bradmtsu Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 nice tank! are you doing anything special to keep coralline algae from growing on the back wall or just cleaning it regularly? the tank looks soo much cleaner without coralline. Link to comment

Not too many issues there, one small patch, hasn't blown up yet, never any serious algae either unless I don't touch the tank for more than 7 days.... I get hard buildup (green or coraline) along the sandbed. Link to comment

BOMBreef Posted July 9, 2011 Share Posted July 9, 2011 lol u shut ur mouth you!!! hahahaha......dude i still cant believe i did that!! o well looking at a mr. aqua 25 g low iron! Ahha yeah I guess that's a good enough reason not to..... I want the Canon T3i so bad! Every time I walk into the camera shop it takes everything not to trade in my T1i. Check out the 50mm f1.8 I just picked one up and it takes awesome pics, and it's easy on the wallet. Link to comment

Ya my work buddies all have canons I just found out and I'll be samPling all sorts of lenses, the 50mm f/1.8 particularly. So time will tell, first, gotta learn the basics! Link to comment
SouthFlorida_Tron Posted July 11, 2011 Author Share Posted July 11, 2011 So did a bit of a re-scape...a minor one....the clam along with a few SPS needed to be adjusted out of flow. So I moved some stuff a bit, mainly moved froggy down to the sandbed, moved clam to the top (less flow) and turned the rock with the digitata & acro, my shrimp hung out where the acro is and would irritate it, (my theory anyways) but hopefully is will improve it's PE. This one is cloudy, new FTS when my new DSLR arrives Tuesday. Link to comment
Banjo Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 I'm going to end up doing exactly what you are. I have moved every one of my non-sps to the sand bed and I'm completely filling my rock work with acros I spend too much money on this hobby Link to comment
SouthFlorida_Tron Posted July 11, 2011 Author Share Posted July 11, 2011 Well they say hi flow corals but that's just water moving through the filters not actually blowing on em lol Link to comment
sean.e Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 what Camera were you using for the picture were taking before(in your old FTS's) Link to comment
SouthFlorida_Tron Posted July 11, 2011 Author Share Posted July 11, 2011 The one there now, an old nikon coolpix 5 megapixel, horribly old... Other than that, it's been iPhone hd shots. New shots tomorrow with my brand new DSLR! Link to comment
SouthFlorida_Tron Posted July 12, 2011 Author Share Posted July 12, 2011 Sooooooooo! huge update and bunch of teaser! my cube is now truly an SPS Legacy! Traded that huge rock with green/blue Ricordea, for 3 sweet SPS' 1) a Humungoid (that ive seen down here) colony of Pink/Green Bird's Nest 2) a Pink Mystery millipora 3) a bali green slimer, or some kind of millipora (i was told) on to the pix! again, forgive the iphone, they were just glued in, so very upset corals! & DRUMROLL......... rough idea of the new tank look.

Banjo Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 Encrusted! Those new frags are awesome and I love the new coral scape. Going to look badass once it all fills in. Link to comment
SouthFlorida_Tron Posted July 12, 2011 Author Share Posted July 12, 2011 It won't take long with the SOLs, 2 of my Frags have already grown over the plug, putty and onto the live rock, so ya, IM EXCITED! Of course real pics tomorrow! Link to comment
Banjo Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 Yeah I hear ya. They're beasts. Going to go overboard on pics tomorrow eh? Link to comment

SouthFlorida_Tron Posted July 12, 2011 Author Share Posted July 12, 2011 Rofl. You'll be uploading a ton! Ok maybe you're right lol! Here's a Milli teaser night time feeding Link to comment
Banjo Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 That's the coral you just got today? And it already has that good of PE? Wow lol Link to comment
rb1685 Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 Your tank looks great! I wish I could get mine to look as nice. By the way, that looked like an Asterina Starfish. Some species are harmful to SPS, I hear, but mine have been fine. They multiply by fission, so you'll see halves of them walking around. Kinda cool IMO. Link to comment
SouthFlorida_Tron Posted July 12, 2011 Author Share Posted July 12, 2011 Thx man. Ya I've been taking em out one by one, there's two I know of, missed it the other day. On another note, battery for new DSLR charging up! Pics later for sure! Link to comment
