mike c Posted December 1, 2012 Author Share Posted December 1, 2012 Coming along nicely. Thanks, jball! Link to comment
mike c Posted December 2, 2012 Author Share Posted December 2, 2012 Mounted a shelf above the tank, so I can hang the light fixture from it. Link to comment
mike c Posted December 3, 2012 Author Share Posted December 3, 2012 Ordered the hanging kit, should be here in couple days. Meanwhile, made a screen top out of clear plastic screen, from BRS, and a $10 screen kit from Home Depot. Thanks to Arkayology for the great idea. Also bought a Solon Fairy wrasse..again, thanks Matt! Lol Link to comment
metrokat Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 We need some coralzzz in here Mike. Link to comment
mike c Posted December 3, 2012 Author Share Posted December 3, 2012 We need some coralzzz in here Mike. I know I know. I have 3 frags in there, just can't get any decent pics! Sunset monti, Armor of Gods, and I think a Green Slimmer. I'm working on it tho! Link to comment
Arkayology Posted December 3, 2012 Share Posted December 3, 2012 I've been hooking Mike up with some good SPS. All fast growers. BTW, Mike's tank is super legit. A very well put together reef. Makes me jelly that I don't have a 40b sitting next to my 40g cube lol Link to comment

Makes me jelly that I don't have a 40b sitting next to my 40g cube lol Hell yeah thanks Matt, you've hooked up a lot. Thanks brotha. I picked up a Christmas wrasse today. LOVE the way these guys look (although it's a female). So far it gets along just fine with the Salon wrasse. Cruising around and eating well. I noticed its taken an interest in my smaller nassarius snails. It'll flip em over and inspect them, looking for a weak spot. I know they forage and eat pests, but nassarius snails? Anybody seen this before? And....just for Kat....a new coral!! It's an ORA, either Bellina or Purple Plasma. (Cell phone, very blue) Link to comment
Arkayology Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 Nice pics Mike. Ya, you will find that Xmas wrasse will like to eat your snails if it gets the chance. Smaller cleaner shrimp may also be a snack. Link to comment
jball1125 Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 I love the Christmas wrasse, very nice! Link to comment
JR! Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 I love the Christmas wrasse, very nice! same here. did you hang that t5's yet? Link to comment
mike c Posted December 4, 2012 Author Share Posted December 4, 2012 same here. did you hang that t5's yet? Not yet. Hanging kit should be here Wednesday though. I'll probably hang it the SECOND I get home! Lol Link to comment
mike c Posted December 6, 2012 Author Share Posted December 6, 2012 Hanging kit is delivered, and waiting at home. Probably work on that tonight. Also, found that I have a Red-Lined Wrasse, and not a genuine Christmas Wrasse. Pretty similar fish, and I'm happy with the Red-Lined, but still...payed more money for a wrasse that was labled as a Christmas wrasse. Eh.. Link to comment

mike c Posted December 6, 2012 Author Share Posted December 6, 2012 Where did you buy that Red Lined Wrasse? Aquatic. Link to comment
Arkayology Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 Aquatic. Figures they would get the ID wrong lol. 1 Link to comment
mike c Posted December 6, 2012 Author Share Posted December 6, 2012 Figures they would get the ID wrong lol. Lol, even I looked it up before buying it, and thought it was a xmas wrasse. Still a dope fish. I'm sure if bring up the issue Brandon would make right. I'm not too worried. Just finished hanging the fixture. I'm pretty stoked at how it came out!! Link to comment
jball1125 Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 Heck yea looks way better, great job! Link to comment
JoeDigiorgio Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 Looks awesome. Thats going to be a nasty tank in about 10 months. Such a great footprint on the breeders. IMO. Joe Link to comment
MeanGreenEyes Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 Your build looks great...love the scape, neat idea hanging the t5's, and am jealous of your cord management skills. I need to bribe someone with the patience locally to fix mine. Link to comment
mike c Posted December 6, 2012 Author Share Posted December 6, 2012 looks ten time better imo Thanks, brotha! I completely agree. Heck yea looks way better, great job! Thanks!!! Looks awesome. Thats going to be a nasty tank in about 10 months. Such a great footprint on the breeders. IMO. Joe Thanks, Joe. I can't wait to get some more corals, and see them grow out! Your build looks great...love the scape, neat idea hanging the t5's, and am jealous of your cord management skills. I need to bribe someone with the patience locally to fix mine. Thank you! Lol, the mp10 cords are actually bugging me! I have a pack of stick-on clips/hanger things I'm going to use, to run the cords up and to the back of the tank. The black tank trim will hide it, and the clips will catch it in case of magnetic fail. Link to comment

I have the mounting brackets on my tank for my mp's already...I'm talking the rest of the cords...they're coming from my ears at this point...it's driving me nuts and it's all important equipment. I hate it...wish everything was wireless. It looks great...if you saw my cord mess you'd appreciate yours! lol Link to comment
