Installed some more equipment to make life easier

Besides the RO/DI storage tank (top) I installed a second one for mixing and storing saltwater. Inside the tank there is a heater and a Maxi-jet for flow. Attached also another Maxi-Jet on the faucet connector to pump the water more quickly to the tank when doing water changes.

Everything looks awesome!!

Where did you pick up the shelving and storage tanks? Also, how many gallons do they hold?

Thanks Ben.

I got those storage units from Fleet Farm. They hold 35 gallons. They exist in bigger sizes and you can get those online also.
Shelving came from Storables on France Avenue in Edina

Thanks, I will have to look into those

Oh, clean out your PM box as well. I tried to send you a message about the shipping boxes, but it said your inbox was full:biggrin:
 
Quick shot to show how nice the coralline starts to grow. There was no LR when I started. Just dry rock.
NO pic manipulation. That's the way it looks

Today I tried to make a video from the Elos. It is not the greatest but not that bad either.

It seems camcorder and LED's don't like each other that much and the true colors of the corals don't always get captured very well. Therefore I included some cool pics to illustrate how the corals look. Lots of frags in there but I think once they start to grow it will be nice...

Have a peak, turn up those speakers and enjoy... :beerchug:

Nice vid! Bum, bum, bum, ba da, whistle, whistle lol Which song is that?

I love the crashing sound at 5:12 :gay1:.

The green coral in post #106 (top pic), is that a flashlight acro?

How is the Tomini? I am thinking about getting one for my Illuminata when it is set up. If it gets to big I'll remove it :).

LOL... I have to look it up. It was the song Elos used on their Interzoo 2010 video

Yep. It is the flashlight Acro I got from Ben (Benihana). Gorgeous coral. He had some frags up for sale

How is the Tomini? I am thinking about getting one for my Illuminata when it is set up. If it gets to big I'll remove it :).

I got him from SWE a couple weeks ago. He was a little shy at first but now he is used to the tank and us he is out all the time and constantly picking on the rocks. Really like him.

I had a Kole Tang once, great fish. Very similar behaviour to the Tomini.

The Tomini has more color though so I am leaning that way.
 
the creamy milli is pretty awesome. i may have to buy a piece off you when it get big enough!
 
You got the poison ivy! That is a sweet looking coral. Wet thumb right? Is it coloring up good for you? I have been thinking about getting a piece of that and the tiera de fuego for a while.

Yep. Got it from Wet Thumb. They had a "live Sale" on R2R last week and offered quite a few corals at lower prices. Was able to grab this one along with some others.
Really like it. Nice colors and polyps are always extended. I can't tell right now if the colors will stay that way as I only have it a couple days in the tank.
WT told me it likes high light and high flow.

Here is another pic taken with just the blue LED's on:

PE looks real good. glad to hear they arrived in good shape. Wet Thumb Frags always have nice looking coral on there site. I might have to give it a go. Hope the PI does well for you. :biggthumpup:
