boxboy Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 Yes its a good idea to not use light during cycle. or you would be growing unwanted stuff. everything looks good. Link to comment
Wai Ho Posted May 8, 2012 Author Share Posted May 8, 2012 Clean set up ho. Do you plan to use an ATO? I might Just get one and put it in the corner Its not too bad im just topping it up every 2 days.

The surface skim is also annoying me Yes its a good idea to not use light during cycle. or you would be growing unwanted stuff. everything looks good. Thanks for the comments still new to Reefing so every little helps Link to comment
neonstingray Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 Looks great. Since you have that on a similar carpet to mine, how easily does the tank and stand tilt forward when full of water? I'm considering attaching a wall-anchor to the back of mine for fear of it not being stable enough front-to-back on the carpet. Thanks! Austin Link to comment

As you can see lol my tank does have a slight tilt but the weight of the tank, sand and water keeps it very stable No need for a wall anchor! Link to comment

JR! Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 very cool crab. i might have to snag one if i can find one locally. Link to comment
Wai Ho Posted July 15, 2012 Author Share Posted July 15, 2012 Just a quick update the Wrasse and Crab have settled nicely! I just Cant wait to get my AI Vega or Sol when I have some money so I can add some nice corals. I plan to get a pair of Snow Flake Clowns and a red BTA, Also some other types of LPS. This was the first night the Wrasse was a bit shy, Spooky. Untitled by waikwonho, on Flickr Cant really get a decent pick with my Iphone and she keeps moving too fast. Untitled by waikwonho, on Flickr Crab Feeding Untitled by waikwonho, on Flickr They seem really lonely in my tank what type of Anemone should I get my Crab to host on? Link to comment
Deleted User 4 Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 Rose bubble tip anemone? Link to comment
Riotjock Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 Nice tank, but that wrasse is guaranteed to jump out - eventually. Check out liveaquaria before buying. They are pretty good about noting whether certain fish are jumpers or not. Link to comment
