Jasoncgnu Posted August 30, 2009 Author Share Posted August 30, 2009 Looks great, can't wait for the rest of your pics Thank you! Well I found some time to post some pics. I know they arn't great but I've never had much luck taking tank pics. It might also be the fact that I am using a crappy 4 year old digital camera but regardless I think you get the idea. Enjoy! Here's the RBTA in my main display. Yes it's killing my monti! I've tried to remove it but its foot is so deep into the rockwork that it's impossible. This is the nem in the sump that split off about a month ago. Here is my candy cane. When I bought this half of the heads were bleached and as you can see its made a full recovery. You can also see a neat purple sponge that is growing on the skeleton. Macro shot my frogspawn. This pics doesn't do it justice at all. It's not a green morph but it does have a cool flourecent green tint where the tissue is thicker. Not sure if that is normal but I still like it! Finally, a strange macro algae that just appeared in my tank. Anyone have any clue what it might be? Link to comment
cruiZe Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 I like the idea of having them connected for more stability, I think you can clean up the look of the plumbing/ hide it and be just fine. cool idea ! Link to comment
BlueAbyss Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 It really is a great idea, I'm adding a 10 gallon to my 10 gallon system soon based on this Jason, I think that macro is the beginnings of Grape Caulerpa. It looks really neat, takes well to heavy thinning, and is great for nutrient export... it also can go 'sexual' if stressed, but you can avoid this with heavy thinning. You can keep it under light 24/7 to avoid this also (great for nutrient export, as I said). IMO, either get rid of it (if you don't like it) ASAP, or thin it heavily every couple weeks.

Yea I've considered building a false wall or something similar to hide it but overall the pipes are not that noticable with the light on the second tank. Plus I'm lazy and the tanks are in my room so I'm pretty much the only person who looks at them all the time.

I was kinda thinking the same thing. It hasn't been growing that fast so I might just leave it and keep it pruned. Link to comment
Jasoncgnu Posted September 1, 2009 Author Share Posted September 1, 2009 After literally months of waiting my main tank is finally anemone free! I just glanced at my tank as I was heading to bed and I noticed that the BTA in the main tank was in the process of moving. It was between rocks when I grabbed it and so I was able to peel the foot off and toss it into my sump. I hope I didn't damage it in the process but I guess I won't know until at least tomorrow. It looks like it already grabbed onto the rocks and it's not completely deflated so I'm at least optomistic that it will be fine. Link to comment
Jasoncgnu Posted September 5, 2009 Author Share Posted September 5, 2009 New toys today! I just recieved two new MJ1200s to help increase the flow in my tanks. I also got a 5 gal bucket of seachem salt and 1kg containers of suppliments. I'm set for a while now! Link to comment
SemiAverage711 Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 I have seen Jason's setup in person. Honestly, you don't even notice the plumbing or any equipment in the back. I had to think back to this thread to actually look at it. They are nice tanks. BTW Jason, my tank is ready for some stocking. Ill shoot you a pm. Link to comment

gabe3eb Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 Born and raise in Indiana here :-). Go IU! Tanks look cool. It pisses me off when I see people say things like "FUGLY". Especially when I look at their cookie-cutter tanks and fall asleep . Hehe, keep doing your thing and keep the updates coming. Link to comment
