Nick's Reef Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 Awesome scape, I love the shimmer of leds too, one of the LFS is slowly switching from halides to leds and the difference is amazing. Link to comment
Uhuru Posted June 21, 2009 Author Share Posted June 21, 2009 thats awsome tank is it just me or does the rock work look like a E?? ha filling up ur tank at 3 in the mronin lol thanks! It does indeed look like an E! lol when we get a full frontal shot the rockwork is going to spell "elos" lol haha, seriously, if you look hard, you can make out an ELOS... Awesome scape, I love the shimmer of leds too, one of the LFS is slowly switching from halides to leds and the difference is amazing. Yeah, the shimmer is >> than MH for sure due to the multiple dots. It helps that I have an MP40w making waves too So here are some more pics. Tank is still a little cloudy. Might be from bacterial bloom. I wish I had a video camera but hopefully this gives an idea of the little wave I got going: normally a wave on a rimless tank would scare the crap out of me but I trust elos.... After working up close on this tank, scraping away coralline and such, I must say the silicone work is flawless. I don't see a single imperfection. The plumbing that comes with the tank is the way all reef ready tanks should be... the fittings have rubber gaskets built in, and everything just fits so effortlessly. Link to comment
Uhuru Posted June 21, 2009 Author Share Posted June 21, 2009 the top shelf gets some crazy flow, I'm thinking of putting a fuzzy acro there... but most of the tank will be lps, possibly some NPS stuff in the shade Link to comment

Uhuru Posted June 21, 2009 Author Share Posted June 21, 2009 yeah that's what I had in mind... It will be a while before I add any sps though do you think I would be taking too big of a risk putting an rbta in there? Link to comment

Don't think so, the LFS keeps nems in a 40brd with leds over it, flow might piss it off though. Link to comment
Maeda Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 do you think I would be taking too big of a risk putting an rbta in there? you mean walking stinging death? Link to comment
CrownOfficial Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 i can see it its hiden. it spells Elos Link to comment
Maeda Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 More rock + water glamor shots? Link to comment
Uhuru Posted June 28, 2009 Author Share Posted June 28, 2009 It looks exactly the same but the water is clearer, and there is some bacterial film visible in certain areas. I think I'm gonna do a w/c tomorrow though then I'll take new pics. Link to comment
Uhuru Posted August 2, 2009 Author Share Posted August 2, 2009 Oh no he didn't... ] since my last FTS got lost: ] Link to comment
dpnano Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 just finished filling her up. I'm tired! teaser pic: LED is glorious. You can see little blue and white dots dancing around on the sand, it's like there's a disco ball above. in that picture is the sillicone sealed all the way??? if you look at the corner u c like a little gap?? idk it might just be me haha but the tank looks great Link to comment
Uhuru Posted August 2, 2009 Author Share Posted August 2, 2009 Thanks! The silicone work on this tank is 100% perfect, that's just the edge of the glass reflecting light. Link to comment
dpnano Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 oh i c yeah i was thinkin cuz i've heard nothing but good reviews of the elos system and there silicone work lol Link to comment
tsutaoka Posted August 2, 2009 Share Posted August 2, 2009 any update pix? great job so far Link to comment
Uhuru Posted August 3, 2009 Author Share Posted August 3, 2009 thanks! nothing much to show right now, I am going through a bit of an algae bloom so I added a few snails, but need to wait for my LFS to get in another shipment. I would really like to get people's suggestions on what fish to add at this point. I was thinking some gobies but honestly don't know much about which ones are compatible, easy to feed, etc. I don't want anything that is dependent on live pods or sand sifters or anything like that. A blenny would be cool too but I don't know if it would kill the gobies. Link to comment
sammy113 Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 Tailspot Blenny is a great fish. Yashia Goby w/ pistol maybe Panda Goby is cute Don't know if you like wrasses but a sixline would be cool Caribbean Red Banded Goby Link to comment
Uhuru Posted August 3, 2009 Author Share Posted August 3, 2009 cool thanks for the suggestions... I will look into the blenny and gobies. I like the sixlines but I think there is too much potential for him to become a bully with all the little gobies. Link to comment
RagDoll Posted August 3, 2009 Share Posted August 3, 2009 cool thanks for the suggestions... I will look into the blenny and gobies. I like the sixlines but I think there is too much potential for him to become a bully with all the little gobies. I think a trio of trimma gobies, randalli goby w/ red striped pistol, pair of neon-striped gobies would add a nice array of color. Trimma gobies are very fun to watch, imo. I would add in this order: neon pair, trimma trio must be added simultaneously, pistol, and after week from adding the pistol add the randalli. Link to comment
Uhuru Posted August 4, 2009 Author Share Posted August 4, 2009 What do you feed neon gobies? I know they are cleaners in nature... also those trimma gobies are tiny I'm guessing these guys eat cyclopleeze, but what other prepared foods can they survive on? Link to comment
Phatboy Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 Awsome tank, great scape, and goby/pistol combos rawk the kittah box. Link to comment
