irishtexan Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 Wow. It looks really nice. The black sand looks much better and makes everything pop. Wheres the acro frag?? Link to comment
thatdog2202 Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 Very nice setup. I was curious about what kind of spray paint you used? I was looking at doing a similar false wall, but was worried about the paint and the saltwater. Link to comment
Dooderino Posted March 25, 2008 Author Share Posted March 25, 2008 Wow. It looks really nice. The black sand looks much better and makes everything pop. Wheres the acro frag??It's on top of the "palm tree", as the GF calls it. I will try to take a picture tonight. Very nice setup. I was curious about what kind of spray paint you used? I was looking at doing a similar false wall, but was worried about the paint and the saltwater. I used some stuff from Krylon that is use on plastics. Stuff might crash my whole tank but I just let it dry in the sun for a day before installing it in the tank. Link to comment
xxReidxx Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 i like the black sand look i might use it in mine Link to comment
Dooderino Posted March 25, 2008 Author Share Posted March 25, 2008 black moon sand?I guess, to be honest I'm not sure. I was in my LFS and there was a bag of black sand on the floor. Bag was old and scuffed up. Couldn't read a thing. Link to comment
Dooderino Posted March 26, 2008 Author Share Posted March 26, 2008 I saw my Pom Pom crab last night! I thought he was a goner. I also saw the pom pom in my 29g. Link to comment
debbeach13 Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 I like the black sand. Really does look nice. The deer head running rock cracks me up! Link to comment
I Ate A Cake Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 Love the sand. I think I may do that for my tank. -Anyone know if The Black Moon Sand/Tahitian Sand would work? Link to comment
Dooderino Posted March 31, 2008 Author Share Posted March 31, 2008 Both of my Anemone Crabs shed their skins. Made a mess IMO. I did catch my pom pom out and about again. I wish he was more visible. Cute little guy. Link to comment

ununknown Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 wait, so are you going to leave that hole next to the powerhead hole just open like that? Link to comment
Dooderino Posted April 21, 2008 Author Share Posted April 21, 2008 wait, so are you going to leave that hole next to the powerhead hole just open like that?It's not a hole. It's unpainted acrylic. Link to comment
ununknown Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 OOOOooh. I see. I didn't notice those "skimmer teeth" things, sorry if you already mentioned it, but why didn't you paint it? Link to comment
Dooderino Posted April 22, 2008 Author Share Posted April 22, 2008 Well it's been quite awhile since I posted pics and made an update. Everything is doing great. I've only had one snail die. I added an small emerald crab to try and fight the GHA that is on my zoa frag. The pompom comes out every night now. I attached the frog spawn to a frag mag and moved some stuff around. Here are some pictures from day 21 and day 40. Here it sits. Yuma Ric Random shot Orange Florida Ric Zoa frag, Flaming Star Hungry Big Anemone Crab Small Anemone Crab Pompom in it's cave.

tarajean0627 Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 Nice tank! I love the black sand. Was going to do this in mine but I thought it was too fine. Do you have any problems keeping it clean? Does it cloud easily when moved? Also how are your porceleans and pom pom crab getting along? Any fighting? These are what I would love to put in my tank too. Again nice tank. Sarah Link to comment
caponeman Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 Do you top off with the Pinot Grigio or the Cabernet? Link to comment

These are what I would love to put in my tank too. Again nice tank.Sarah No fighting at all. The pompom stays near the sand and the porcelains stay near the top. I rinced the sand and "sifted" the tiny stuff out before I added it. No clouding. Thanks for the compliment! Do you top off with the Pinot Grigio or the Cabernet? I prefer merlot. Link to comment
c est ma Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 Sweet, sweet pics! The tank looks so nice on that table! Gorgeous yuma shots and I love the crab crew. What a nice mix of creatures altogether. --Diane Link to comment
got2envy Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 Nice tank! did you change the bulbs on the dual sattelite or are they the stock bulbs? Link to comment
ununknown Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 ... I hope you know what im talking about but here goes: You know that tube looking thing that looks like its connected to the LR, actually it looks like LR, but i remember seeing something like that and it was from a dead feather duster worm tube. Is that whats placed in your tank? Link to comment
