wow Ace! Very impressive.
-
I agree totally. A few snails wont hurt and a Nasarius one to stir up the sand a little. I made the mistake of putting some peppermints in mine in the beginning and never established a good bunch of critters until I took them out.

Great meeting and thanks to our gracious hosts.
-
Very generous. Will be great to see you at the meeting.
-
How much rock do you have? I would be surprised that you would need the canister filter at all. Another option might be a hang on fuge to help with the phosphates.
-
Yes it did come from you. And sure im sure it would be very seedable. It's growing like mad.

This is a frag that I have since moved in the middle of the tank under all of the light. The white sea whip lookin thing pretty much grew out of nowhere. I think it has grew to about the 1.5" or so in about 2 weeks. I am not sure if I could remove it. It is kinda grown in the middle of those yellow polyps and a small frag of acro.

Didnt like where it was, let go. Current probably carried to a dead spot somewhere in the tank.

True, I love the front chin/air ****. I soo wish the 99+ "R" type chin or splitter would fit my 97' one of these days I might buy it anyway and try to fab it in.

Nice looking. Is the shaker real? seems to be a lot of parts available for the 05+ body styles.
-
Heck with all that, where's a picture of the Rousch? ( older cobra costom owner here )
-
guess I will stop by and pick some up.

So I got the Hectors back to work with no probs. The little fish looks great. However, I have not been able to get him to eat anything.. Tried pellet, flake, cyclo, even your famous food. Now he is grazing on alagae a little (wish he would a litttle more, heh), and pretty much sifts sand all day. Not big mouthfulls like a diamond does but still. He doenst look skinny, but its just a little wierd. I know you said he was eating well. What do you guys use in your tanks?

you'll hate me for yet another "which bulb"?

Reeflux are getting a lot of good press as well. My opinion would probably be the full atinics and the 10k reeflux. The thing is without the full atinics you wont have much of a "sun up sundown" period most of us use. Although if you didnt care about that you could go with the 14k pheonix and the duals. I dont know that the 12k's will benefit you a whole lot with any MH set up. My .02$ -
I used some "paver sand" and some carib sand, but that stuff is expensive. The paver probably has silicate in it. I have had no issues with diatoms yet.... It been a few months. I think I roughly used 1 part crushed carib, 1 part paver sand, 1 part carib sand, 1/2 parts acryllic shreds; bound it all together with some Home depot concrete mix. Used paver sand as the molds. No issues with PH or Diatoms. I even have a few pounds of it in one of my 3 gals. No issues yet. That tank has kept better parameters than my other one with all LR.

I have actually had good success as of late in not skimming everyday. I have only been running the skimmer 3-4 days a week. I have been doing any dosing etc.. on the days I am not skimming. Some think the big skimmers take everything, even the beneficial stuff out of the water. I only have a 20g with 2 fish not much to skim anyway and no skimmers on either of my picos.

I hear great things about the 14k Pheonixs'. With all that atinic it will be "blue" some of us like that though. 10k's are too white for me, although you MIGHT get a little more growth out of the 10k vs 14k. -
I made my rocks and only cured them for about a week with daily water changes. Have had no problems with PH. If anything they have buffered the tank a little. only about 5lbs out of 25 or so in the tank though.

Yea I got anthelia going nuts too
-
I will give it a shot. Not sure how to "pull the stuff off". I could cut it, but it will just grow back. glasses10.gif Maybe I should let it get all the way to the top and move everything out of its way on up there. Thanks

I have had some xenia in my 20 for 6 months. It is all of a sudden, starting to grow and now travel all over in my tank. Any idea how to keep it put, if poss. It kind of seems it is trying to move inot the highest rate of flow, one is even starting to get pulled into a powerhead Guess thats why most consider it a weed. I have one encroaching on a acro. you would think it would be getting stung by the acro, but nope.

Welcome fellow nanoer. I have seen you on the boards in nano-reef. Glad to see your local here.
-
Thanks John for all your effort and food. Was a great meeting.

Never seen a needle wheel pump sold i guess.
-
Hey Ace, I would be curious how did you put a needle wheel into the project? Where does one get one of those things heh.
