shaner014 Posted January 8, 2013 Author Share Posted January 8, 2013 Looks good! Thanks! Glad your new light schedule is working out too. Lid looks good and your new goby is so cuuuuute!!! Now if only he'd get some courage and come out of hiding. Still only been a few days, I know it takes time for them to get comfortable. Still hate waiting Link to comment

Rathje70 Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 How did you get such perfect cuts on the screen channel? When I cut Mine, the channel got pinched and I had to pry it back open... Link to comment
shaner014 Posted January 8, 2013 Author Share Posted January 8, 2013 How did you get such perfect cuts on the screen channel? When I cut Mine, the channel got pinched and I had to pry it back open... Perfect is a bit of a stretch if you look at them up close, haha. I used a scrap piece of channel and a dremmel with cutting wheel and practiced. I filed the endges after to even them out if needed. It wasn't all that tough after a few practice cuts. The dremel was way easier than the hacksaw I tried first. Link to comment

shaner014 Posted January 12, 2013 Author Share Posted January 12, 2013 I like. I like that it worked! No more fishing the bugger out of the filter. Looking for anything specifically? Not really, if you have anything your trying to frag let me know for sure! Link to comment
TristanC Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 I just recently added a green clown goby to my tank and i may have to do the screen mod to the overflow teeth. He hasn't tried it yet but if he did he'd end up the a filter sock in my sump.. 2 Link to comment

Im not sure when exactly but i will be selling some torch corals soon also. let me know if you want anything. I'm interested in any Zoo's, maybe a couple trumpet heads, and torch depending on color. I loved my old torch, favorite piece, but want a better color this time (though my lights will make any torch look better I'm guessing given the heavy blue spectrum). PM me what ya got and $ 1 Link to comment
shaner014 Posted January 12, 2013 Author Share Posted January 12, 2013 FTS by chubbyreefer, on Flickr Full Tank Shot. Best I can do with flickr filters on my phone! Too lazy for actual editing until I get a decent camera. I still want to add some height in the left/middle. Trying to decide whether to do it with coral or more rock... Also ordered a Vertex Duplex Gonna pick up some inexpensive piece's (couple zoo's) from a local reefer tomorrow morning, should give me a good idea of my lighting schedule over the next couple weeks. Excited to get some stuff from VeganBrian in the coming weeks too! Link to comment
zooman72 Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 Wow, I love that little Caribbean brain, and am actually a little jealous - have always looked for that on Florida rock and never found one! Where did you get your rock - SWP? If you ever want to trade it for a Pacific brain let me know - I have a small (2") red and green one I would trade in a heartbeat! I am also going to be fragging a large colony of turquoise trumpet coral soon if you are interested, and maybe some branching hammer. As for the left "height need" either add a small rock or two, or use a gorgonian - some of them are great for filling in "empty/ open space". By the way - very nice set-up... Link to comment

Yea, I got it from Joe at SWP. He was surprised he missed the brain when he sold it, he said he usually pops them off because of the rarity. It has a really cool orange, green coloration that I can do no justice to with pictures. I think I want to hang on to it given that they aren't around too much. Thanks for the kind words, I hope I can get some nice pieces in it soon and that the light does well enough at keeping them happy. I think I'll probably find another small rock or too like you say. If after a week I havent melted anything I get tomorrow, I'll pm you about a frag or two. thanks for following! Link to comment
