Toothpik Posted September 22, 2009 Author Share Posted September 22, 2009 thanks david. im gettin new stuff next week such as a 30+ polyp fire and ice zoo colony Link to comment
Jacobnano Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 Sweet! post some pics of the new set-up. You will love the halide, make sure you start it pretty high then lower it so you don't stress everyhitng out. Also, check your temps until you know what it usually stays at. My 5.5g stays at about 84 lol. Link to comment
Toothpik Posted September 23, 2009 Author Share Posted September 23, 2009 i will as soon as its set up! i plan on using window screens to dim the lighting intensity and then remove some one every week and ill watch the temp thanks jacob for the advice Link to comment
Jacobnano Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 Haha ya. You might have to run your tank a little warm like me. But ehh they seem to have adjusted to my 84 degrees lol. Ya window screens might be easier lolz Link to comment
Toothpik Posted September 23, 2009 Author Share Posted September 23, 2009 yup and you know how my rics were on the sand bed? I super glued them to the rock but i didnt space them out but rics dont sting each other they just like fold over or expand over each other so i think im ok Link to comment

kristoffer Posted September 23, 2009 Share Posted September 23, 2009 Nice tank! (and...err... nice room. ;P) I just received my and light today and am going to set it up this weekend. Following along! Link to comment
Toothpik Posted September 23, 2009 Author Share Posted September 23, 2009 lol its so messy bc the living room is being redone( wall torn down to make a counter top for kitchen) so once everything is done, my room will be clean again haha with the new tank set up...the tank will be moved on the stand and hang a 70 watt MH over it. Kristoffer-good to hear you got your tank and your light! Good luck setting everything up, once it gets going its fun finding things to stock it up. And once you get your thread going I will follow along with yours Link to comment
