Criley7 Posted January 19, 2012 Author Share Posted January 19, 2012 Pics?!?!?! I want to see this blasto colony - I have an obsession with blastos and acans, and must have them lol If they acclimate to the light and open fully I'll post pics tomorrow. Well, I'm an expert, lol, my tanks is 8 week old. But, I'd still think about it. Lol thanks for the input. Always welcome. Link to comment
Deckoz2302 Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Hey criley - the vortech sponges are nice for catching food/keeping inhabitants from getting sucked in. I throw mine in the washer without anything with my return and reactor pump spongest along with my filter sock to clean them weekly - just a little tidbit. Before you take them out to clean them so you don't scratch your glass with a magfloat, I use the vortech sponges to clean the glass/scrub down by the sand and they make great glass scrubbers haha. Scape looks good man Also try taking some reefputty and build up a little mound between the live rock and glass to keep your rock from accidently nicking or scratching the glass should you ever decide to rescape or whatnot Link to comment

Criley7 Posted January 20, 2012 Author Share Posted January 20, 2012 New yellow tang was out today. He seems very happy. Here is the 100+ head colony of Blastos that I picked up yesterday for $99 Link to comment
Criley7 Posted January 20, 2012 Author Share Posted January 20, 2012 Wow! That is a deal! Yes it is!! I couldn't leave the LFS without it. Link to comment
iball1804 Posted January 20, 2012 Share Posted January 20, 2012 Sorry I'm late on the glass vs. scape question! As it passed you pushing test, I'm sure it can support anything else. You'll be fine. But be wary of detritus and dead zones back there, along with the fact that your glass cleaner can't get back there. Link to comment

You'll be fine. But be wary of detritus and dead zones back there, along with the fact that your glass cleaner can't get back there. I actually have a JBJ Oceanstream behind the rock scape so it pushes all detritus back out to the front of the tank. And I also have an opening in the scape that I can get my mag float In between to clean most of the glass behind the scape. I was trying to think everything one step ahead with this set up. What do you think about my new set up iball? Link to comment

urbaneks Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Wow, that is a huge Blastos. I can't believe the LFS did not frag that out in order to make more $ from it. Looks like things are progressing nicely for you and this tank. Are you loving the light? I've heard nothing but great things about it. Link to comment

But they were like 5 heads for $45 and the colony was tucked in the back and they had a small sign saying $99. Their loss is my gain tho haha. And thanks, your tank is sick too! I love the light! The colors are so crisp. I would recommend the Radion to everyone! Link to comment
Asureef Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 This tank looks great and nice pick up on those blastos. Mine is a very slow grower. Link to comment

I won't mind if the colony grows slow it's already huge. When I gets a little bigger I will have to frag it so it doesn't out grow the spot I put it in. Link to comment
