pgrVII Posted March 16, 2014 Author Share Posted March 16, 2014 I've also added a finnex titanium heater,removed my hood and put a light diffuser cover on top. I put a maxspect razor nano 16k on for lighting. Its running on this schedule. 7:00am-A.0 B.1% 9:00-A.35 B.55% 12pm-A.95 B.95% 5:00-A.45 B.60% 7:00-A.0 B.45% 8:30pm-0 B.0 at about 9:30pm I turn the blues on 1%. I've found my tank likes an hour or so of darkness before the moon comes out. Also my new aqua euro nano II skimmer is producing good skimmate after a few weeks,nice and dark. Link to comment
pgrVII Posted March 17, 2014 Author Share Posted March 17, 2014 The jebao has done a great job at cleaning the sand bed up,now it's back to a nice snowy white Also went to the Baltimore aquarium today ...always fun and awesome, although... My long tentacle anemone looks nicer than theirs. Link to comment
pgrVII Posted March 20, 2014 Author Share Posted March 20, 2014 Just bought a gbta from lawnman last night,def.stoked about receiving that Friday even was able to take off to do get it. Link to comment
pgrVII Posted March 22, 2014 Author Share Posted March 22, 2014 New gbta I got from lawnman. Came in great shape,packed very well,with heat pack. Darn thing was bubbly in bag. Settled quickly and my smaller clown is rubbing it after a short time. Link to comment
pgrVII Posted March 23, 2014 Author Share Posted March 23, 2014 More pics. Had to rearrange some coral due to the gbta moving around. Seems to be in the spot it likes now as shown in pics. Also it took a small offering of mysis shrimp. Link to comment
pgrVII Posted March 28, 2014 Author Share Posted March 28, 2014 Pics. The green bubble tip (courtesy of lawnman) picked a spot. A nice spot at that. Just some extras Link to comment
pgrVII Posted April 5, 2014 Author Share Posted April 5, 2014 New feather duster! Scored it for less than $5 at lfs. And a full tank shot. Enjoy. Link to comment
pgrVII Posted April 5, 2014 Author Share Posted April 5, 2014 So after 3 weeks of continuous use I have to say I am pleased with my jebao wp10 purchase. I run it on else mode with the dial on about 3:30 s2. Sand stays cleaner and flow reaches all over tank combined with the dual returns,one of which has a hydor deflector on it. The other a wide flare style just to give a bit of variance,may put the other deflector back on. Link to comment
Lawnman Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 Looking really good man the GBTA seems to really be happy. You should upload your pics to Photobucket so they are larger. Then copy and paste the IMG code right here and they will pop up. Following! Link to comment
pgrVII Posted April 5, 2014 Author Share Posted April 5, 2014 Yea I may just do that lawn. The new seems to like krill,I think I remember you saying you feed your nems that so figured I'd offer that as well as mysis soaked in marine snow . It readily takes that too just a bit more messy than a krill chunk. I've also started a few easy sps corals up top that seem to be growing well. Soon I'd like to add more zoas or palys to the little island I've started with radioactive dragons eye. Kinda like a touch of everything on the reef,although I don't have any lps...yet.

FlowerMama Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 I love your tank how it uses the left wall and cozies around the corner. Wow, the bta got big and my favorite pic was the clowns in the BTA in that gorgeous pic. I like the new bta addition too. It's not overdone, looks really good. Link to comment
pgrVII Posted May 19, 2014 Author Share Posted May 19, 2014 Thanks first time reefer! Its getting there the tanks a year old this month. Link to comment

Wow, the bta got big and my favorite pic was the clowns in the BTA in that gorgeous pic. I like the new bta addition too. It's not overdone, looks really good. Actually the pic of the clowns in the nem was my old long tentacle I had to remove it as it pretty much took over half of my cube,the GBTA you see in the later pics came courtesy of lawnman on here. Clowns haven't taken to it yet,they rub it sometimes but seem to like hanging in my big piece of leather coral in the front of the tank,not really using as a host but just hanging out in it.

FlowerMama Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 ha, the gbta must've "rubbed 'em the wrong way". Ha!!!!! Hope they take to it at some point for you. Link to comment
pgrVII Posted May 20, 2014 Author Share Posted May 20, 2014 Yea me too,but if not no worries. I don't think the bta is quite big enough for em yet,so I've been feeding it 3 times a week to get it bigger,they took about 3 months to take to my lta. Had to fatten that one up too. In the mean time least I got a pretty GBTA. Link to comment

pgrVII Posted May 20, 2014 Author Share Posted May 20, 2014 Yes yes all in due time cindyp. Either way you've made good use of your tank. Sexy shrimp are very cool. I can't keep shrimp the few I have kept were fed to my anemone by the clowns. Link to comment
