FlCandy Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 Nice! I like both scapes, but the second gives you way more open space. Link to comment
HiImSean Posted December 2, 2011 Author Share Posted December 2, 2011 did a parameter test today temp - 79* sg - 1.021 (a bit low, got the water from a LFS. guess i'll have to add some more salt or find another store) pH - 8.2 nitrates - 0ppm nitrites - .8ppm ammonia - ~.10ppm Link to comment
HiImSean Posted December 6, 2011 Author Share Posted December 6, 2011 i've been topping off with a SW mix instead of RODI and slowly the sg is coming up, its at 1.023 now. i purchased a bucket of Red Sea Coral Pro and plan on mixing my own next time. last night i picked up a ball of chaeto and tossed it in the fuge. im not sure if it had much life in it so i may just dump in a bottle of pods so they can start populating before adding any fish. CUC to come this weekend Link to comment
Ezsharkman Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 looking great! love the scape! Link to comment
HiImSean Posted December 8, 2011 Author Share Posted December 8, 2011 JBJ ATO came in today. salinity is slowly coming up. i mixed some water to 1.027, my tank is still 1.023. this weekend im going to get my CUC. i may grab a frag too, a LFS has had some digitata and they're going quickly. i asked how much and the said $10, its about 2.5" unmounted green with orange polyps. i'm also pretty sure i've decided on a tailspot blenny, my LFS regularly has them for $20. i've got my MP10ES laying around for my cube build that im thinking of placing in here would i be crazy to do this?

HiImSean Posted December 10, 2011 Author Share Posted December 10, 2011 Yay I picked up a small CUC, I'm planning on a few more. I also got a 2-3" digitata frag, looks like a forest fire digitata, for $10 Link to comment

devilsadvocate Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 nice pico. scape is very awesome! Link to comment
HiImSean Posted December 13, 2011 Author Share Posted December 13, 2011 Thanks devil Unfortunately the free frag pack didn't work out, someone offered some money and the seller took it. I am going to pick up a few hammer heads this week Link to comment
HiImSean Posted December 13, 2011 Author Share Posted December 13, 2011 just tested Mg - 1315 ppm Link to comment
HiImSean Posted December 14, 2011 Author Share Posted December 14, 2011 hammer is in it looks awesome under the LEDs. im picking up some acans tonight. pics to come tomorrow when i put the lights back on Link to comment
HiImSean Posted December 15, 2011 Author Share Posted December 15, 2011 the hammer is doing awesome in the tank. last night i had a 2.5hr journey to get a nice 15+ head acan frag and a nice Garf bonsai frag. i moved the digitata a little further back in the tank. i'll prolly move the Garf up a little higher after a few days and move the acan out from the semi shaded spot. i also noticed a little star on my glass today :cool: Link to comment
Alkamist Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 Nice dude the garf bonsai is one of my favorite sps, they grow quickly under the right conditions. How are you likening the red sea coral pro salt? Link to comment
HiImSean Posted December 15, 2011 Author Share Posted December 15, 2011 so far so good with the RSCP. it's easy and clean to mix. all my parameters are looking good with it. i was just using LFS brewed water before and im sure this is much better Link to comment
HiImSean Posted December 15, 2011 Author Share Posted December 15, 2011 the acan's are looking even happier! Link to comment
