GoVols: Red Sea S-400

[GoVols]

Glad your tank is on the mend from the TMP disaster Freddie! My acros are coloring back up with every water change

That some good news Tim!

After talking to Matt, they (brs) sent a form to fill out, with a picture of the batch # as well.

Just finished a water change

Never tried this:
Shots with an 2018 iPad?????

lol.... ;Wacky
That Mel wrasse is hard to capture.

I’m loving the Deltec but the skimmer. Haven’t been using it long but did my first cup cleaning. Was only draining and everyday turning the wiper. I will watch and check the venture. Thanks for the tip.

Hope cleaning your venturi helps.

That self turn neck cleaner is real nice.

Does your Achilles come to your hand while feeding?

 

[Crabby48]

Achilles comes up to eat from my hand but I don’t let her eat much. I hand feed the CBB and Achilles becomes a pig. They all come over to nibble from hand but the wrasse come by and hit it quick. They don’t like to linger by my hands.

Great shots specially the angell. wrasse are hard to photograph between the movement and for the colors to show. Yours looks to have great color and is a beast.

Final GoVols S-400 Update:

Guys,
After struggling so long with this reef’s parameters, it came to the point to make some decision's.

At first I was selling the entire setup and leaving the hobby. The entire setup was posted to sell.

That move started to way on Angelia’s heart (sad), so we had a long talk.

I told her there would only be one setup that I would have in mind. Black, Red Sea “Reefer” Nano.

Welp, that setup had been discontinued, for better sales in the Max Nano, but knew it’s sump / downpipes are the same for a Reefer 170.

After a hunt and some no’s, contacted Aquarium Specialty, they took the time to contact Red Sea USA.

After consulting with Red Sea USA, AS fired back that they were still 3 black Reefer Nano’s on Red Sea USA‘s floor. With AS’s help I pulled the trigger, and remain active in this cazy… hobby.

Got to give @AquariumSpecialty, Kudos!!

Just shooting for a BTA / Clownfish reef.

We’ve kept (and using) the Abyzz A100, Apex jr, ReefWave 25, Teco (SeaChill) TK-1000 and 4 Head ReefDose.

Pushing one ReefLed 90 and added in a NYOS 120 skimmer, into the reefer’s sump.

Yep, you can dial in the 120 on an 28 gallon (dead silent), but stopped skimming. Just using for using for aeration.

Going 4” deep sand bed / Tropic Eden (live sand) Reef Flakes. At this time have hit the diatom stage.

The S-400’s live stock was sold to The Aquatic Critter.

After looking over the S-400’s live rock, it was truly time to do a full reboot.

At this time all is out of the S-400, except for running with fresh water. The S-400 will sell as stock, with some tossed in, goodies.

Guys,
We have a had a great run, including some nice experiment's along the way, with some great results…

but, it’s time to let this build thread lay.

Everyone who has tagged along during anytime has been a blessing.

Over the years, you guys truly drove this thread.

Thanks so much!!

The End,
GoVols…

Freddie like Semisonic sang every new beginning comes from some other beginnings end. It’s all about enjoyment and nothing wrong with a smaller slice of ocean if you will enjoy it. Thanks for sharing the ride

 

[Crabby48]

All good things come to an end and new beginnings start. Love the idea of clown and anemones. Stop in and say hello with a tank pic once in awhile.
Cheers Freddy and thank you for your help when I started. I’ll never forget you told me about TSM and they really made a dream I thought was impossible possible

 

[Fudsey]

Sorry to hear but glad your staying in the hobby.

Make sure you put a link to your new build in here for us all to find it. ;-)

 

[PanchoG]

A bit sad to see the S-400 go but happy for your new nano. Ready to follow your new build thread.!

 

[SPR1968]

[jsker]

Nano Build - GoVols: Red Sea Reefer Nano

Alright, The S-400 did sell and it was drove out of state last weekend. Hope all three buyers are happy with their items. We always had a roll top desk before the S-400 was bought and a Red Sea 130 set on the top. The top’s wood was toast while the 130 was on it. Then when we moved in the...
