Your gonna kick some serious booty with that skimmer. Great choice also on the waterblaster! Xclusive has one on his tank and it's a beast for flow!

 

[DrHarryLopez]

I loving the water blaster! Can it work externally?

 

[MattyO]

So I didn't see it posted but from the equipment I guess ur going SPS? Also make sure u have a laptop or really long cords for the ecotechs... Not having a controller is their biggest downside.

 

[TRUKINGNY]

looks awesome......Did I miss what you are using for a sump?I ask cause I would suggest making a bracket and hanging the apex probes from it so they are accurate and dont get damaged. (I can show you what I did if you want) As far as skimmer I saw you were thinking of the reef octopuss I have an SRO 3000SS and love it ... Its a beast ... in sump and no separate feed pump.
The stand is gorgeous and looks incredibly sturdy .... I built mine as well....

of course once its up and running you guys are welcomed any time

Because I opted to run a good amount of rock in my sump and I have read about PH and temp swings due to improper submersion of the probes I made a rack for not only my sensors but my heaters as well. I simply zip tie where as well as the height I want.

Good idea epstein i gotta see how i can make this work thanks again

 

[TRUKINGNY]

OK so i decided to order some Fiji rock i wanna start this right and thought that was the best way and ill tell you something that rock is dirty thank god i took a friends advice and scrubbed it down.. ALSO got to paint the inside of my stand today one step closer to setting this baby up...

 

[Awibrandy]

What is the 3rd pic of?

I love your stand! Following along patiently waiting to see what you do with the tank.

I love that Fiji rock.

 

[afernandez]

The third pic is the water after he scrubbed the Rock. So much debris comes off that rock is not even funny. But it's great rock when fully cured

Great job rich your doing things right! Can't wait to get this going.
