reefone Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 looks good so far. r u the one that was asking about doing the upgrade the other day? if so how did it go? Link to comment
alexmurovec Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 BEASTAAAAA is that from that king kong song by jibbs & chamillionare? Oh, by the way, the screw in bulbs give a very nice spectrum. at first i thought it would be pretty yellow, but they actually look really really good. great work. Link to comment
Diskusting Posted May 9, 2007 Author Share Posted May 9, 2007 looks good so far.r u the one that was asking about doing the upgrade the other day? if so how did it go? Yeah I was. Umm it was really hard and annoying because I had only one bucket. And thats to mix the new water, hold the 5.5 water and the live rock. It was such a pain but the fish made it the snails/crabs made it and it seems to be fine. It took a while for the water to clear though. It was a success though. BEASTAAAAA is that from that king kong song by jibbs & chamillionare? Oh, by the way, the screw in bulbs give a very nice spectrum. at first i thought it would be pretty yellow, but they actually look really really good. great work. Ya its from king kong song, but I hate jibbs. Right now those pics are of the tank with just 40w cause the 3rd bulb hasnt come yet. Heres a pic of the tank the day after upgrade.

RBuddha Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 Does that mean the 5.5 will no longer be "up in mah grill"? Link to comment
Matty1124 Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 wheres the coral man? looks good you should make that old 5.5g a fuge now... all you need is a pump and an overflow box... tanks are never complete, are they? hahaha EDIT: where are in OHIO are you? Link to comment

I'll proboly get corals on the 1 month marker. Dont want to be too soon. I was in Parma but now im in Akron. Do you know of any good reef stores in the cleveland or akron area? Link to comment
yankeereefer Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 Get yourself another bucket so you're ready to move that 10g in to the 20/29g Nice rockwork YR Link to comment
willieb18 Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 I used 4 of the screw in lights on my old 10 gallon and they worked great. Saved a lot of money going that way too. Link to comment
Diskusting Posted May 10, 2007 Author Share Posted May 10, 2007 Re aquascaped. I think it will be better for when i get corals. Link to comment
Diskusting Posted May 20, 2007 Author Share Posted May 20, 2007 Update: Yes another ReAquascape. This is the last one I promise. I wanted to go for the trench look because it looks more natural and I will have more room to put my corals. No diatoms really except a little in the Refugium. Is this common? Bad? I ordered some frags from seacrop also they will come friday the 25th. Green Centered Zoanthid Orange Centered Zoanthid Blue Centered Zoanthid Orange Zoanthid with Bright Green Skirt Chocalate Pumpkin Zoanthid (F1) Green Star Polyp Green Pipe organ Green Galaxia Orange Green Bullseye Mushroom And one last question. Can someone ID this green thing? Link to comment
Diskusting Posted May 25, 2007 Author Share Posted May 25, 2007 Update: Frags Added I added the frags that I posted that I ordered above. They are extremely small though I hope they get bigger. Is there anything that wont add phosphates that will speed up the process? I still dont know what that green thing is. Link to comment
Mudfish Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 still dont know what that green thing is. [/color] The green thing is Neomeris, a calcareous algae that grows from the live rock. Very seldom invasive; very seldom a problem. Common name = "Merman's Finger", which I think is a way cool name. Link to comment
Diskusting Posted May 25, 2007 Author Share Posted May 25, 2007 More pics of the frags since they are hard to see in the FTS. Sorry I dont know how to work my powershot pics arent so tasty. What can I feed these guys to speed up their growth? Link to comment
Diskusting Posted May 27, 2007 Author Share Posted May 27, 2007 What is that blue stuff to the right of the zoanthids. Are they baby mushrooms or some kind of Macro. A clearer FTS Link to comment
avalanche1201 Posted May 27, 2007 Share Posted May 27, 2007 looken real good...those are some nice frags you got...I dont know how to speed the growth up....but I love this aquascape Link to comment
Diskusting Posted June 6, 2007 Author Share Posted June 6, 2007 I found some bubble algae on my favorite rock today. I know if you pop the bubbles it releases spores so I didnt do this. It wasnt much so what did I do other then cut the part it was on off the rock. I hope I dont find any anywhere else. Link to comment
