Solo77 Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 Bro, thanks for sharing. Have you gotten the maker yet? me also planning but yet to settle the maker but will need it end of this year or early next year. Yr setup sounds great. For your H, 2.5ft may pose some issues in tank maintenance but if you are tall with long arms, think it should be fine. I have gotten a 1/4 hp for my intended setup and either 851 pr 701 for the skimmer. The rest, will salvage from my existing setup. Can pm me the price and maker. Wanted to have more choice. Thanks.

I have a 1/5 and sold it to buy 1/4hp. actually i think hard on having 1/3 plus space constraint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member mecedesfish Posted October 24, 2008 Author SRC Member Share Posted October 24, 2008 wow, high end stuffs, envy envy................ with my previous planted tank, i converted it to marine tank. Running with 2 cannister filter and a small red sea Prizm plus air rift. Most of the coral couldn't last long, fishes health was good. After a long thought, I decided that i should decom the orginal planted tank and up grade to "more pro" marine set up, get some better high end stuff and that most of brothers decom tank, i might get some good bargain and world oil price falling( hopefully SP elect charges will lower down in next year) Envy.........but you never know that i had learn, paid my tuition from my 1st tank experience................worry that i will fail...

Thanks Hi there Great to see you switching from planted... as for me... I've been switching back and forth... what the heck! Anyway, it's good that you decided to experience LPS first before jumping into SPS.

Genesis 1:20 And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that has life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven. And God created great whales, and every living creature that moves, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good. And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth.
