Curly Joe Reefer Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 Very nice tank. I love the simple scape and those cap's look really good Link to comment
DaveFason Posted January 29, 2010 Author Share Posted January 29, 2010 Thanks Joe. I am going to have to trim back the caps with how gnarly and big they are growing! -Dave Link to comment
DaveFason Posted February 2, 2010 Author Share Posted February 2, 2010 Well it looks like North Carolina is in for a ton of snow this year. This is the second storm with 7\"+! Needless to say I was out and about and just having a few beers. The tank has been on auto pilot for the past month. I really need to go in and zap the aptasia and bubble algae but things have been growing so well that I dont really mind. My red planet has been the only thing struggling because of the evil minion ( Blenny ). I snapped a few photos with the old trusty point and shoot and they turned out really well.

DaveFason Posted February 2, 2010 Author Share Posted February 2, 2010 Thanks DHaut. My neighborhood is a artsy section of town and I live behind four bars so it was a party the entire weekend. I popped the gate open stuck some beer in the snow and sat back and relaxed. I could look through my window and watch my tank too! -Dave Link to comment
BobbyL1212 Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 That red polyped cap is unbelievable, i've never seen anything like that. Link to comment

spencers Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 I commented on RC, even though I hate it there. So I'll cross-post: Hahaha. Nice update. I'm finding myself more and more wanting a monti cap Link to comment
crazydante23 Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 Your tank is looking great. Was it custom made? Im in the process of getting a quote for that exact dims. Awesomeness, lol. Whats your bulb combo? Link to comment
DaveFason Posted February 2, 2010 Author Share Posted February 2, 2010 Uhuru - Shoot them over! Spencer - Thanks man. Dont hate RC, some people are rude but it has SO much information that is great for our hobby. bitts - lol. The birds eye view made it look like a snake with glowing eyes crazy - I built it myself. Shoot me a PM, I'm sure I could build another one for you. I am using the following bulb combo.... Blue + Aquablue Special Fiji Purple Blue + If you guys look hard enough you can barely see the head of the eel in the Setosa picture. -Dave Link to comment

nUgZ Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 Last shot is a keeper....looks like the end of a nice day of shoveling snow to me Beginning to a nice day of drinking is more like it!! Link to comment
DaveFason Posted February 3, 2010 Author Share Posted February 3, 2010 Ugh! My blenny felt like putting my purple bonsai through hell yesterday and it started to STN. Its looking better now but I need to get this DAMN fish out of the tank. This will NOT be an easy task. Any tips of tricks to get this guy out? -Dave Link to comment
bitts Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 draining some of the wwater will help. Link to comment
Ebn Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 Oversize tubing and just suck him out. You can do a water change at the same time. Link to comment
Deleted User 6 Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 Do you know where the blenny sleeps? Link to comment
divecj5 Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 Sorry to hear that the Blenny is being a pain and harassing your coral. Hopefully you'll get ahold of his a$$ before the frags get there tomorrow I'd try and find the spot where he hangs out and either try and coax him to the surface with food or suck his butt out with some oversize tube as Ebn suggested. I've inadvertently sucked up my clowns twice now while doing a water change....it works well Link to comment
DaveFason Posted February 3, 2010 Author Share Posted February 3, 2010 I will search and destroy this jerk! -Dave Link to comment
