TheCuban1040 Posted June 16, 2008 Author Share Posted June 16, 2008 I recently got a green toadstool that is not looking very green at all. Any recommendations on how to get some color into this thing? Put it under stronger light? Less light? Link to comment
Turkey Baster Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 Your tank is VERY nice! CUDOS to you! Link to comment

el fabuloso Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 Very nice! I love all the colors in your tank. Did you get rid of the GSP that use to be where the kryptonite candy cane colony is now? BTW congrats on being TOTM. Truly well-deserved! Link to comment
TheCuban1040 Posted July 3, 2008 Author Share Posted July 3, 2008 Thanks a lot man! I just got a 3G Picotope and I'm planning on copying yours. After seeing your tank I immediately ordered that Current 36W strip. Can't wait till it gets here! I have that huge chunk of GSP sitting in another tank right now. I think I might trade it in to a LFS for credit or something. Link to comment
el fabuloso Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 Awesome! I'll be looking forward to that tank thread. The Picotope with the Dual Satellite will not disappoint. I think you'll be happy with it! Link to comment
SulfurAcid Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 I have a question. I am setting up an AP24, with the Opentop Metal Halide, but I am wondering about your livestock selection. Aren't those fish taht you have in your tank jumpers? or do you have the glass top on? Amazing tank by the way, my inspiration. Link to comment
TheCuban1040 Posted July 6, 2008 Author Share Posted July 6, 2008 Hey Sulfer, I hear a lot of people talk about jumpers but I have never really had a problem with it. Even when I kept freshwater people would always talk about Bala Sharks jumping and I kept them for years with no problems. I think you just need to make sure you don't startle them when they first go into the tank. Once they find a favorite hiding place they are more likely to dash into there than to jump when they get scared. If you still wanted to cover it I wouldn't use the glass top because it would bottle up too much heat. You could get some egg crate from Home Depot and cut it to fit. I made a top out of egg crate that I put over the tank to help light-acclimate new corals. Link to comment
nanospoof Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 Great looking tank! Question where did you score the Kryptonite Candy Cane? or when are you going to frag it down? Link to comment
TheCuban1040 Posted July 7, 2008 Author Share Posted July 7, 2008 I searched for those kryptonites forever. I saw the ones that EZcompany had in his tank a loooong time ago and they have been on the top of my "wish list" ever since. I ended up breaking down and buying two head from an LFS then about 2 weeks later I found a local guy here in Tucson that was selling 30 heads for only twice the price I paid for the 2! Mine wont be fragged for... probably ever, haha. If you want to see if the dude I got them from is willing to ship you some PM me and I'll give you his info Link to comment

Manimore Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 New FTS: Very nice tank, seriously. I am just getting my ap24 started, could you tell me about your setup fuge yes/no what's in the back chambers what do you feed/add lighting Link to comment
Lalani Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 I love that gsp creeping along the back wall. Link to comment
TheCuban1040 Posted September 15, 2008 Author Share Posted September 15, 2008 Thanks Lalani. That GSP has been growing so slow! I think the neon stuff moves a little slower than the normal GSP. Or maybe it's just that I actually WANT this stuff to spread so it's taunting me. Manimore, you can take a look at my TOTM page to get all the technical info: http://www.nano-reef.com/featured/?tank=14 Link to comment

el fabuloso Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 Nice! Looks like that GSP is finally spreading out nicely! How's the pico adventure? Link to comment
PODPIMP Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 Looks awesome. The GSP on the back wall looks incredible! Link to comment
Weetabix7 Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 Now THAT'S how a reef tank should look! Link to comment
TheCuban1040 Posted October 27, 2008 Author Share Posted October 27, 2008 Thanks all! I'm really worried that when I end up moving out of my apartment there will be no way to keep the GSP on the back wall wet and alive for a long period of time. Anyone have any suggestions? El Fab: The Pico is coming along very nicely. I'll have to start snapping some pics of her so I can make another thread. Link to comment
Asin Posted October 27, 2008 Share Posted October 27, 2008 There's Cuban's in AZ? Cuba FTW! Link to comment

I'm really worried that when I end up moving out of my apartment there will be no way to keep the GSP on the back wall wet and alive for a long period of time. Anyone have any suggestions? NOOOO! must...save...the...GSP can you lay the tank on its back and soak paper towels in tank water and lay it on the GSP and put the tank in a plastic bag to help it from evap this is gonna be a very good question Link to comment
TheCuban1040 Posted October 27, 2008 Author Share Posted October 27, 2008 For some reason I always thought Asin was Asian. Could there be a half Asian have Cuban? The ultimate communist offspring. Link to comment
