Sonicboom's 180 build in Tampa

Won a Tunze 7094 Multicontroller on Ebay last week for 40.00, it's an older model but is in New condition, connected it to my Tunze 6055. Have a nice little pulse going but need a WHOLE lot more movement. hopped on Ebay tonight and won a Jebao WP40, should be here Wednesday.

Awesome! You'll love the WP40. I have two and they move a ton of water!!

 

[Sonicboom]

Sweet, thanks for the feedback, I think the wp40, a tune 6055 and a 6094? I should be much better on water movement.

 

[Sonicboom]

i meant a Tunze 6055 and a 6095

Man that combination, your corals will be very very happy. Those FTS and FSS were awesome. That cheato looks like it might need a little pruning.

 

[Sonicboom]

Thanks!, Lol I pruned it last week. Shook out a few hundred copepods.

 

[Sonicboom]

So female again laid her eggs but this time she is carrying them since there is no male..

 

[Sonicboom]

saved a male banggai from certain doom @ Petco, have him in QT until my isolation chamber arrives from Amazon.

 

[Sonicboom]

also received my Jebao WP40 and so far loving it!, my only gripe is the cord from the PH to the controller is short so the controller is always at least 5 ft from pump.

 

[Sonicboom]

Found a nice piece of merulina? For 10 bucks at creative aquarium in Tampa.

Also a red Monti

They were dipped and stripped of a few worms and not much else.

 

[Sonicboom]

Zelf on a shelf!

ohhh Santa's elf is really pushing it now...:uhoh3:

 

[Sonicboom]

about to pull the trigger on a NextReef MR1 media reactor and not sure is i order the complete with the pump or the single with no pump. I can plumb a manifold off the return to feed it. Also thinking about a manifold off of the shortest drain to go to the reactor.

Dude I have one for you if you want it. And you better keep an eye on that elf he doesn't go snorkeling.

 

[Sonicboom]

An MR1? Lol yes. You nailed it on the head with too much GFO that caused the rtn. Yanked it, dipped it and fragged it and it is recovering so it's controlled media for me from now on.

 

[Sonicboom]

$1 per gallon sale on now at Petco.

 

[Sonicboom]

Got a sweet deal on an MR1 Monster from a fellow reefing friend. Up and running with 2 cups of carbon after cleaning. Yes it's overkill but for the price I couldn't say no..

 

[Newbie Aquarist]

Cant beat that price anytime. So fresh and so clean too.

 

[Sonicboom]

yessir, i'll be tearing it down again for another cleaning and adjustment once i get my ball valves and filter pads.

 

[Sonicboom]

Found some old heat sinks and decided to put them to use.

Put two on the power supply to my return pump.

Temp dropped from 123 to 107 in a few seconds, now for a small fan to really bring it down.

 

[worm5406]

Yeah that does work. LOL...

 

[Newbie Aquarist]

Happy New Year. Was your return pump overheating the tank?
