BJK2 Posted July 17, 2007 Author Share Posted July 17, 2007 I called Oceanic. They are mailing me a new ballast, probably what is wrong with yours too. Call them and tell them what happened, don't say your modded, and say you just bought it. Can't wait for sharky's tonight. Sir Taggle: nano-reefing has a set schedule of maintenece on sunday afternoon no more, no less! ladies / school come first forsure Link to comment
BJK2 Posted July 18, 2007 Author Share Posted July 18, 2007 spent some dough at sharky's today. I picked up some zoa frags, palm tree coral, frogspawn, and a pipefish. I am thinking the pipefish has a 50% chance of survival, looks alright but is pretty shy and not the best swimmer. Link to comment
BigByrd Posted July 22, 2007 Share Posted July 22, 2007 wow its startin to look awesome....pipefish looks nice and happy too. where are those zoas you got that i like? Link to comment
MeleeRock Posted July 22, 2007 Share Posted July 22, 2007 BJK2 - awesome tank. I am getting a pre-established 14 BioCube in a few days and had a question if you dont mind. You said you switched out the stock pump with a MaxiJet1200, do you think if adding a Koralia 1 to the display would be too much flow or even necessary for softies? The reason I ask is because the tank I am getting has a MJ1200 that replaced the pump and I was looking to get Koralia 1 for a more alternative flow. If the Koralia in your opinion is too much do you think capping the MJ1200 with a HydorFlo rotating deflector would provide good flow? Thanks a lot man. Good luck with the tank, ill be watching the posts Bryan Link to comment
c est ma Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 Ooooh! The whole looks great, you've got some very nice zoas and other cnidarians, and that fish is just awesome! --Diane Link to comment

BJK2 Posted July 23, 2007 Author Share Posted July 23, 2007 Pipefish: Sunset Zoas bigbyrd has dibs on a frag of these babies: Picture doesn't do it justice at all! Link to comment
LostinWater Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 Tank looks great. I hope to have mine looking close to that after a while. I have a BC 29, still getting things in place for it but it's up and running. Your coral looks great. Kind of a small (slightly dumb) question. The frags you have there, the bases that they are on, so you just leave them there on those bases and grow or do you try and remove them after they start to really grow? Anyways, keep it up, looks awesome. Link to comment
MDeth Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 ....sharky's.... They have a guy that cultures them. They get them almost weekly! Get me a bottle and mail it...I'll paypal you Link to comment
BJK2 Posted July 24, 2007 Author Share Posted July 24, 2007 Thanks lostinwater!! that is awsome! basically this tank is flourishing on its own, and yah the frags are ultra small and will grow. i am going to remove them from the square bases soon. bigbyrd didn't take his off yet so i'mjust holdin out till he thinks it's safe. I need some more rubble to glue them on as well. (I use normal superglue, as it hardens underwater.) mdeth: it took 45 min to get there hahaha,im close to DLC though Link to comment
BJK2 Posted July 24, 2007 Author Share Posted July 24, 2007 Cloudy FTS after 4.5 gallon Water Change: String fishing animal: And my real question: Is it safe to add old sea plants to my tank? I found them in florida covered in coraline washed up on shore. I have seen similar branches in seahorse tanks and was curious about adding a small branch to my tank just for kicks.. I think if it came from the ocean it should be safe? driftwood isn't bad in freshwater so what do you all think? Link to comment
BigByrd Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 im sure it'd be fine besides the fact that its not alive....just get yourself a sea fan or something...sharkys usually gets em in..like nice bright orange or purple Link to comment
BJK2 Posted July 24, 2007 Author Share Posted July 24, 2007 I'll think about the live one, for now i'm gonna try this. Link to comment
BigByrd Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 well ok mr. attitude...sheesh Link to comment
MDeth Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 Oh, thats right....now who was like 2min from sharky's? I need pods Link to comment
BJK2 Posted July 24, 2007 Author Share Posted July 24, 2007 I think it was grandegixxer who is like 5 min away from them? I just called Tropiquatics and they sell bottles of copepods for $20.99 with thousands in them. I am going to buy a bottle tomorrow or the next day and see how that goes. I am thinking about setting up my 2.5 gallon as a pod breeding area with some cheato, airstone, lr, and old water from my w/c... im off to build something out of bioballs.. they are like round legos.. nuts! nvm not as solid as legos keep rolling away and breaking. lame Link to comment
