swayd Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 Hahaha, you have a sump right? If so, then it doesnt matter too much. Just melt a piece of acrylic to hang it on at a desired depth and super glue the water level sensor to it. Not too difficult, especially since I was able to do it lol. I have the link if you would like it. Nice text me, I think I still have your numero de telefono lol. Link to comment
altolamprologus Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 Lol oops forgot about that xD Not used to having sumps on my own tanks I'm just worried about overflowing the display :/ Maybe I should just make the return chamber smaller..but then evap will be more annoying... In the very rare event that your overflow does stop, it is highly unlikely you will be there in the 30 seconds it will take to fill up the tank and overflow. Make the return chamber smaller and get an ato. You should probably get the ATO anyway since you won't be there a week at a time. Link to comment

Sorry, I was talking about a DIY ATO In the very rare event that your overflow does stop, it is highly unlikely you will be there in the 30 seconds it will take to fill up the tank and overflow. Make the return chamber smaller and get an ato. You should probably get the ATO anyway since you won't be there a week at a time. Exactly! I wanted room in the display for extra water, I'd rather have a pump running dry instead of a flooded room I was hoping to be able to not have to use an ATO :/ I'll see how my sump turns out Link to comment
yoshii Posted November 19, 2011 Author Share Posted November 19, 2011 Sorry for the lack of updates guys, this week has been pretty busy, but now that's it's Thanksgiving break I can work on the sump and such Link to comment

Lol, but won't you already have pineapples? Anyways, as far as tank updates, the tank has some algae :/ my overflow is fun my dad is paranoid about flooding. So I haven't decided what size baffles and how big the return pump chamber should be Oh and my dad is like overly excited about getting corals so he got some Nuclear Greens and a combo zoa rock today Link to comment
Squared Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 pics, or your zoas turn to mush. also, i keep my waterlevel like way above the black trim, almost touching the overhanging lip. not a big deal. Link to comment

yoshii Posted November 20, 2011 Author Share Posted November 20, 2011 pics, or your zoas turn to mush. also, i keep my waterlevel like way above the black trim, almost touching the overhanging lip. not a big deal. lights are out, I'll try to get some tomorrow Well in my tank there is a center brace which is below the rim/lip, so when I fill the water up higher (which had too) the water touches the braces (pretty annoying) Link to comment
Squared Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 oh...well at least my tank dosn't have a brace! wut cuc you got? Link to comment
yoshii Posted November 20, 2011 Author Share Posted November 20, 2011 Actually no cuc right now, I need to pick up some snails and hermits this week Link to comment
SWAG Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 The pics of the clownfish are old, so the water isn't cloudy like this anymore Female One of the corals I got was this cool little mushroom (here under actinics) But it still looks equally bright under regular light kinda seem stupid for asking but what kind of clowns are those? Link to comment
yoshii Posted November 20, 2011 Author Share Posted November 20, 2011 Nah, a lot of people ask I've seen them under two names, "Mocha Clowns" (supposed to to be a b&w x regular ocellaris) or an SA "Fancy Ocellaris" (supposed to be a regular occy just bred with tons more black) But I just call them Mochas Link to comment

Yeah both "Mochas" and "SA Fancys" look they same when they are young, they just look a funny darker orange color, they take a long time to develop more black, in fact my male is still getting blacker (I think this is why they are not very popular) Link to comment
Euphyllia Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 I did a bunch of research on this stuff because it was driving me nuts not knowing what my clowns were. Mine are exactly the same at Yoshii's and the president of Sustainable Aquatics told me personally that my clowns are SA Fancy Ocellaris. Since Yoshii's looks just like mine, I would guess her's are as well. Apparently the SA Fancy Ocellaris have no Black Ocellaris in their lineage, according to Matt Carberry, president of SA. We had a short convo on RC about this stuff a while back. Mocha clowns are usually either brown or 75%+ black. Mocha SA Fancy Link to comment

yoshii Posted November 20, 2011 Author Share Posted November 20, 2011 I got mine from a friend so idk where it came from I think they are the same thing Link to comment

Mocha SA Fancy i cant tell which ones mines are. they're still really tiny,hopefully more color starts to appear soon so i can get a positive ID. Link to comment
yoshii Posted November 20, 2011 Author Share Posted November 20, 2011 Euphy, where did buy your clowns from? (What store) Link to comment
1.0reef Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 Euphy, where did buy your clowns from? (What store) nice job! I'm in the bay area so extras can go to me to! Link to comment
yoshii Posted November 21, 2011 Author Share Posted November 21, 2011 Cool! Another bay area reefer So as far as the tank goes, it's going through a bit of a yucky algea stage... and btw I'm planning something so the overflow/aqua lifter won't stick out so much But there's a ton of little Cladonema jellies on the front glass, cool to watch, I love it when they appear in my tanks Link to comment
altolamprologus Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 The tank's looking good. I love the pic of the jellies Link to comment
yoshii Posted November 21, 2011 Author Share Posted November 21, 2011 Thanks I'll probably set up my quarantine tank this week (next fish = firefish) and glue the baffles for the sump oh and I need to put the screen top together I'm hoping the jellies will be there long enough so I can see some larger adults!

altolamprologus Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 Yay firefish! Are you going to try for a pair? Link to comment
