REEFERBOY Posted June 10, 2011 Author Share Posted June 10, 2011 Hit up a really good fish/coral store n picked up some new goodies !!! not sure on all i.d's but will give it a try pics are about 45 mins after lights go on so things arent too open yet but most new goodies dont open anyways so enjoy !! got a new fish too a horse faced blenny it was called start with new fts from high angle acanastrea ??? $25 xenia had hoped it would be pulsing but now i think not some kind of chalice $25 some rics, 2 big ones beside eachother (one u cant see) and 3 little guys...frag was $30 a brain maze coral $20 and if you look just behind it you can see the blenny $25 better pic of maze birds nest coral $20....i dont think it will make it because the base of frag broke off and i had to touch it way too much to find somewhere for it and i think it will be stressed ...fingers crossed favite $25 and a glimpse on right of another brain maze coral $20 a shot of lower half of tank let me know what you people think and any advice would be great as i am fairly new to sps/lps (stoneys) Link to comment

REEFERBOY Posted June 14, 2011 Author Share Posted June 14, 2011 it seems like my new blenny dosen't want to eat fish food but wants to peck at rockwork, thing is there isnt really any algea for him to pick at....any tips as to what i should do?? maybe seaweed on clip?? Link to comment
Deleted User 4 Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 Reefer, nice blastos, you should put those up in the front where it's low waterflow, those will brighten up your fts. Link to comment
REEFERBOY Posted June 15, 2011 Author Share Posted June 15, 2011 thx they are doing really well...though i dont want to move them because they r doing so so well !!!!! i have moved some other corals around will post new fts on a bad note my gbta stung my sps n its dying fast so i broke off the tip that was dying...fingers crossed now Link to comment
REEFERBOY Posted June 22, 2011 Author Share Posted June 22, 2011 gonna move the blasts actually like you said 1$R, moved a couple of medium rocks on left of fts to allow me to move a few corals around where i think they will be happy/look good (a tough combination to acheive)....wandering anenome has cause some problems...its doing really well almost double in size since i bought it but im starting to wonder if the havoc caused from wandering stinging sessions is worth it...especially since my clown hosts my torch coral...will post pics tmrw of updated fts.

absolon Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 Looks realy good the colors pop even without Actinic light i would be inclinded to say it looks great without the Actinic light but then i cant help but wonder if its that nice without what would it look like with them. Link to comment

Thanks for the kind words thing is that i feel the pics dont show the truth of the colors and i use a cannon t2i xlr..... the anenome has of course moved oh well on another note tho i wouldnt mind if it was more blue myself, anyone have any ideas as to what i could add to gain that blue?? the bulb in my viper currently is 150w halide 20k ????

RedStang Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 Have you looked at any of the LED stunner strips? Should add some blue without adding any heat. Link to comment
adambreakey Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 I second the LED stunner strip option. BTW - tank looks great! I love the new additions, especially the brain maze. - Adam Link to comment

Sorry, can't remember if you still have the stock hood or not. If so, mounting should be fairly easy. If not, I'd need a pic of your lighting setup. Link to comment
