Thank you. I just hope they grow in well. Only time will tell though. Anyone know if the Anenome's on the Pom Pom crab will sting corals? Link to comment
BGJ223 Posted April 4, 2012 Author Share Posted April 4, 2012 More progress. Cut a hole in an acrylic bracket to mount a fan over the AC-70. This will be controlled by the RKL to help bring the temp down. RKL comes tomorrow, hopefully I will have a chance to test it then. Link to comment
Cheese-Lover Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 I was thinking about doing a platty also, but they are kinda bland. Plattys don't go over SG0.015, Same as Swordtails. Mollys do. But they get too big. Guppies do. But do you really want a guppy in a marine tank? Pinned up against the glass all the time... >.> Link to comment

Unless, you think Endlers Live Bearers would convert over? The way you are building your aquascape is impressive! Keep up the nice work! Thank you Sir!! I just hope everything fills in, in a timely fashion. Link to comment
BGJ223 Posted April 4, 2012 Author Share Posted April 4, 2012 (I guess I posted this yesterday but forgot the pic, I am losing it) I did a little more work on the tank last night. I mounted a fan in a piece of Acrylic that will be mounted to the wall over my AC-70. This will be controlled by my RKL to come on when temp reaches 79 degrees. This is just a temp fitting for now. So the RKL will be controlling. Heater Fan Lights Moon Lights Also, I added a switch to my ATO. This allows me to turn it off when I do a water change. Worked like a champ yesterday. Link to comment

Unless, you think Endlers Live Bearers would convert over? *Sigh* Yes, Endlers do convert over very well. However mine have always found the smallest hole to jump out of... Next thing you are going to say you want a male endler, bumblebee goby and black sun coral... (My stocking plans. >.> ) Link to comment
BGJ223 Posted April 4, 2012 Author Share Posted April 4, 2012 I can promise I won't do sun coral. Lol Link to comment

hirschy75 Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 I believe the top unknown sps starts with an h but can't remember the exact name, we just got some into our shop today Link to comment
BGJ223 Posted April 8, 2012 Author Share Posted April 8, 2012 Thanks everyone for the compliments . Now I am on the hunt for a shrimp our two to put in this thing. I can't find any small fish locally that I would like to add, so the tank will only be inverts probably. Link to comment
BGJ223 Posted April 9, 2012 Author Share Posted April 9, 2012 I believe the top unknown sps starts with an h but can't remember the exact name, we just got some into our shop today I think it is echinata Link to comment
gimptastic matt Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 Ahh 2 porcelain crabs are they a male and female? Link to comment
BGJ223 Posted April 9, 2012 Author Share Posted April 9, 2012 Not a clue. I just know they are crabs Link to comment
BGJ223 Posted April 11, 2012 Author Share Posted April 11, 2012 Order a new LED driver. Going to run the LEDs at 350MA and see how I like it. Polyp extension is very short when the lights are on, and I am hoping less light intensity will help things a little. Link to comment
BGJ223 Posted April 11, 2012 Author Share Posted April 11, 2012 Also, I added a Tiny Birdsnest Frag, a Small unknown SPS frag, and a tiny Porites Frag. Not much room for anything else in this tank, unless I can find some small stuff to attach to the bottom area of the rocks. Link to comment
