Ryan's 57g Rimless New Coral Pics

Tank filled and cycling finally

Here is some random pics of the tank and sump also the light hanging setup i will show more of them when i get my lights in. Tank is still cloudy from sand but here you go also i will be adding a black background probably tonight or tom.

Thanks for the pics and its coming along great!! One piece of advice when you are taking pics tho, disable the flash. Theyd be 100x better.

Do you have the matching paint to the wall color? If you do, paint the shelf stud thingy so they become less visible.

 

thank you for advice i may look into doing that and i only used flash on a couple of pics its just bad lighting right now with no lights on the tank

 

Very nice! Love the rimless look. Can't wait for more pics.

 

added black background and organized a few wires. Tank is clearing up

Hopefully Friday I will order:
2 AI SOL Blues
SWC xtreme 160 cone skimmer
2 Phosban 150 reactors 1 for BRS ROX 8.0 Carbon and 1 for BRS GFO
Red Sea Pro Reef Test kits for CAL, MAG, DKH

 

ordered maxi jet 1200 for my reactors and SWC Xtreme cone 160 skimmer just a few minutes ago

Thank you big als for discount and good pricing

 

I can see why you'd want 2 AI Sol's with the 36" width, but may I recommend 1 EcoTech Radion instead? I am currently using one on a 36" wide tank and am growing LPS on the edges on the sandbed...and I'm only at 45% whites! Also, as someone who went from AI Sol's to a Radion, I can say that the color rendition is superior with the Radion's vs. the Sol's. I always felt the AI's lacked red's and greens from standing out. With the Radion, I get intense coloration out of both now. 1 Radion would also be cheaper than 2 Sol's and a controller. Don't get me wrong, I think you'd love the AI's, I'm just adding another possibility.

Note: to achieve vibrant coloration out of reds and greens, I supplemented with ATI Purple Plus and an Actinic T5HO.

 

shew throwing ideas in my head its already a tough choice on which one ive been going back and forth and really like the AI and Radion is appealing too. I see what you are saying with the reds and greens idk I guess back to researching both. I have and will now always have vortech pumps but also I only have mac computers so i could not program it yet.

 

Check a few parameters and my cycle has slowly started

Salinity 1.025
Ammonia .25
Nitrite. 0
Ph between 8.0 and 8.3 on salifert test kits
