Thanks for posting the vid

Quite the comical fellow happy.gif

Not that I am one to complain, but the topic description is somewhat misleading.
I leave slightly disappointed and unsatisfied. wink.gif

I heard that the glass cover is a PITA but I still wanna get one because I wanna get a purple firefish. It's good that it only covers the front and not the chambers leaving room to stick a skimmer in

I've heard a lot about their great customer service from reading forums. Eddie is very quick in answering my email questions too.

I was wondering if you knew how often you'd have to change the T5 lights

Thanks alot im doing alot better now. I bought the leds from another reefer but you can buy them directly from reefgeek. Theres 24 leds in each fixture so total of 48. I totally recommend cad tanks. Theyre great and customer service is top notch.

The evaporation isnt that bad at all and i have the canopy on(prevent jawfish surfing) and the canopy doesnt cover the back chambers

If you get the ghl profilux light its only $300. The package i got not including the doser brand new would cost $552.

I wouldnt say its nescessary if you keep up with water changes but it definitely helps. But ive run a few tanks skimmerless for a while with no negative effects. Some corals actually prefer the water a bit "dirty"






Thanks lani happy.gif




Thanks alot

Between 12-18 months is recommended but from what ive read recently it may actually be even longer.

So i picked up some new additions this weekend. A helfrich firefish and an allens damsel. The allens damsel has to be the prettiest damsel ive ever seen and is the most peaceful of the damsels. He gets along great with the helfrich although my jawfish was pretty pissed about his arrival. They seem to be getting along better now

Well here a quick vid i took of them yesterday

the sound effects i edited in. It would be really cool if it did it on its own although it would get annoying since the thunderstorms are totally random(imagine a thunderstorm at 3 in the morning)

So quick update i had to reaquascape the tank because of the allens damsel. Last weekend he decided to go psychotic and kill my helfrich firefish. So i decided to take him out of the tank. Now anyone whos dealt with a problem damsel knows they are pretty smart and very difficult to catch. So i basically had to remove all of the rock to catch him which forced an impromptu aquascape. I plan to change it once more but ill leave it as is for a month or so. So lesson learned....never buy a damsel(regardless of the species) they turn into jerks eventually

Heres the new scape



twan
Glad you got him outta there, plus you will re'scape a million times.

he killed the firefish!!!! glad he is out. Awesome vids, im diggin the scape too. hehe another bedroom reefer! i have my BC8 (now with a 70 watt viper) 2 feet from my head when i sleep

The random thunderstorms (sometimes at 3am) can be a little annoying..lol

Killed the HF?? ohmy.gif mad.gif

That really stinks..... bad enough you were looking to sell it off and save the damsel.

Sowwy buddy.

Ah well, we live, learn and move forward. wink.gif

Can't wait to see the new addition. happy.gif
Rehype
I couldnt save him in time.But i may get another helfricht.But at this point im totally fascinated by my newest addition(way cooler than any firefish) and theres no damsel to bother him smile.gif

So i bought a used stevie t media basket.This one was actually designed for the red sea max but i needed something to use until stevie gets around to building mediabaskets for the 39 gallon cadlight. Theres carbon,chemipure elite,purigen, few pieces of live rock, and a couple of types of filter media.

No freakin' way!! I'm so gonna gank that guy from you, lol!! That's awesome though!! I've been recommended one of those for my tank if I ever wanted to do an eel. How much do they cost though and what's the requirements etc...?
Rehype
LOL...Not without a fight laugh.gif wink.gif The cost around $200 or so. They dont really have any special requirements other than peaceful tankmates and plenty of hiding spaces as well as a tight fitting canopy.
