wow ben thats coming along very nicely
-
tank looks great well done. What sort of lights does the tank have
-
lighting shouldn't be too bad either, I am running t5's on the display and probably on the mud sump also. After reading chimera's post on the other site I am now debating whether to run 5, 7 or 9 lights on the display. Each light is overdriven to 80w so 5 will equal 400w which is probably plenty for a 4ft tank

Hey, I have the opportunity to have a few large sumps under my house for my next tank. My display will only be 400-500l as that is all the room I have upstairs. My question though is it worth have a sump system much larger than my display. I know there is the hopeful benefit of more system stability with a larger water volume, then there is the added cost of more power for heating and more salt for water changes.

give it another month and u will need a tractor Hmmmmm how many burn outs can I do on a 60m driveway 8)

vn thanks cracker

good luck restarting your tank, isnt that almost as good as an upgrade
-
having an external overflow box makes the tank stick lots further out from the wall, imo not a good look for a corner tank. I tried to get a tank drill here in auckland 4 months ago, glass merchants wouldn't touch it as it was an existing aquarium. I had mine cut by a tank maker who was happy to do it though so I would sugest trying your local tank maker.

I think the red sea units are also a good way to get started, $2k isnt expensive for a start in this hobby
-
I used to have a $50 via aqua pump mixing my saltwater, it was usually ready the next morning. As my tank is temp and I dont need my return pump I have a laguna 6 mixing it lol, now its ready in about 30 mins
-
it will disolve give it time. Thge salintity will rise as it slowly disolves. Not sure if boiling the water would have helped at all. Should be clear by the morning
-
would like to see one for trade and exchange or wanting to buy, and a technical/diy section also
-
lol its so big it doesn't even look like a deltec anymore
-
nice tank, how many t5's do you have and what sort etc?
-
i manually dose cal/alk powder 2 times a week, mag powder 1 time per week. I know how much my tank uses so put the same amount in each time. Takes me maybe 10 mins at the most a week. I am looking at getting a cal reactor for my new tank but at this stage will stick with the powder as I dont want to rely on too much electrical equipment
-
around 30 I think
-
I have 3 of the ones from hollywoods, work very well, move a lot of air but are noisy
-
from memory hrv needs a 100cm roof cavity to be installed, would guess dvs would be about the same
-
wow ben that looks great
-
lol didnt know he was 13
-
if u own the house get hrv or dvs or a dehumidifer, or even a vent from above the tank to the outside
-
