Clavius85 Posted June 21, 2009 Author Share Posted June 21, 2009 I decided to try to copy some plans I saw here for a mini-fuge light in the rear of my Aquapod. It turned out fairly nice and allows quite a bit of light for the chaeto to grow (hopefully). I have it on a reverse photo-period from my main lights. And my new yellow clown goby: Link to comment

I was never sure what the root cause of the GHA was. But I plucked as much of it out of the tank as I could with my fingers and then got a turbo snail to do the rest. Haven't had any GHA since.

BobbyL1212 Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 Tanks looking gorgeous! In all honesty. Although it is purely up to you. What I would do with that tank, is chisel the main rock pieces into smaller pieces that cascade forward, and buy more rock to do the same. It has a very nice effect and it also creates a lot of real estate! Happy Reefing! Link to comment

But eventually I'm going to get a 29g Biocube to replace the AP. This tank is my first one and it has been a big learning experience. I plan on doing the next one right! Link to comment
BobbyL1212 Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 Glad to hear it buddy! A reef tank is a never ending fountain of knowledge. Analyze everything you have done/are going to do. I can't tell you how much I have learned from my reef tank. Good luck! Link to comment
Clavius85 Posted July 22, 2009 Author Share Posted July 22, 2009 Well, my little tank is now 5 months old! Despite losing the Yellow Clown Goby everything is going perfectly. I still can't believe that I'm not having any major problems and that this tank, my first, just keeps on going smoothly. The coralline algae has really taken over the rocks. Here's the latest FTS and shots of both the GSP rock and my Kenya Tree. Both have been growing consistently. My Zoas aren't growing quite as fast, though. I was hoping they would quickly cover the rock I attached them to and I would have a little Zoa garden. But I guess they're just slow growers? I also shot a video today of me feeding the tank, check it out! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6hyZctd7tLs FTS: GSP: Kenya Tree: Thanks for looking! Link to comment

Clavius85 Posted August 20, 2009 Author Share Posted August 20, 2009 Picked up a small cleaner shrimp today. Here are some pics. You can see my Peppermint in the background checking out the new guy. Link to comment
Clavius85 Posted September 19, 2009 Author Share Posted September 19, 2009 I got my hands on some more corals! I bought two ricordeas from SeaLifeInc.net and received a third one free. Two are purple/green fluorescent and one is blue (but is still coloring up from shipping I think). Also got some more Zoa's, and frags of Green Nepthea and a Leather coral. And a crappy FTS: Link to comment
