Infinitereef Posted December 14, 2014 Author Share Posted December 14, 2014 That's a BRS jug: http://www.bulkreefsupply.com/space-saver-jug-thin-4-liter-1-05-gallon.html Thanks I knew I ordered it from one of the websites. Hopefully by next week I can get some frags from some local suppliers and get them going I cant wait!!! Link to comment
frankdr Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 Alright. Im just waiting for a nitrite spike when i tested the color had a tint of purple lightly though from the api kit shouldnt it be higher? It was between 0-0.25ppm. I've done three tanks. One spent a long time at each phase (3 or 4 days) before moving to the next with high levels and others didn't. It seemed to be related to the contents. The one that took forever had no sand and a very small amount of rock at first. Less surfaces for bacteria and collect on. Following your thread. I've got a Nuvo 8 also - it's very popular around here and folks have done some amazing stuff with them. Link to comment

Infinitereef Posted December 15, 2014 Author Share Posted December 15, 2014 I was bored so i just took a picture with the bulb on 100%. Link to comment
Infinitereef Posted December 17, 2014 Author Share Posted December 17, 2014 What do you guys think? Systems all hot and ready to go? Link to comment
seabass Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Parameters look good. Link to comment
Infinitereef Posted December 17, 2014 Author Share Posted December 17, 2014 Nitrates were high a few days ago and i did that water change and now this is what i ended up with results. Yeah i also thought everything looks good. So im starting my light schedule and going to give it a shot with some frags this weekend maybe. Any recommendations on a cuc? I was thinking 2 turbos 1 astrea 2 hermits? Link to comment
Pinner Reef Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Skip the Turbos, they will cause havoc in a lil tank like that. I'd say five snails (Nerite and or Astrea) a a few hermits. Link to comment
seabass Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Some of my favorites; for an 8 gallon tank: Herbivores: a couple of Trochus snails Carnivores: a couple of Nassarius snails Omnivores: a couple of Cerith snails, and a Blue Leg Hermit crab Link to comment

Infinitereef Posted December 21, 2014 Author Share Posted December 21, 2014 The palys are doing great! Looks like 2 mature heads and 2 babies behind them As for the orange bam bams they are taking a little longer. 1 was almost fully opened another was starting to open up and the other 2 are closed yet. Now im going to see how they do for the next 2 weeks. Link to comment
Infinitereef Posted December 22, 2014 Author Share Posted December 22, 2014 What do you guys think. They are all fully open and looking healthy. This Picture compared to the other shows the difference. Link to comment
