Thors 450 Build Thread!!!!!!!

[erics3000]

Yeah it hurt, I had him for a while. He was about 5 in and pretty fat. It was the 2nd fish I had to tell my dog to release from his mouth. He really loved the extra space and took off. I think next time I will go with at least 30 high so they can swim over rocks. I origanlly only wanted to go with 30 but went with the 25 because I was only going to use 250 mh and wound up using 400 anyway huhh. I shouldn’t have dropped the shrimp in during the day time, he figured anything that came from the top was his to eat.
hhhahahh

I have been wantin to add some more tangs soon. Just trying to get my parameters in spec and hook up my skimmer. How do yours get along??

All mine get along great. I dont have any aggression at all. They are well feed which helps.

Here's a little example of what a orca pro kit 250 can do!! A pic only a reefer could love!!!

My new collection cup. Picked it up on clearence from Linens and Things. Holds 3 gallons of water has a spout and fits perfect under my skimmer stand!!

New 44 gallon brute with auto top off installed.

My big boy naso showing his beautiful streamers.

 

[thor32766]

Vlamingi shot. This guy is growing like he is on steriods. His streamers are really starting to come along now!

I redid the the right side of my tank to have bigger caves and came out pretty good. Here is three seperate shots.

I also made some sweet nozzles for my closed loop that really worked out great. I will try to post those soon. Hope everyone enjoys the pics!

That skimmate was disgusting! New scaping looks tight! Much better! You better get some pics of the back before Jason gets ****ed!

 

[thor32766]

thanks for the comment t5po! Yeah I forgot to get those pics I will have to take some and post. Sorry Low Red Ranger.

 

[Lowredranger]

Hey i am here and you didn't get the pics up in time WTH!!!

So do you actually use your little nozzle on your skimmer collection cup?

The rock structure is looking good but i think everyone wants more pictures of that nasty skimmer sludge. lol

 

[thor32766]

what nozzle are you talking about? the drain nozzle? if so yes thats how it drains down to the collection cup. If thats what your talking about.

 

[tangers]

I think he's talking about the drain at the bottom. The one you use to empty the container.

 

[thor32766]

heck yeah I use that to empty it. Thats why I was so excited about it!!!

 

[Lowredranger]

Yea i was referencing when you said the your new container has a spout i just was wondering if you actually used it.

 

[Lowredranger]

lol i did not know if it worked or got clogged b/c of all that nasty stuff coming out of your skimer.

 

[thor32766]

The thicker stuff tends to stay in the cup up top and the fluid drains down to it, but it smells horrible when I do drain it!!! I love this cup it works exceptional! I can't believe you passed up the sand jason!

 

[Lowredranger]

oh shut up about the sand already i was considering calling James and having him get it if the guy hadn't already sold it to someone else.
