Man that is a beauty! About how many lbs of liverock is that?

Mike

 

[MacnReef]

Man, thats the way to do it...just looking at your amperage and it can't be that much...especially with that little return 90 watts!!! I wish I could go back to my 180 and make some changes

Mike

 

[thrlride]

I think it is around 130 pounds. I'd like to add another 100 or so pounds. I don't want the height to change much, rather the rock come forward more.

 

[MacnReef]

I am trying to get about 100-200 lbs of live rock today.

Mike

 

[thrlride]

What are you going to do now?

 

[MacnReef]

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

 

[thrlride]

200 pounds not going to be in that 8g nano.

So, tell me if I miss anything.

29 to 90 to 180 to 29 to 54 to 120 to 8 all in under three years?

 

[iCam]

[thrlride]

Thanks Cam!

Maybe I will stick to something.....hmmm, maybe not.

Mike

 

[thrlride]

LOL, how do you do it? An upgrade is quite stressful to me...

 

[MacnReef]

Well, unfortunately, most of my tanks never really have much in them because I change them so fast...lol

But your right, that liverock wont fit in my 5.5. It will go in vats for now...its such a good deal, I can't pass on it.

Mike

I need to find a good deal on rock. I can't afford to pay full price for the amount I need so I might end up with base rock.

i've gotten some from Chad a couple times. http://www.reefscience.com/ very nice rock.

Hey, do you have any pictures of the skimmer with the mods? The reason I am asking is because I am looking at getting an ASM G4X.

Mike

 

[thrlride]

actually I don't think I took any after the mods but I can.

Very simple to do. 1 3/4" hole saw and a 1" uniseal for the pump then drill a hole for the skimmer feed and you're done.

So, lots of rock and a decent sized skimmer, what are you working on?
