TheUnfocusedOne Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Christmas season burned your funds? You had no one to buy gifts for any you know it. I doubt that tiger goby is ORA. Probably a chinese knockoff imo. Link to comment

btanno Posted February 6, 2012 Share Posted February 6, 2012 this tank looks pretty sick! gonna do a mini s with a par30 too. im still planning out my other equipment options. btw how high is the bulb above the water? Link to comment
Justind823 Posted February 10, 2012 Author Share Posted February 10, 2012 Hey thanks! The bulb is ~5" above the water and `12" off the sandbed. Link to comment
Justind823 Posted February 10, 2012 Author Share Posted February 10, 2012 Finally set up the rodi system I had sitting around. SO that means no more going to the LFS to refill That also means I had to buy a salt mix. I ended up going with this new one. Anyone had experience with it yet? I started acclimating the tank to it yesterday with a small water change. Link to comment

Justind823 Posted February 16, 2012 Author Share Posted February 16, 2012 The salt seems to be working well. No complaints anyway... FTS. I still don't have a new camera but I'm working with what I have (phone camera) With a little editing this is the best I can get. I got rid of that blue mushroom rock. I felt it was taking away from the scape. The mushrooms have already spread around the tank so I won't miss the rock. I got some store credit and with it I got a nice sized birdsnest frag and a 2 polyped paly frag. No picture of those yet! Link to comment
Justind823 Posted February 17, 2012 Author Share Posted February 17, 2012 Oh hey look at that! This tank is 5 months old as of yesterday Link to comment
Asureef Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 I had a very bad experience with that salt, still have 2/3 bucket left. Glad it's working for you and the tank looks nice. Link to comment

Uh oh... what kind of bad experience?? Haha I just got done doing a water big water change with it. Thanks for the compliment! Link to comment
Asureef Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 Uh oh... what kind of bad experience?? Haha I just got done doing a water big water change with it. Thanks for the compliment! No idea what was wrong, but while using this salt, all my montiporas lost color and had a chalky appearance. I lost a few good pieces before switching salt brand. Also, this salt for me left a brownish clay-like residue after mixing. I like to keep my tank alk. level at 8-9dkh, RSCP mixes at 12-14dkh. One thing I do like about RSCP is the consistency and it mixes fast. Right now, I'm back to using Instant Ocean. My corals liked it before as much as they do now, so I'm sticking with it. Unlikely you will have the same experience. Link to comment

Justind823 Posted February 18, 2012 Author Share Posted February 18, 2012 Ohhhhh nevermind then. Well thanks for your input. I have a cap in my tank so I'll keep an eye on it but so far so good. Link to comment
Justind823 Posted February 20, 2012 Author Share Posted February 20, 2012 Well I had to get rid of my three sexy shrimp yesterday. They had a taste for fuzzy sticks that could not be satisfied with any number of pellet feedings. They will be missed... I got my store credit from my LFS so I ordered a Pederson's anemone shrimp. I've wanted one of these for awhile so I'm super excited for it to come in. Link to comment
