FTS.. should have cleaned up a bit first
Fuge has a pump MOD that pulls with the pump in the fuge, also has a pump with 1/4 line that feed from the main tank for low flow, and allows for feeding copepods (TISBE)
the setup feeds a blue stripe pipefish, I feed the fuge Tahitian blend from brineshrimpdirrect, and pods from Todds Pods

also, I have a fan/cooler that clicks on when the room temp hits 80.. worked flawlessly all summer
power strip is AI-neutronics UL approved and well worth the 100$ IMO

makers heat sink and controller..
my MODs and Builds are on nano-reef, same screen name

Welcome to SCR, Andrew!

Look at that Pink coral in your first pic... so pretty :)

How far is the real reef from your city?
Are there any other reefers in Lompoc?

I'm looking forward to seeing more pictures coming up soon!

hey Sumi,
there is actually a guy here that frags out of his garage with probable 1000 gal worth of tanks in it.
I've gotten most of my stuff from him, and had the opportunity to get first pick on a lot of corals..

i'm also 10 miles from the beach, and 30 miles from 6 beaches in 2 directions

Andrew,

Wow, 1000 is huge. Seems like a lot of options in it.

And you're close to all the beach area!
It's the coolest thing to have various kinds of beach to go:D

Welcome, Andrew. I just set up on of these tanks. Do you have a pic of how you installed the Tunze Skimmer? Is it helping?
