The Birth of The Waterboys Nano - EVOLUTION / REVOLUTION

all looking very high tech marco !! good luck !! so is the new gemmatum going in this tank?
 
Nice bro. You welcome to dip into my gene pool when the time's right. Look forward to updates.
 
hennie.....hows it going?
shot for spotting the halide globe......just as a matter of intrest, thats how the unit was sent to me....can you believe it!

adam, thanks for the compliment.......i will let you know how the ozone works out.......

been working on the sump design all day........its a real pain in the ass trying to get all the equipment into a small space......
ive made a stencil of the size of the pull out sump bottom, so im working on moving things around as we speak.
gotta get the stand design right before i hand it to northlands to manufacture.....

got the awesome rio moon light from eco-aquatics last night.

electricians busy with the db box too....

need to purchase a chiller...............i wanted buy the haliea HC380 but the place i was hopping to get it from at cost had sold it and the supplier no longer imports them.......my only other choice (affordability wise) is resun........has anybody used these chillers????
 
I have the small Resun CL300, had it for almost 2 years now, never had an ounce of trouble with it, it is not deadly accurate but it works.
 
This is going to be sooo sweet !!!!!!

Where's the water already :lol:
 
looking good marco!will see you soon to give you a hand :)
 
wow this is going to look great excellent equipment ,all the luck
 
Awesome,looking forward to seeing this one...... i wondered how long it would take until you started another setup.
 
thanks guys.....
after consulting with calfo and a few others, ive decided to loose the calcium reactor.
for two main reasons...one being space, the other being no need to have one with the size nano im setting up
so i have a brand new reefoctopus cr170 calcium reactor for sale......../ willing to trade for brand new kalk reactor (prefferably AM or TUNZE)

sale price of calcium reactor would be R1400.00
 
alright great...the calcium reactor is sold and a great amount of my equipment arrived today....
just waiting for kalk reactor, sump, stand, some more geisiman t5's and my custom hood from reef inmates.
Mika and myself had a great time inspecting the new equipment.......
oh for those who dont know, this nano reef will be dedicated to my son and will be called Mika's reef, im gonna include him as much as i can at this age to try get hin to enjoy the nano and hopefully drive him to wanna do something great for the hobby in future....
i recieved this really awesome compact , quite micro chiller today....rated for 300 litres

Marco all looking good, tell me where did you get the chiller from and how much? I need one for my Octagon. Other thing is how will you run the DB - will each piece of equipment be wired to each breaker switch, i.e. are you going to cut the wires?
 
i got it from julies pets. cassim has always helped and supported me and when i mentioned to him i may be looking for a skimmer he told me about this one......plus because of bussiness relationship he gave me a sweeeeeet deal.
yes each piece of equipment will run on a seperate breaker so yes i will be cutting wires.
i think i know where you heading ......guarantee fall away.........well i can promise you if i purchase good equipment and it fails, and the supplier tells me there is no guarantee because the plug has been cut off...........i would probably tell him/her that i cannot guarantee that i wont shuv that pathetic 2 pin plug horizontaly up there you know what. (seriously though....the person who invented a 2 pin plug should be shot)
 
WOW! Marco. The lil dude is growing hey! You will have to update your avatar :) oh and nice goodies njummy.
