Giga Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 Aww man, I'm 1" too high Good tip about the sandbed. The blasto is gonna be put on the same rock as the acan. Not sure where to place the candy cane though. But I think I like the hammer and torch on the sand, unless I find a good place for them. Only reason I say that if you you ever been diving on the reefs and seen shallow water reef and boomies-most coral is on the limestone and not the sand bed. It your tank so do what you like best!

jabeuy Posted October 23, 2014 Author Share Posted October 23, 2014 Since one of my clowns has ich, I've sadly decided to QT them both and go fallow for the recommended period. Sucks cause the tank was just set up, but if the tank will always have ich b/c of not doing this, it'll be on my mind for every new fish addition. In the meantime...that means I'll be going crazy with corals and other inverts! Link to comment
jabeuy Posted October 29, 2014 Author Share Posted October 29, 2014 Decided not to go fallow anymore, since my clown is all better. Ich would still be in the tank, but I figure even if I get rid of it, it can come back from taking a ride on corals and inverts. And settings up 2 QTs for fish and corals/inverts just doesn't seem feasible for me. And an update: - got a couple new acans, a frogspawn and goniopora. Link to comment

jabeuy Posted November 3, 2014 Author Share Posted November 3, 2014 Loving the scape and size of tank. I have same size rimless but drilled. Thanks! Do you have some sort of mesh top on yours? I wanna try a wrasse, but figure I need to cover up the top first. Link to comment
plainrt Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 Yeah I use a screen top. I'll leave off days when by tank etc. Link to comment
latteslave Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 very clean, simple lines. Great start! Link to comment
jabeuy Posted November 4, 2014 Author Share Posted November 4, 2014 Put in a Tunze 9004 skimmer. Still trying to tune it and get it all right. Hopefully it runs well and I can do biweekly water changes now instead of weekly Link to comment
Jackstone Posted November 6, 2014 Share Posted November 6, 2014 Very nice setup. Love the tank size. Do you have a link to that light? Looks just like a Razor. Link to comment

jabeuy Posted November 7, 2014 Author Share Posted November 7, 2014 Thanks. Those lights look pretty cool actually. Can I ask where you bought yours from?Straight from them! Went through alibaba to get in touch with a rep.But they sell the same lights branded differently depending on where you are. Search for LT Marine or OCReef Optimaxx. Link to comment
jabeuy Posted November 9, 2014 Author Share Posted November 9, 2014 Lost the fire shrimp. It molted cause I saw it's shell but could still locate him in the tank. But a few days later I saw a grab and nassarius snail feasting on it lol. I got a 6 line wrasse just today. Such a cool fish. It hides in the rock work, comes out and swims in the same path around corals and rock over and over haha. Link to comment
jabeuy Posted November 10, 2014 Author Share Posted November 10, 2014 New video I took last week: Anyone know what sort of settings to use on a Nikon V1? Some clips I took with my phone camera before, look just as good if not better lol. Link to comment
Red_Blenny Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 I love your dimensions and scaping. My dream tank is somewhere around 36"L X 18"W X 14"H to 36"L X 24"W X 14"H. Link to comment

jabeuy Posted November 17, 2014 Author Share Posted November 17, 2014 Some updates: Finally got a still picture of the 6-line wrasse Also got a 1.5-2" yellow tang. It's in QT right now. I know this tank is too small for a fully grown yellow tang, but I legitimately plan on setting up a bigger tank in another space in the near future. Link to comment
jabeuy Posted November 24, 2014 Author Share Posted November 24, 2014 I put the tang in, and it makes the tank look huge. Link to comment
ninjamyst Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 great tank! i saw this on Reef2Reef. Glad you are on here too. Link to comment
jabeuy Posted November 27, 2014 Author Share Posted November 27, 2014 Latest shot of the tank. Got a new phone, it shows the colors of the tank a lot truer. Link to comment
jabeuy Posted December 20, 2014 Author Share Posted December 20, 2014 Been getting some ugly brownish/reddish stuff on the sand. Not sure if it's just diatoms or cyano, hopefully not dinos. http://www.nano-reef.com/topic/354625-diatoms-or-dinos/ Also looking to get more flow in the display. Getting bad surface agitation on the opposite half of the tank from the wp10. A gyre would be nice, but it looks like it'll be a while before the smaller version comes out. Any suggestions on a more powerful pump? Maybe a Jebao rw8? Link to comment
pgrVII Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 I'm running an rw4 on a 40B aio and it's really nice. Link to comment
jabeuy Posted December 20, 2014 Author Share Posted December 20, 2014 I'm running an rw4 on a 40B aio and it's really nice. Are you running it on full blast? Right now my wp10 is on full, so I was thinking a dialed down rw8 would be better than maxing out an rw4. Link to comment
Sk8n Reefer Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 Latest shot of the tank. Got a new phone, it shows the colors of the tank a lot truer. Tanks looking good- nice shot from a phone? Link to comment
