    UNS 90S Shallow Minimalist Build

    Tank update. Amazing how much slower this build Is taking compared to working on larger tanks 15 years ago. Added a 16g ATO container instead of the 10 gal tank. Built out the manifold for the external Fuge. Glued drilled and plumbed the Fuge. I’m just waiting for a 1/2 endcap that got...

    Acrylic work/glue local

    Hey guys wondering if you know of a place or any one that can glue one 1.5” hole in a Biorb 14 tank closed. It’s going become my cheato spinner. I have acrylic left over from making simple lids and covers for my sump and 10g ATO but can’t find Weld-on #4 or # 16 locally. I don’t really want to...

    Star Destroyer Nuvo 14

    Once I got the main shape where I wanted I took to redoing the tower and adding damage to look like it really crashed into the sand. Today I put finish touches on battle damage and here it is. Last step will be color. Going maybe try ARK rock safe colorant in a black or try Krylon...

    Star Destroyer Nuvo 14

    Hey guys Got a new tank about to get up and going. It’s a IM Nuvo 14 Peninsula. Going be a temp/isolation tank while the big UNS 90s is doing a long term cycle and maturing for its anemones. Wanted something easy to house my Clowns and easy to have battery back ups during hurricane season...

    UNS 90S Shallow Minimalist Build

    Update. Got the tank plumbed and fully filled. Dual Pumps are way stronger than expected but this may end up being a blessing. May not need to run any Powerheads for the Nems. Added one of the two lights to give it some light during this long cycle. Running minimal gear in the tank for the...

    12V to 24V battery backup

    Got it all put together and the Amazon Step up adapter works great. My setup is Ecotech charger to 12v battery backup, to Amazon Step Up, to Tunze Safety adapter, to IM Mighty Jet. As much as I could is plug in adapters, so no modifications to the Tunze or Ecotech, or Might Jet also no need...

    12V to 24V battery backup

    Just found the battery step up he’s using and it looks very similar to the one I ordered. At least I know I’m on the right party hahaha and not going rouge.

    12V to 24V battery backup

    Cody are you using it with a 12 or 24v battery? If 24v did you have him add the booster, or just using 2 batteries? Wish I had have seen this before. This is what I’m building but enclosed with a Voltmeter on the outside. Even come with a battery bridge to use 2 12v to make 24v and even...

    12V to 24V battery backup

    I did not know maybe I’ll have to take a second look, I assumed they were more like a computer UPS. Have to price compare a larger one with a bigger battery. Bigger tank I would like to use a 12v 100ah LiFePO4, so maybe they have something in that size. Need to price both systems out and see...

    12V to 24V battery backup

    That seems cool for AC power items, but just like a computer USP it’s going lose a ton of battery converting DC to AV to run the pump. Plus adding the Tunze Safety ($60) makes it way more expensive. I ordered the parts and I’ll post the build when it all get here. Basically going use a Ecotech...

    12V to 24V battery backup

    Thanks for the reply so assuming the pump draws max 24W it would be a 2A draw. If I ran it at 10W it would be about 1A draw so the converter with a 5A max would work? Someone else recommended just going with the 10A or 15A as they would run cooler and maybe more efficiently. Any idea if that...

    12V to 24V battery backup

    Hey everyone. I’ve got a technical question for anyone who knows some about electronics. I am building a battery backup for my IM Nuvo with a Mighty jet. Its a 24V so I will need to use a Step Up converter or two 12V batteries is series. I want to use one larger lithium battery with a...

    UNS 90S Shallow Minimalist Build

    Small update Got half the plumbing done but ran out of fittings so waiting on BRS to ship more. I got the Reefmat setup and all holes for plumbing finished. Few things left before I can fully fill the tank. Need to seal the holes in the side of the tank. Waiting for two simplicity1000 pumps...

    UNS 90S Shallow Minimalist Build

    Lil update Moved the tank to a better location in the house. Finished up the ATO container cabinet for the left side of the tank. Decided on sand instead of bare or plastic bottom. Special Grade sand going to be very shallow like 1/4-1/2 deep. Extra sand is in the tank to cycle then will be...
