cal3v Posted July 3, 2003 Author Share Posted July 3, 2003 Sorry about the confusion guys. Link to comment
Brooklyn Johnny Posted July 3, 2003 Share Posted July 3, 2003 Looks great Cal... when I get my other tank up I'm definately gonna trade you something for a piece of that formosa. Keep up the work as one of the nano greats... Johnny Link to comment
cal3v Posted July 3, 2003 Author Share Posted July 3, 2003 Thanks Johnny. I like a lot of your corals/gorgonians. We can definitely set something up. Link to comment
Jahkaya Posted July 3, 2003 Share Posted July 3, 2003 Cal3v: Do you think that a 150 HQI 20k and 1 55w actinic would be too Blue? Link to comment
cal3v Posted July 3, 2003 Author Share Posted July 3, 2003 I think it might be a tad too blue, but moreover I'd suggest a 10k DE since with the 20k the growth really slows down. Link to comment
reefitis Posted July 3, 2003 Share Posted July 3, 2003 damn cal, looking good dude. looks like you have more room now ??? did u clear out some corals to make room for more anyhow, its true, tank looks a hundred times better in person. shoots braddah! Link to comment
cal3v Posted July 4, 2003 Author Share Posted July 4, 2003 Yea made more room for the colonies to grow out, and possibly add a few extra nice pieces. Link to comment
Fishtails Posted July 4, 2003 Share Posted July 4, 2003 Very nice tank:woot: How do you do it? I want to learn too... Do you happen to ever trade or sell some of those frags?: Link to comment
cal3v Posted July 4, 2003 Author Share Posted July 4, 2003 I just keep it very simple. Good flow, good lighting, water changes, a little carbon and phosguard, and I let the corals do the rest. Also testing regularly is good to do. Link to comment
cal3v Posted July 4, 2003 Author Share Posted July 4, 2003 BTW I regularly sell/trade frags. Link to comment
cal3v Posted July 4, 2003 Author Share Posted July 4, 2003 Hi guys I'm thinking of getting rid of the coraline on the glass. What do ya'll think? Link to comment
Brooklyn Johnny Posted July 4, 2003 Share Posted July 4, 2003 Hey Cal I am for trying to clear the glass as much as possible. The glass should go as unseen as possible, so that you think you are looking at a piece of the reef. I am all for keeping the tank as natural as possible, but the glass I keep as clean as I can. I'm for scraping... Link to comment
cal3v Posted July 4, 2003 Author Share Posted July 4, 2003 Cool, yea I scraped some off of the glass so that I could see, and the places I scraped looked real good, I'm going to keep the back covered for now though because I don't have a background lol. Do you have any glass tanks? If so do you know how to get the coraline off the silicone seals in the tank? Link to comment
Brooklyn Johnny Posted July 4, 2003 Share Posted July 4, 2003 I use a razorblade for that too Cal being really careful, sort of brushing it off with the tip and not applying too much pressure. Yeah definately like the look better with it taken off... Link to comment
cal3v Posted July 4, 2003 Author Share Posted July 4, 2003 Ok cool thanks, I'm gonna go clean some coraline:). Link to comment
JIM27 Posted July 4, 2003 Share Posted July 4, 2003 On the front glass I'd definatly take it off, but on the back I think it looks kinda cool. Link to comment
cal3v Posted July 5, 2003 Author Share Posted July 5, 2003 I just cleaned the coraline and the tank looks great, more "open" feeling. Check this side shot: Link to comment
floppyfish Posted July 5, 2003 Share Posted July 5, 2003 Must have grabbed the sledge hammer and chisle eh?! I try to scrape the coraline of the back bottom corners and usually have to give up because my hand gets tired of scrape'n the stuff. So I just gave up, besides no one looks through the bottom back corners anyway. But man thats a beautiful tank! Edit: Ooops I see Brooklyn Johnny's tip. I'll have to try that. Johhny ever worry about rust or any metals getting into your tank? I suppose its a one time, one razor blade deal huh? Link to comment
Brooklyn Johnny Posted July 6, 2003 Share Posted July 6, 2003 Floppy there's no problem in using a razor blade in your tank, as long as you obviously don't leave it in there. Looks good Cal... I'm all for the clean look... Link to comment
danano Posted July 7, 2003 Share Posted July 7, 2003 A fresh view... very nice Cal. Your nana colony (in the foreground) has coloured up nicely. How long have you had it?... and what colour are the polyps? Link to comment
cal3v Posted July 7, 2003 Author Share Posted July 7, 2003 I've had the nana for about a year, started off as a little frag. The polyps are a whitish color, the body is a green tinge, and the tips purple. Link to comment
Fishtails Posted July 7, 2003 Share Posted July 7, 2003 Cal, you can sell the coralline scrapings if you haven't already. Link to comment
cal3v Posted July 7, 2003 Author Share Posted July 7, 2003 Sure can if I can get to them, they're in the bottom of the tank. Link to comment
cal3v Posted July 9, 2003 Author Share Posted July 9, 2003 Just got an A. tenuis, unidentified dark purple acro, and an A. suharsonoi. I'll get pics up later tonight. Also I'm expecting another couple of maximas either Thurs or next week, depends when I can get them shipped. Link to comment
cal3v Posted July 9, 2003 Author Share Posted July 9, 2003 Tenuis? Also you can see some blue zoos with green tentacles in the pic: Link to comment
