Hi Matt,
There is a chiller running on the tank, otherwise i would have a big problem with the temp.
Jonock,
The coral in the centre started out tiny from Ed Miller at Reefcreations a good few years back now. Does anyone know if he is still selling corals??????

Hi Chris,
I will be fragging it very shortly its about to hit the water surface.

crinoid chris

24-04-05, 21:32

john, please let me know when you do.
i also have the same coral that elliot said he has, i think they are blue tenuis. i will try and post a photo, mine is a wild colony, only had it for four weeks and it's really coloured up. i broke a branch off it {milliput accident} which i wanted to put into the acro race but i missed the dead line.chris.

john27

24-04-05, 21:41

Hi Chris,
I could frag it any time, how could you get the frag? your miles away.

John.......

crinoid chris

24-04-05, 22:59

john
post it i will pay for next day delivery. can you frag it now, and give it a couple of weeks to settle{ a big piece would be nice}. i've got some wild acro's to collect next weekend.if they don't come next week it will be the week after. i will need a week checking on them, then i will be ready for yours. let me know how much you want for a nice size frag.
cheers mate.
chris.
how far from yorkshire are you?. i spend a lot of summer around that area, could easily pop up for a few days.

john27

26-04-05, 19:36

Hi Chris,
There is no way i can really post a frag, i start work before post-offices open and when i finish work they are closed, i also work all around the North-East so i never know if i would be near a post-ofice.
I live in Middlesbrough which is North Yorkshire, so if you are ever coming up this way get in touch and i will get a frag for you. I dont want payment a swap would be better.

Cheers John..

crinoid chris

26-04-05, 23:26

john27.
thanks for the reply. north yorkshire will be no problem. i should be up in that area in the next seven to eight weeks. i will get some photo's done and see what you would like to swap. can you pm me your post code just to see how far you are away.

18-09-05, 10:41

Thanks for the comments on the tank.
The skimmer is a Deltec AP851 and it is sat on a shelf at the side of the tank. There is no sump under the tank but there is equipment under there. I did use Zeovit for around 6 months but stopped using it as i could not fit the reactor anywhere.
The lighting used is a Giesemann 400w 12000k and 2x 24w actinic T5s.

john27

10-01-06, 12:37

hi mark, im using a teco ra 680 chiller. It is the chiller of my old tank (twice the size of the perc 90) it works very well. Noise wise, it is in a shed outside so very quiet.

Looks fantastic!

What size tank is that?
Exactly what I a working towards hopefully.
What streams/powerheads are you operating?
What skimmer also?

Martin

john27

27-04-06, 18:26

Hi Martin,
Thanks for the compliment of the tank :)
The tank was a Aqua-Medic percula 90 (36x24x24 ish) For circulation there was a Tunze stream 6100, 3x Aqua-bee 3000lph pumps, a Seio 4000lph pump and a Ehiem 1262.
The skimmer was a Deltec AP851 which was stood on a shelf next to the tank.

John..

What I want to know is how often you top up evaporation with RO or have you got an auto system.

Also have you got a calcium reactor/kalk stirer on top of your chiller.

Does it all fit in cabinet if so?
