(First Reef Tank Ever) **** 600gal Display **** 1300gal System

Am I understanding this correctly? He took down everything? Everything died? WOW, what a shame!!!! And everything he posted looked right on the money, planned well and no corners cut. I would be devastated if I were wearing his shoes.

 

Were Can I Cantact Him I Want To Buy Some His Old Stuff

 

I am so sorry guys and gurls, but I totally forgot I posted this on RC and was supposed to be a prank . hope ya can forgive me all

after all that hard work and dedication I could never see myself tearing down the system which i had never begun
to enjoy in the first place. heres what been done for the past 4 months

1. 125gal weekly water changes
2. remove and replace top layer sand bed weekly
3. clean & remove detritus for sump monthly
4. clean & remove detritus for 1st fuge tank monthly (no sand bed)
5. no cleaning require for 2ng fuge tank since snails and crabs are taking care of most of the work for me w/5"
sand bed. just mag float to keep front glass clean
6. clean & remove detritus for frag tank monthly
7. finish lighting rack, added 8 36" & 3 72" VHO's super actinic w/ 9 PFO moonlights,
3 Reef Optix V Reflectors w/400w PFO Ballast and 3 separate circuits feed the light rack
8. clean skimmer pumps every 3 months, neck every 3 days. i really need to get the SCH.

just about caught up in work and reef keeping so I will be able to make more time on the forum with current updates.

 

ok i have some pics saved few months backs, but
took me awhile to learn how to post pics again ;D

here are the VHO's brackets that was mounted onto .5" x 1" white pine strips. 6 pc's were made to hold a total 11 bulbs. 1/4" bolts were used to hold them in place of aluminum light rack since wood screws was not reliable.

 

ok got some more pics, i'm getting better at this now
all lights are mounted then electrical wiring was done.
commercial velcro was used to hold 9 PFO moonlights in place.
question on the 3 icecap 660 looking at how they were installed will i need to installed the heat sink that comes with them where i have them mounted at?

 

here’s how the vho’s look like with all of them installed.




3 Reef Optix V Sun System w/400w PFO ballast 20k Radium will power the front of the main display
& currently 3 400w reeflux 12k for the rear on LA3

 

You had me fooled!;D

 

Sweet I'm so glad it was only a joke.

yeah,:-/ but that's just not right...you don't play like that!

 

yeah i know i made some mistakes, but i am truly sorry for posting that and there is no humor especially when a joke is like that. i will continue to post some updates, thanks again all for your support. i will be able to take some more pics later on in the week
