dla Posted February 15, 2007 Author Share Posted February 15, 2007 Got two new frags today. A green w/purple ridge plate and a violet acro. I'm trying to make this tank look natural, what do yaw think? I don't plane on getting any more sps corals. I plan on letting the ones I got grow out, but I do want to find something to fill out that empty space on the right hand side of the tank. Any ideas? Link to comment
saltyd4wg Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 I think there is something wrong with the pictures- they don't enlarge when I click on them- otherwise I would give you some feedback edit- I am referring to the pics in post 28, the ones previously posted were fine Link to comment

Ebn Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 Thanks, Something called a reptile light fixture stand or something like that. It is used to hold the lamp over a reptile tank. Very cool. Found what you were referring to on Drs.Foster&Smith site. That monti cap is looking very nice. Link to comment

saltyd4wg Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 well one cheap way you can hide the wires- go to the fabric department at walmart and get a few yards of some dark material and drape it around the front and sides. I did that once with a fish stand I had that was open front and it really helped make it look better. You can use velcro or something to hold it in place- just an idea Link to comment

That way you wouldn't hide the stand. Link to comment

xmen0075 Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 Sorry about your loss. I know that the next time around you'll succeed. I love your set-up!!! Good luck! Link to comment
rubadakis Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 i feel sorry about your loss...chances are that the clam came in sick...or got sick becuase of a roguh shipping....i keep two croceas in a 12g aquapod and they are doing great under 70w metal halides (14k)...one is 5 inches and the second one is 3 inches...i add a few drops of phytoplankton once a week and try to mantain my calcium between 390-420...good luck and don't give up...once they get use to there new home they could thrive forever...remember to place them on top of a rock...or if you place them on the sand make sure there's a rock behind them...they grow a "foot" to attach themselves Link to comment
tinyreef Posted March 5, 2007 Share Posted March 5, 2007 what were you feeding it? how did it look as it was deteriorating? any weird readings or bothersome tankmates? sorry about the loss. btw how big was it? it looked like it was an inch or so. Link to comment
