atb has released their new cone hang on the back skimmer. utilizing a hagen PH with a custom volute (and meshwheel) as well as a bubble plate to reduce tubulence…we have no doubt this will perform.
the stand is currently being built and should be completed by next weekend. we went with all white laminate (no doors, but open back) with a recessed lower lip to allow easier access behind the tank. it’s fairly large at 24×36×30….so it looks like a home depot van rental may be needed to get it […]

we received the tank today, everything went smoothly. it was delivered fed-ex freight and the delivery man was great. the tank was packaged okay. we dont see any visible damage so far… so it seemed to have done it’s purpose. overall we are fairly pleased.
here are where things stand as of this morning…
ph ~8.2
no3 ~0
alk ~8dkh
ca~ 450ppm
mg ~1500ppm
mag and calcium are too high for our tastes. the 450 ca explains the rampant coralline growth that has been bothering me. with the growth of the corals we’re no longer able to scrape it clean off of the bottom glass. we […]
it’s a work in progress, but we’re already enjoying the new look. huge thanks to “Psam” over at stonyreef.com for all his help! we’ll be updating the progress of our nano reef, new 90g rimless, music/videos, and great specimens we find online.
we’ve been intrigued lately at the use of closed loops and mj1000 “loops” used by many japanese reefers. it allows flow to be directed towards the coral (front to back) without actualy viewing the pump. the black triangle flow directors seem particularly popular.becoming just as popular on many japanese reef blogs is the […]
no real updates for the tank. i’ve been adding kalk slurries 2x’s a day to help with cal/alk. growth rates have again increased but levels havent budged much. cleaned out the deltec and it’s again performing at it’s best. i’m back to c-dosing a small amount. the skimmate production was been incredible for such […]
here’s the latest on the new rimless tank… this shows the dimensions, sump, and the spot lights i’ll be using.
