SouthFlorida_Tron Posted November 30, 2011 Author Share Posted November 30, 2011 How's your little guy doing? I actually was able to find one locally, guess they have had a waiting list on these guys for 6 months! I got my pick of 2 of them though! LOL Mine has found a hole and is currently hiding! But I see him pop his head out every few min to check out the area around him. He's good, he's still a bit iffy lol, going from hole to hole though, & his camp has eased up a bit so that tells me he is not as stressed! Link to comment
FlCandy Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 Good! Mine is getting braver already coming about 1/2 way out and checking the new world of his out. LOL Camo on mine is all gone already, IDK he seems very pleased! Think yours is smaller right? On the tiny size? Link to comment

Spirofucci Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 Tron...... I'm really likin' the new tank. I know you have a clam already, but you gotta see this because when I saw it, and right off the bat I immediately thought of you, this would be perfect! I was on Divers Den and looking at their "Deals and Steals" section and Lo and Behold.... I came across one of the most beautiful clam I've seen in a looong time: http://www.liveaquaria.com/diversden/ItemD...amp;ddid=136139 He is right. THIS IS A TRON CLAM. YOU MUST GET ONE. BTW, That midas is tronlike as well. Very cool. Link to comment
FlCandy Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 Everything in this tank is Tron-like! Love it! I think you should add that clam as well. Would look like a Information Disk from the movie in your tank. Link to comment

Not only did he chase the food around the shrimp & clowns, but then swam around! Link to comment

FlCandy Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 what do you think of extending the photoperiod a bit? ??? IDK I have upped it the last 3 days by an hour a day from 6 to 7 to 8 and 9 today. Tomorrow will be from 9-8 as I work at 10 and I am not sure I can get home at 1 to turn them on. But I need to get the lights on longer. After about 8 hours the Froggies poop and then go to sleep, So I was doing it slowly. What kind of time are you running you lights on? Link to comment

lfnieder Posted December 1, 2011 Share Posted December 1, 2011 Seriously , your tank is GREAT, and it's really like the one I want to build ,except for the back sump, which I want to be below the tank. Congratulations. I will take this evening to read all about your experiences with the SOL BLUE and other parameters. Link to comment
