Cully's 120 build

[Capt_Cully]

Joe, I maintain, this is hands down, the nicest stand I've ever seen. Ever!

Listen be patient when you get to trying to program your lights on ESL. It can be a VERY frustrating experience. Especially on a PC Do yourself a favor and do it on a weekday when tech support is available...:headwally:

What a great build Mark as always! Just finished reading all 6 pages. I haven't gotten on as much and maybe I missed it but are you going to be using your previous livestock?

 

[Capt_Cully]

Thanks. I still have my purple & Tomini tangs, and my clowns. I lost EVERYTHING else. I'll be looking to filler up again. Going to lean to more LPS a few SPS, more zoas than I used to have. Of course I need to find a frag of TT.

I didn't really find it too difficult. I felt it was pretty straightforward. The tank is looking great let us know how the bacteria works for you.

 

[Capt_Cully]

WOW! The bacteria in a bottle when combined with 78 degree water becomes a 140 gallon fart scented air freshner. P-yewwww!!!!

nice, looking good! you can program the lights without the WXM - the WXM works great with the scotch pumps, for radian control it works well, not as nice as the ecosmart line right now - that will likely change when APEX fusion comes out which is a free upgrade

Cully I don't believe I've ever seen your tank look that bare . Just think of all the things to come with time.

By the way I can't believe you lost your Todds. I remember seeing that in your 180 tank in person in the old house. Seems like forever ago now.

 

[Capt_Cully]

Yeah....that one hurt...

 

[Johnny C]

That is the most over-engineered DIY sump I've ever seen! :lol:

The tank is shaping up nicely... I like your DIY solution for mounting the fixtures, too.

 

[Capt_Cully]

What can I say? It's Pascals fault. He forces you to over think it. It's outside of my normal mouth breathing comfort zone.

I don't remember laying a hand on that sump

 

[Capt_Cully]

Few mods. My opaque, anti-algae, anti-critter trap doors. Camo is my favorite color, but I happened to have some stickum camo.





Also tapping into the Beananimal Emergency drain for a place to have my ATO empty into (back right) Only evaporating about a gallon a day right now. Like to make that line run from a kalk vat. Still messing around with designs.

 

[pascal32]

nice! can't even see the critter doors are there

are you running the vent of the secondary drain (open) into the tank so it full siphons if the tank level gets high?

 

[Capt_Cully]

Yes, I was about to do that when I got the idea to run ATO into the other line. Time ran out though. Management shut down maintenance time for the evening.

 

[jacksonpt]

Any updates on your front to back gyre? I'm still struggling with flow in my tank...

 

[Capt_Cully]

Tanks still cycling. At a standstill between trying to figure out my Apex and absolutely struggling with the Radion OS, or should I say POS.

 

[RyanEG]

Looks like the starts of another great system Mark.

As I am looking for a new skimmer myself, just wondering why you choose the Skimz brand
