wasp Posted August 30, 2007 Report Share Posted August 30, 2007 Good to see you are doing this Dogmatrix, they are an attractive tank and it will be interesting to see how you develop it. Also since a lot of new people are interested to set one of these up, your own experience will be a good help to them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dogmatix Posted August 30, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2007 Put in 12 kg of live rock i think depending on the rock densisty and what kind of structure your after 12-20 Kgs MAX would do the job nicely, added a few dying corals from the cascade at work and they are picking up nicely :lol: There is a HUGE amount of bubbles (nice and small too) in the skimmer chamber but not really any worthy skimmate yet. Will put up pics early next week oh and added a Monti folliosa frag in there aswell to see how the sps handle the red sea max Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dogmatix Posted September 4, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2007 Still alot of work to be done, but the stock i put in last week is really happy, the gorgonian just went in today as did the xenia and a couple of other pieces, pic was taken as soon as the stock went in so i will try and get another pic in a day or two. You can actually see the skimmer chamber through the back pane of glass. So far im very impressed with the whole system Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
