fiction101 Posted March 17, 2010 Author Share Posted March 17, 2010 Please stop using your flash, thanks The tank looks fantastic by the way. I prefer flash, it shows the true colors of the corals. Also I'm not into the heavy actinic/blue led photo's. Link to comment
schgr.cube Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 I prefer flash, it shows the true colors of the corals. Also I'm not into the heavy actinic/blue led photo's. Adjust white balance after, you can work both of those issues out. Link to comment
fiction101 Posted March 19, 2010 Author Share Posted March 19, 2010 Just added my new MP10 today, it gives the tank a much cleaner look. Link to comment
myjohnson Posted March 19, 2010 Share Posted March 19, 2010 Pimp tank dude! I got a 45-f on impulse and been setting it up for a few months. I have cheapo lights on it, CF 72W (from my planted tank days). How is that LED treating your SPS? I'm thinking of getting two but don't know if they are worth the money cause maxspect has really competitive pricing right now. Link to comment

My SPS are doing great under leds, its my zoas and palys that don't seem to like it for some reason. They all seem to lose their colors and shrink up. I would go with MH over leds if possible.

fiction101 Posted March 22, 2010 Author Share Posted March 22, 2010 That sucks..What happened? I was removing old aquamend off the rocks and that's about it, I guess I mixed up a little bit of sand in the process but I didn't think it would shock my sps. Link to comment
eternal Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 So how did it turn out? Were you able to save your corals? Link to comment
fiction101 Posted March 28, 2010 Author Share Posted March 28, 2010 So how did it turn out? Were you able to save your corals? Just the zoas/palys, everything else bit the dust. Link to comment
eternal Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 Sorry to hear that. Hopefully you can get things going again Link to comment
Needreefunds Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 Just the zoas/palys, everything else bit the dust. Sorry fiction. Link to comment
bird Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 maybe there were dead spots behind the aqumend and in such a small tank the minuscule amount of hydrogen sulfide/anaerobic bacteria did the tank in. How much in square inches was removed? Sorry to hear it. Going to start again? you should run carbon or chemipur all the time I would think in a pico especially. Link to comment

Well I had my hand in my tank way too long, I should of removed a little at a time instead of all at once. Even when I was doing minor changes in my tank, my lps would freak out and get stressed. This is my latest tank an ADA 60-P. I'm just waiting on the bulbs for my tek light and then it should be good to go. Link to comment
Rehype Posted April 3, 2010 Share Posted April 3, 2010 Looks great Fic. Love the aquascape. Which bulbs did you decide on? Link to comment
fiction101 Posted April 3, 2010 Author Share Posted April 3, 2010 Looks great Fic. Love the aquascape. Which bulbs did you decide on? I went with 2 blue+, one fiji pink, and one aquablue special. This is what Grim recommended on the T5 thread over at reefcentral. Link to comment

schgr.cube Posted April 4, 2010 Share Posted April 4, 2010 Sexy. Are you doing a new tank thread? I would like to keep the link to your old one good just for a reference. Link to comment
fiction101 Posted April 4, 2010 Author Share Posted April 4, 2010 Sexy. Are you doing a new tank thread? I would like to keep the link to your old one good just for a reference. For sure, once I get my bulbs installed. Link to comment
schgr.cube Posted April 4, 2010 Share Posted April 4, 2010 For sure, once I get my bulbs installed. Sweeeeet. Sucks that this kind of stemmed from a ####ty situation, but I think it is going to look great. Link to comment
escaudio Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 Loved the last one, can't wait to see this one. Good luck! Link to comment
reefer123 Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 this looks awesome i like your rocks alot. what are your thoughts about a black background to hide the cords? jw cuz i wanna do an ADA mini m and dont know wether to paint or not Link to comment

I think the smaller ADA's look better with a clear background though. If you put all your equipment on one side of the tank you can zip tie them to the side and cover them with black tubing from homedepot. Link to comment
