  3. 480 gallon sump up and running.

  4. 480 gallon sump up and running.

    I decided to cover the top of the tank so that I cannot get heat transfer from the MH's to the top of the water. The halides are 16 inches off the water. So I will be running NO bulbs over the refugiam. I'm thinking that the evaporation will be around 2-5 gallons a day. The good thing is the I'm...
  5. 480 gallon sump up and running.

    I'm sure it will be fun when it's all done. Heres a picture of the equipment room.
  6. 480 gallon sump up and running.

    sounds like a good idea. I'll have to swing by the old brew and grow on the way home and look into. The only thing that confused was the bulbs. They are rated in lums instead of 'K' ratings. Thats where I get lost. Thanks for the input. BTW you icon is creepy!! 8O craw.
  7. 480 gallon sump up and running.

    The way the basement is set up I actually have 2 - 500 cfm (1000 cfm) fans pulling the humid air out of the basement and then it goes into the enclosed canopy and the back out to the exterior of the house. This should keep the humidity down (I hope). :roll: in the basement. This is still in...
  8. 480 gallon sump up and running.

    Because I have the room. I truly belive in the more water volume you have in your system the more stable it becomes. I will also be growing out frags in the center row of live rock. On the sides there will be macro algae for nutrient export. I originaly planed on doing tidal events, but thats on...
  9. 480 gallon sump up and running.

    NO its going to be open. I plan on an 8 inch DSB (southdown) down the middle I will have a row of live rock and sevral mangroves. It wil be lit (down the line) by either 250w or 400w MH's (undecided). I will also be adding 2 20 or 30 gallon surges down the middle. mountainbiker619, actually the...

  11. Tissue samples

    Sorry about that. You at one time were asking for tissue sample of infected corals a while back (at least I think it was you ) I think I remember a post on Reef Central. I'm I thinking of the right person?
  12. Tissue samples

    Did you ever document or put together a paper with the tissue samples that were sent to you?
  13. How do you support your tank?

    Let me guess your a web designer?! 8O :D J/K My wife was very close to that profession, but lucky for me she had a chage of heart. :)
  14. How do you support your tank?

    I find it no more annoying then when people post questions about: type of algaes in the refugiam, or lighting over their new sps tank, or what type of pvc glue is safe. When they can clearly do a search and find that information. Most people never attempt to do a search before putting up...
