metrokat Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 You know I made a straw scape for my first tank? I was building supports out of PVC for a ledge structure so I mocked it up with straws. Quote Link to comment

Arkayology Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 Roger, I called Alex at ecotech marine and he told me that along with the LED upgrade, the gen1 radions will have a lot of the internal components replaced, including the fan, but the outside case and buttons will remain the same. I plan on buying the gen1 to gen3 upgrade tomorrow when they are available. Quote Link to comment

BigRed10 Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 Ooohhh another tank? Well you've peaked my interest. How's everything else doin? The older colonies lookin better? Quote Link to comment
TheKleinReef Posted February 2, 2014 Author Share Posted February 2, 2014 Ooohhh another tank? Well you've peaked my interest. How's everything else doin? The older colonies lookin better? i'd take one tank down if i got a new one. i'd rather not say how the coral are doing, i don't wanna jynx it. lol colonies i moved to the frag tank look amazing. they're getting better color/PE by the day. i took a chance and moved some frags from the frag tank to this tank. a nice slow acclimation should keep the risk down. i rearranged the scape. i'm gonna let the tank clear up before pics though. i aslo went to the LFS and let my mom pick out some corals. she picked a nice 2.5" pink ricordea yuma, and a nuclear green torch with purple tips. she's got good taste in LPS that's for sure. 2 Quote Link to comment

BigRed10 Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 I've got some lax games to work in Schaumburg this afternoon. I think I may have to head up there early and check out BTR. Quote Link to comment
TheKleinReef Posted February 2, 2014 Author Share Posted February 2, 2014 I've got some lax games to work in Schaumburg this afternoon. I think I may have to head up there early and check out BTR. do it. i still think reefwise is a tad better since they have ORA and all of the zoanthids, and awesome fish, but if you like maricultured acro colonies for $45 then BTR is the place to go hahah Quote Link to comment

VABumpkin Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 Just don't move to quickly with the yumas. They surprisingly have a high mortality rate. A lot of people say you should acclimate them very slowly to lighting. You may want to move yours into a shaded area until it starts reaching for light, at which point you can move it up. You should wait to see how this one does after a few weeks and try another. Quote Link to comment

VABumpkin Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 Some people have said they fair well with highly aerated water as well but I'm not sure how accurate that claim is. Quote Link to comment
