hooligan_78 Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 Tank looks great. Blacking out the lights will work, but unless you figure out the source of the cyano and dyno, will keep coming back. More flow can help limit their ability to attach. Also, if you have a Michael's or Hobby Lobby nearby, get some of the crochet mesh to make strainers for your overflows...will keep fish from going down them! Did you keep your lids on? If not, an eggcrate wall along the back the length of the tank and height of the canopy will keep in the potenial jumpers. Link to comment
vash028 Posted May 4, 2012 Author Share Posted May 4, 2012 Well the dyno went away with black out and 4 straight days of doing at least 5 gallon water changes and on 2 of the days i did 10 gallon water changes. Along with him out of the sump but he is totally hiding lol. Link to comment
jprime84 Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 Have you been happy with the led kit? Which kit did you get? Link to comment
vash028 Posted May 15, 2012 Author Share Posted May 15, 2012 Ya I like the kit alot which I got the meanwhiles or what ever there called the ones that aren't gold. They can be placed on a dimmer for better control and I have the 72 50/50 CW and NW and them 50/50 B and RB along with 4 UVs for a total of 72. I just don't like my drivers all that much but hey they work so if it's not broke don't fix it. Link to comment
vash028 Posted May 16, 2012 Author Share Posted May 16, 2012 Well pretty big update here to me. I traded my 3 BoostLed bulbs and arms for 100 cash and a 2 little fishes phosban reactor along with 2 shrooms one red and another green and a 15 head frogspawn pretty pumped about it. Also was out of town in Bowling Green KY and while i was there on my last day soped by there LFS and picked up a bright blue and dark purple shroom about 3 inches across for 6 bucks. Ill have some sweet pics tomorrow. Link to comment
vash028 Posted May 17, 2012 Author Share Posted May 17, 2012 Here are some pics after moving some of my corals this is my mushroom tree My torch and another frogspawn My awesome bubble My new frogspawn from the trade love it bit man its big and i might have to cut some of the arms for better placement but right now its in a good spot. I have it at the top of my tank and im wondering if thats gonna hurt it since its under 3 watt LEDs i dont have them at 100% prob around 60 or 70%? And here is the shot of the left side all together Still working on some extra cash for a camera so right now my phone will have to do. Link to comment
vash028 Posted May 17, 2012 Author Share Posted May 17, 2012 Well decided to lower my new frog to the bottom and super-glued the base of the frog to a larger rock. ill place it tomorrow since i made it mad and hurt it a little i think:( couldnt get a good grip so its gonna lose some of its bubbles on a few heads but will live and its not gonna be any smaller woot.

vash028 Posted June 3, 2012 Author Share Posted June 3, 2012 Well i finally pulled the trigger on a LTA its a corkscrew anemone. Its about 9 inches across so good size and its been 24 hours and its got alot of its tan color back and has been in the same spot since i did a PVC base hole for its base to anchor in so finger crossed. Gonna post pics in the next few days want to make sure he is staying there first. Link to comment

vash028 Posted July 11, 2012 Author Share Posted July 11, 2012 Well been a bit first off LTA was taken back to he LFS he was movin to much. So got store credit and decided on 2 yellow clown gobies and a jaw fish who has managed to get in my overflow area so a trap is in place now. Here is a pic from my phone of one of the YCG. Thanks for looking! Link to comment
vash028 Posted July 23, 2012 Author Share Posted July 23, 2012 Well got great news the jaw fish made its way through the my overflow to my sump and into the return chamber where I caught him and placed in the display area. He has since settled in and started work on his new home. Also the clown gobies are sleeping in my frogspawn and hammer so they are doing great. Nothing has changed so pics will be coming soon.

vash028 Posted September 6, 2012 Author Share Posted September 6, 2012 Ok so I was curious with my tank if 2 MP10s would be a good fit with my aqua scape that's the same as in the pics? I want to put one on the back and one on the opposite side of the return. I have mostly LPS and want to get the motion that the MP 10s can give I want the rocking back and forth. Link to comment
