calvin Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 great setup!! where can I get one of those gorgs? Link to comment
Tentacles Posted December 23, 2006 Share Posted December 23, 2006 absolutely beautiful, how did the mag 9.5 or 12 decision turn out? Link to comment
formerly icyuodd/icyoud2 Posted December 23, 2006 Author Share Posted December 23, 2006 well calvin, if you were in canada, i'd sell ya a frag, but i dont think it would survive the boarder crossing. i got this one and many others from big al's. ask and i'm sure your local big als or lfs could have one ordered for you. absolutely beautiful, how did the mag 9.5 or 12 decision turn out? i went with the mag 9.5. it's was on the verge of overpowering my overflow when i only had the reef set up. now it supplies water to both tanks its perfect. just like my reply to your thread, i have a valve on the return line. instead of it being routed back to the sump the line goes to the horse tank. i can ajust the flow in both the top and bottom aquariums by simply opening or closing the valve.

formerly icyuodd/icyoud2 Posted January 8, 2007 Author Share Posted January 8, 2007 well i've purchased a few very cool corals for the system, and also picked up a pair of hi fin gobies since my last post. i've added $100 worth of zoas (the orange, the green and the blue) as well as a few others including my tounge coral. its looking fantastic if i do say so myself. enjoy Link to comment
AresDoggy Posted January 9, 2007 Share Posted January 9, 2007 That is really awesome. Hopefully, in a few years, I will have the experience (and confidence) to design, build, and keep healthy my own dream system. This whole thing is pretty damn inspirational if I must say so myself! Link to comment
jgreen Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 Another Shallow tank that inspires me that I can reach my dreams. There simply aren't enough shallow tanks out there. But, I'm loving what I'm seeing. Great work. If you have any recommendations in helping me build my tank, please post in my 24x24.5x8" thread. Thanks, Jgreen Link to comment
MVS Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 When I move to a permanent location will you be willing to setup my tank?...seriously...astonishing is all that comes to mind. Link to comment
FUGU!!! Posted January 12, 2007 Share Posted January 12, 2007 whats this coral called?: its very neet Link to comment
formerly icyuodd/icyoud2 Posted January 12, 2007 Author Share Posted January 12, 2007 well they go by many names, but it has to be the easiest gorgonian to care for. i've had this one over 2 years. corky finger coral, dead man's fingers,Sea Stalk Briareum etc etc http://liveaquaria.com/product/prod_displa...tid=609&N=0 http://www.etropicals.com/product/prod_dis...cfm?pcatid=1332 they come in purple also, but i'm having a hard time finding one Link to comment
thefuzyone Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 Wow, what a cool concept... very impressive!! Really love the mangrove. Link to comment
formerly icyuodd/icyoud2 Posted January 14, 2007 Author Share Posted January 14, 2007 not many peeps notice the mangrove. Link to comment
travisurfer Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 lol, i was just about to say that does it grow out of the hood? Link to comment
Dallassask Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 I have to say this is my favorite tank ever!!! Awsome stuff, really different with the sea fan and the gorgonian, i love this tank! Link to comment
clifford513 Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 Very nice Icy , and high fins are my fave! Link to comment
formerly icyuodd/icyoud2 Posted January 14, 2007 Author Share Posted January 14, 2007 lol, i was just about to say that does it grow out of the hood? its still short enough it fits in the canopy. the plan is, when it grows, i'll drop it down into the macro aquarium its 6" deeper, but also has an extra 4" above the aquarium. i'll prune it to keep it from out growing the bottom tank. kinda like a boshia. just for the record. its my favorite aquarium also. thanks for the kind words guys. tiny gobies rock cliff. i'd like to get a couple yashia's to complete the system.

clifford513 Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 Yeah, they do rock Mangroves are really slow growers, aren't they? Link to comment
CyCLOnE Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 Very Nice I like how you have out of the ordinary corals in your tank. Whats your lighting? (or did u mention it somewhere in this thread) Link to comment
formerly icyuodd/icyoud2 Posted January 14, 2007 Author Share Posted January 14, 2007 very slow, i've had that one for over a year. everytime it grows a new set of leaves, it loses a set. it spent most of its life in my sump, i'm hoping the halide will speed up the growth. Link to comment
clifford513 Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 Darn you Canadians! I have never seen a high finned in a lfs. I had to order the two I had previously. Now I have a ywg. I think he tries to keep the pistol frightened as I never get to see it like I did with the high finned Link to comment
