TheStar Posted February 9, 2010 Author Share Posted February 9, 2010 Thinking about adding 1 or maybe a couple of the following corals. Anyone have any experience with these in the BC29 with LED lighting? How did it change your feeding/dosing?

TheStar Posted February 18, 2010 Author Share Posted February 18, 2010 Just picked up a Monti and a Florida Ricordea... Pics aren't great, but I still haven't figured out how to capture nice photos with the LED's... Link to comment
TheStar Posted February 26, 2010 Author Share Posted February 26, 2010 Couple more pics of the Xenia. This stuff is growing like crazy and attaching right to the glass. Anyone know what kind of magnets are good to use inside of a tank? I want to put some rocks up on the glass so I can take some frags out. Link to comment
TheStar Posted April 26, 2010 Author Share Posted April 26, 2010 Did some fragging of the Toadstool Leather this weekend. Hopefully it works out okay. It was looking pretty good this morning. First one is the New BC29. Before and after photos Link to comment
TheStar Posted April 28, 2010 Author Share Posted April 28, 2010 Picture of the new setup. Haven't figured out what I will do for lights yet. Thinking either topless with Evil's Par 38 (2 or 3 of them) or the Nanotuner/Evil BC 5.6. Link to comment
TheStar Posted May 2, 2010 Author Share Posted May 2, 2010 The leather frags didn't stick to the plugs. Any suggestions? Link to comment
RyanR1212 Posted May 2, 2010 Share Posted May 2, 2010 take a string and tie them down... it will work really well once its on and then give it like a week or two and you should be good Link to comment
TheStar Posted May 2, 2010 Author Share Posted May 2, 2010 Cool, thank you. Would fishing string work? Do I want to put the string through the coral? take a string and tie them down... it will work really well once its on and then give it like a week or two and you should be good Link to comment
streetsong Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 Wow, just looked through your entire thread. I enjoyed seeing how your tank has progressed. Any new pics? Link to comment
TheStar Posted July 12, 2010 Author Share Posted July 12, 2010 Went away last weekend for the 4th of July and returned to a white cloudy mess of a tank. Dead Fish, Corals, etc. The smell was awful. A fuse in the house blew and even with a battery backup, 2 days was just too long without any air/circulation. The temperature dropped was to 70, but the tank was a complete mess. After 4 water changes over the last week, it is looking better. I did lose 3 fish, about 80 percent of the Xenia colony, half of the Toadstool, and some of the Zoa's are still hiding away. Things are looking better, hopefully the rest of the stuff continues to recover. Link to comment
TheStar Posted August 2, 2010 Author Share Posted August 2, 2010 Tank has made a nice recovery. Just noticed my Clowns acting peculiar. Looking at the tank, I noticed these... Can they be eggs? Link to comment
TheStar Posted August 2, 2010 Author Share Posted August 2, 2010 Should I be getting another setup ready for these? Link to comment
TheStar Posted August 3, 2010 Author Share Posted August 3, 2010 Eggs are all still there. They have not changed colors much. The Male Clown is extremely protective of them. When I was snapping pictures, he was putting on quite a show -charging back and forth, etc. Not sure if I should remove the eggs them from this tank or not. Any input would be appreciated.

TheNordCelt Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 Some how I lost track of this tread, how's it going, and are the clowns still spawning? Link to comment
nebthet Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 Were these new clowns or the onyx you got from Christo, or did you lose those in the tank crash? Link to comment
Gromit1710 Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 Awesome tank! I hope I can get my new 29 to look as good as yours does. How'd the clown spawn go? Link to comment
Lawnman Posted November 23, 2010 Share Posted November 23, 2010 Haven't seen you around in a LONG time.How you been? Link to comment
TheStar Posted November 23, 2010 Author Share Posted November 23, 2010 Some how I lost track of this tread, how's it going, and are the clowns still spawning? Awesome tank! I hope I can get my new 29 to look as good as yours does. How'd the clown spawn go? Thank you. The clowns keep laying the eggs every few days or so and I haven't tried removing them at all. Haven't had time to set up a system for the babies. Sweet set up bro Thank you! Do you have a link to your setup? Were these new clowns or the onyx you got from Christo, or did you lose those in the tank crash? These were the original clowns I had. I have another BC29 set up just for the Christo clowns. Unfortunately that tank recently crashed and I lost the Christo Onyx clowns. Very Sad. I have one tank on a battery backup system but not this one. Lost power and when I got to it, almost everything was lost. I'm giving that tank to my brother. Haven't seen you around in a LONG time.How you been? Good, nice to hear from you. How is your setup doing? Link to comment
Zo0k365 Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 This thread needs some tlc man. Your tank looked healthy in it's glory days! I hope you get it back to health. I'll post pics for you when I have that groupers tank set up. Link to comment
TheStar Posted April 26, 2011 Author Share Posted April 26, 2011 Its actually getting better. The Green Hair Algae was much worse a few weeks ago. I also added that new filter bag in this morning. Hopefully I'll have some blue sponge for you in a couple weeks. Link to comment

Hopefully I'll have some blue sponge for you in a couple weeks. That's good news. Another thing you could do is throw some big turbos in there and then bring them back when they're done since you probably wouldn't want them long term. Also the sponge would be awesome. I'm excited to get some. When I pick it up I'll definitely have to stock up at Jay's too. Link to comment
