wolf111 Posted January 3, 2009 Share Posted January 3, 2009 Oh my. I had been wandering around this forum (new to it as of today) and I had read several threads with the usual forum one-up-man-ship that invades a public venue such as this...I'm not new to aquaria but new to salt water tanks, and was looking for some time/money saving tips and general information and was battered with the usual chest pounding that goes on. I was reaching for my mouse, ready to search elsewhere when I saw this thread. I no longer care WHAT is going on in those other threads. I am inspired. An incredible example of living art. Thank you so much for your dedication to your hobby. Now, I have a goal. I'll try not to stalk you, but can't guarantee it. Wolf Link to comment

Ocho Cinco Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 Great Job man! It's a bute!!! Link to comment
PinStripes Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 very jealous of your design, I wish I was more dedicated to my hobby like you. Good Job! Link to comment
CorvetteJoe Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 stunning tank! VERY nice! I can only aspire to look like that I like the chaeto in the tank idea. I think I may get another little ball of it and stick it in a corner or something. How do you keep it attached or from floating around? or does it just attach it self since it's a plant or what? The blackout idea sounds like a good one ... I think I may try this, as I am battling some serious algae right now. GHA and the red slime (diatom?) stuff. Since that junk grows off light... eliminating the source sounds like a good idea. Link to comment

The chaeto is wedged between the rocks and glass and can't go anywhere. Good luck with the blackout. There is a big thread I started on RC about 3 days with-out lights it has lots of info you might want to check out. Link to comment
sea bass Posted January 6, 2009 Share Posted January 6, 2009 Stunning tank! Wow... Mine looks like crap by comparison. Link to comment
JonathanS Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 nice, kinda crossing the line of nano though! Link to comment
GobyInPeace Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 nice, kinda crossing the line of nano though! There are quite a few 40 breeders on this site in case you have not noticed. There are also quite a few smaller tanks that have more elaborate set-ups and total water volume than mine. Link to comment
burtbollinger Posted January 10, 2009 Share Posted January 10, 2009 Jonathan.... 40 is nano enough... scrape the front of your tank, btw. Link to comment
imalan408 Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 that is an awesome tank and setup well done well done! Link to comment
maydodo Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 Very well deserved, can you explain how to use Aqua Clear as a surface skimmer? Thanks Link to comment
jiriki76 Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 Beautiful tank! Question about the dragonface pipefish. I am dying to get one but have not pulled the trigger yet. I have alligator pipefish that eat painfully slow. If the flow in my tank was any faster, I would wonder if they would starve chasing down food. Has your pipefish adapted to your currents well when feeding? I think mine actually likes the current when not feeding. Seems to hang out by the high current areas a lot. Link to comment
Gerber77 Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 nice, kinda crossing the line of nano though! You are just jealous Link to comment
GobyInPeace Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 Thanks for the kind responses everyone! Very well deserved, can you explain how to use Aqua Clear as a surface skimmer?Thanks There is an attachment Hagen makes that I modified using parts from an old HOB. Here is a pic: *Drilling the holes allowed the skimmer to run silent and eliminated air bubbles from being released by the HOB. Beautiful tank! Question about the dragonface pipefish. I am dying to get one but have not pulled the trigger yet. I have alligator pipefish that eat painfully slow. If the flow in my tank was any faster, I would wonder if they would starve chasing down food. Has your pipefish adapted to your currents well when feeding? I think mine actually likes the current when not feeding. Seems to hang out by the high current areas a lot. Thanks! I reduced my flow dramatically for the pipefish. I changed out all 4 of my powerheads for mini powerfilters. These little filters have smaller grates of which the pipefish can not fit through. They are configured to create a Gyre pattern or a wide band of flow rotating around the rock work. The flow is gentle but effective. Dragon face pipefish behave much differently than other pipefish. Mine basically roams the tanks subtrate and rock like a slow mandarin. It is almost always laying along the substrate, rock work and corals. Its behavior is much more like snake than a fish. Mine is now taking frozen baby brine and has grown considerably in the few months I have had it. Link to comment
