Markushka Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 sorry to hear about the YWG And to answer your question jgalvin, air exposure [for a short period of time] is not harmful to the rock and most sps, lps and softies. It is bad [not terrible but better avoided] for most nems tho. A lot of corals are exposed at low tide in their natural environment. My LFS owner once told me that a local built a tidal system where the tank was drained into the sump daily or twice daily. I have not seen this set-up my self but i guess something like that could be done. I also do not know what he is keeping etc. but I digress... [/hijack] Link to comment
redkneecoral Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 I think we all in the beginning worries of messing something up. I know I did lol Bruce, I'm from outside of Philly, in Chester Link to comment
jgalvin Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 thanks much for the answers and great to hear! With the solana being 20inches tall i was hoping to stack some more rocks to give it more height. yep, i really don't want to do anything wrong that kills off anything. - James sorry to hear about the YWG And to answer your question jgalvin, air exposure [for a short period of time] is not harmful to the rock and most sps, lps and softies.

dutch27 Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 Looks good man! The 'scape is well done. Do you have anything adding flow in that little area behind the false wall and the rocks? Or do you find that nothing really collects back there? Link to comment
bruce922 Posted March 15, 2010 Author Share Posted March 15, 2010 Looks good man! The 'scape is well done. Do you have anything adding flow in that little area behind the false wall and the rocks? Or do you find that nothing really collects back there? I thought about that actually. But it seems like the flow all around the tank is good. If I look closely at the sand in all spots of the tank I can see little particles swishing and swirling around. So I think my flow is pretty good in all spots of the tank. Bruce Link to comment
bruce922 Posted August 1, 2010 Author Share Posted August 1, 2010 No new updates. I have been busy with work and school and really have not had much time to dedicate to my tank. If I get any new additions or take any new pictures I will make sure I post them. Link to comment

Markushka Posted April 18, 2011 Share Posted April 18, 2011 Looking good man, i'm thinking of adding a dwarf angel to my tank and i"m torn as to which to add, there are so many cool ones! coral beauties are among my top choices though, I guess it'll come down to how much money I have.

Playapixie Posted December 8, 2011 Share Posted December 8, 2011 How's it going with the BTA? I'm *this* close to adding one to my Solana, but reading a lot and have a few reservations. Are you afraid of yours outgrowing your Solana? Link to comment
