jojoe972 Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 Nice tank!!!! I didnt have so much luck with my ocellaris clown and my firefish. The clown was a big bully and had to get rid of him because the firefish was slowly starving to death. I'm glad to see that yours are getting along fine Link to comment
GIRLGONEAQUA Posted January 27, 2012 Author Share Posted January 27, 2012 Yes, the tank is still alive & I'm happy with my clown. had a horrible case of mushrooms, had to sell 5lbs of my rock to take care of it. I literally was about to give up on the tank completely because the algae became so bad, and the mushrooms had completely taken over the tank/corals. But one day I put my big girl pants on, sold the infested rock, cleaned the rock that was saveable, added new sand, & cleaned every inch of it... now I am satisfied. Link to comment
nor_cal_nano Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 Looks good. Perfect amount of rock in there right now IMO Link to comment
GIRLGONEAQUA Posted January 27, 2012 Author Share Posted January 27, 2012 Thank you, I feel good about selling the extra 5lbs Id like to upgrade the stock lights & pump any (cheap) suggestions? I also want 1 piece of new coral, something soft? brain, frogspawn, torch? Link to comment
ApiratenamedJohn Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 It's about time! This tank is awesome. Its good to see another bc14 owner with a shweet ass tank. For cheap lights I'd say aquastyle. That's what I want to get at least. I've read good things about them on here too. For pumps idk. Link to comment
cuber14 Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 Nice tank ,you said you run carbon filters(not sure what you mean) no LR rubble or media basket. Im curious as Im new to this(9 months) and had LR rubble now converting to media basket.How are your water param. water changes(how much how often)?Here is a pic of mine any feedback? Link to comment
jojoe972 Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 Glad to see you back and the tank looks good. Link to comment
CarrillXXP Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 Yeap, very cool tank, I like those plates alot. For lights read around, alot DIY stuff is the trend as it seems. Link to comment
pheonixsoul25 Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 Yeap, very cool tank, I like those plates alot. For lights read around, alot DIY stuff is the trend as it seems. Used and aquastyleonline 14 led dimmable kit on mine corals seem to love it and I love that I can adjust to color intensity ! Had to trim the heat sink some to fit like I wanted but it came out pretty sweet imo Link to comment
Singlefin Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 Beautiful tank. Very inspirational. Thinking of keeping my BC14 and running both tanks. Link to comment

Im curious as Im new to this(9 months) and had LR rubble now converting to media basket.How are your water param. water changes(how much how often)?Here is a pic of mine any feedback? You know you would be surprised but my tank LOVES Tap water, I dont use purified to mix my salts! My Params are normal, check them every week, nothing changes. Sometimes the PH fluxes a little, but nothing to be worried about. I use a cut out carbon pad in the 1st back chamber, then i use a handful of filter floss on top of the grate in chamber 2. I'm thinking of adding some rubble to the 2nd chamber for better filtration, so far i have some left over rocks and seashells back there. I change the water about every 1-2 weeks @ 30% tank volume. as far as feed back on the tank, if your still using stock lighting i wouldnt add anymore coral or pieces to the tank, and to make sure you clown fish doesnt become aggressive towards your other fish, my clown killed my shrimp, its partner and my gobies. So i keep him solo. hope that helps GGA Link to comment
GIRLGONEAQUA Posted February 8, 2012 Author Share Posted February 8, 2012 Thinking about buying a new piece of coral, any suggestions? something that can do well under 10k lighting. Link to comment
ApiratenamedJohn Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Hmm I think I nice green finger leather would look sick. Add some color and height. Link to comment
GIRLGONEAQUA Posted February 11, 2012 Author Share Posted February 11, 2012 Bought some actinic lights this week, I enjoy. Link to comment
Jruberti Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 Your zoas look like they are spilling out your rock and your clownfish looks like he has a mustache Awesome tank!! I definitely like the new lighting. Link to comment
GIRLGONEAQUA Posted February 11, 2012 Author Share Posted February 11, 2012 hahaha he does have a stash! (black lips) Link to comment
ApiratenamedJohn Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 What kind of actinics did you get if you don't mind? Brand and specs? It takes your tank to a whole new level of awesome. Link to comment
GIRLGONEAQUA Posted February 11, 2012 Author Share Posted February 11, 2012 Just went to my LFS and noticed that Coral Life came out with a 24w Actinic. I normally buy the Coral Life 24w 50/50 with my 10k replacements. Link to comment

It really makes the colors pop and I like the blue. Link to comment

nanoreef11 Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 GirlGoneAqua, How has the biocube been treating you. I just recently updated my page after a year and I see you are falling into the same boat. 4 years with the biocube sure is a long time so keep us posted on here. I need fellow BC14 people so I can still learn from them. Hope all is well and happy reefing. Jon Link to comment
