Tigahboy Posted November 16, 2005 Author Share Posted November 16, 2005 There is no adjective in existence that will even come close to doing that video justice. I'm in awe. really? it doesn't even have cool music or flashy video editing. thanks tho! =) my corals saw the video, flipped me off, and skipped town. expect them at your door. haha. i'll give them a good home.

I just put it in there to demonstrate the wave action...but it makes the pico look more natural. Link to comment
minimalist Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 My vote is that you remove it. Link to comment

ZooGirl Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 That's a GREAT pic! He scares me. Aren't you afraid he will get out and kill you in your sleep? Link to comment
Snoop Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 If you want a nice small algea get some dragons breath its easy to trim and worth a little $$$$. Link to comment
Ann Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 What a fantastic shot! You're not only an inspired pico designer but a master photographer aswell. I just love the video footage. I'm not sure that I could live with the bubbles but I bet the livestock is going to LOVE the flow. Best regards Ann Link to comment
Farrah Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 That's an awesome little tank, Tigah! And one helluva mantis too Link to comment
icenine Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 Scary mantis, very pretty .....but scary. Link to comment
Reefgeek Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 I think your mantis should fight my mantis Link to comment
jmorris Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 I'm not as impressed Is I thought I'd be... j/k. Well done, and kudos on your successfull design. As for the macro, leave it untill it begins to die off (which turtlegrass almost always does), then remove it hastefuly, before it can polute the tank. Link to comment
Nednai Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 The pico surges [switchin between low and high "tide"/flow] about 2-3 times per minute. What positive outcome are you attempting to achieve with the surge device? Link to comment
scarf_ace1981 Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 looking good. can't wait to see a shot of the whole tank w/ mantis. good thing your tank isn't glass. Link to comment
Tony Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 Looks great and super cleen design/construction. Link to comment
Cesar Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 another pic of my mantis... Dude the color on that Mantis is insane. Damn it's nice. Link to comment
qualudethunder Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 Any worries about that mantis makin its way out of the tank? Looks like it could easily get out. Just wondering. Macro looks great in that tank btw... All your other tanks are so clean why not let this one get a little dirty and more natural? Link to comment
SLOreefer Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 that is pretty cool tigah...good job. what pump are you using for that? is it a quet one? i know you used those on a few other tanks...how do you like them? have any problems? Link to comment
Tigahboy Posted November 16, 2005 Author Share Posted November 16, 2005 thanks for the compliments, folks! SLO - Yeah, it's the Quiet One 1200. I just use em since I can get them for pretty cheap and one of the few pumps in lower gph range that can be used external. Haven't had any probs w/ them, but they aren't as "quiet" as the name implies. Nednai - Shooting for more random turbulent flow - in an attempt to have conditions more similar to the ocean than having constant flow output from a powerhead. In theory more beneficial for corals and livestock. Here's an FTS: Link to comment
deacon hemp Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 Looks sweet tigah,i was going to try a CSD on my first design and then scrapped it for the toilet flusher,my question is how loud is it? Link to comment
