nanoty Posted May 2, 2009 Author Share Posted May 2, 2009 youre buying a chiller and im adding a heater... my tank hasnt went over 75 yet Mine will hit 83 during the day but it doesnt seem to help if I prop the canopy open or add more fans. I think I need to do some canopy mods later to cool the bulbs better. Link to comment
nanoty Posted May 2, 2009 Author Share Posted May 2, 2009 This urchin is getting annoying. He has already found all the single polpys I put in the tank and was trying to pick up this huge frag a while ago. He tried to wear the snail shell on the ground too but I guess it was too much.

n0rk Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 Slightly late I know, but I'd do your best to stay away from the Whitecheek Tang (A. nigricans) as far as possible. They're a beautiful fish, granted, but they simply have too many problems in the acclimation phase in my experience. The Powder Brown looks very similar and shouldn't give you anywhere near as many dramas. And if you want two Tangs - get the Tomani as well. They've got an awesome personality and don't have the size issues of the Chevron. Link to comment

I've already decided on the Powder Brown (Acanthurus japonicus) and the Tomini (Ctenochaetus tominiensis). I just need to get to my LFS and order them. Hopefully sometime next weekend.

nanoty Posted May 3, 2009 Author Share Posted May 3, 2009 I ended up taking the large leather out and fragging the zoas from under it. There was also some type of LPS I believe that didnt look good if anyone wants to try and ID it. Professional fragging tools. Here is the leather and zoas. They were completely covered when the leather was open. Mystery coral, looks like LPS, anyone have an idea? I didnt get any pics of me actually fragging or afterwards since I was trying to hurry. It went well and I ended up with a large zoa frag and a few with 4-5 polpys. Here are the zoas today. Here is the mystery coral today. Its very small and hard to take a picture of. I also moved some more stuff over from the 40 breeder. New FTSs with newish scape. I jacked with it for what seemed like hours before I finally found a scape I could live with. Link to comment
Lalani Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 Cool, easy wasn't it? Not sure what the mystery coral is.. Link to comment
nanoty Posted May 3, 2009 Author Share Posted May 3, 2009 Cool, easy wasn't it? Not sure what the mystery coral is.. Pretty easy, I just didn't know what I was getting into. Whole thing took less than 3 minutes and that was glueing down loose frags too. Beats the hell out of me. I put a better pic in the ID forum, here it is cropped and resized. haha nice frag tools. I have a Craftsman air compressor and a pneumatic chisel, but I went with finesse this time. Link to comment
plainrt Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 Looking really good.And thats what i use to frag also. Link to comment

davidr2340 Posted May 4, 2009 Share Posted May 4, 2009 Looks like a Blasto to me as well!!! Nice score! The new scape looks great for sure!!! Awesome tank bro!!! Link to comment

nanoty Posted May 4, 2009 Author Share Posted May 4, 2009 Looks like a Blasto to me as well!!! Nice score! The new scape looks great for sure!!! Awesome tank bro!!! Thanks, I am one of the worst when it comes to being satisfied with scapes. I jacked with it until the wife finally told me to "leave it the hell alone". I still need to aquaputty the leather down as well as a few others but I can't fit too much more in here and still have room for stuff to fill in. I would like to start a ric and zoa "garden" towards the front of the tank, I have enough small frags to start. +3 on B Merletti ty Tank looks sweet ! Thanks man. I am thoroughly enjoying the tank and I think the livestock will be enjoying it more when the chiller comes in. Link to comment
