JJ's 220 Gal Reef
 
I wouldn't Call this much of a Journal... Just somewhere to figure out how to upload pics to in order to compare growth over time... make sure things are going good.

Here is a few older pics of the set up when I had 3x 250W MH lighting system above tank...

Looks like you're using the new Beta version of Photobucket
I haven't tried it yet as I've read many peeps online are having issues copying pics to webpages from it
Don't know if that's the case with anyone else here ...

mrhasan 10-30-2012 06:41 AM

You have to use the direct jpeg link. [IMG] command won't be able to fetch the images from the link you posted (since there are multiple images and scripts in the link).

Example of the output:
http://i1279.photobucket.com/albums/...m/IMG_3387.jpg

Just right click on the image you posted in the links and choose "Copy image URL" and use that :)

That's all my pics for now... other then older pics of my previous tanks...

jjntm 10-30-2012 08:29 PM

u can rly notice growth diff when looking at the monti's on the overflow.... MH pics were days before taking down old lights and setting up the LED's.... the next pic is almost 4 weeks later under LED....HUGE diff in the growth and color of the tank.

NIVLEM09 10-30-2012 08:29 PM

Nice tank...love the Zoos and Acans,i just wish i knew where i can buy acans:sad: the only place i know is fragalot:redface:

That's where all of my acans but 2 came from...I'd be careful saying that tho... I was banned for talking about that company a few months back.... stopped coming on here for quite some time cuz I thought it was VERY childish and pitiful that a certain mod (I will leave you un named for now,)banned me for something so stupid... but what can u do... took me 3 months to swallow my pride and log back into here...

You do however need to be cautious when ordering from there... He doesn't always reply very promptly.... I waited 5 months to FINALLY receive my doa/missing corals... however when I did receive them last week the order was amazing... and he did go over and above to get me what I was missing and also through in quite a few freebies that were very nice! But just be prepared to wait and stay on top of him if he doesn't answer... part of my problem is I got sooo busy with work I didn't try to communicate with him for 3 months.

jjntm 10-30-2012 08:49 PM

Another big note on color intensity under LED is if you look at the blue/purple hornet zoos.... (purple/blue with yellow ring and yellow skirt) it is dull and washed out under MH yet INTENSE under LED....

molotov 10-30-2012 09:09 PM

Nice system you got going there.

What length is your tank? I noticed you're only running 3 led fixtures?

Canuckgod420 10-30-2012 10:05 PM

Not bad buddy, to bad my SLR is in the shop. I will come take some pics when I get it back.

Tanks looking good.

NIVLEM09 10-30-2012 11:59 PM

Ive heard stories about that "guy" who will remain anonymous but we all know:mrgreen: im considering buying corals from him...

it is 6ft long x 2 ft wide by 30" tall tank... I figured I only had the 3x 250W MH phoenix 14k bulbs running before with a 44" led moonlight strip to accent the blue and never used the 4x 96W pc bulbs before so I decided to test my luck on starting out with the 3 AI sols and adding another tunze 6105 power head (left side of tank not shown in pics,) canuckgod420 and I discussed it and figured this is the best option to start and now I will slowly add more sol's or vega's as I sell more frags or my old MH lighting fixture(anyone want to buy it? lol)

Sounds good... maybe then we can truly capture the colors since my iphone DOES NOT do any justice...

jjntm 10-31-2012 04:26 AM

for those who will ask....I am currently not dosing ca/alk/mg as last time I tested they were all high... I use regular old IO salt since I can't get my reef crystals anymore... and was dosing 4 drops of Zeovit amino acid and 6 drops of zeo pohls coral vitalizer daily, but am holding off till I get parameters back in check.

Other then that I am running the super reef octopus 3000xp skimmer in sump, the cone shaped reactor u see on JL front counter with bio-pellets and also just started to run carbon....

I feed home made mix made by canuckgod420 (AWESOME STUFF!! everything in the tank loves it!!!) and also feed seaweed, (anyone know where to buy in bulk? currently spending $3.99 per 10 sheets at grocery store, has to be somewhere better to buy.) I am hoping I have some of the asians chime in here, rich, chris, or even anthony, I know you do your research and HAVE to know by now where to get plain old seaweed from by now...:razz:

well thats about it for now... I will update with more pics in due time... once I get some real growth to happen and all parameters are back in check...

jjntm 01-13-2013 08:47 PM

Updated pics of the tank...
 
Figured I would add an update since it had been so long, Tank went through red bugs and some sps receited... but after 4 weeks of dosing, everything is looking pretty sweet again, so I figured that I would compare them to the old pics and see if their is any additional growth or if their is still recession from then.

Updated set up... added the 10 gal refug, calerpa/macro/chaeto tank that the chaeto got out of control in, so removed the chaeto and added to the sump, moved the macro to the new 33 gal cube lps garden and moved the anemones & 3 clowns to the 10 gal tank instead for now until I Find out if the zetlight is gonna be enough to support the nems then moving up to the livingroom tank. If not then I guess I will have to sell them since I wanted them out of the sps tank in case they ever decided to wonder now that I have a lot of higher end corals.
