Rolo's Mini Ocean

very, very nice Rolo! you did a great job - the waterfall sounds so soothing. I'm sure you already know this but one thing that I did on my pond (recommended by Vinny) was to put a UV sterilizer on it and it totally keeps the green algae at bay - such a simple solution that I wouldn't have thought of.

 

Thanks OFK The other day the full moon was out and the pond was glowing in the moonlight. I almost sat out there at 3 am but I had to go to work in the morning so I went back to sleep. The fountain has a built in UV light. If it's to small I will definitely get a larger one. I see them on Ebay for less $ than in stores.

I found someone to cut my Acrylic so I'll be moving forward on the sump build thankfully. I'm very fortunate to know some of the people I know. I plan on selling my Reeflo Dart/Snapper and getting either a Sicce Syncra 12 or a Waveline DC 12000. Does anyone have any experience with either of the two?

 

I think Todd_sails has a DC12000. He has been very happy if I understand his posts correctly. Hopefully he will see this and chime in.......(hint)

 

That's really nice rolo, great job sir.

 

I ordered the Wavelike. Should be here Monday.

The other didn't have the speed control. So I ordered the DC pump.

Thank you sir. Will be ordering the rock for the pond this week.

 

And then there was a pond! I'm super stoked.

AFTER!!!!!



Pride rock installed for the Little Ladies must have turtles. They need a place to tan she says! LOL

 

Great looking pond. You have the right to be proud!

 

nice job Rolo

 

Thanks, Can't wait to get home from work today and relax with a beer in hand.

 

So the Acrylic for my aquarium I'm still waiting for it to get cut I'm thinking since it is just going to be nothing more than a sump I should just get a rubbermaid tote and get everything back up and running. My Temp set up is to shallow for the skimmer to do it's job. The refugium and chiller is still offline. My tank is full of algae due to the reduced flow and filtration.
