15 + 5.5g sump??

HMM HMM HMM [\judge Smales from Caddy Shack]

Tank looks great Lani. That Halimeda looks awesome in your yuma garden. I think it adds some realism and greatly accents the yumas. Did you do that on purpose or did it just happen that way?

Great tank!!!

-Prof

Meh, I don't do sumps and there's nothing in particular I want to put in the tank right now.


Gracias! The halimeda just grew that way on its own.
I used to pull it out, but have been letting it grow.

Wow.. haven't been on here in a while.. tank is loooking gooood!

I'll plumb your sump for you.





Sorry. Couldn't resist.

Thanks, fell!


You'll drill my holes?

What did I just walk into? Wanted to see how your tank was doing - but looks like everything is good in here!

Did you just add that to your sig? lol

Kimmy should get herself some of the sexiness that is Australia on the Diver's Den right now...

Thanks, you guys.

Of course! Along with any other "tank maintenance" you might want done at the time.

I like the new photos. The macro of the ric is my favorite, but I'm partial to them.

Hey Lani was pondering on your bulb problem. I had the same issue going from the Current stock bulbs to ATI's They are very powerful.. and I had a lot of bleaching. I originally had 80watt PC's then bought a Bought Current SLR T5's and their stock bulbs brightened my colors big time. The I upgraded bulbs to ATI 2 - Blue+ (Not 12k specials) UVL 10k, and Fiji Purple. It bleached my acros, candycane and purple zoas. So I feel your pain. Colors did come back though after I ditched the UVL 10k and put in a UVL Super Actinic. How long have you had your coral under these bulbs. What are you runnin now? Are corals lookin better.

I'm runnin this now

Oh btw congrats on the promotion.. I leave for 6 months and you become a mod.. nice!!

I'm a little scatter brained right now, and don't remember which bulbs exactly. The corals are looking better than when I was using all 6 bulbs though. This weekend I'll try switching out the aquablue+ with a spare 6500K I have and see if that makes any difference at all. I may end up replacing the bulbs with the same configuration and cheapo bulbs I used in the Sundial over the 20H.


Thanks!

Nice to see you using the vertical composition more and more.

I like the photos a couple pages back, with the new lens. Interesting perspective.

Thanks, Jerbear.
And you meant horizontal, right?

Looks like a cactus garden, I likey!!!!!!!

wait - did I? I don't think so... weren't we talking before about how you never shoot portrait? Or was it always shoot portrait?

Grr, I need a drink, lol.

Haven't visited this thread in a while. Tanks is looking great!

Kinda early for that! But yeah, we talked about how I hardly ever shoot in the landscape format. I've been working on changing that.

Jamie - Thanks! I love that yellow/orange cerith. It was a baby hitcher in the 5.5gal when I set it up and it's grown so much.

"Pour me somethin' tall and strong
Make it a hurricane before I go insane
It's only half past twelve but I don't care
It's 5 O'clock somewhere"

Is this some kind of anemone? It's very nice.

Rhodactis sanctithomae aka St. Thomas Mushroom.

Spiffy.

I like that mushroom. Nice tank lani!

Wow! Your camera is awesome, that is one close-up shot.

hmm, my light is a simple 150w 20k mh. guess it shouldnt be too different from your super duper complex disco light party. bleh! j/k. i can't afford your lights. most probably i will stick with my old rusty halide.

just 1 more question, what is the temp like? Thanks again!

Ha! The lighting is giving me a headache though.
How's your tank doing, btw?

Temp stays right around 79F.

That halimeda is stunning!

Edit: Calcium and a damn good take make it happy

Great mix of color in your tank. Still looks great!

hee, well.. nobody ask you to put a myriad of mood lights over your tank! just kidding.

temp is my big issue, it's always summer here but this is the summerest period of the year, right now. so, yea, tank is have a rough time. everything is still alive but nothing spectacular going on. i have a chiller but i cant afford the electric bills. sad, i know.

Thanks, guys!
And ouchies, Duncan, hope things get better for the tank.

Paint your frag rack foo.

I need to place the blastos and then I'll take the rack out...... I'm just lazy.

95% of my tanks problems 2 months ago were due to exposed white eggcrate. Krylon Fusion is your friend, you taught me that.

I did?
What kind of problems was it causing?

Yeah I'm curious too. I'm getting ready to build a frag tank with white eggcrate...

I'm getting ready to build an entire rock support structure out of it. Joy of joys, I don't have access to Fusion here
