nanoty Posted August 18, 2009 Author Share Posted August 18, 2009 Holy chit! what a recovery Lol, it was a sucess story. It was one of 2 frags that survived my nanocube crash when I was out of town and the AC quit, house and tank hit the 90s for a couple of days. It recovered in the 40 breeder but really took off in the pico. Link to comment
nanoJeff Posted August 19, 2009 Share Posted August 19, 2009 Hi nanoty, what type of light do you have on top of that? Link to comment
nanoty Posted August 19, 2009 Author Share Posted August 19, 2009 Hi nanoty, what type of light do you have on top of that? I am using the cheap Aquatraders 24w PC light. It was about $25 and works great on this little tank. Link to comment
nanoty Posted January 10, 2010 Author Share Posted January 10, 2010 Updated pics. Sorry they suck, still using the point and shoot. Looking into a new camera soon. Link to comment
pismo_reefer Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 Hey 'Ty.. ya know what I like.... yer sucky pics of yer fresh tank! Link to comment
nanoty Posted January 18, 2010 Author Share Posted January 18, 2010 Flatworms? Bad? Anyways, on to the real and slightly better pics. To give you an idea, here are the clove polyps I got from Fab when I recieved them and and then now. Today. Link to comment
Weetabix7 Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 I've had those flatworms before and never really had them cause a problem. Not totally sure, but I think the reddish colored flatworms may be more of a problem. I like the stuff you have in this tank. I'm gonna steal a page from your book and ask for a FTS purty pls.

I haven't noticed any problems but just noticed them the other day. Thanks for the props. The wife is mainly taking care of the maintenance but in reality it is the easiest tank I've ever owned. Another upside is it is packed full of corals that we've probably spent $150 total, lol. There is a really crappy FTS on the last page from a few days ago but it is kinda dirty. I'll try to clean it up and get you a nice one Weetie. Link to comment
Lalani Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 Looks nice. My cloves still haven't spread from the rock they came on. Link to comment
nanoty Posted January 19, 2010 Author Share Posted January 19, 2010 Wow, really? Maybe you need to try my method and stop doing waterchanges. Link to comment
pismo_reefer Posted January 19, 2010 Share Posted January 19, 2010 Clear flatwerms are okay.... red/yellow are bad. I read somewhere that the clear ones eat some enzyme in a particular algae. you must have that kinda algae. I'll see if I can find the article.... Edit: If you want them gone, raise yer Mg.

nanoty Posted January 20, 2010 Author Share Posted January 20, 2010 Why do my FTSs suck so bad? Link to comment
Weetabix7 Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 Why do my FTSs suck so bad? I can't do good ones either. Link to comment
nanoty Posted January 20, 2010 Author Share Posted January 20, 2010 I can't do good ones either. I mean it looks like total barf. My closeups are going to win any awards but at least they actually depict the stuff as it looks. The FTSs I just took today look like a tank that hasn't been cleaned in a month, shot through a windshield of an 18wheeler. Link to comment

The FTSs I just took today look like a tank that hasn't been cleaned in a month, shot through a windshield of an 18wheeler. It can sometimes be difficult to get a good FTS with auto focus turned on. Cameras are really good at focussing on the glass and not what is behind the glass. If you can manually focus your camera on the coral, fish, or whatever else is behind the glass your FTS shots will usually turn out a lot better. Atleast in my experiences anyway. Link to comment
FindingBlemo Posted January 20, 2010 Share Posted January 20, 2010 Are those cloves open all the way? It looks like some are yet to open. I'd love a pic of them all open. Maybe we can talk a frag pretty soon? :) Link to comment

Yeah, this point and shoot is ok but we are looking at a Rebel pretty soon. Are those cloves open all the way? It looks like some are yet to open. I'd love a pic of them all open. Maybe we can talk a frag pretty soon? :) As far as I know, lol. That is how they usually look. I'll toss a few small pieces of LR in them and let them spread on it. Should be able to pull out a few frags in a few weeks. Link to comment
nanoty Posted February 14, 2010 Author Share Posted February 14, 2010 First vertebrate inhabitant. Damn I hate taking pics of this tank. Tank is literally FULL of coral. I cannot find any more room for stuff. Wife said the magic words the other day, "I think I need a bigger tank". Lolz. I am thinking ADA myself although the curved glass looks nice, I just can't take pics at all. Link to comment
hemi Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 When you do get frags of those cloves let me know how much you want.It might be better to wait till the weather warms up though.lol First vertebrate inhabitant.

What a woman!! just dont go to big.I went to a 220g years back and hated it.I couldnt reach the bottom of the tank and it really sucked.When I go big again I will go with a much shorter tank.

Jungle_John Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 did you put any tiger pods in your tank? if so thats one of there three stages of life:) not flat worms. but if they are flats i wouldn't worry about them they look like harmless type. Link to comment
