dcantucson's Zero Edge

[dcantucson]

Okay! Okay! After much speculation that it doesn't exist here is proof once and for all.

Please keep in mind that the pictures were taken with a Casio point & shoot. I found an old Sony Cybershot in storage which I'll hook up to see if it will work better. Also keep in mind that I am rebuilding my stock after my heater malfunction. I lost over 30 corals total. It was devastating and made me want to give up! But I didn't!

Your bluffing. I see no pictures. Therefore, it doesn't exist.

no pics

pretty cool looking for a imaginary tank. Very nice really even after you boiled it still looks better then mine. :grumble:

 

[d2mini]

Get rid of everything after the .jpg in your urls.

 

[d2mini]

That looks awesome!!! :^:

What type of light fixture? How many bulbs and what colors?

 

[dcantucson]

Thanks for that positive feedback!

And thanks for the help Dennis. I tried to post them without using photobucket, but it kept saying "error". So all I need do is remove .jpg and I can attach a photo directly?

The lighting fixture and specs are: (use 60" 250MH)

Current USA Outer Orbit 10K HQI-MH w/ T5 HO & Lunar Lights

Specifications
Model: 1078
Length: 60"
10000K PowerPaq: 2 x 250W
Actinic 460nm: 2 x 54W
Actinic 420nm: 2 x 54W
Lunar Light Blue/White: 9/9
Dimensions: 60" x 15" x 4.25"
Total Watts: 729
Total Amps: 6.3
Fixture Configuration: B


I did change out the MH bulbs to Phoenix 14000k that I got from Nathan. The 10000k were much whiter

 

[d2mini]

No no no, you want to leave everything EXCEPT what is AFTER the .jpg. So your url should END with .jpg
Like this....

instead of like this...

http://i712.photobucket.com/albums/ww127/dcantucson/Zero Edge/WestView.jpg?werheoihadnng

see the diff?

and put that shorter url between the img tags by clicking the

button.

 

[dcantucson]

Thanks, I think I got it. I'll try one.

Hey does your MH lighting have big ballasts separate from the fixture or is everything contained in the fixture? Last time I had MH lighting there were these huge ballasts separate from the light itself.

I'm not sure if I want to go with the MH/t5 combo for my new tank or just stick with all T5. ATI has their Powermodule that is 24" long and 10 bulbs! Something like that should look great over a cube tank.

georgeous, absolutely georgeous,


i just have one question, you're running that entire tank off just one plug? and its not GFCI from what i can see?!?!?! :mrgreen:

I have 2 external ballasts which are mounted inside the cabinet. Not the best I know, but the cabinet has ventilation vents in it so there is air circulation. I am concerned about the moisture though.

I think 10 bulbs will do just fine without MH, too.

That plug is on a GFCI circuit that tied to the guest bathroom. My house is mostly all glass and concrete too so there's not much to burn. :lol:

I think every plug is tied to a GFCI thing in this house. They are everywhere.

Looks sweet...why do you keep it in the bomb shelter though? :lol:

If I had a tank like that I'd put in the driveway just so when people passed by, I could look at them smuggly, "Ya, you know you like ;-)" :mrgreen:

 

[project5k]

ok, just checkn, cause i dont want anything to happen to that nice tank...

so i'm guessing that the water sheets down the outside of the tank, and i would hope that its quiet, but is it really?

 

[dcantucson]

Amazingly quiet, REALLY! The fish make more noise than the tank. 3 Tangs playing around sometimes break the top of the water and splash a little.

I have two 14000 Quiet One pumps in the sump that move over 7,000 gallons up and over an hour.

 

[daugherty]

looks great

 

[project5k]

damn, thats a lot of flow...

never underestemate the surface tension of salt water.
