150 Gallon Setup (Updated 10/06/12: Page 14)

yeah man looks good..cant wait to see it in a few months..

 

Thanks for the compliments. =) I'll get more photos of the sump/refugium area here soon.

 

yeah i would love to see the whole setup..

what kind of lighting are you running..

 

Nothing at this moment. The fixture on it currently is a single 36" VHO that was laying around. I'm considering 3 x 250w Halide w/ Phoenix 14k's. Before I make a decision, I'll need to complete the painting on the hood and insure whichever I do choose, fits.

 

yeah well congrats man on the tank it looks great, and from what i have seen with your other tanks will be awesome in a few months..

 

Diver's Den purchase. From here forth, all purchases from Diver's Den will be moved directly to the DT.

On another note: I made quite the mistake Saturday evening. It's been quite a long time since I lost a fish. After conducting a water change on each tank, I made the mistake of not plugging the powerhead completely flush (all the way) into the surge protector. At some point during the night, the powerhead plug lost contact with the outlet. As a result, I woke up Sunday morning to find my Emperor floating upside down, although he was still breathing. I immediately checked the powerhead and tossed in a air stone. He recovered to point to restore his ability to swim around but not as usual. He was able to swim but would stop and lay on his side for long periods of time. I watched him closely for a few hours, even making him move his body around to hopefully restore all bodily functions. His color restored but wasn't able to stay at a constant swim. I watched him closely all day Sunday. He was able to remain alive until this afternoon. I tried everything possible but I can only assume that by the time air was added, some bodily functions had already shutdown. =/ As a result, I decided to go ahead and purchase the Blue Face Angel listed on Diver's Den. I'm quite disappointed in the loss but another Emperor will be in the future.

 

The new fish arrived from F&S, acclimated and very pleased with the additions thus far. They were added to the 150. F&S's Diver's Den is undoubtably second to none. If you're not sure whether to spend a little more for an item you're looking for for a Diver's Den specimen, have a look at their usual regimen to care for everything they bring in to the Diver's Den. I promise you that you won't be disappointed.

The new Aqua Medic Ocean Runner 2000 skimmer pump and 2 X Koralia 1400's came in today that were ordered from BigAl's. Surprisingly enough, the skimmer was producing dirty skim-mate within 30 minutes. What can I say, Aqua Medic is German made. =) Here's some updates of the tank.










Sump/Skimmer Side.



The Refugium Side.



I believe the Midas Blenny found his place. =)

 

Congrats on the new adds, sorry for your loss. Tanks looks good, great equipment.
