Helloooooo what size Finnex do you have set up? How long? Are you happy with it??
Just a few questions for you. I was looking at other brands when mboswell and Rotary found me the Finnex. So far I love it..It has only been set up since Sat. night. I'm reading up on stock while I'm waiting, and waiting and waiting to cycle.

looks good, but need more info. what size tank is this? what equipment are you running, did you do any mods to the equipment, etc, etc.....more info please.....i too like the aqua scaping......
It's a 30 gal, everything built in the back as you can see from the 1st pic at the top of this thread. Has the built in refugium (has about a 1" 1/2 sand bed in it), skimmer, I haven't done any mods (yet). The only thing I've added is a hydor koralia nano to add water movement. Once it cycles and I actually get something in it, I may add another hydor. It's only been up and running for 4 days now.. I'm doing the waiting thing now. Testing every night when I get home from work. so far ph 8.0, ammonia .25. Not testing for anything else yet. Oh yeah, the lights, 6 24 watt T5's 4-10,000 & 2 actinics, a 13 watt light on the refugium.

Thanks and good luck on the 5.5. Sounds like you're ahead of the waiting game.
The waiting is the hardest part. But, going slow, don't want to make the mistakes I made a few years ago with my 65.

Hi,
I am eyeballing a red sea max 34gal. or a 29gal nano. I read that the finnex is better but does anyone know why? This will be my first saltwater tank , so any clue or advice on which to buy and why would be appreciated.

The reason I chose the Finnex is because I heard the red sea max you had to modify. Not sure about the 29 nano.... The only problem I have found so far with the Finnex is the LED's are on the same circuit with the actinic and when they turn off with my timer, the LED's won't come on because the switch has to be turned off for the LED's to come on. I am manually turning them on at night. So far everything else is great.

I noticed our local P**S***T stocks them they look really cool. Might just have to stick one in the bedroom.

I'm thinking if I end up going to a larger tank; definitely bedroom.

I've got a few of those feather dusters. I think they may die off, but will regrow imo. I had a few when I got it, but htey have multiplied like crazy.
And did you make the stand? I love it, it's beautiful and extremely practical. Oh and nice tank to
