up.left Posted October 29, 2012 Author Share Posted October 29, 2012 What light u using? Looks awesome Thanks, Im using a custom cree system. One string of Cree 3w Xte Royal blues at 1000ma the other is a mixture of reds greens uv's and blues, no whites at 700ma. I plan on ordering a custom light fixture soon but have just built a new box for the led's so will up date those with pics tomorrow. Some RS' on that would've been B A! haha I know! but I knew I wasn't going to own it long and dont really have a set just laying around lol. That hermit getting sucked into the brain coral is like "AMIGAWD IM SINKING!" Great pics. Thanks a lot man!When I saw it I questioned if i should film the brain eating it and time lapse it. If it wasn't my biggest hermit i might have lol but I like them and am not really into letting my inverts die. so sick. Thanks dude im still really hoping to get the same tank as yours. Its looking great as well btw Tank's looking great as usual! Thanks! Im saving up to get a high end pair of clowns, then calling it good on fish most likely! Quote Link to comment
up.left Posted October 29, 2012 Author Share Posted October 29, 2012 (edited) Cell phone update until i borrow another dslr. sorry guys lol I built the light hood out of wood from an old broken loom built a longg time ago. I left the sticker to show it off. On the front of the box it came 1/16'' short on each side. I was literally 1/8'' short on the wood needed. I did that instead of taking it apart and shortening it after already glueing it. I blew a couple leds on the non blue strip so will be ordering some replacements. Until then im unfortunately stuck running all blues for a few days. The stars are what ive been feeding my harlequin. Edited October 30, 2012 by iroll253 Quote Link to comment
Atticus27 Posted October 29, 2012 Share Posted October 29, 2012 Holy Blue!! even my eyes are trying to adjust to the monitor, no lens yet? Quote Link to comment

All other pics are taken with a standard 18-55mm Edit: lol actually all the good ones are with a dslr and all the crappy ones are with my cellphone Quote Link to comment
up.left Posted November 2, 2012 Author Share Posted November 2, 2012 Pics of the light hanging. Still working on getting my daylight string working. Need to order 4 led's to replace the ones that blew. For the last week only blues have been running.. Quote Link to comment

Arkayology Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 The colors you are getting are amazing. Great pics. I would get a lid for the tank because of the flasher wrasse though. It will jump guaranteed. Quote Link to comment
up.left Posted November 14, 2012 Author Share Posted November 14, 2012 (edited) Thanks. I know i should have a lid im just hoping I get lucky. He jumped out when i first got him right in front of me ( I saved him of course ) and has never gotten that close to the top since. Im hoping he will remember that otherwise he might meet his doom. He has a great personality though. Edited December 14, 2012 by iroll253 Quote Link to comment
up.left Posted November 20, 2012 Author Share Posted November 20, 2012 Went and got x4 35g barrels. One for my buddys 150g placed in his garage, two for rodi which will both have spigots soon, and I cut the top off of the last one for a new water change container. Finally I can stop lugging around jugs and not have to make water all the time. Quote Link to comment
up.left Posted November 28, 2012 Author Share Posted November 28, 2012 (edited) 3 cell phone Updates. Got my tds monitor in the mail from BRS, 62tds going in 0 coming out. I know i have a ghetto ro/di unit. Caught my acan EATING MY HARLEQUIN SHRIMP. Kinda po'd. Not sure the cause of death though. Lastly my 24'' mac crashed over the weekend so i replaced the dvd superdrive with a new sony one and replaced the HDD with a Solid state hard drive 640gb. Much faster than the old regular harddrives and boosted my ram to 16gbs maxed out. Pic before cleaning. Edited November 28, 2012 by iroll253 Quote Link to comment
MGDMIRAGE Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 Tank looks great! I've been thinking about having Oceans by Design build me a tank early next year some time. Quote Link to comment
ALexpsycho Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 Harlequin shrimps are very beautiful creatures but they are not for aquariums...Most I ve seen have a mortality rate from 1-6 months... They dont eat those bristle stars and prefer linckia starfish... I love the look of your tank. It looks very good under those leds. Quote Link to comment

I love the look of your tank. It looks very good under those leds. I figured out that they dont like to eat mini brittles if there is another food source. I started taking asternias to feed her instead. Yesterday she was doing fine swimming around even while hunting for food in the middle of the day. I think one of the mp10's surging might have got it.. Oh well its to late now. As of tomorrow im removing my two cleaner shrimp to dive in other livestock ventures after a few weeks of being shrimp less. Thanks guys! Quote Link to comment

eddiecorrea Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 Where did you get a 640gig SSD? How much was it? I have a MBP and want a SSD but a 64gb isn't sufficient. Need atleast 250gb. Quote Link to comment

eddiecorrea Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 $650?! DAMN! I don't care about waiting a few extra seconds. haha Quote Link to comment
up.left Posted January 6, 2013 Author Share Posted January 6, 2013 hahah yeah man its gonna be over a grand retail for it I believe. Transfers data at 270mbs a second lol What most people are doing now is getting a smaller ssd like a 120gb or 64gb and using a 1tb external for all of there 3rd party data. Quote Link to comment
