eklikewhoa Posted January 24, 2013 Author Share Posted January 24, 2013 He's usually under one of the mini carpets but moves there to filter feed. There's a RBTA on the back side of the rock he's on but he's hardly near it. Link to comment
x3thelast Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 Funny. Mines always hogging the rbta. Sometimes it looks like he's got flowy dread locks haha Link to comment
alexversa Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 You still have the RBTA? What about the clowns? Link to comment
alexversa Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 Just spent $40 on two maxi mini's. I blame this tank. Link to comment
eklikewhoa Posted January 26, 2013 Author Share Posted January 26, 2013 You still have the RBTA? What about the clowns? RBTA is still in there, the clowns I lost to the Apocalypse.... it got really cold in the house, we don't turn on the heat, then the power went out and tank got freezing cold. The friend that bred them is working on blacker ice and has a batch growing out. WIll be replacing them when they are ready. Just spent $40 on two maxi mini's. I blame this tank. I'm gonna use this line on the wifey later today... gonna go look for more maxis, let's see if that works. Link to comment
marine_fanaticz Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 How are you keeping nitrate levels low? Link to comment
eklikewhoa Posted January 26, 2013 Author Share Posted January 26, 2013 How are you keeping nitrate levels low? Water change? don't feed much of anything and water changes are done at least every other week. Link to comment
Johnnytrinh Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 How much % you do for wc? Link to comment
eklikewhoa Posted January 26, 2013 Author Share Posted January 26, 2013 How much % you do for wc? It depends... If I get a new anemone or invert I do about 1-3 Solo cups worth. If I don't get anything new I do maybe half a cup to a full cup. Link to comment
Johnnytrinh Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 I'm doing a gallon a week now. Is that to much Link to comment

You don't want to do too little tho. if you want to feed heavy I strongly suggest doing a massive water change a few hours after everything is fat and happy. Link to comment

Agreed. but the main thing is to keep from having parameters swinging too much, if water params are too far apart you would be aiding the problem. Some new pics Link to comment
eklikewhoa Posted January 27, 2013 Author Share Posted January 27, 2013 After some serious searching and the love of all the flasher/mystery wrasse I've had in the past I wanted one for this tank and due to it's size that have become limiting. Order just placed for a Tanaka's Pygmy Wrasse! Link to comment
Johnnytrinh Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 I only have one clown fish. Feed him couple Nls pellet a day. Orange spotted goby die today. Link to comment
eklikewhoa Posted January 27, 2013 Author Share Posted January 27, 2013 I only have one clown fish. Feed him couple Nls pellet a day. Orange spotted goby die today. the sand sifting goby right? Is there other problems that would make you think you're not doing enough water changes? I feed Rod's foods, Ken's premium pellets and coral frenzy but only every other day. Link to comment
eklikewhoa Posted January 27, 2013 Author Share Posted January 27, 2013 Forgot to update, I changed my LED array around a bit. 1x CW 3x CB 2x RB 2x TV 2x NW Link to comment
Johnnytrinh Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 Do the zoas look that good in person? Link to comment
eklikewhoa Posted January 27, 2013 Author Share Posted January 27, 2013 yep, I don't do much editing other than cropping and altering the background highlights/shadow Link to comment
eklikewhoa Posted January 27, 2013 Author Share Posted January 27, 2013 The orange/copper ring with blue center is actually much nicer in person, my camera can't pick up the gold/orange color. Btw, here's a quick pic I just took on my phone, uploaded to pb on my phone and now posting through my phone. Link to comment
Johnnytrinh Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 The zoas I have look better in person thanh iPhone pic. Maybe it's the lighting that makes the color pop on yours. What kind of phone are you using Link to comment
eklikewhoa Posted January 27, 2013 Author Share Posted January 27, 2013 A really old HTC G2. Got it when it first came out and its been the best phone I've ever had. Usually go through phones multiple times a year but since this one that's changed I can't get my camera or phone to take pics as nice as they are in person. What zoas you have? Maybe we can get a little frag swap going on HFB Link to comment
Lawnman Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 Never really been a fan of little tanks but this one keeps me coming back. My favorite little big tank on NR. Did you make the leds or are those strips? I LoL when I read the WC post. How much do you change? 1-2 solo cups lmao. Link to comment

Did you make the leds or are those strips? I LoL when I read the WC post. How much do you change? 1-2 solo cups lmao. Hahaha red solo cup! It started with stunners but it got cluttered after obtaining the color I wanted. Swapped to DIY. Mix of crees and luxeons, have it listed above somewhere 10x 3w RapidLED nano dimmable driver. Mounted to the stock arm and the housing gutted to fit over the heatsink to maintain the stock look. Been toying with different leds trying to get the right color mix. After a few orders from stevesLeds I think I'm close to where I like it. Next step is to swap it all out for 3ups stars and run full spectrum but right now it works and the corals look good.
