Well the little farm is coming along very very nicely. the tubs are stocked full. But the one thing that URKS me is that I constantly have problems witht he grow tubs. I am allways getting a little leak hear or there or a dang snail causes an overflow (which has happened several times).
So the wife and I were cruising around petsmart last night and they had 2 50 gallon tanks that were returned without the hoods. I asked how much they would sell them to me and they said both for 100 bucks. I had the check written before he could change his mind. Also picked up 2 stands also.
I will run each tank with a coralife super skimmer on each tank. I will get away from the sump/fuge. I dont think I need it for just a grow tank. I will also put a Copperbanded butterfly in each tank to take care of aptasia and spaghetti worms and also a small yellow tang to take care of the algae. I think this should work pretty good. I have built shelves out of eggcrate and pvc.
My Frag room allways looks like a bomb went off in there. So this weekend I am pulling out the carpet, putting in new subfloor and laying down linoleum and repainting the entire room. Hopefully when its done it should look like a den/frag room. I am taking pics through out the process. I will keep you posted. I will have the 1st 50 gallon set up and running sunday.
Any thoughts or comments please chime in. oh yeah and each tank will have 2x250 w 14k MH with actinics over them.
