hour and wasnt too much of an issue.
the skimmer venturi nipple was broken tho. so I am waiting on that part from finnex now. no problems getting a replacement. just a quick e mail.
I am thinking of getting a chiller in there soon. it doesnt want to get below 82degrees even in front of a cool breeze from the cooler. Another reason to get AC next year! YAY!
I had hoped to do an in wall with this tank and a couple of sattelite 4 gallons around it. wife won:hammer: she did say I can do it when I finish the living room remodel:hammer:
I will pop a few pictures in here in a little bit. the tank is pretty barren except for the whitish looking rock. maybe in a month I will have some more color in it.
nice to meet you .
have a good day
