this thread is far from done

I thought we could make the 25,000 .We still need more.

 

[naprestsleep]

Well if everyone add the salt water they got on "reserve" for water changes, etc. we will go over 25000 easily.

do FW tanks count? my dad has a 90 gallon FW tank in the house too. (hes into FW... im the SW person)

 

[tmz]

Maybe we could claim freshwater tanks as super hyposalinity treatment tanks.. Hey if Chris (acdranidrps) can crack the ice on his swimming pool,throw in a little salt and a few chunks of krill, can we can count it as a cycling tank

 

[*L*]

21,429 from above + 125g display + 35g in sump +10g fish jail =21,599

 

[josepha]

Well, I can put us over the 22,000 mark.
300G tank + 40G RDSB + 40 Sump + 50G Refugium = 430G + 21599 = 22029
I agree with Gary, we are far from done...

 

[sedorusc]

22029+35=22064

 

[suppressivefire]

ill join i guess,
5.5 mantis tank
40br+40br+30l sump plus 20l fuge.

135.5 gallons so far for me.

=22199.5

OK for more fun and some perspective when we think of our captive droplets as being like the sea.

25,000 gallons would provide the same amount of water change to a cubic meter(about the size of a 200gal tank) as it would get naturally in 36 minutes at the usual rate of a million gallons a day(694.4 per hour).Nature is really awesome.

 

[tmz]

Correction (694.4 per minute) not per hour.Sorry

I am looking at the amount of gallons and thinking the total cost of URS water changes

23000 gallons x 15% = 3450 gallons x the number of salt buckets / additives .......

yikes

 

[mickela]

Ok I'll play
75 gallon reef
48 reef
5.5 wartskin=128.5+22199.5=22328 not much but helps

Don't forget the EXTRA water changes thanks to what I like to call "The Reef Crystals Factor".....gotta give it some kind of fractional fudge factor.

90

 

[low riderr]

125 display,100 ref,45 sump + 22,418 = 22,688 getin closer

 

[SIguy]

Ok i will join in also..
8 Gal.Bio cube as of the moment but will have my 220 back up and running in a few months.. so: 22,688 + My 8(lol) = 22,696 But around May u can add an additional 300 to the total...

 

[tmz]

Thanks SI guy but I don't think with the economy being what it is we can do long term credit unless we get a bailout as part of the new so called economic stimulus. lol

 

[Tingy99]

Currently with my tank still in transistion I've got about 195Gal of SW I'm taking care of so
22696+195=22891

 

[S Helinski]

22,891g + ~200g = 23,091g in URS (thus far).
