Okay, here's a first... well for me anyway.

Yesterday I watched one of my large Blue hermits eat one of my Zoanthus polyps, This morning he was back in the same place and two more were partially eaten.

I also noticed that most of the yellow polyps were pulled off that same part of the rock and were

in the filter floss.

I tossed him out. Have you guys ever heard of this happening?

a polyp of what? I dont think i have ever seen or heard of a hermit eating corals, but anything is poss in this hobby. i am surprised that so many ppl have noise issues w their RIO6HF's. mine is a silent as a stealth bomber and I have had it for years now. wonder if they changed something or what

Unless you are committed to cleaning the blue sponge very regularly......ditch it. It will just cause nitrate problems. I just run filter floss in the top of the media rack and change it every couple days.

 

Tank looks sweet. :D

I switched over to full LED this weekend.

They are by Unique and are called Prism.

Supposed to be equal to 150MH .... it sure looks like it and the light color is very good too.

I'll get some pics of the lighting up here ASAP.

Beautiful pics. Keep them coming :)

 

EDIT. The pic of the RG was stunning!

 

yeah, I like him. Although it looks real grumpy, its a really friendly fish.

These are the lights I got:

I got one of each, the one with adjustable color and one one without.

Hey they had a 20% off sale on all dry goods.... couldn't control myself.

I also bought two more BC 29's One with the MH light and one more

PC hood version. I'll use the second LED fitting on the new PC tank.

I like the way it looks on the first one.

Of course now I have no money to get the two new tanks set up :D

Although I have about 40lb of live rock curing and being de-aptasiaed

in the one new one, I also have enough sand for at least one of them.

I'll set up the MH verion first.... I think.
