DrCooper Posted January 21, 2009 Author Share Posted January 21, 2009 I try and get some good fuge pics but my camera is acting up. That is a Koralia 1 yes I use a Aqua C remora and the stock skimmer I only use both cause i have the room so figured why not. Link to comment

That is a Koralia 1 yes I use a Aqua C remora and the stock skimmer I only use both cause i have the room so figured why not. I was just wondering what ur fuge set up was cuz i was thinkin about throwing one into my second chamber... i was just wondering how you set urs up, like what lights you are using, basically step by step how you did it Link to comment
DrCooper Posted January 21, 2009 Author Share Posted January 21, 2009 no problem. It is actually very easy. I used the middle compartment because that is where the overflow is giving great flow into the fuge. you have to place something on both sides of the bottom to keep a sand bed there, because its open on the bottom. I did this with some plastic on both sides glued onto egg crate. Put a 4 inch sand bed some rock rubble and algae. Using a light i get that clips on from Ikea! simple stuff Link to comment

Using a light i get that clips on from Ikea! simple stuff seems relatively easy...i think im gonna give that try in a couple weeks.......are you running any this else like carbon, filter floss anything else like that? ...if so where are you putting all this stuff in those little chambers!!! And what is the wattage on that light you are using?? Link to comment
DrCooper Posted January 21, 2009 Author Share Posted January 21, 2009 I also run chemipure and i put that in one the side chambers below my skimmer output from the aqua c remor and my heater I check on the light when im home tomorrow morning Link to comment

I got two more questions.. 1. is your light just clipped on to the top and shines from the top down...or is it like a bendable light that shines on the back??? 2. Have you noticed any difference in your tank since putting the chaeto and the fuge into your system Thanks for all the info and NICE TANK!!! Link to comment
DrCooper Posted January 21, 2009 Author Share Posted January 21, 2009 the light clips on a shelf i installed above the tank. The light just shines down on the fuge but i may try and bend it to shine on the back, doubt it. My tank is close to wall so kinda hard to do that and my space is limited (NYC 1 bedroom) I have noticed a decrease in the amounts my skimmer collects which I can only attribute is a good thing. Its fairly new and wish i had pics. The thing is my camera just stopped working. Also I work till friday am so once im up friday i take pics. till then i just work and sleep thanks for the compliments on the tank Link to comment
DrCooper Posted January 22, 2009 Author Share Posted January 22, 2009 Sad Sad Update! Besides having my smaller clown and Tailspot Blenny (FAVORITE) go missing over the weekend. My new clam just went Boom on me and died. I got home from my overnight shift and saw the clam wasnt looking to good. Had to go to sleep so when woke up for my night shift went and saw it open and the clam itself shrivled up. W T F F F F F otherwise everything good, levels great and corals all happy very sad and odd! damn i hate when stuff dies on me! Link to comment
angelacbishop Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 What a shame about the clam, it was really nice looking! Good luck with the mandarin...I can't even seem to keep them alive in my 60 gallon with 120 lbs of rock but I do have a lot of other pod eating fish. They sure are pretty if you can manage to keep them though. Link to comment
Khayman Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 DrCooper I am very sorry to hear about your clam. I see you have visited my thread on Mandarines. If you are able I would try culturing brine and adding them to your tank or atleast getting some pods on culture. Mandarines are a grazing fish and eat all day long. Link to comment

DrCooper Posted March 12, 2009 Author Share Posted March 12, 2009 so far the puffer has not shown any aggression. I am worried though, it has not seemed interested in eating only time will tell! His name is Paco Link to comment
