JohnOTS Posted June 2, 2010 Author Share Posted June 2, 2010 Picked up more equipment today... I am tired of wondering what the phosphate levels are in my tanks so.... Link to comment
JohnOTS Posted June 6, 2010 Author Share Posted June 6, 2010 The transfer is complete! Everything is looking great, my leopard wrasse buried herself immediately once acclimated and put in the tank. I will be on edge until she comes out and eats... Mystery wrasse is loving it, exploring everything. I will be testing, testing, and testing for probably a month. I normally don’t rush things like this but other factors made me do it. pictures to come... Link to comment
Fratitude Posted June 6, 2010 Share Posted June 6, 2010 what did you use to mount your par38? I never got mine quite right.. nice set up too!!! Link to comment
JohnOTS Posted June 6, 2010 Author Share Posted June 6, 2010 what did you use to mount your par38? I never got mine quite right.. nice set up too!!! Thanks! That is the only thing I have not figured out yet. I plan on using my TEK T5 fixture plus the two par's. Thinking some kind of modified light tree. good stuff Thanks Bro Link to comment
JohnOTS Posted June 29, 2010 Author Share Posted June 29, 2010 Made the jump to the metal halides! Wow I love that shimmer! I sure hope the new light don't bleach anything out... Link to comment
cheryl jordan Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 What bulb did you go with. The tank looks really nice, nice diversity color wise. Link to comment
gimme Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 What bulb did you go with. The tank looks really nice, nice diversity color wise. it's a 20k hamilton IIRC Link to comment
nikeSB Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 ahhh i want a leopards wrasse so bad. the one i got never made it. i love yours Link to comment
JohnOTS Posted June 29, 2010 Author Share Posted June 29, 2010 What bulb did you go with. The tank looks really nice, nice diversity color wise. Thanks! So far I really like the hamilton 20K but I really don't have much to compare it to... ahhh i want a leopards wrasse so bad. the one i got never made it. i love yours Thanks! I just go lucky with this one, I have had her for almost 2 years. I have a close friend who has went through 5 and all died! I just added my third and final fish, a yellow corris wrasse. My leopard is beating up on the new corris pretty bad, I hope it makes it. It is really clear that my leopard runs the show! Link to comment

Clavius85 Posted June 30, 2010 Share Posted June 30, 2010 Very nice tank. Love all the corals. Link to comment
JohnOTS Posted June 30, 2010 Author Share Posted June 30, 2010 Very nice tank. Love all the corals. Thanks! as you can probably tell, some of my tank pictures look great and some just plainly suck! Whenever my pops comes to visit he brings me his SLR to take photos of the tank. The rest are taken with my simple point and shoot, which I have yet to master! Link to comment
JohnOTS Posted July 8, 2010 Author Share Posted July 8, 2010 Well, I officially DO NOT regret changing over to MH. I already see an improvement in coral color! My rose milli is starting to look like it should, same goes for my frogskin... Link to comment
Timanator Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 Are you using the Par38 lights as supplement still? Link to comment
JohnOTS Posted July 8, 2010 Author Share Posted July 8, 2010 Are you using the Par38 lights as supplement still? No I decide to go with a Hamilton Cebu Sun fixture. I am so glad I did, I love the look of the MH. And to top it off, I haven't noticed an increase in my tank temperature at all. Actually my tank ran hotter with my TEK T5 fixture, because it was open with no fans. Link to comment
tqpolo Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 What is that red brain on the left called? Link to comment
JohnOTS Posted August 18, 2010 Author Share Posted August 18, 2010 What is that red brain on the left called? Not to sure, I think it is just a lobo brain. It has probably doubled in size since I bought it. Link to comment
TheWeaz Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 Nice work with the upgrade. I recently just upgraded too! Loved the RSM but its nice to have a real tank now, eh? Link to comment
