hcsceo Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 Hey tank is looking good. Love those onyx clowns. I'm going to get a pair from him once my 15 is ready for my desk. BTW found the boxes for the replacement lights last night. I'll photograph them so you can see what I upgraded with. Steve Link to comment

It seems the growth was great a few months back but has slowed down quite a bit lately. More pics.. Hard to see here, but one of the Onyx clowns seems to be growing much faster than the other... And the new BC29 project I'm working on... A beautiful Melanurus Wrasse at my LFS that I would like to one day own... Link to comment

OB1 Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 Nice tank i just set my Nano Wave 9 up 2 weeks ago i love it ........only thing im worried about is the tank is getting discontinued and the main display lamps are a special size as far as the pin configuration goes ....where are u getting replacements? The Bio cube 14 uses the same lamps. They're Coralife 24 watt PC bulbs and are very available. Here's a link to some cheap replacements as well. Bulbs Link to comment

TheStar Posted January 31, 2009 Author Share Posted January 31, 2009 wow! your tank is really coming along!! any ideas on upgrading!? goodluck Thank you! There are actually 2 different sets of pictures. the first is the 9 Gallon and then the Biocube 29 (which I haven't started a thread for yet). The BC29 has some mods that I have read about here on nano-reef.com. These pics have all been taken with my HTC Diamond Phone. I did order a new camera and I can't wait to see the difference in the pictures. Link to comment

TheStar Posted February 20, 2009 Author Share Posted February 20, 2009 Can't get the chaeto to grow back there. Anyone have any success with chaeto in chamber 2? Its there and its alive, but it just won't grow. It must be the lighting, perhaps a submersible light would be better. Link to comment
