ThePhilosopher Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 Very nice frags. Especially loving the Frogspawn. Is that a Nephthea at the very left? PS: My dog's name is Aiko. Not exactly your username I know, but I thought I'd point that out. Link to comment
Akiowalt Posted August 13, 2011 Author Share Posted August 13, 2011 Thanks. You are right, is Nephthea sp. Ow, Aiko is my friend's name Link to comment
ThePhilosopher Posted August 13, 2011 Share Posted August 13, 2011 I think Aiko's a lovely name either way. By the way, what lights are you using on this? Link to comment
Akiowalt Posted August 13, 2011 Author Share Posted August 13, 2011 I think Aiko's a lovely name either way. By the way, what lights are you using on this? Is just T5NO. So sorry to my coral. Unable to source for T5HO 24" in my LFS, however, I'm get ready my credit for PAR38. So far, I've been using these light for 2 years and coral growth. 2x24W 10k and 2 actinic blue. Link to comment

ThePhilosopher Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 Nice shots of your livestock. Would you mind if I asked what camera you're using and what settings you generally take these pictures on? Link to comment
Akiowalt Posted September 12, 2011 Author Share Posted September 12, 2011 Nikon D40X. With very high ISO. Of course, I prefer sun light refer than our indoor lighting. Clean the glass, setup a tripod, switch off the pump. Link to comment
Akiowalt Posted November 10, 2011 Author Share Posted November 10, 2011 Updated. The green hair algae never stop, and they keep on growing inside my tank. I run a lot of water change, however, useless. I assumption that the nitrate is the one that encourage the algae boom in my tank. After checking for the alternative, I decided to go for bare bottom tank. My old light was fall inside the tank omgomgomg And I get electric shock when I tried to save the tank and pulled the light out fortunately this didn't "pain". And I just bought a new light T5HO. LED is still very new in my country and the cost is going to kill me. Previously I thought of 150W metal halide. Since I'm going to plan for LED in near future, so I would like to go for T5 as replacement for my old light. Link to comment
Akiowalt Posted December 27, 2011 Author Share Posted December 27, 2011 Update 2012/12/27: New head: Anyone know how to fight with this bad algae? Link to comment
joeyhatch11 Posted December 27, 2011 Share Posted December 27, 2011 What kind of CUC do you have in there? I was getting a little more algae than I liked so I went and bought another 4 hermits and they went to town on the tank. If you have a CUC you just might not have enough members. Can also try cutting back on the amount of time the day lights are on a few hours a day. Reduce by 1-2 hours. Link to comment

Hermit crab is my only CUC in the tank. I discovered this algae once I introduced 24" T5HO. Too much light? I did cut off my light from 10 hours to 7 hours per day. Link to comment
