Very nice mate you planning on running a skimmer?

[mrbluefox]

Nice, got any shots from the top?
How do you find the flow from the x-aqua?

Seems to be alright actually. Not a tsunami, but then again, I'm not looking for that in this tank...

I'm at work most of today, but I'll get some video taken today if it's light when I get back or tomorrow.

Nope, looking to put a few clams in there - providing I can keep things stable enough - then they'll be doing most of my filtration - possibly as much as the live rock believe it or not!

[HullTiger86]

Well that's good of it saves you having to buy a skimmer
If you feel you need a skimmer though get a hydor slim skim nano mare

[mrbluefox]

Woohoo!

Well today I managed to get my pipes sorted (so to speak) and have started to run it to see how the evaporation goes in our lounge. As luck would have it, Matt's AI Nano turned up as well today and after a brief moment that resulted in melting part of the carpet, it's now up and running (the LEDs are set at 90% for Royal Blue, Blue and White.

See here:



Once I've got my hands on a ceramic aquascape I'll be ready to get it properly sorted. In the meantime I've had chance to decide what other corals I want in the tank and have decided to do just mushrooms to compliment the clams.

How did you manage to melt the carpet? LOL

Sounds funny! Sorry LMAO

[mrbluefox]

Sorry folks - been on holiday. Other than that, nothing to report. Still waiting on getting the right ceramic artificial live rock piece yet, so it's kinda ground to a halt

(carpet was melted as I switched the nano on and didn't realise how hot the LEDs got on contact...hence melted carpet :/
