thats starting to look like my skimmer. I only have 14 fish in my tank and my skimmer is just looking bored these days. That refugium seems to be doing its job nicely.. your one hell of a algae farmer!
 
Very nice. I added my cleaner to my 90 and it pasted away a couple days ago. He would actually fight for his food and he would get some every so often.

danskim - no nemos yet, i was leaning toward the pr. black & white in few months :D.


No NEMOS?!
Haha.. yeah the black and white ones are really cool. Are you gonna give them a carpet anemone to live in?
 
thirschmann - skimmer was pulling out some serious nog few months back, but now is taking a break :D

patmack - thanks, having a big fuge helps out a lot

Reeftanks6 - are you taking about cleaner wrasse? these guys are very difficult to keep and need a lot of nori and variety of foods. mine eats pretty much anything i throw at him

danskim - thanks i was thinking to use my colt coral or frogspawn :D
 
Incredible setup cbui2! I finally caught up to your tank thread and your tank it's coming together nicely! :)
 
I'm thinking most plumbers would wake up in a cold sweet after dreaming about how to do that job! I'm seriously Impressed! WoW!

Nuuze & tomasga - thanks

wpnorton - thanks my friend is licensed plumber and couldn't believed what i did for first time around :D

Reeftanks6 - ok, could we get FTS yet

NanoGurl - thanks, PBT been doing very well and way over weight.

no new updates as the system been doing great. just added 6201 but still looking for another one along with 7095 controller. all of the calcium reactor products has arrived few weeks back so probably be installing it soon since all the corals are taking a lot of supplements lately.
 
Hey guys!! Guess I am pretty late to the party but wanted to stop by and say great work!! I was checking this out early on but somehow lost the thread. Now I found it from jarheads 'build/plan' :D

anyways bart, I was wondering about your tradewinds outside configuration. would you happen to have a link to the page where you talk about what it took to get it running outside? I am getting the tradewinds 1/2hp chiller and want to do the exact same thing.

I noticed you have a goodwin metal case on it. Did you replace the default case because there are not enough air vents in it? or some other reason?
Any other tips you can provide about that will be very appreciated.

oh ya I remember when I lost the thread.... it was when you pretended to be quitting on us!!!! :lol: at the time I thought you were serious. such a jokester :lol:
 
Bart mention something about they convert the home AC unit into a chiller. I don't think your 1/2hp will look like that tho
 
ohhh I have one of those waiting in my garage in Florida. I can't wait to be as cool as Bart :P

lol, funny thing is I haven't even seen the thing, still crated up just like the day it was delivered.
 
Tom what size was your chiller? we still waiting for you to come back and finish your awesome build.
