brandolando4 Posted May 12, 2011 Author Share Posted May 12, 2011 I'm preparing everything for my tank move on friday morning, this is going to be a stressful day. So I move my tank on friday and i leave for hawaii on saturday. What should I tell my girlfriend to look for in the first couple of days?? Should I tell her to do a water change like on sunday just in case??? Link to comment
brandolando4 Posted May 15, 2011 Author Share Posted May 15, 2011 Moved the tank yesterday, I just got a call from my gf she said everything is open and doing fine!! Now I have to wait for my next flight, this is my 3rd connection, but I'm almost home I'm in Maui! So I'm close!! Link to comment

Spencer7 Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 All corals seem awesome, im always am impressed with the BioCubes here Im more of a custom man myself Link to comment
brandolando4 Posted January 12, 2012 Author Share Posted January 12, 2012 Now that I actually understand reef keeping more I would love to customize my own tank. The main reason I got this tank because I was living in the dorms! Anyway some updates: I got a JBJ Nano Glo for my fuge, because my DIY one sucked! ordered the Dimmable biocube retrofit from RapidLed, 5 CW and 7 RB Ordered a JBJ ATO Thanks, Brandon Link to comment
11GTCS Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Hey I'm thinking of getting a nano set up in my dorm this semester. Got any advice? How doable is moving the tank home for summer and what not? Thanks! Now that I actually understand reef keeping more I would love to customize my own tank.

brandolando4 Posted January 13, 2012 Author Share Posted January 13, 2012 It's very do able, its a pain in the ass, and you risk killing off some livestock. But it is very doable if you have the patience and the money. None of my livestock died when I was moving the tank, 2 hours south. However when my gf watched my tank all summer she killed pretty much everything. I'll answer any questions you have just respond back on this thread!! Thanks, Brandon Link to comment
brandolando4 Posted January 21, 2012 Author Share Posted January 21, 2012 I built the LEDs and the colors are amazing, corals pop like crazy. Fish are bright. Pictures in the morning!! Link to comment
brandolando4 Posted January 22, 2012 Author Share Posted January 22, 2012 LEDs are awesome, everything is still getting used to the new lights and the addition of the new powerhead. Pictures taken with my new toy the Nikon J1 with macro filters. (Still playing with it to get the best pictures) Here are some pictures. FTS 1/22/2012 Neon green Trumpet, looks awesome New clownfish, hopefully he will make it. My cardinal fish (FUGLY, my GF picked him because he is so ugly!)

brandolando4 Posted January 25, 2012 Author Share Posted January 25, 2012 Anyone have any good suggestions for next additions?? I would love to do some nice SPS, or a RBTA or a clam. Suggestions?? My LEDS should be able to support anything!! In theory!! Link to comment
11GTCS Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 Back again! Got an 8g aquarium with LEDs... going to start cycling it this week if I can. lets hope it works out! Anyway... I vote clam! I saw some gorgeous ones today at the store and it was a blast to watch the little hermits get blasted off the mantle when they tried to climb on... Anyone have any good suggestions for next additions?? I would love to do some nice SPS, or a RBTA or a clam. Suggestions?? My LEDS should be able to support anything!! In theory!! Link to comment
