Bobby417919 Posted December 12, 2011 Share Posted December 12, 2011 Looks good! I would add a back gound and some more liverock before you move the fish and coral to the new tank. What kind of light are you running? Quote Link to comment
TheKleinReef Posted December 12, 2011 Author Share Posted December 12, 2011 Looks good!I would add a back ground and some more live rock before you move the fish and coral to the new tank. What kind of light are you running? the back is in the mail (: and i'm about 4 weeks away from moving anything into this tank. I literally just started. The local fish store was closed today so i couldn't get live rock. i'll be cycling with live rock tomorrow. and i'm going to get some cheato for the refugium. as for lights i have custom made LEDs from a private vendor that works for a private LFS. High out put 18 bulb LEDs 1 10K white, 1 460nm blue not sure on the wattage i'll get back to you. Quote Link to comment
TheKleinReef Posted December 14, 2011 Author Share Posted December 14, 2011 ADDED this week to the 29: macro algae, 20lbs of live rock, 2 fire fish, 1 hitchhiker mithrax, and 1 hitch hiker plate coral Quote Link to comment

TheKleinReef Posted January 12, 2012 Author Share Posted January 12, 2012 (edited) Here's what my tank looks like only 3 weeks later! cool huh? My newest additions: corals: Yellow Star Polyps Zoanthids White Acropora Inverts: 19 year old blue maxima clam Corals I want: more SPS ( acropora echinatas) elegance coral Changes: 1. no filter sock 2. 2 new LED strips ( total of 4 18 bulb strips 2 10K white, 2 460nm blue) questions: does anyone have any experience with "reef snow" does it work, and is it worth it? enjoy (: youtube channel: youtube.com/user/TheKleinReef Edited January 12, 2012 by TheKleinReef Quote Link to comment
TheKleinReef Posted February 2, 2012 Author Share Posted February 2, 2012 (edited) Hey Guys it's week 6 and here's some new stuff! One of my clowns is hosting my torch coral frag: The other is hosting my Xenia Rock: Here's Sheldon, my blue maxima clam, i've had it for bout 3 weeks now and he's loving it! Just recently I got ANOTHER maxima clam, i am amazed by these creatures. This ones less bright with some grey on it: Bad News: I lost 3 out of my 4 firefish. I have a healthy tank that is super stable. I think i have some sort of predatory crab that is hunting them while they are sleeping in the rocks. I'm concerned for my clown-fish now. They're not a fancy breed, but i've become attached to them, and i don't want anything to happen to them. :/ My guess is that i have some sort of hitch hiker predatory crab like a mithrax. I've read that they will nab sleeping fish in the rocks and i think that is what happened. Solution: I tried some techniques to catch it such as leaning a clear glass against the rock and putting some shrimp in the bottom, but i amways end up catching my clan up crew hermits. :/ Advice would be apprepciated. Lastly, I thought you guys would enjoy this picture: (: i know i do. Edited February 2, 2012 by TheKleinReef 1 Quote Link to comment

Bakenn Posted March 5, 2012 Share Posted March 5, 2012 (edited) I LOVE your tank! Nice clams and nice torch coral, those are what I hope to eventually have in my tank once I get it running. I'm still in the process of reading forums to gain as much info as I can before I start, I'll probably do a 29 gallon as well =D! EDIT: BTW what kind of lighting are you running? Do you think an Aquatic Life T5HO 30" would be good lighting for those awesome clams you have? This is the one: http://www.drsfostersmith.com/product/prod...mp;pcatid=21460 Edited March 5, 2012 by Bakenn Quote Link to comment

This is the one: http://www.drsfostersmith.com/product/prod...mp;pcatid=21460 i actually have 4 18w led strips on this tank. 2 10k and 2 460nm. they're from epistar. here they are: if you want your clams on the bottom, you may need a tad more light. if that's not an option just more the clams up to where you would put sps. it'll attach to the rocks with fibers that come from its foot.

TheKleinReef Posted March 6, 2012 Author Share Posted March 6, 2012 Awesome tank Roger. I love that green torch color and maxima clam!! thanks! due to the fact my clown is hosting my torch now, its stressed out. i'm going to need to separate them soon before something disastrous happens to my torch. it's never fully extend (like it is in my signature picture).
