chrisinator Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 Have had this Fluval Spec V for about 6 months (upgraded all the livestock to a 20G Long Reef), moved everything over and restarted this tank (with some live rock from previously, of course) and will be bringing it to college in the Fall. Stats: Tank: Fluval Spec V Heater: 50W Heater Pump: Stock (upgrading to Mini Jet 606) Lighting: Stock (upgrading to WavePoint) Substrate: Aragonite Sand with Live Rock Chambers: Filter Pad and Rock Rubble Fish: None [Add Clown Goby or Yasha/Pistol Pair] Corals: None [Add: Frags from larger reef] Inverts: 3 Blue Leg Hermits [Add: Shrimps & Tuxedo Urchin] *Have been extremely focused on my 20G reef that I haven't really put any stock in here except for the hermits. 6.12.14 http://s602.photobucket.com/user/WhatTheFunky/media/2014-06-12230421.jpg.html'> Link to comment
chrisinator Posted June 22, 2014 Author Share Posted June 22, 2014 Added a Yellow Clown Goby today... not sure if it'll be permanent or not http://s602.photobucket.com/user/WhatTheFunky/media/2014-06-21222545.jpg.html'> Link to comment

chrisinator Posted June 25, 2014 Author Share Posted June 25, 2014 What light you thinking about? Still looking around, debating using a WavePoint but maybe I'll end up getting a Par38W and making a stand for it Added this guy a few days ago, still a little skittish but doing well and he's beautiful http://s602.photobucket.com/user/WhatTheFunky/media/2014-06-21224537-1.jpg.html'> Link to comment

I'm thinking about getting a purple firefish for my tank too! Either that or a sixline I haven't decided yet. Link to comment

I'm thinking about getting a purple firefish for my tank too! Either that or a sixline I haven't decided yet. I think the Six Line will be a better choice as it seems to be more active, will likely add one to my 20G so I'll let you know probably in two weeks how they do. Will look into changing the light in about two weeks as well then start adding corals and what not Link to comment
chrisinator Posted July 22, 2014 Author Share Posted July 22, 2014 A lot more of the rocks are being covered by the Coraline Algae. This tank is fairing better than my larger 20 long reef which is in a deep diatom bloom. Added a Clown Goby and the Purple Fire Fish and will probably keep it to that for a while and just stock up on Corals. Link to comment
Mr. Microscope Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 Lots of room for corals with that scape. Well done. How's that clown goby doing? Have you gotten it to eat? Link to comment
chrisinator Posted July 22, 2014 Author Share Posted July 22, 2014 Lots of room for corals with that scape. Well done. How's that clown goby doing? Have you gotten it to eat? Yes! I'm just waiting for the paycheck to come in to load it up with corals. As for the Clown Goby, he is eating, but due to him being a percher, I sometimes spot feed him just so I know he's getting fed. But the firefish isn't too much of a competition to not allow the Goby to eat. Link to comment
chrisinator Posted August 3, 2014 Author Share Posted August 3, 2014 Does anyone have any experience with the Wavepoint LEDs that can be found on Amazon? Thinking about just getting the 6" or 12" version to light up my reef (bonus that I already have a gift card so it's cheaper). Link to comment
chrisinator Posted August 27, 2014 Author Share Posted August 27, 2014 I think instead of the wavepoint I'm gonna try the Finnex Fugeray Marine+ and see how that works out for a spec Link to comment
bdevillier19 Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 Don't do the wavepointe. Its a cheap light with blah color. I had one on my spec v and didn't like it at all. When I set mine up again it'll be either diy, a 12" buildmyled, or a nanobox. Link to comment
chrisinator Posted September 21, 2014 Author Share Posted September 21, 2014 Move some corals from my 20G Reef at home and brought it college. I think I'm gonna turn my reef at home more of an easy to care for reef with Zoas, Xenias, Mushrooms and maybe a few LPS. Here's some updated photos of my Spec though: http://s602.photobucket.com/user/WhatTheFunky/media/Mobile%20Uploads/4F237575-EAD8-4A10-B82F-4480171728AD.jpg.html'> http://s602.photobucket.com/user/WhatTheFunky/media/Mobile%20Uploads/DF4328C1-E9A9-43B4-B6BD-9F2070729171.jpg.html'> http://s602.photobucket.com/user/WhatTheFunky/media/Mobile%20Uploads/A7E05DDA-6C7C-4598-A85D-7B3E31555E66.jpg.html'> http://s602.photobucket.com/user/WhatTheFunky/media/Mobile%20Uploads/951D99A5-1F6B-4B5A-A9FD-DC919B032E66.jpg.html'> http://s602.photobucket.com/user/WhatTheFunky/media/Mobile%20Uploads/CD70DA25-55FB-4FF5-9C64-3A14FEEDE4A1.jpg.html'> http://s602.photobucket.com/user/WhatTheFunky/media/Mobile%20Uploads/0FA2E7F7-0BCE-4873-AEED-3ACA6B1DC09E.jpg.html'> http://s602.photobucket.com/user/WhatTheFunky/media/Mobile%20Uploads/D61CA273-5C25-477A-BDF5-6C10138A7F39.jpg.html'> Link to comment
