A Tang! But what kind is it?

Deff DONT DO THAT...!!!!

Runn 2 or 3 breakers at 15amp or so .. to power the tank to eliminate poss fire and destruction...


Good Luck..!!

 

I'm not sure how this is going to work then. The tank is on the lower floor in a 2 story house, but i own it so i can do what i want. I'm not sure how i would be able to run another power wire to a seperate breaker from the garage to this room? I've refinished houses a few times but running wire is done before the sheetrock goes up. I'm on a slab so i can't do it though the floor. So, i'd have to run the wire though the ceiling which would mean major construction for several days. I hate putting up sheetrock and i'mnot very good at smoothing out the mud to where you can't tell. Any other ideas?


The deal was solid. I purchased one tank but it had center overflows so i'm selling that one. I found a girl that needed to get rid of her tank so her boyfriend could pay his lawyer bill. It's amazing how small a town can be. The girl said she was moving then the pet store told me the real deal. They said not everyone has a 135 gallon tank so it's easy to keep track of where they come from if you ask around. This tank came from the LFS 8 years ago. It got scratched while being stored in the fish store by the owners son then. The owner had to replace the doctors tank so he sold it scratched to someone and some how ended up at this girls house. The guy was supose to be in jail for selling something naughty. I found out later the girls friend that helped me move the tank was actually the boyfriend everyone thought was in jail. I'm a little worried about him knowing where i live but i did get the tank for 1k. It had a nice 40g sump with a refuge in the middle. Someone had built it as a DIY but they did a wonderful job. The skimmer is a big tripple pass burlin from red sea. The sump also had a phosphat reactor from kent. I know there not expensive but i needed it. I took out the phosphate medium because it was super old and put ammo-carb in it instead to help with the moving cycle. The big winner was the lights. There isn't a brand or anything at all to find out what kind it is but the fixture has 4 compact 65 watt blues and 2 MH bulbs with seperate ballasts. The tank had lots of coral, several powerheads and 120lbs of LR. I've purchased a chiller and a RO/DI system with a 5 gallon presurised tank to set up an auto topoff system. I've been putting 3 gallons of water in the tank each day ... this is very anoying.

 

what do you think about running a piggy back outlet off one of the outlets i have upstairs?

 

I would pm ReefSparky, he is an electrician that knows his stuff.

 

Probably a yellow head sleeper goby (also go by gold head sleeper goby). Pretty much the best goby you could have in your tank IMHO! ;D

 

and the best at spreading the "wealth" all over your tank.

 

I dropped him a note ... Anything other than ripping down my walls for new wire installation would be what i'm looking for.

 

Yeah! that's it. Durring the tank move the LFS said he would be ok to put in my little 30 gallon for safe keeping until my 135 was ready again. That was the worst advice i've been given. He's a full grown sleeper goby about 4 or 5 inches long. When he gulps up sand in a 30 gallon it was like 1/4th of the sand in my tank. (not really but it was a lot) After an hour of being in the tank every coral in my tank was covered in sand and the tank looked like a snow globe. Then geting him out was like driving nails through my feet. I tried the fish trap with everything in it i could think of. He dosn't do anything but sift sand. He was sift sand and look at the trap then when i put my net in the tank an inch he would dart into the reef. I had to take every rock out to get to him. Now that tank has a serious nitrate issue but my new tank is fine TG.

 

LOL see, I told you they were trouble J
