shan Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 Here are the first shots of my upgrade to a 34g Solana from my 12g nanocube. I took about 16lbs of live rock from the nano and added with it about 14lbs of cured live rock. and 40lbs of live sand My first big question is do you like the rock work?? And do i need more rock? I would like to have about 5-6 fish eventually. I currently have 2 Oscelarris Clowns. lots of Florida and haitian Ricordeas zoas: eagle eyes blues purple hornets nuclear greens rastas and a few various other zoas neon green clove polyps GSP Xenia on a clump of halimeda macro algae blue legged and scarlet hermits coral banded shrimp and nassarious snails I would like to add some acans, millepora, acropora I like the openess of the tank as of now, but im not sure if I need more rock for the bioload. ?? Im using a outer orbit 150w 10k, with 2-24w t5 pure actinics, and 2-24w t5 actinic+ Hopefully light should not be a problem. Link to comment

I have the outer orbit 150w 10k , with 4-32w actinics, absolutely love how it makes my tank look even if it does hang over the top by a few inches!! Will I go through the algae stages with this tank? I used live sand and cured live rock from my old tank and a few new pieces.?? sand was new though Link to comment

shan Posted September 26, 2009 Author Share Posted September 26, 2009 Amazing additions bro!!! thanks man!! Link to comment
shan Posted October 4, 2009 Author Share Posted October 4, 2009 A couple of new tank additions to show: My Bule Spotted Jawfish who has made a mess of my tank floor!!! LOL He has found a home under my acans. The second addition is the solid red acan in the background! Link to comment
shan Posted October 4, 2009 Author Share Posted October 4, 2009 I assume it wont hurt the acans for the jawfish to be burying under them?? Link to comment
matty0206 Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 Nice tank. Very nice additions! I dont think it will hurt them but it looks like the red one is covered in sand? If the acan heads are under sand for very long you will lose those heads. Link to comment
Audi0s Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 Wow the red makes a big difference, very noticeable. Id say that thered be no problem if the jaw is burying under them. They might be more prone to close since theyre getting knocked around a bit when he goes in and out of the burrow. And yea, keep sand out of the their mouths, they hate it...even if they use dirty words lol! Link to comment
shan Posted October 8, 2009 Author Share Posted October 8, 2009 Big Sigh! My brand new $120 blue spotted jawfish committed sushicide last night and popped out of the tank onto the hard cold floor!!! YES i was told they were jumpers and I had ordered the wood top to go on my solana, thats supposed to be in TOMORROW!!! Anyway, anyone who buys a Blue Spot, THEY DO JUMP!!!!! Link to comment
