Weetabix7 Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 You DID get a nice colony of those blowpop zoas, good going! Things are looking good. I may get my little windowsill vase pico started soon, even without the heater, we'll see. I figure I can at least put sand, water, LR, and the pico HOB on it. Link to comment
Ocho Cinco Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 How did you caych those Blennys and do you know what kind they are? I'm from Michigan, we don't have that kind of stuff!!!!! Link to comment
Nick's Reef Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 How did you caych those Blennys and do you know what kind they are? I'm from Michigan, we don't have that kind of stuff!!!!! i'm pretty sure they're molly millers. We had a dip net with us and we were walking around the sand bar and saw that there was a channel marker on the edge of it. We took the dip net and swept around the base of the pillings and we just so happened to scoop up the blennies. Link to comment

Yeah i got a decent deal on them and they have been growing like crazy! my pico gets really hot in the day with that stupid little pump on there and the lguht but if i put a small fan on it it gets cold! i just cant figure out what to do! How did you caych those Blennys and do you know what kind they are? I'm from Michigan, we don't have that kind of stuff!!!!! Yeah as Nick's Reef said, i think they are molly miller blennies. We had actually gotten 7 blennies but i only wanted two. Well i got some real nice pics of my chalk bass and he is now completely out in the open but he is still getting used to things. I should have the pics up by tomorrow at about 5pm or so. Link to comment
Ocho Cinco Posted March 17, 2008 Share Posted March 17, 2008 I've used a dip net like that to catch minnows to use for bait here in MI. Link to comment

Ocho Cinco Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 WOW! It's looking sweet. If I can add one tip...NEEDS MORE COLOR!!!! Link to comment
lilredneckman Posted March 20, 2008 Author Share Posted March 20, 2008 WOW! It's looking sweet. If I can add one tip...NEEDS MORE COLOR!!!! EXACTLY! What should i add? Everything is ALOT brighter in person but my camera takes crappy pics and so do I. I am thinking about some kind of zoa colony but i really dont have the money. Link to comment

I am thinking about some kind of zoa colony but i really dont have the money. A zoa colony is always nice. A frogspawn or a hammer like I have is easy and usually pretty cheap. It's hard to say, there's so much with color. I'm horrible with the camera too. I think my halide lights everything up. Oh yeah, how did you make that think in your sig? Link to comment

I took pics from my tank and and uploaded them into paint and copied sections out from the middles and then i copied the sections i took out of the original pic on to another paint and did it a few times to the other pics and then i uploaded them into photoshop and made it so there wasn't the white background thing.... geeze i am not good at explaining........ I made it so my pics linked together were the only part of the picture. Does this sound right? It took me a few hours because i diddnt know what i was doing but if you need help i may be able to help you or i could just do it for you. Link to comment
Ocho Cinco Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 Wow! You just lost me. I just noticed a lot of people have them. Did the people who have their name on the pics in the box do it the same way? Link to comment
lilredneckman Posted March 20, 2008 Author Share Posted March 20, 2008 I wish i new how to put my name on there but i just dont remember. I can make one for you if you can get me some pics. Link to comment
StevieT Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 how is that new salt working out? Link to comment
lilredneckman Posted March 20, 2008 Author Share Posted March 20, 2008 how is that new salt working out? I don't know yet. I will be doing my water change tonight or tomorrow so i will let you know if i see anything different. Link to comment
StevieT Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 Cool. I don't know if you answered this before but what are you switching from? Link to comment
Ocho Cinco Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 I wish i new how to put my name on there but i just dont remember. I can make one for you if you can get me some pics. Thanks, but it's not really a big deal. Link to comment
Ocho Cinco Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 I'm interested to know what kind of salt you are using too. Iv'e always used IO but once I'm done with this box I;m gonna use the reef crystals. Any thoughts? Link to comment
lilredneckman Posted March 21, 2008 Author Share Posted March 21, 2008 Well i am switching from the dreaded IO!!! So i am switching to Red Sea coral Pro because i have heard good things about it. As for reef crystals i don't know too much about salts. Why not switch to red sea? Link to comment
Ocho Cinco Posted March 21, 2008 Share Posted March 21, 2008 I don't know. I've herd that io reef crystals is good. It has a lot of trace elements, calicum and more. With that you don't have to supplement. Let me know how yours goes. i've never had a prob with reg io but figured I'd try something different. Link to comment

Ok, i am going to do my WC today so well see if theres any results. I have never had any problems with IO either but i want to have good calcium levels so i don't have to dose because i really don't want to. Link to comment
