kevin's 50g to 75g upgrade !

[TanksNStuff]

I tried to check out the webcam, but the UN/PW didn't work. No error messages or anything... but when I hit OK, the password disappears and the login screen just hangs.

As far as an ATO container, this is what I use and find it to be perfect:

http://www.containerstore.com/shop/kitchen/foodStorage/pet?productId=10006457&N=74065

The wheels can be removed if you need to make it shorter. The lid is hinged on one side and has a locking flip latch on the other side to keep it closed. There is also a foam/rubber washer around the inside of the lid which doesn't make it 100% spill proof, but does help keep it from evaporating out of there. What I did on mine is just cut a small notch on the latch to allow the pump wire and tube to go through while keeping it latched closed.

Here's a pic to show how I did it (it's a lil blurry, but you get the idea.)

I fixed the login issue. I must of typed the password wrong in the configuration.

Appreciate the idea for the container!
I have this currently.. and just noticed they have smaller sizes.

Picked up a Midas Blenny, randell's goby, rock nem & blood shrimp from AO a week or so ago.
Yesterday picked up a Purple LTA, yellow cucumber, & "love bird" conchs from Captivating Coral . LTA is still trying to find a place that suits it. I'm "trying" to place it somewhere so it doesn't sting the crap out of everything else. It keeps floating away. I "think" I found a perfect spot for it.. it's doing well so far. Trying to not let it run into the rock nem or other BTA's which shouldnt really bother it anyway. I couldn't catch how awesome of a purple it is.

Anywho..
Here's random assortment of pictures

Love the scoly and the pair of harlequins. Tank looks really nice.

Next time include more pics in the update.

Obviously the best part is the pair of Harlies!

Tank looks really good! Think you may have gotten the hang of the scaping!

Looks great Kevin, whats the little guy in the picture above the lta? We should plan another trip to Dr. Mac I'm kinda itching to restock after my tank crashed. Do you still have the clam from him?

Thanks! Scoly is def. one of my favs. Those harlies were thanks to Johnathan!

Hahaha. One of the harlies got in a little scuffle with a emerald crab yesterday. Harlie chased him away! Least they don't have the pistol that always tried to steal there chocolate chip star anymore!

That's a barnacle blenny. I saw them at Johnathan's house & had to have a few! Unfortunately, that clam ended up having pinch mantle disease & died awhile back. A clam is one thing that I have to get again!

I'm thinking of picking up an Mp40 & getting rid of one of my MP10's. Since I switched to the MAG 9.5 & I even have that dialed down a bit creating less flow. Would you suggest the mp40 be the higher up pump or lower down? I current have one mp10 on the middle left.. and the other is upper middle.

as seen in this picture

You could probably get away with just one mp40 for the entire tank. You probably want to have it middle high so you don't disturb the sand bed and get the good gyro motion out of it.

Ran a single mp40 on this tank for the whole time it was up and the corals loved it.

Also ran a single mp40 on my 70 tek tank (40 breeder footprint) for 2 years and they did great too.

lol, you also ran the monster mag 18. That thing was a BEAST!!! It was too much for me to handle, haahahah

 

[Xavier613]

Lol I had a 9.5 for most of the time the tank was up. I used the 18 for a few months though. Had to turn my mp40 down at that point lmao
