    Why are Red Dragons no longer on the market?

    Yeah im kind of regretting it but I needed a pump asap because my little giant pump died when I sucked a bunch of cheato into it. Im going to use it for a closed loop for a while till I decide on a new one

    I actually don't know why I said that. I can't seem to find where I read that rumor.

    Just picked up the first of many LED fixtures for this tank. This is an Ecoxotic Panorama all actinic. I'm impressed by the heatsink on the unit. I ran it for a full 6 hours in a corner of a room with minimal airflow. The temp results from my goofy test...

    the titanium shafts were twisting and unraveling. As if one broke and twisted a living piece of wood such as birch or oak.

    They are currently fixing the issue.

    I actually joined this site for this build, I currently have a 150 gallon reef and was thinking of downsizing to a 93 cube or a 120. And was surfing google and came across this build, so far its amazing!!!!! Can't wait to see more pics and and to learn from your experience on the cube. Any suggestions from the cube or 120 would be helpful thanks and great job thus far

    Wow, glad I could be inpirational. Didn't know I had it in me. Ha... I've got a great update coming when I can get a moment. Hang in there...

    Sorry I have no real advice to offer for the DT itself as I've not installed it yet.

    No problem, thanks for the update. I'm going to order my new tank this friday. Some updated pics would be great if you could before then. Still having a hard time choosing between the 120 & 93. Can't wait to see more thanks and good luck

    Update!

    Sump and quarantine system is up and running and great i might add. Cash flow has dropped pretty low for a while so the upstairs will remain the biocube for now. The basement system hovers at 79 all day every day and runs about $1/day as is with the current crappy Mag 24 and T5's.

    The skimmer is the SWC 180 and straight up does work. The system is running great with no water changing to speak of and decent feeding of a huge serpent starfish.
