Smity Posted July 13, 2012 Author Share Posted July 13, 2012 @thirdchild - The larger one in the group is that angry and a bully. The rest are tame. @revaltion - Long story short, I wanted a DSLR but the wife wanted a point and shoot... We decided on the Sony Alpha NEX C3 w/18-55 zoom lens. The best of both worlds, it does take some wonderful close up shots due to the SLR CMOS image sensor. Link to comment
Deleted User 3 Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 Well I was going to take some pictures today but I think I have a major issue... Looks like New Tank Syndrome For the past week the tank has been getting progressivally cloudier. I added chemipure to see if it would clean it out but it is just getting worse and just today I am missing 1 out 3 of the chromis. Broke apart the rockwork trying to find his dead body but still couldnt find him. I have a DIY net on top of the tank and there would be no way of jumping out I even checked around the tank and cant find anything. So this is the plan, I have my RODI unit filling up a 35 gallon container and tonight I am going to make some fresh saltwater and do a major water change during this major water change tomorrow I hope to find the decaying fish. Any advice would be helpful, for clean up crew all I have is 1 blue legged hermit and 3 large turbo snails. Maybe it took longer to cycle than you thought and screwed some stuff up =\. I got a strange spike in mine but I think it was because of a dead macro I had in there. Link to comment
Smity Posted July 13, 2012 Author Share Posted July 13, 2012 I figured out what happened during that issue. Biopellets created the cloud when they were first introduced and the fish went down the overflow and chewed up by the skimmer. * I actually have had to save 3 fish so far that have wandered to close to the overflow. All have survived down in the sump until I netted them and brought them back to the display. Lets just say they learned from there mistakes Link to comment

Smity Posted October 7, 2012 Author Share Posted October 7, 2012 Sorry Clowns started to host the nem! But for the past month I have been getting ready for a career change which will probably move me out of state so I have been selling the coral and just recently put the tank up for sale on a local forum. Im not out totally just for the time being until I move. Definitly will be a bigger and better tank when stuff gets situated. Thanks for everyones interest ill be back soon Link to comment

wesley42079 Posted October 8, 2012 Share Posted October 8, 2012 Nice setup. Too bad you are in the process of breaking it down. I really wanted to see your tank mature. Link to comment
