My New propagation system

reefcam · 04-30-2002, 01:51 AM

It's finally done. Well almost. Since my Bangaiis started to breed, I originally setup a tank in the garage to help raise the frys. But the tank was hard to maintain as I was trying to use left over equipments I had laying around. So, finally I came across an opportunity to expand my system and make it bigger and better. Well bigger right now. Now that I have finally got about 90% done, I thought I show some pictures of what it looks like as most folks near me have been asking. So here's the link t the system.

I still have lighting to complete. Just got the VHO lighting on for now.

Looks good. Do you have any trouble heating it since it's in the garage?

Fine looking setup, RC. Looks like you're about ready to do some serious coral farming!

Great setup... How do you use the Kold Sterile, all of the time or just periodically? Looks like your good to go...

Thanks.

Questions on Heating the Tank:
I currently have a 300W heater in the tank and currently the temp is sitting around 72 - 73 degrees. With our great weather in the NW, the tank got up to 76 degrees. Keep the garage warm. The garage will get the sunlight all day when summer hits, so I'll need to turn the heater off then. I'm hoping that when I get the MH lights up, they will be my main heating source, as this is how my main tank is heated. The main display tank has no heater in it. I'll keep the heater around for the winter.

Heaven, I just don't know...hmmmm, let me see, we'll have to talk.

cyberchef, I'm currently using the Kold Sterile unit as my main top off unit to my main tank. The unit is hooked up to the house plumbing and to a level switch that adds freshwater to the tank daily. I'm going to get another to hook up to the new setup so it can top off the system while I'm gone. The only tank that it is not currently hooked up to is my 50 gal, but I only top off that tank once a week. So not too bad.
