WHOI : Oceanus : Big Trouble from Little Squirts

 

Never knew that. Very interesting!

 

Nice tank dude!!!

 

Hey vegas I just wanted to say that your tank is great and I've been following it for a while even though I just joined. I have a 155 bowfront now but a couple of weeks ago I picked up a 240, so I'm gonna upgrade the 155 to a 240 slowly as I have the extra money lol. Any suggestions or tips?

 

Thanks to everyone for the kind remarks.

SB16,

I real think my tank design and function came out well. I made my stand a bit shorter than most stands so that my kids could enjoy it more. That does make it tight to work under the tank but I really don't mind. I really like the closed loop it creates great flow and keeps the look of the tank nice.

One thing I have not posted on my thread yet is that for the last two weeks I have been dosing BSR 2 part. This was one of the best moves I could have made for the tank. It keeps the CA, ALK, MG steady. If you ever have any questions just let me know.

 

Any heat issues?? I remember you had problems early.. I'm sure you're good now, but what did you end up doing??

Also, did you ever look into topping off with Kalkwasser?

 

No heat issues. I have two fans blow across the open top. I also put a solor vent fan used for rv's on the box holding the pumps. In these 100+ days it never gets above 80.

No kalk I ended using the bsr two part and it is doing great. I may revist using kalk down the road.

On a side note chuck I'm going to frag my duncan in the next month or so if you want to come by and get one I'll hold it for you.

 

Oh yea, that'd be awesome!! I've been looking into getting a duncan.. Thanks!!
