Gerber77 Posted February 14, 2009 Author Share Posted February 14, 2009 What a vet PS the new scape is very cool and so are the T5's You made me want to start another tank! Ive definitely learned the hard way rushing things. Patience is seriously the most important thing in this hobby. Thank you very much. I love the scape as well Tonga branch is so fun to work with. Im glad Im inspiring you to start another tank, it was el fab's, diggmans. lalanis, and cuboy's tanks that got me thinking about the 5.5 and Im very glad I made the choice to start it.

Nanobuds Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 i am gonna start a 3 gallon seahorse pico sometime in the summer. Link to comment
Gerber77 Posted February 14, 2009 Author Share Posted February 14, 2009 Sweet man I think seahorses are alot of work if Im not mistaken Link to comment
PoopCola Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 Sweet man I think seahorses are alot of work if Im not mistaken Yep I dont know if that is a very good idea Nanobuds Personally I dont think you should do it Link to comment
Nanobuds Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 first i will get the pico, let it cycle for two months and get the pod population high, lots of research, and get the right corals and algae for the seahorses. then buy one dwarf seahorse, if he surrives for a month, then two more.

fiction101 Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 Cool tank, I like the branch rock a lot, it's give it a more open look. Do you plan on putting GSP on a part of it, so it encrusts it? Link to comment

I think it would just be much easier to have a tiny reef with a bunch of sexy shrimp. Cool tank, I like the branch rock a lot, it's give it a more open look. Do you plan on putting GSP on a part of it, so it encrusts it? Thank you, no on the GSP, I am going to cover the rocks with palys and ricordea. Every frag of GSP Ive had its gotten out of control so Im not too big on it lol Link to comment

Gerber77 Posted February 14, 2009 Author Share Posted February 14, 2009 that is very true, any suggestions on what I should put where the xenia would have been? Link to comment
PoopCola Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 that is very true, any suggestions on what I should put where the xenia would have been? duncans? Link to comment
Gerber77 Posted February 14, 2009 Author Share Posted February 14, 2009 duncans? Interesting, I have never had duncans before I remember in the summer I think they were the craze everybody wanted them. What do you all think of an acan or two with my lighting? Link to comment
Deano Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 Moved my Biocube 29 home. I am wanting to do this setup at my office. Question? Looks like you run the tank with a top, what is the evaporation daily? I use a elec ATO on my BC29 and will have to on this tank because the tank will set unattended over the weekend. Debating elec ATO or a gravity ATO with a manual float valve and building a top to hide the ATO jug, lights ect. Been debating the T5 light from DFS for a couple wks now. Looks like a good choice for the $. Thks for posting, helped me make that choice. 70w mH better but a big investment. Link to comment

You should definitely do it, I have had so much fun with this tank. Looks like you run the tank with a top, what is the evaporation daily? I usually top off with a 12 oz water bottle everyday. Its not very much. I use a elec ATO on my BC29 and will have to on this tank because the tank will set unattended over the weekend.

Im not a big fan of MH so I prefer T5 anyway. Goodluck with your tank. I just got back from my trip and I can see a good deal of diatoms in the tank. Tomorrow I will do a 40% water change and then add some more CUC. Link to comment
