This week on Thursday I will be recieving my coralife UV Sterilizer which I will be adding to my system. As soon as I add it I will be adding the pictures.

Sweet.

I see you placed your pump on the bottom of the seaclone like i did mine. How is your working out?

It picks up skimmate but not alot..... I want to upgrade to something better...

This will be my next upgrade and also my metal halides.

(DREAM) I have everything in my tank ready my 150 gallon upgrade (DREAM)

Yea mine isn't the best but it works great for right now. I empty about a full over flowing cup once a week.

I am throwing around the idea of either a store bought 75gal or a DIY 90 cube. Not sure yet. Either way I'll have to buy another MH and a good skimmer. Thats what stopping me right now is the "other" stuff lol

haha very cool sump! ..is that the hydor koralia powerhead or whatever!? good looking tank

jcg432 · 02-23-2007, 09:21 AM

The powerheads are the tunze nanostream.... I was thinking of doing a maji-jet mod but I came across these powerheads for about 60 dollars on Marinedepot.... They are working great... The current in my tank is awesome.... I bought two of them and I cant turn both of them on at the same time (too much current, Corals go crazy)

Sorry about the phone(Perfect Timing)
