divecj5 Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 Awesome pickup Dave. Going to look fantastic in your tank. Link to comment
animalmaster6 Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 Will look awesome! Link to comment
DaveFason Posted February 27, 2010 Author Share Posted February 27, 2010 The other picture is not showing up now, I also won a pair or two tiny acro crabs. They had them measured at 1/4" so there should be perfect in the new acro. After a few to many brews last night I finished putting together my drill press and started to on my new heatsinks. While most people are using larger ones I believe they are overkill. I found a supplier with different size heatsinks that will make my units PERFECT for nano tanks. After receiving them I think the 12 LED units will be 8x3x1.5. Ryujin Lighting My new tank stand plans. This is being made as I type! New FTS - Fiji/Blue+ -Dave Link to comment

DaveFason Posted February 27, 2010 Author Share Posted February 27, 2010 Thanks Will. I'm excited too. Its only a stag but with the little acro crabs it should add some charactor. -Dave Link to comment

DaveFason Posted February 28, 2010 Author Share Posted February 28, 2010 Bitts - Yea I checked that out the other day. While it looks like a solid CA reactor I still prefer using 2part. Its easier to adjust CA and ALK and no worries of the reactor failing. -Dave Link to comment
Uhuru Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 those prototypes are looking real high quality so far Dave! Link to comment
DaveFason Posted February 28, 2010 Author Share Posted February 28, 2010 Thanks Mike. I just got the optics in so I think the unit will only be 1.67" now. Once I get the controller finished I should be able to build 6-10 units! -Dave Link to comment

DaveFason Posted March 4, 2010 Author Share Posted March 4, 2010 Well today was the day. I had to terminate the aptasia farm and destroy the glowing bubble algae. I ended up going to the fish store and picking up some necessities. - Bucket of I.O - tiny Evoita Goby - Halimeda Algae - Various snails - Cowrie - Aptasia X - Peppermint Shrimp From L.A -Blue Stag -Two Acro Crabs I was able to nuke the aptasia, destroy a ton of bubble algae and move some corals around. I am having to frag my caps weekly now with how large there getting! The best part about the acro crabs is one is in the Setosa and the other in the Hawkins! To cool! I will be picking up a Hanna Phosphate meter and a refractometer in the next few weeks. The new stand should be finished April 1st too. I will snap some photo's tomorrow. -Dave Link to comment
nUgZ Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 Did you get my Eviota goby?? The one I took to AC? Link to comment
nUgZ Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 Awesome! He's a cool little fish, but can be very shy. I once thought he was dead for about 4 months. Stopped feeding the tank and everything. Then one day I saw him shoot from behind one rock to another. Crazy. Link to comment
divecj5 Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 Looking great as always Dave. Can't wait to see all of the new additions. Link to comment
animalmaster6 Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 Awesome! Don't you think the shrimp and goby might be snacks for the eel? Congrsts on the Acro Crabs! Link to comment
DaveFason Posted March 6, 2010 Author Share Posted March 6, 2010 One Year! Its gone by so quick! Pictures later today! -Dave Link to comment
