JDigital Posted January 19, 2009 Author Share Posted January 19, 2009 looks good, nice foxfaceare milleporas the ones that sting? i cant seem to fgure it out haha You know what, I will have to check into that too.. I couldn't honestly tell you, I just know they are one of easier Acros to keep. Anyways, the tank is doing well so far.. I don't have any nuisance algae to deal with (...yet? ), the Foxface is settling in quickly and knows who I am after only 48hrs.. "Hey, did you bring me food again??". The clown doesn't seem to want to leave the back corner where the closed loop intake is, so he must enjoy the flow, there will just never be anything to host. Took a bunch more shots tonight, as well as a few shots of the new Acro colony I brought home today. The new colony today: 2: 3.

JDigital Posted January 19, 2009 Author Share Posted January 19, 2009 Great pics, love the one of the frogspawn. Thanks Lani!! Just finished making a top down viewing box for my camera. My "Yellow" Acro isn't so yellow from top down.. Only shot I've tried so far, but I am already addicted to top down shots. EDIT: Damn, I loose alot of color using photobucket!!! Link to comment

HecticDialectics Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 And a FTS: I totally dig your aquascaping Link to comment
JDigital Posted January 20, 2009 Author Share Posted January 20, 2009 I totally dig your aquascaping Thanks.. I switched a 2 rocks around yesterday to give myself some better spots for coral placement.. I'll get an updated FTS tonight probably... Nothing else to do. EDIT: Here are the FTS shots from couple mins ago. Link to comment
JDigital Posted January 23, 2009 Author Share Posted January 23, 2009 Whoohoo!! I think I figured out the problem with the pictures being less colorful when I upload them. Compare this shot and with the 1 above.. WAY better color. Oh, and this little addition.... Link to comment
WhiteShark Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 Have you had any problems with your foxface or butterfly going after your corals or inverts? Link to comment
JDigital Posted January 23, 2009 Author Share Posted January 23, 2009 Have you had any problems with your foxface or butterfly going after your corals or inverts? Foxface, I have had for a week now, and haven't seen any nipping at anything. But I feed 2-3 times a day (when I'm home) usually 1-2 small "snacks", then supper at about 7pm. CBB - I've only had him for the night so far, so hard to say what he'll do, but so far no problems in the last 16hours.. Link to comment

JDigital Posted January 23, 2009 Author Share Posted January 23, 2009 im jealous, i love copper bandedim gonna get one when ever i get a larger tank Yea, they are a great fish. I was VERY hesitant about getting him, because I know alot of CBB are cyanide caught, but he had been at the LFS for about 3weeks, and was eating at the store, plus I got him for a really good price IMO, so I took the chance!!

hazmat Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 Do you mind me asking where you got your rock? I'm starting up a 90 gallon and I love the rock you have. Great aquascape! I'm wanting to use dry rock so hopefully that's what yours is or was! Link to comment

I'm wanting to use dry rock so hopefully that's what yours is or was! I got my rock at my LFS here in Calgary.. It's about half Fiji and half Tonga. I cooked it for quite a few months after I broke down this tank the first time, so it had plenty of time to rid itself of some of the algae and other cr*p that was on it. I will be using dried out Tonga rock in my 40G cube tho. Link to comment
hazmat Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 Ah, I didn't realize you were a Canuck! Well, it's really nice. I'm thinking of ordering Eco rocks or Marco rock. It's dry figi. Your tank is awesome. Edit: how long did it take for it to seed? Link to comment

Your tank is awesome. Edit: how long did it take for it to seed? I had originally planned to let it cycle for about 6 months, on a minimum lighting cycle. So I really wasn't testing for the typical cycle. I think I took a couple test near the end of November (3weeks) and was into the initial cycle we all look for. This rock was never dried out, so if you plan to use dry Eco rocks etc, it may take a bit longer, I'm not sure. Unfortunately, I had a small 10G crack on me and I rushed a bunch of small corals and my clown into this tank, near the mid/end December, which through me off my original plan. Not that I am complaining.. Link to comment
