Re: Vortechs
That's interesting. Are you using a coarse gravel as opposed to sand?

George I decided to scratch my idea of a 24" x 24" x18" frag tank, I have something much more nontraditional in mind, it ain't fun if it's easy right?
I still love the dimensions on yours though
Check the web cam - the frag tank is full of water tonight!

Thanks!
Thanks!
I am experiencing annoying cyano on some of the LR. I'm going to get in there with a siphon hose and a filter sock and suck as much as I can off the rock... I will also kick up the output of the closed loop slowly...it's only running at about 1/2 capacity right now...
LL
Thanks!

George, you are just keeping the momentum going, I love it, great job. I am really looking forward to seeing the tank mature and now I can webcam in anytime I like.

Up at the top of the page, select "single" and it should take you to the camera...
Let me know if that doesn't work...

what did you use for reflectors on your lights?

Frag Tank flow
Frag Tank flow
I went through my box of lost toys and found a pair of Koralia 1 and a Koralia 2 powerhead. I stuck them in there to supplement the Mag 7 return pump.
I plan on putting down a thin layer of Seaflor sand covered by another thin layer of medium grade crushed coral media that will encourage floating zoanthids to attach...
I'll start putting coral in as soon as I get some T5's over the tank. If I can't find the right fixture, I'll build up a 4 x 24w T5 Retrokit like I used over the DT.

Re: lighting
I used IceCap SLR individual parabolic reflectors for each bulb made from 96% German reflective aluminum. They clip on to the individual bulb.
Here is a link to where I purchased the retrokits:

I couldn't locate a used 24" T5 fixture (or retrokits) locally, so will be ordering 4x24w IceCap kits from ReekGeeks later today. They are the same kits I used over the DT, except the DT has 24x54W lights.
I need to go over to the T5 Q&A thread to get some advice for the bulb selection.
The fishroom is rapidly approaching floor space saturation... the treadmill takes a lot of space, but it has to stay there... The automatic kitty box is the final addition. (One of the sacrifices demanded by Ms. LL)
