weeber Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 i love ur tank did u do any mods to it? Link to comment
akabryanhall Posted June 17, 2009 Author Share Posted June 17, 2009 Thanks weeber! it actually has a pc mod that doubles the number of lights, but atm I am only running 1 Actinic and one 50/50 to help with my algae outbreak. I am doing aggressive water changes and my nutrients seem to be coming down. Also ordered a tuxedo urchin. Should motivate me to glue my corals down, Link to comment

akabryanhall Posted June 17, 2009 Author Share Posted June 17, 2009 So I have been glueing animals to rocks like crazy over the last few days. I have given up my attempt at the j'field zoa garden, if you can't beat them...do something else. They will look much better filling up the space on my rock Faaayce Link to comment

akabryanhall Posted June 18, 2009 Author Share Posted June 18, 2009 The new additions! I got him at the same time as him Notice how hes not in the barnacle...Here they are acclimating Link to comment
JLwaves Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 I'm digging the diversity of the softies you got, a lot of really strong colors. Awesome! Link to comment
akabryanhall Posted June 18, 2009 Author Share Posted June 18, 2009 Thanks for the replies guys. I will keep you updated as to the progress. Right now my record with shipped fish sucks face Link to comment
akabryanhall Posted June 18, 2009 Author Share Posted June 18, 2009 Made another attempt at getting the jawfish in his barnacle pvc house. The first time I used a tupperware flipped upside down over it with jawfish inside. Didn't take. Next I tried a gallon zip lock bag with corner cut off then placed around the edges of the barnacle, he will not go in, I think the hole is too small. Link to comment
akabryanhall Posted June 20, 2009 Author Share Posted June 20, 2009 Oscar the grouch seems to have settled in, he hasn't massacred the sand bed like the first jawfish. The Most Interesting Urchin in the World is doing good, always on algae missions. Haven't seen him go through any of the thick stuff yet. Link to comment
akabryanhall Posted June 20, 2009 Author Share Posted June 20, 2009 Got a new Orange Mushroom, pretty rare I think, looks cool so far Regular Flash The most Interesting Urchin in the World Finally got my Prism Chalice mounted so I can see it..Behold Duncan Cotton Candy Link to comment
akabryanhall Posted June 25, 2009 Author Share Posted June 25, 2009 So my offensive is underway, on top of the urchin, I have purchased 3 atlantic turbos which are huge and 3 more red leg hermits. I have stuffed a ball of chaeto in the center chamber with a underwater light that i will leave on at all times. This hopefully will use up necessary nutrients for the algae. Next I had planned on dosing a vodka, suger and vinegar mixture to help reduce my phosphates and nitrates, but...I just checked my parameters and, Phosphate-0 Nitrite-0 ammonia-0 Nitrates-2.5 PH-7.8 So I guess the algae is using up all of the nutrients making the excess undetectable?? so how can I accurately dose vodka etc? My next plan of action was to use epsom salt to raise the magnesium to 1500-1600, but just realized both of my test kits have ommited magnesium from their repetoire. So now i need to go out and spend another $25-30 bucks on a magnesium test kit... My fukin jawfish still won't eat, so it's on its way out, I've tried Blue Zoo, (figured since that where it came from..), Rods food, arctic pods, cyclopeez, going broke just trying to find something it will like. Finally got my trachy to eat something without my clown stealing it so thats a plus. Link to comment
Psychosis Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 The tank is looking great man. I'm enjoying following it along. How are you liking the Tuxedo? I've been really considering getting one. I feel ya' on the test kits. Something tells me 4 ounces of test liquid and a color card might not be worth $30 Link to comment
