BlueAbyss Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 Wow what a great looking tank! What are the dimensions of the tank? Link to comment
Codeman Posted August 4, 2009 Author Share Posted August 4, 2009 Thanks guys, I really need some updated photos, things have grown out quite a bit since the last ones. BlueAbyss, the tank is a standard 25 Gallon, 24" L x 12" W x 20" H. Same footprint as a 20 High, just taller. Link to comment
Codeman Posted August 10, 2009 Author Share Posted August 10, 2009 Finally got a chance to take a few shots of the tank! Unfortunately, before the water change so please excuse my filthy sand. I got a random tunicate for free yesterday, its all brown, looks like a leathery lump except for the two siphon dealies. It's living in my fuge atm. Aside from that I put in a reefcleaners order today to restock my CUC and I'm getting some mangroves to add to the refugium. I hope to upgrade my bulbs ASAP and was thinking of getting: GE 6500K ATI Aquablue Special ATI Blue Plus UVL Super Actinic Comments? If I go with this combo, which bulb would pair best with the UVL for my Dawn/Dusk Cycle? On to the pictures! Green Acan, please excuse the nasty sand. GSP/GBTA/Zoas & Palys Mini Zoa Garden My new giant Favia colony! This is my random piece of monti. I was told it was purple digi, but I'm not so sure. It gets great polyp extension and has grown from a flat, quarter sized hunk. I'm hoping for more color once I upgrade my bulbs. My minis. Link to comment
Carlton'sTank Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 Tank is looking good. Those acans sure grew over the past 3 months. I really like the minis too. Link to comment
Codeman Posted August 11, 2009 Author Share Posted August 11, 2009 Tank is looking good. Those acans sure grew over the past 3 months. I really like the minis too. Thanks! The acans are growing like mad! Unfortunately the purple one's mother polyp was mostly destroyed when it was up on the frag rack and my pump failed when I wasn't home. It must have been out of water for a good hour. The good news is its 8+ baby polyps are just fine! Link to comment
coralcor Posted August 11, 2009 Share Posted August 11, 2009 so when can i get a mini nem? Link to comment
Codeman Posted August 11, 2009 Author Share Posted August 11, 2009 Just finished a water change and vacuumed up the nasty out of the sand I placed an order with reefcleaners the other day: 1Penny Macro Algae 15 Dwarf Cerith Snails 6 Florida Cerith Snails 5 Nerite Snails (Small - Medium) 5 Red Mangroves I'm hoping for the order to arrive Friday, which would be perfect as I have the day off. I'm also going to pick up some more Nassarius snails and Blue Leg Hermits soon. I just noticed that the damaged Acan is recovering very well, its already regrown most of its lost flesh! Can anyone recommend any critters besides Nassarius snails to keep my sandbed clean and healthy? Link to comment
Codeman Posted August 21, 2009 Author Share Posted August 21, 2009 Just got home with a frag of birdsnest and purple monti cap from a local reefer. The cap is already extending polyps! Once I get some more super glue ill snap some pictures as I still need to mount the birdsnest. Link to comment
Codeman Posted October 6, 2009 Author Share Posted October 6, 2009 I need to update more. I took a few pics of the tank and refugium-turned mangrove forest. FTS Blue Zoas, Ricordeas Red Zoas Hungry Acans Refugium: Top-Down Through the forest Tunicate! Anyone have a proper ID for it? it closed up its siphons cuz I was messing around in there. That's all for now! Link to comment
nikeSB Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 did you plumb ur return line in or just put it in from the top? Link to comment
Codeman Posted October 10, 2009 Author Share Posted October 10, 2009 did you plumb ur return line in or just put it in from the top? I didn't drill in the return, I just plumbed it over the top frame of the tank. Link to comment
Codeman Posted October 11, 2009 Author Share Posted October 11, 2009 Picked up an ORA Green Damicornis today. It has awesome color, I'm excited to see it open up fully. I also just ordered a couple new T5 Bulbs. 1 UVL Super Actinic and 1 Giesemann Powerchrome Midday and a new bag of chemi pure. I can't wait to see what a difference it makes when I switch out 2 stock bulbs for these new ones! Link to comment
Codeman Posted October 12, 2009 Author Share Posted October 12, 2009 FTS 10/11 SPS land is growing New addition - ORA Green Damicornis Rics & some Zoas Acans, waiting for color to return to the purple Lord. Blasto & frag of ORA Elkhorn Monti (Which may need to be relocated as my BTA is closing in on it.) Green Toadstool Link to comment
spanko Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 WOW just read the whole thread. Your tank is coming along great! Nicely done!!!! Link to comment
animalmaster6 Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 Hi Cody! I talked to you an hour ago. The tank looks absoluetly amazing! When you said it was a mixed reef I didn't know it was this mixed! I want my 125G to be this mixed! I LOVE your acna/favia/blasto garden on your sandbed! I'm thinking for the 125G I'm putting plate corals, acans, favias, and a big frogspawn on the sandbed. Do you think that's a good idea? Anyway, the tank is just really awesome! One of my favs on N-R. Thank you so much for helping me today! I probably would've bought the Peppermint Shrimp if it wasn't for you. I would've been really bummed to see my corals eaten. Also, thanks for helping me out on the lighting and tang questions. It really helped and this can save me some big-time cash! Also, thanks for telling me about how to save my corals! I should be dosing some nitratet remover tonight or tommorrow and I'm doing a water cahnge Friday and hopefull Sunday as well! That waz a really good idea of setting up the Frag Tank! It looks great and I'm going to buy a lot of frags from you guys! Where do you get all the snails you have? Is it local? My 12 G is running SUPER low on a CUC. Diatoms are everywhere and the glass looks awfuL! I'm saving money for the125G so I am not ordering a bigger CUC online. WOuld you mind telling me where you got them if local? thanks! I even has Red Slime Algae!!! My CUC includes this 1 Turbo Grazer Snail 1 Tonga Fighting Conch 1 Nassarius Snail 1 Astrea Snail 1 Red LEg Hermit What else and how much should I get? Check out my tank-threads! It's in my sig. We've got to trade frags sometime! You have so many good ones! Once I get more frags and my tank is healthy I'll PM you or visit you. Sorry for the longpost. I hope you don't mind... Link to comment
Codeman Posted December 30, 2009 Author Share Posted December 30, 2009 Thanks, AM6! Here's some new pictures, better late than never. FTS ORA Blue Tenuis Tricolor Acro, encrusting quickly! ORA Family (Damicornis, Tenuis, Cap & Birdsnest) Blue Cloves Purple Duncan ORA Birdsnest Purple Digi & friends Toadstool just keeps getting bigger. Link to comment
animalmaster6 Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 Great pics! The tank is looking great! The snails and hermits you got me are doing good so far! Thanks again for the massive ball of chaeto! The Blue Legs I think are Yellow Tips. They are grean with a light yellow tip on their leg. I like these much better than Blue Legs! Link to comment
animalmaster6 Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 Quick Question: Do you think you will ever get Frogspawn in the Frag Tank? I am kinda appscessed with it. I would LOVE to have some in my 125G! Link to comment
Codeman Posted December 30, 2009 Author Share Posted December 30, 2009 Quick Question: Do you think you will ever get Frogspawn in the Frag Tank? I am kinda appscessed with it. I would LOVE to have some in my 125G! Most likely. I'll try to get some in. I have hammers that grow out of control, I could cut you a frag if you want. Link to comment
animalmaster6 Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 Most likely. I'll try to get some in. I have hammers that grow out of control, I could cut you a frag if you want. That would be great! I was thinking of a Frogspawn rock, a Torch rock, and a Hammer rock. I'm putting them on rocks in the middle of the sandbed so they can't sting anything Link to comment
Codeman Posted January 10, 2010 Author Share Posted January 10, 2010 Vortech MP10 scheduled to arrive on tuesday! Cannot wait! Link to comment
