Poknsnok's 240 build

[mushumatt]

Alright thanks, im gonna have unions on both sides of the pump. So if there is a problem i can just disconnect it and fix it.

poknsnok,
I see in your sig "a big electricty bill" , how much do you think your tank costs in electricity a month?, i ask this because i am getting quotes from CG and DSA on 240 tanks like yours ...

 

[poknsnok]

Id estimate 50-75 per month.. here is the electrical calculator

Joe - how hot does your dart get? Last night mine was making some noise (~3am!) and I put my hand on it and got burnt! I feel that is way too hot. It's running hotter than my barracudas - like half as hot and BTW they are quieter than the dart.

Joe,
I am going to order a 300g from glass cages in the next few weeks. I have heard both good and bad things from them. Overall how happy are you with the tank?

Thanks,
John

I love it. no issues and for the price I couldnt be happier. Reefartist and Mflamb also have GC tanks

 

[ReefArtist]

Yep - same here John - I have a 280g GlassCages tank and love it also. I just ordered a frag tank from them and will get it March 8th, so I'm very happy with them.

 

[mushumatt]

I have to say i have the same problem with heat issues with my hammerhead. It gets pretty hot, not to the point where it will burn you but it gets pretty hot.

 

[mflamb]

Same here:
Completly pleased with my Glass Cages 390.
All 3 Darts are very very warm.

 

[Steelslinger75]

You have a very nice setup Joe. I am looking forward to building my new setup. I have moved from Apollo Beach last March and have been without my reef since then.

 

[poknsnok]

welcome to the area!! there are a lot of knowledgeable people to be found here

 

[FFrankie]

Very nice. I'll be tagging along for this one

 

[Reeftanks6]

Very good Tagging along.

 

[makoJ]

Tagging along! fts looked great!

 

[poknsnok]

took another one today after mounting a few more corals

 

[ReefArtist]

Very nice Joe! BTW - I got some live rock for you . I'll bring it with me when I go over next week. It's filtering everything from my tank right now - I have all of it in my sump so it will remain alive and well. Some very nice pieces I must add, about 70# total - how much do you want?

 

[mflamb]

Yo dude, I'm coming over tomorrow to see that!!! WOW!!!

 

[Reeftanks6]

Looks good. Nice placement of all the corals.
