Tigahboy Posted September 18, 2009 Author Share Posted September 18, 2009 Yeah, I don't want to deal with the moving around as well. Decisions decisions. Quote Link to comment
proraptor2 Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 Stick to the cool acans Quote Link to comment
Sushi Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 Stick to the cool acans I agree... don't get a nem. They're nice, but it becomes quite troublesome as you very well know when a RBTA ends up traipsing over your prized zoos/acans only to sting the crap out of everything when it expands.

Tigahboy Posted September 19, 2009 Author Share Posted September 19, 2009 OK fine. No RBTA!... for now. Quote Link to comment
bluenassarius Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 Hah. I grew up with an Afghan blanket my grandmother knit me in those exact same colors. Brilliant. Me want some. must've been one beautiful blanket. Quote Link to comment
Maeda Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 OK fine. No RBTA!... for now. NEVER! DON'T DO IT MAN! Just imagine a tentacled, walking, stinging, SPS killer going godzilla in your tank. Quote Link to comment
NanoReefNovice Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 OK fine. No RBTA!... for now. I have an idea! make another nem tank. Quote Link to comment
Tigahboy Posted September 19, 2009 Author Share Posted September 19, 2009 OK OK. I wont get the RBTA! Haha. If I had more time I would definitely consider RBTA tank or a seahorse tank. Sigh. I may need a prop tank soon tho. Hate having frags in my display. Quote Link to comment
Christo Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 +1 Hate frags in display, Im planning on adding a frag tank to my systems as well, hope yours will work out. Im planning on doing some LED lighting on mine to reduce the amount of heat in the cabinet. Just waiting for the lights to show up now. Quote Link to comment
Cesar Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 I may need a prop tank soon tho. Hate having frags in my display. Yeah I hate frags in your display too. Send them my way sir. I will take care of that for you. Quote Link to comment

Im planning on doing some LED lighting on mine to reduce the amount of heat in the cabinet. Just waiting for the lights to show up now. That sounds promising. Yeah, I'd definitely hook it up to my existing system as well. I guess time for some planning. Yeah I hate frags in your display too. Send them my way sir. I will take care of that for you.

Tigahboy Posted September 20, 2009 Author Share Posted September 20, 2009 your tank is still an inspiration!hey i had a few questions what type of flow and light are you dendros and acans seeming to like the most? cheers Low to moderate flow and lighting seems ideal imo. Though I think they can handle a wide variety of flow rates (mine get hammered by my mp40 vortech) and lighting conditions. I feed my dendros a lot though. That keeps them happy.

Lawnman Posted September 22, 2009 Share Posted September 22, 2009 What no big purchases this weekend at the LFS? Quote Link to comment
Tigahboy Posted September 22, 2009 Author Share Posted September 22, 2009 Yeah. I was tempted, but I'm trying to slow it down a little. Anyways, photo of my old stuff. Quote Link to comment
pineo Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 (edited) Hey man, updates? Also, compared to your previous aquariums (specifically your 67 gallon) how dooes the vortech work v. your closed look systems (4-way OM). I mean performance-wise, I'm not asking you about how it works in the mechanical sense. Edited September 27, 2009 by pineo Quote Link to comment

I mean performance-wise, I'm not asking you about how it works in the mechanical sense. You're right. Haven't updated in awhile. Been busy with some other stuff and my tank looks like a mess lately with tons of frags. I'll post photos in a minute. But to answer your question, I think the vortech is far superior to having a closed loop with a 4-way (like I had it on my 67g). Better wave action, less noise (wayy less noise), no plumbing to deal with (and thus no possibility of leaks), and definitely more energy efficient. I dug up an old photo of my 67g plumbing with the OM Squirt on a closed loop. Why deal with all this mess?? Quote Link to comment
pismo_reefer Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 HOLYCRAP! its like that pipedream game..... Quote Link to comment
Tigahboy Posted September 28, 2009 Author Share Posted September 28, 2009 Anyway, as I stated, my tank has been looking like a real mess with frags all over the place. I hate it! I really need a frag tank! Here's a photo of the mess... Also got a new coral on Saturday - just your basic candy cane, but it's a nice addition to the tank. This tank is really starting to look like my old 30g now... Still getting some nice coralline growth on my rocks, mp40. I get em on the walls too, but I don't like coralline on the walls, so I scrape daily. This favia makes me REAL nervous with all its sweeper tentacles out all the time. These guys are still good. They don't move at all anymore. Beginning of a nice little zoa garden. And I'll be getting some new additions this week. Stay tuned! Quote Link to comment
got2envy Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 All I can say is WOW!!!!! this tank is awesome already! those nems are too much!! Quote Link to comment

Shoot...I have a Caulastrea frag that is almost identical to this...could have been yours for dirt cheap if you stopped by today. Too bad. I paid full price. I just need a neon green one now.

anstar Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 I love your scape and how nicely the whole tank is coming. I'm an especially big fan of your Zoa garden. The eagle eyes really stand out, and I the pink ones in front. What are they called? Quote Link to comment
