Than I will move it... Lol

I don't really have much to lose I guess. I got it for free.
I hope she stays put! It's in such a good spot.. But with RBTA it's just a matter of luck if they like the spot.

OMG NOT IN MY TANK!!!!!!!!!

Here is a pic of the RBTA after about three hours in my tank


new birdsnest


some acans

very nice! that rbta is really cute.

You only need a glass shield for double ended bulbs. Mogul based bulbs have a built in shield.

It was weird tho... I felt all dizzy from the light..? Not sure why? Maybe just the bright lights shining in my eyes

sounds like someone slipped you a mickey... ... >_>

Question guy and girls.

I have 4 fish right now. two clowns and a yashi goby and watchman goby.

My friend is taking down his tank and would give me his wrasse and royal grama.

Would that be fine in my tank? I know his royal gramma is very chill and the wrasse is not bad either.

What do you think?

What kind of wrasse? I'm a sucker for wrasses, but you have a pretty good mix of fish for a BC29 right now.

It's a 6 line wrasse.

I just want more fish out and about.. The gobies always hide.

Should be fine since the wrasse was added last, but you will want to check if it gets aggressive.

Took some shots of the acans today. Here they are!

Nice!

Thanks.

I love taking pics of them!

some of those are rainbows? Do you know the names of them? If you get to the point of fragging a rainbow (3-4 heads) I have an all pink/white acan that's pretty striking looking I'd love to trade you.

This isn't a great picture as it's too dark and it was in the process of eating. I'll take a better pic tomorrow when I update my tank.



p.s. what camera are you using?

Thanks Red!
and Yep they are rainbows. try and get a better pic of your acan. Im using a Olympus Stylus Tough 8000. I take most of my shots under water.

Some more eye candy lol
Acan actinic shots. here you go guys!

Jealous!

I made a pretty good mod to my Koralia 1. I basically made it small. I will get some pics within the next few days here.

My corals really like the new 250 watt MH. I'm still light aclimating the corals and have not noticed any bleaching or alage growth.

I'm due for an update on some pics here! Been so busy with school right now!

My tank is a year old now too!!!

Here is a quick photo


more coming.

very nice !

Thanks. More to come.. Just waiting on my camera to get fixed.

Hey Ando!

The tank is looking nice. Congrats on your BC Birthday!

Gracias! OOoo We had a party! hahaha.. Not really

Hey ando you got a great tank goin on here bro.i checked your tank out a while ago when you had t5s i think.The mh looks blazin.I got a quick question,do you have to run you ac in your house real cold to keep up with the heat off of that thing?or does the fan and open top take care of it?Also hows evaporation?Im trying to decide on t5s or just go with the metal halide for my 14 gallon biocube. Thanks alot Ando. Sick tank man def an insipration.

Thanks a lot Sarasotacube!

The house is usually at 79 or 80, we dont keep it cold at all. The ceiling fan running and the small fan I have blowing across the surface of the water seems like it keep the tank at a good temp. Sometimes if we open all the windows and run no ac the tank might get up to 84, If that happens I just close the windows and run the ac... But I usually dont have a problem. As far as evaporation, I would get an RO/DI bc the evaporation is pretty big. Let me know if you have any more questions

Thanks man.you got it goin on in that cube. im trying to get a beter camera b4 i start taking pictures for a thread. You have helped aot just by ur posts.keep up the sweet shots.I notice you take most of your pics underwater.that is sick.seems like a nice camera.Thats good you dont have to waste all the extra power on a chiller with that narly light. KEEP UP THE GOOD WERK BRO!ill be postin ya ando.

I was going to get a chiller and I thought I would have to when I first got the MH... BUt the tank seems good without one. Hopefully in a week or 2 I'll get some more updated underwater shots. The camera I was using crapped out so I had to send it back for repair.. Good thing for a 2 year warranty. lol

Nice Tank!!!!!!! How do you make signature pictures, like the one that says "Ando's 29 Biocube" ?

Thats good news bro. The mh looks sick. The underwater shots were ill too.gota love customer service tho. Did you ever fix your current nova extreme?im on the edege about just going to mh or staying with t5s.i like that fixture tho. Thanks for the help.oo and how did u make ur koralia 1 smaller i got one of those mammoth things in my display?i wasnt sure if u posted that or not. Keep it easy.

Current sent me 2 new bulbs but I have not been using the T5's since I have a MH above my tank. For the Koralia I basically took of the red piece that hold it onto the magnet and glued it onto the magnet.. It makes a little difference. Let me know If ur confused, but it's easy to do. I need my camera so I can take pics haha

Thanks man.Thats good current took care of ya. That sounds like a really good idea with the koralia.i was thinkin drill a hole in the back of the tank in the filter area. and put the red thing in there with a gromet or something.but that mean i couldnt move it if needed.ur idea def cuts down well on the size.i hate that huge suction cup in the display.Hope the tanks growin like crazy,which im sure it is. catch ya later ando

HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE!

Even tho I'm 1 day late... Pics should be coming soon.. My Camera got repared and now I just need to pick it up.

Some new shots

sick man glad to see u got the camera back in action.love the pink zoas.i might find me some of those.looking good ando that mh's pumpin out some growth.

Thanks Sarasota Cube.

Here are a few more pics I took tonight.. I have such a difficult time taking a FTS and getting the colors... Pictures do not get it.

One of the Acans I have


I really like this brain.. Got it from a buddy of mine.


Purple Milli.. This SPS has been growing very well!


A shot of some of my sps and other coral


I've had these zoas for over a year now... Wow are they spreading.



Brain, Acans down on the sand bed


The hermits are ALWAYS in this birdnest


A crappy FTS

I think this is my favorite acan I have

that acan has mad polyp extension - maybe it's just trying to tell you it wants to stretch out into my tank

Well maybe santa will bring you some? Or maybe some coal? hahaha

Looks Great Ando! Congrats on getting to the year mark

I'm gonna read back over your thread later to see what your set up is now, but I wanted to comment now on how awesome it looked.

Tank looks great, Ando!

Thanks guys!!

anyone have any ideas how I can get rid of the "red turf" alage? It's starting to grow everywhere!

anyone!!??

pull it by hand and restrict nutrient availability. what are your tank params?

Most of the algae is too short to pick with my hand. As for tank parms they are all up to par and normal. I feed the tank once a day sometimes every other day.

Well It's been two months since I've done a water change hahaha.... Man i gotta get back on it!

Also my nice birdnest has died completely and so have a nice colony of acans...

Re- aquascaped my tank. here are some pics... Not the best

nice looking tank what light do you have on it
