+KimP Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 I like the colors on that! How are you liking the new lights? Has everything adjusted well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesL Posted May 31, 2013 Author Share Posted May 31, 2013 Lights are doing great, and everything adjusted well to them, no loses. I am at the tail end of a mini algae cycle due to the new lights, can't wait till it is done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robb in Austin Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 I think I need one of those in my OFFICE tank. We'll see if the lights I wind up with will support it. Tank is looking good James! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They had another one in the invert tanks ... and I took a gamble on coloring, as the invert tanks didn't have any "real" lighting on them like the coral ones.

JamesL Posted June 3, 2013 Author Share Posted June 3, 2013 The mini carpet keeps growing it seems... and I am surprised it has not moved yet. It is partially shaded, but seems content where it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesL Posted June 5, 2013 Author Share Posted June 5, 2013 Here are a few quick pics using my phone from the other day. I tell you this carpet keeps growing! My little clam from C4. Top-down of the mini carpet. Top down of some orange brain. Top down of my sympodium. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamesL Posted June 9, 2013 Author Share Posted June 9, 2013 Yay! Spotted my new Six Line Wrasse today, thought he was a goner. Glad he made it, as the poor folks at Fish Gallery went to a lot of trouble to catch him 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamesL Posted June 18, 2013 Author Share Posted June 18, 2013 My clam had been moving all over the sand bed since I had added it to the tank (small squamosa I got at C4). A week or so ago I tried putting it back into the rock work again. When I first got it, I had also tried this (which caused be to tear apart my rock work), and it was not happy as it kept flinging itself off the rock work. I was tryign to put it mid-tank level, directly under the lights. Well, this time I seem to have found a spot it likes, as it has been there for almost two weeks. It is as the back/top of the tank. Surprisingly, it is not the strongest light/flow, but it seems real happy there. Which of course is not the best viewing angle for me, but oh well, it is happy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamesL Posted June 21, 2013 Author Share Posted June 21, 2013 During dinner last night I looked over at the tank and saw it "snowing" ... and was wondering why. Upon looking closer, it was snowing fish scales. My little six line wrasse had decided to go into on my my powerheads when it was off and then got stuck when it turned on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamesL Posted June 21, 2013 Author Share Posted June 21, 2013 Oh no! I didn't know fish did that, sorry that happened I have some holes where the grating broke away on my powerheads, so that is how he got in there. I should look into getting replacement parts for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Mitch Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 Yeah, my lawnmower blenny started climbing into my mp40s when i have them shut down for maintenance or feeding So rather than risk it, i never power them down entirely and set it to 1% power for those times. Of course he's screwed when my power goes out and everything turns back on. Darwin! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just saw said six line zip through the tank when I was feeding today. I had saw him come out of the powerhead after the fish scale shredding incident, but he drifted below some rock work and I had assumed the clean up crew took care of him. But I guess not. That is one tough fish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
