Drift Monkey Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 Thanks!! And yeah sometimes I wish I had a little extra height but so far I'm enjoying my shallow tank Thanks for the info too! You trying to convince me to get a 60-P instead? The shots from the new camera look really good, good work! Also had a quick question for you...are you using an ADA Garden Mat under the tank? Was thinking it might be a good idea to pick one up...not real sure if it's necessary though. Link to comment
doppelganger Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 I would just cut a yoga mat. Looks beautiful Schreiba!!! Link to comment

Drift Monkey Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 I would just cut a yoga mat. Eh, the Garden mat it like $11, probably as much as a yoga mat anyway... Link to comment

Haha no way The only time I think about it is when I think of when my SPS start growing vertically. And I'm not using a garden mat but I could see how it could help with support especially if it's only $11 I would just cut a yoga mat. Looks beautiful Schreiba!!! Thanks doppelganger! beaautiful tank!!! I have mangrove seeds like yours, mine are under MH and dont seem to be doing anything, I have only had them a few weeks tho. they feel soft? is that bad? not very green at the tip top either kinda browning Hmmm if they haven't sprouted roots yet I would probably say they're not going to at this point. But I've read they can take awhile to put out leaves so. I started with five but two didn't sprout so I just threw them out because I was worried they were dead and would start leaching things into the water. Link to comment
Drift Monkey Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 Does your lily inflow pipe look like this? I think I have a defective one, the inlet slits face towards the inside as you can see...the ones on their site show it facing out like: They're gonna have to end up shipping another set to me either way...both pipes came to me with small cracks in the glass...

Yeah the slits face that way on mine too so. But that sucks I'm sorry man. Did they ask you to send them back or are you just getting new ones sent out? at least you got yours :\ i waited patiently for like a month and finally emailed them to find out that they lost my shipment :\ Man that's rough. I ordered them off their actual website first and then found out it was fraudulent so it took me awhile to get mine too. Good luck getting them! Link to comment

Did they ask you to send them back or are you just getting new ones sent out? Weird, I wonder why they face towards the glass? Seems like a less efficient design.... They are just straight re-shipping them...not sure what they want me to do with the cracked ones yet. They came pretty quick though...about a week and I got 'em. Link to comment
Chris George Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 Beautiful tank man. Very inspiring. Link to comment

Yeah I kind of thought the same thing. But the floss in my canister has still been dirty so it's definitely working. That's awesome they came in quick though. When are you planning on setting up the tank? Beautiful tank man. Very inspiring. Thanks!! I'm excited to see you tank setup as well! Link to comment

ADG is having problems with their container getting through customs so I'll probably have to wait another week... Link to comment

Hopefully it won't be too much longer, you're probably dying to set it up. Still looking great! Thanks mighty! Link to comment
Chris L Posted April 28, 2011 Share Posted April 28, 2011 Very nice, will be following! Link to comment

I got all this shiny new equipment and no tank! I looked at more pictures of the aquaticmagic lily inflows, and it seems they are all like that...weird. I asked them about it, but I'm pretty sure I got a canned response. Link to comment

But yeah they seem to work well enough for me. Maybe one day down the line I'll get the ADA ones if I really feel like these ones aren't good enough anymore. Link to comment

They look good otherwise though man...I really would have a hard time droppin' $200 on some lily pipes... Link to comment
teamschreiba Posted May 1, 2011 Author Share Posted May 1, 2011 They look good otherwise though man...I really would have a hard time droppin' $200 on some lily pipes... Yeah there's no way I could spend that much on pipes. You could buy a whole new ADA tank for that much Link to comment
teamschreiba Posted May 5, 2011 Author Share Posted May 5, 2011 Here's a couple new shots with the new camera I accidentally broke these off when cleaning the glass so I want to see if I can grow them out. Link to comment
d'Espresso Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 Looks good! What type of camera you're using? Link to comment
teamschreiba Posted May 5, 2011 Author Share Posted May 5, 2011 Looks good! What type of camera you're using? A canon t3i with the 50mm macro lens. I want to start eventually making some videos too but I still need to learn a little more about video editing before I make a few. Link to comment
