sargieboy Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 Wow that looks brilliant love the scape. It's seeing picos like this that keep me going and inspire me to do mine. I went out and bought some loctite super glue gel cyanoacro as i was told thats what to get but it is as much use as a chocolate tea pot when ive tried to glue underwater. Link to comment

I'm glad you like the tank. It was kind of hard to figure out the scape b/c I don't have much room in there. I think the branching piece in the back makes it. Without it, the tank doesn't look as good as it could. Link to comment

Yeah ive not seen any branch pieces here in the uk they are all fairly large ordinary rock shapes. Link to comment

capsfan Posted July 21, 2009 Author Share Posted July 21, 2009 Yeah ive not seen any branch pieces here in the uk they are all fairly large ordinary rock shapes. Really? That's weird. I would think that you would be able to find some. Link to comment
sargieboy Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 Really? That's weird. I would think that you would be able to find some. Yeah possibly no doub they will be mega expensive over here though. I reckon im moving to the states to persue my hobby Link to comment
fewskillz Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 Nice looking pico. I like it. Link to comment

MGDMIRAGE Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 pom poms are great cept they hide constantly, you'd need like 3 or 4 if you ever want to see one. Of course in a pico i guess your odds are much higher, in my 20L i've seen mine 2 times in 3 months. Cookie monster kicks ASS! Link to comment

They seem to die or get sucked into the back like the sexies. It would be cool to get another masked goby though. Link to comment
capsfan Posted August 24, 2009 Author Share Posted August 24, 2009 Okay, a couple clusters of my zoas were going downhill. I started dipping them with furan2 and have removed some corals to make the whole process easier. I also redid the rocks. Here are some pics. Link to comment
MGDMIRAGE Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 Did the SPS die too? did the zoos start melting or something? Link to comment
capsfan Posted August 26, 2009 Author Share Posted August 26, 2009 Did the SPS die too? did the zoos start melting or something? The sps and ricordia are perfectly fine but some zoas started dying. I dipped in Furan2 and am hoping it worked. Pichures!! Link to comment
capsfan Posted August 26, 2009 Author Share Posted August 26, 2009 The other day when I was taking zoas out of the tank to be dipped, I caught a little splash out of the corner of my eye. I looked around in the tank and there was no fish!! I searched like a madman for like 3 minutes before I finally found mr masked goby laying on the floor. It's good I found him then and threw him back in the tank. He's swimming around nicely now. Close one. Link to comment
corallineadam Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 what kind of light??? adam The other day when I was taking zoas out of the tank to be dipped, I caught a little splash out of the corner of my eye.

capsfan Posted August 26, 2009 Author Share Posted August 26, 2009 what kind of light??? The light is a current dual satelite 36watt. I am not completely satisfied with the color of the lights. The bulbs are dual actinic (460nm and 420nm) and dual daylight (10,000k and 6,700k). I think the 6,700k half of the daylight bulb is too yellow, but I am having a hard time finding a 18w bulb that is straight 10,000k. Link to comment

Right now I just want to replace my daylight bulb with a pure 10,000k lamp. I want more of a blue color and the current bulb makes it look yellow. Link to comment
