lastlight's 28

[lastlight]

You can quit the hobby but in my case it never quits me. FML :mrgreen:

[lastlight]

My buddy has had his 28 JBJ Nanocube HQI for 4 years. No water changes in the last 2, original bulb even. I suspected he wasn't really feeling the hobby these days (years) so I suggested we work out a deal and here we are. I drove to his place with nothing remaining from the hobby except an empty 5g pail which I did bring!

Picked up the tank Saturday and by early Sunday it was cleaned and on a new stand! I recently did wainscotting in the livingroom so the new stand needed to match. I'm still on a white paint kick :biggrin:

It's sorta funny using a refractometer with someone else's initial written on the box lol. The tank included 2 clowns, a 6-line I rehomed, lots of torch coral, some frogspawn, featherduster, boatloads of shrooms and aiptasia.

Game on?

It's nice!

I like those tanks. One day when I downgrade I might do a similar setup myself.

Your signature .. :lol: ....

[lastlight]

Things I need to do (I'm posting here so you guys can pretend to care lol):

- Replace bulb
- Get me some ROX 0.8
- Replace membranes and filters for ro/di (this initial fill is 100% tapwater)
- get new airstone for the 'skimmer' <-- Geez
- Find replacement for my Ranco temp controller which I borrowed back for now
- Continue praying yesterday's top temp of 82F is not exceeded before summer comes and we hopefully get central AC!

[JDigital]

I couldn't help but LOL in the office when saw a new thread from you. How long will this one last? :lol:

Wanna frag a head of that Torch! Looks like you got a few extra! :mrgreen:

Good to see you back.. I'm going to have to check out your 392.. I don't recall that build.

[Delphinus]

Things I need to do (I'm posting here so you guys can pretend to care lol):

- Replace bulb

I honestly think a tank of this size is begging for LED's of some kind. (I say this being a card carrying member of the Losers without LED club). But seriously, a halide over 28 gallons in 2012 is kind of silly.

- Get me some ROX 0.8


Vertex packages ROX 0.8 now and you can get it from everyone's favourite tank builder (new and improved formulation now with moar Newfie content too)


- Replace membranes and filters for ro/di (this initial fill is 100% tapwater)
- get new airstone for the 'skimmer' <-- Geez


Hey, don't knock the counter current skimmers. Pound for pound they are still among the most effective skimmers (yeah, replacing airstones and airpumps is a drag)


- Find replacement for my Ranco temp controller which I borrowed back for now
- Continue praying yesterday's top temp of 82F is not exceeded before summer comes and we hopefully get central AC!

See above re. LED's :p

[lastlight]

There is aiptasia galore in here so not sure you want a frag. There is a smaller 4 head piece I could trade though?

The pictures are no longer there for the 392 I will have to dig around to find them in my photo library some day. It was a big ugly tank nuff said!

[Coralgurl]

Welcome Back!!! Seeing you starting to post again, had to assume something was up! Congrats on the 28, its cute!! :mrgreen:

[mseepman]

Just so glad to see you back!

[JDigital]

I've got ZERO to trade.. :lol: shame it is aiptasia infected. Maybe I'll pass.

[lastlight]

Tony I'm back because I'm getting back cheap. Replacing a single bulb every year (hey a 4 year old stock bulb kept the torch alive pretty well so maybe it can last longer!) that looks really nice vs going with a $400 LED unit that I won't even like the looks of.

Is the Vertex ROX the real deal? I'll have to get some once Dave gets my bulbs and ro/di stuff in.

[lastlight]

Thanks guys. Creeping the forums silently out of habit just felt wrong ya know?

[Delphinus]

http://www.modularled.ca/29g-biocube/

I'd give it a think.

And yes, the Vertex Rox is the real deal... :)

[lastlight]

That's $270 with the required dimming kits and is for the BioCube not sure it would fit in a NanoCube. I think I'd pickup a cheap used 150w viper light and go open top if temps go any higher. I've got a lead on one if it comes to that but I plan to get another tailspot so the canopy is really appealing. I don't have a massive eurobrace on this tank to knock jumpers unconscious.

[mseepman]

Well, there are other options on LED. 3 x 10W LED plus ELN60-48 plus a rheostat along with a little U-channel and you've got a sub $200 LED light.

Just saying....

[miuYH]

Those Touch Corals look awesome. Please take a picture for us when everything settles and opens up :)

[Aquattro]

There's gotta be a "I told ya so" somewhere in here :razz:

[Leah]

Did the sleeper come with the tank too?

[lastlight]

There's gotta be a "I told ya so" somewhere in here :razz:

The first tank in my sig was 2006 brad. My entire hobby career has been an I told you so. I mean I even had to buy another jackpost for under the floor I'd given the old one away!

Did the sleeper come with the tank too?

Lol I didn't even notice my rugrat in the shot.

[lastlight]

Those Touch Corals look awesome. Please take a picture for us when everything settles and opens up :)

I recall how nice both the torch and frogspawn looked years ago. I hope some tlc brings them back.

[lockrookie]

Good to see you back will follow as always

Continue praying yesterday's top temp of 82F is not exceeded before summer comes and we hopefully get central AC!

These things get really hot, even the ones with just the CF bulbs. By the end of May my NC12 (which had CF bulbs) was reaching just past 82F, so I had to retire it.

I would recommend that you keep your eyes open for a chiller or that you move the tank to your basement.

The NC24 I'm working on is upstairs in our house, has DIY leds . . . and I know the chiller will be required some time in the spring for sure. I'll "T" off the return pump and carve out spots in the back of the hood for the tubes to pass through.

These are great little tanks . . . but the temperature issues are pronounced.

[Leah]

Tank looks great! Brett.

And I for one... have missed you around here. :wink: Glad to have you back on board. Canreef is just not the same without a few people. :lol:

[Skimmerking]

BRETT;
You
are
worst
then me
and
my skimmer's

[lastlight]

Haha thanks guys and yes Mike as fragged up as that is... I AM :mrgreen:

I still have a hole in the wall behind the couch so I can get a chiller (again) and run it from the basement if needed.

My Solana was totally fine with an open top if I recall correctly when I had the 4-fan unit clipped on it so there's another option. I'd then look at the Clip-on 150w Viper or maybe an LED. If I'm going to spend ballpark 250 I'd *maybe* look into a fixture like the vega. Thing is I honestly prefer the look of halides. At the end of the day what's any of the cost worth if when you look at the tank and don't like what you see?:neutral:

If we get AC then there is no issue as I would keep the main floor at 21. This current config hits 82F when the room is 22. I'd be content with a 78-82 swing it's the same range I ran on my last tank.

[Leah]

:laugh: I hate to admit but Mike is right...for once. :biggrin:

[jorjef]

Atta boy, welcome back to the asylum... I'll let you decide if it's the insane or sanctuary version.

hey, great run today.

[fishoholic]

It's nice!

I like those tanks.

I'd say equal not worse! :razz:

[lastlight]

Shelley did you ever try blowing a fan across the back chambers? That water is all exposed seems to me a 4-fan clip-on blowing down in there could do wonders. That's the cheapest and first thing I'm going to try =) We're cat owners again too and the canopy sorta gives me some peace of mind.

[riceboy]

lol welcome back my friend. i like your signature with all the previous tanks lol

[sphelps]

It was only a matter of time. Welcome back.

[Snappy]

WELCOME HOME BRETT!

[Doug]

Glad to see you back on the board Brett. And love the signature. :D

[Coleus]

Welcome back Brett, and it is not shameful to admit that you like to collect aptasia :)

[lastlight]

Lol at least I can buy a few peppermints and have a decent chance they'll eat them in such a small tank. Between wrasses and way more rock to hide in and forage for tastier morsels the 8 I bought either perished or ignored the aiptasia.

[claymax]

i can honestly say that throwing modular leds into my cube was one of the best upgrades ive done. 2:1 rb:nw is the way to go hands down IMO. im running 26 leds at 65, and 75% and my sps still thinks its a little much. the heatsink and all that fits into the hood just fine if you shave off some of the heatsink. i hit 82 once this summer but i think it was cause i have i skimmer feed pump, one skimmer pump a return pump and a circulation pump all running in my sump. i should probably plumb my skimmer into the overflow one of these days :redface:
oh and if you do buy from martin make sure you get the antec true silent fan, the only way to hear it is by touching my ear to my hood, super silent.

[Dez]

Over a year and a half on LEDs and my sps are still growing. I still have almost all of my original pieces except for the large colonies I've sold or given away...

Don't buy a new bulb, figure out your LED lighting. You won't regret it.

I didn't think you'd be back so soon, welcome back :)

[Skimmerking]

Glad to see you back on the board Brett. And love the signature. :D

Holy crap i just noticed that and they are all links to your tanks, Crap i better not try that with the Skimmers then I will eat bandwidth for sure..


Laurie that is enough out of you, just dont let Doug see that comment he will dig me for sure.:lol:

[lastlight]

Don't buy a new bulb, figure out your LED lighting. You won't regret it.

I actually ordered two lol. I think they'll get harder to find so Dave's going to ask his suppliers to dig around in the warehouse trash cans to find a couple.

Down the road if I ever find myself upgrading to something a little bit bigger (zero chance I know what you're thinking) I'm sure the technology will be there. If I liked a single tank I've seen under LED more than halides I wouldn't hesitate to invest but regardless of what manufacturers claim I see disco ball effect in EVERY tank.

Holy crap i just noticed that and they are all links to your tanks, Crap i better not try that with the Skimmers then I will eat bandwidth for sure..

Yeah Mike and one of my skimmers once became yours. Somehow we could create a space-time continuity hiccup if we're not careful here!

[Funky_Fish14]

Lol Brett, Looking good!

I have a thread title suggestion...

Lastlight's New Light

:lol:

Cheers,

Chris

[lastlight]

Installed my new Kessil a150w Sky Blue tonight and I officially love my LED lit tank! Absolutely zero colour banding and the colour temperature to my eyes is somewhere extremely close to that of the old 150w halide that was in here. Between 11 and 12k I'd say. Looks very natural to my eyes with barely any blue. Perhaps just a smidgen dimmer looking than the halide with a few more shadowy spots up near the top in the back but EVERY last colour in the corals looks improved and the shimmer is incredible. I need to make a screen top now... I'm rolling the dice for a few days with my neon goby but so far he's lived exclusively on the sandbed from what I've observed.

Besides the corals, clowns and neon goby which I managed photos of I've also got:

- 2 peppermint shrimp (who are starting to mow down my aiptasia)
- pistol shrimp and yellow shrimp goby pair

I'm on the lookout for a tailspot now but won't pull the trigger until my mesh top is in place.

Here's some pics! Some are fairly crappy but they'll be handy to track growth later on blah blah blah. A big thank-you to SteveConn who was super kind in giving me back a clipping of my beloved purple gorg. Time to grow that sumbeatch back!

Dude is that blue clove I see in your tank.

What happened to "I'm going to stick with halides cause LEDs suck" (my paraphrase of you and your thoughts)

[lastlight]

Dude is that blue clove I see in your tank.

That's Kien's way of welcoming me back to the hobby. Freebie Pests FTW! (thanks btw)

What happened to "I'm going to stick with halides cause LEDs suck" (my paraphrase of you and your thoughts)

Even a moderately warm day outside caused my temperature to hit 82 or 83 with the canopy and heater that happens to also glow lol. Decided to take the plunge mostly due to that. The cannon style LEDs have some of the spirit of a halide while running cool. Time will tell how this teeny 35W wonder performs but my needs are a lot more modest these days.

[Leah]

Sexy tank you got going there.

[mseepman]

Welcome to the LED side...the tank is looking great! So glad to have you back on here.

[Delphinus]

I honestly think a tank of this size is begging for LED's of some kind.

Can I gloat a little bit now? :p

[riceboy]

lol nice, its just a matter of time till ur tank is full of them lol. i'm just waiting on when the sps bug will bite you again lol.

[kien]

I love your torch!

Let me know if your cloves don't make it. There's plenty more where they came from!

Seriously tho, am I the only one on canreef that actually likes clove polyps?! :Lol: Fuzzy purple on rocks is prettier than brown IMO. Yes they have taken over some rocks but they do not irritate any corals that ive noticed. Mine cloves are always outcompeted when other corals (sps/lps) start encrusting on their territory.

i don't know about your Polyps but the ones i got took over my chalice and zoas so i despise them lol

[JDigital]

That torch coral is sweet! Although it got one head to many, I think you need to frag it! :wink:

[kien]

i don't know about your Polyps but the ones i got took over my chalice and zoas so i despise them lol

okay, I can kinda see them competing fiercely with zoas LOL. I don't have any of those. I had a watermellon chalice that outcompeted my cloves. I dunno man, they seem fairly easy to control to me. Whenever there is a patch that i want to clear I just take a hard bristled toothbrush and scrub the area clean. Or smother them with a bit of epoxy for a day or two then remove the epoxy. Nice clean surface again.

[lastlight]

Sexy tank you got going there.

Welcome to the LED side...the tank is looking great! So glad to have you back on here.

Thanks guys! I'm excited to tinker with it and just appreciate having a slice of the reef again without all the overhead.

Can I gloat a little bit now? :p

I expect nothing less get to it =)

lol nice, its just a matter of time till ur tank is full of them lol. i'm just waiting on when the sps bug will bite you again lol.

Once I'm using ro/di and have some ROX and HC GFO going I'll maybe grab a few nice pieces and see what happens. I still see this tank as more of an easy / laid back reef with lots of movement.

That torch coral is sweet! Although it got one head to many, I think you need to frag it! :wink:

I told you if you're a brave lad and don't mind the aiptasia let's do a trade. My peps actually cleaned all the pests off the torch skeletons from what I can see...

As for the cloves I really like'em. They're on their own rock but I wouldn't be surprised to see them spread somehow. it's crazy easy to access the insides of this tank so if I need to scrape some gsp or cloves once in a while that's ok with me. My first task is to blade most of the mushrooms off the rockwork!

[Douglas]

That tank looks much better than day "one", when i saw it first. Looks good Brett! The Six line wrasse is getting along perfectly, thanks again, Doug

[lastlight]

Thanks Doug glad to hear he's being a model citizen.

Yeah tank has a long way to go but is certainly improving. This rock was infested with aiptasia. I actually just scoured the tank and it's been two days since I first noticed my shrimp eating the pests. I can't find a single one now :biggrin:

[The Grizz]

Is THAT an LED I see there Mr. President of the "losers without LED'S" club? :razz:

Very sweet little set up there big guy, looks great! :thumb:

[mike31154]

Great photos & fine looking tank. The Kessil looks like it's a perfect fit.

[lastlight]

Borrowed my father-in-law's macro again. I have to drag my couch out from the wall and manually unplug things to kill flow in the tank so I never bothered. A few turned out decently sharp even with flow in the tank though. The curved glass in the front and even the stuff on the sides somehow makes shooting pictures in this tank very difficult. There are corals in some places I will never be able to take nice shots of unfortunately.

Nah take it easy for a while and enjoy the easy maintenance of a nano.

[lastlight]

in the end all i want is a tank that's still very modestly sized but has a sump. A sump and getting rid of the bowed front will be the only reason I replace the tank. It's already loosely planned for next summer =)

[BlueTang<3]

Lol sweet you got some awsome corals in that little nano.

Lol sweet you got some awsome corals in that little nano.

Thanks Wes it's coming along =)

Today I did something a little strange for me and purchased an mp10. i've always dreaded the ecotech noise but was so frustrated trying to get flow right in the tank using a tunze nano stream. the flow is too focused and to get flow right in the centre of the tank i had to turn the perimeter of the scape into a jacuzzi! i came close by aiming my flared return flow into the nano stream to scatter a bit of flow into the middle but it wasn't good enough.

I was anxious to correct this because Greg (Snappy) generously agreed to give me back a frag of my old hoeksemai and i'll do whatever it takes to keep it happy. I'm running it in reef crest mode and topping out at 60% power. Yes there is the typical whirring sound but it doesn't get all that loud at 60% and we barely noticed it after the kids went to bed. with the kids awake they become dead silent =)

I only had one spot to mount the thing but the beauty of these things seems to be it barely matters where they go. I have absolutely perfect flow everywhere in the tank now. Bye bye Tunze! They've got a place in larger tanks for sure but I'm a convert. I'll add one more mp10 when I eventually transfer to a slightly larger tank next year.

If this wasn't a family board i'd use a little profanity to convey how much i love this thing.

[lastlight]

Here's two really bad phone pics of some new coral I picked up today.

I like how your cat has that "WTF" look on its face.

Seriosuly though, WTF??

[lastlight]

needed something beefy. i like my big gulps BIG.

and speaking of WTF moments... the cats were sleeping at the foot of the bed last night and my wife moved her leg i guess and scared them. one of them raced all the way up her body and left a nice big scratch in her scalp and some more on her back. lucky for her the eyes are ok!

kids woke up and i'm in the bathroom wiping blood off her head. love cats but man sometimes you want to strangle them.

[kien]

I had a cat that did that to me once. Was spooked and ran up my chest, face and leaped off the top of my head with a nice firm grip of its claws dug into my scalp. Good times LOL.

[sphelps]

Somewhat disappointed, was hoping for an end table with a slightly more stepped profile.

haha come on now. cats are totally evil but they're so cuddly when they're not opening your body up.

i figured lighting a flat and level big gulp holder would be easier to do with one fixture. i worried about shadows cast by the step down and then if I had snacks and stuff in the lower area they might get lost in the dark.

Sumpin' seems fishy about this "end table".... :lol:

Don't be jealous Levi, one day when you grow up you can look as damn good as I do but it might cost you a lot more then those new frags you just got to get that much work done.

I had a cat that did that to me once. Was spooked and ran up my chest, face and leaped off the top of my head with a nice firm grip of its claws dug into my scalp. Good times LOL.


Way back when I had a 120g in the living room with two good-sized Tiger Oscars. Our cat used to sit on the tank canopy and peer over the edge at the Oscars. One day there was a loud CRASH and SPLASH and I ran into the LR to see what was up. As I came around the corner a black fuzz ball moving at Mach 3 leaped onto my chest and used my face for a launching pad. It seems one of the Oscars had enough of the cat and hit the lid with enough force to send the cat and the lid crashing to the floor. Between the broken glass, tank water and blood dripping from my face, it was quite the scene. Needless to say, that was the day I became a dog person!

Haha that sounds like fun lance. we rented an apartment back in the day and the fire alarm went off. She grabbed the easy cat. I grabbed the hard one which ripped me to shreds. My back and leg looked like a bloody pincushion. He got away from me and I had to go back in for him. Trapped the ******* in a thick blanket and dragged him out.

[Mike-fish]
