pschom Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 Nice pics. I really like gsp. Usually grows like a weed (as mine is doing) but it looks really cool and adds movement to the tank. What I don't like is leathers. Which is unfortunate because its brainless, but it grows huge and smothers other things. Keep it up. Looks good. Do you think you have good flow in there? I always had an issue finding the right flow in my BC29. Link to comment
gena Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 Pulsing xenia will forever amaze me. It's so cool!!!! Those Woodstock yellow polyps are so perfectly named Good luck with the rearranging Link to comment

So, I turn it on only for a few hours at a time. Also, the flow from the fuge helps move the water. Pulsing xenia will forever amaze me. It's so cool!!!! Those Woodstock yellow polyps are so perfectly named :)Good luck with the rearranging Those Woodstock yellow polyps are my Hubby's favorite. I think they are so cute too. Link to comment
eitallent Posted February 28, 2013 Author Share Posted February 28, 2013 Hot in from the MyAtlantis presses: The reef god decided to rearrange the world, causing much consternation among the Atlantians. Skipper was lost for a day and had no idea where it was safe to perch. Karloff, the Peppermint shrimp, found it very interesting that there were many more caves in which to lurk. The Duncan family are really angry at reef god and decided to lock their doors and have not come out yet.To every one's surprise a new resident named Marty Feldman, a Sixline Wrasse, showed up wearing his striped pajamas and started poking his nose into everything! Here is video footage at the scene (best watched in HD): PS Video embed function is not working like it used to. ?? Link to comment
eitallent Posted February 28, 2013 Author Share Posted February 28, 2013 The video links did not work as usual but here is the new FTS (hopefully this will work ) Link to comment
Spirofucci Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 Looking purdy in there! Where's Mr. Feldman? Love that name! My sixline is named Throckmorton. Link to comment
pschom Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 Pppffff Throckmorton. WTH. Hey have you ever thought about getting 1-2 blue led strips to make things pop out a bit? I know your waiting on a larger tank. Link to comment

Marty Feldman makes an appearance in the video. Let me try again and see if it embeds this time. Yay! The video embedded! Pppffff Throckmorton. WTH. Hey have you ever thought about getting 1-2 blue led strips to make things pop out a bit? I know your waiting on a larger tank. Yes I am thinking about it. I looked at some DIY kits to fit the JBJ 12 NanoCube. They are mighty proud of those things the pricing seems high to me. What LED light would you go with for this tank? Anyone? Link to comment

pschom Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 You could go with blue stunner strips, or Current sells pretty much the same thing. I've been using stunner strips for a while to supplement blue (I have a version of the AI SOL that has less blue than others). They are great and practically waterproof. Dropped a couple in on accident. Just stick it on, plug it in and watch the magic happen. You will see a pretty large increase in color. Link to comment

I am also shopping for 2 - 27" maxspect razors 160w for my 125 g so the budget is tiiiight! Not having as much much money as I want to spend on tanks stinks! Link to comment
gena Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 Loved the video!!!! Such a pretty song too. How are you keeping an mp10 on your back wall? And where did you get your gorgs. I love those!!!! Are they photosynthetic? Link to comment
Scorched Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 Sweet video, you even used the same song a local reef club friend used for his tank. Link to comment

I love those!!!! Are they photosynthetic? Thank you, I am glad you liked it. Gena, I have noticed that you are very observant! You notice everything. That is a Koralia 240 so I can put it on the back. It is working out well in that spot. The gorgs are not photosynthetic. They are extending their polyps every time I feed baby brine shrimp and/or Oyster feast. They love the current of the Koralia and fluff up when it comes on. I will be moving them to the 125 g when it is ready. I like hatching out bbs so much that I have decided to culture phytoplankton to feed the small eaters. Wish me luck! I am really happy with the way the rockscape turned out. There are a lot more caves and room for flow. Everyone seems to be adapting well to their new surroundings. The new sixline, Marty, is adapting beautifully, no jumping around the tank like the previous sixline, poor little fish. Sweet video, you even used the same song a local reef club friend used for his tank. Thanks! I like that song. Your friend has great tastes in music and what a great reef! It is an inspiration. Thanks for sharing that video. Link to comment
eitallent Posted March 8, 2013 Author Share Posted March 8, 2013 Howdy! I hope all is well in your reef realms. I took pschom's advice and got the stunners! Yay. The corals are popping with color. I wish I had a decent camera but I am spending all my extra money on reef lighting! These pictures do not pick up the yellow and intense orange in the corals. The greens turn out better but still not true. "La vie en bleu" Link to comment
msscha Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 wut? Marty Feldman makes an appearance in the video. Let me try again and see if it embeds this time. Eitallient, that video was just lovely. I am currently sitting hospice vigil with my mother, and the music and beauty in your tank were true gifts. I am so glad the video embedded . Link to comment

eitallent Posted March 10, 2013 Author Share Posted March 10, 2013 I got a live stream channel for MyAtlantis on ustream.tv where you can see Skipper, Marty and Karloff do their thing! Here is a link to the channel: http://www.ustream.tv/channel/myatlantis-nano-reef Link to comment
eitallent Posted March 10, 2013 Author Share Posted March 10, 2013 I will be feeding Skipper and the gang in five mins and it will be broadcast on the ustream channel. The link is in the previous post. Link to comment

I hope that's a good thing (observant) Is the magnet on the back sitting in the water then? I think they can corrode from the saltwater. I seem to remember reading that happened to someone. I'll have to look into that. Eitallient, that video was just lovely. I am currently sitting hospice vigil with my mother, and the music and beauty in your tank were true gifts. I am so glad the video embedded .Keeping you in my thoughts msscha :hugs: I will be feeding Skipper and the gang in five mins and it will be broadcast on the ustream channel.

gena Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 I think I missed the feeding. So cool to see your tank in action though. Skipper is so active!!!! The sixline is so pretty too. Link to comment
eitallent Posted March 10, 2013 Author Share Posted March 10, 2013 Hi Gena. I am glad you got to see the channel. Next time I will post a time and I will feed exactly at that time. Karloff was a hog and sat on the baster taking as many shrimp as he could hold in his greedy, skinny legs! Link to comment
gena Posted March 10, 2013 Share Posted March 10, 2013 Sounds good!!!! My brother set up a camera for his tank as well. I'll be doing the same at some point Link to comment
eitallent Posted March 10, 2013 Author Share Posted March 10, 2013 Come see the feeding fun at 5:30 PM CST today on my ustream.tv channel! This is fun! http://www.ustream.tv/channel/myatlantis-nano-reef Link to comment
