joel sandoman Posted April 8, 2013 Author Share Posted April 8, 2013 Oh yeah! I have had pc t5 and mh. I prefer leds so far Link to comment
jgpico Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 Hopefully you can keep that darth maul from melting on you. I have tried multiple frags in my past tank and they melted everytime. They are my favorite play so I might try them again. Link to comment
joel sandoman Posted April 8, 2013 Author Share Posted April 8, 2013 I got them from sfdanksta a local guy on here. He had a very large colony and said they were very hardy for him so I am crossing my fingers. Link to comment
joel sandoman Posted April 12, 2013 Author Share Posted April 12, 2013 So I swapped out the tunze nanostream beacause it was huge and blowing my fine sand. Put in a koralia nano and at my wife's urging spray painted it white with krylon fusion. What do you guys think? http://s162.photobucket.com/user/joelsandoman/media/20130411_172145_zps3b500373.jpg.html'> Link to comment

joel sandoman Posted April 12, 2013 Author Share Posted April 12, 2013 krylon fusion is reef safe? Yes it is. It is what most people use for their backgrounds from what I have read on here.. Link to comment
Passaggper Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 Nice setup! I love your scape. Painting that Koralia is an interesting touch, too. I be followin! Link to comment
joel sandoman Posted April 16, 2013 Author Share Posted April 16, 2013 Thanks! The scape is supposed to remind me of a canyon or something. Link to comment
joel sandoman Posted April 17, 2013 Author Share Posted April 17, 2013 Finally hung the light today. Hardest part was finding a #10-32 eye bolt, but I finally found one almost by accident at a specialty auto part store. This brought the light forward about two inches so that it hangs in the center of the tank Also got a new fuge light. I hung it from the wall because the clamp is not water proof and you can see the wires. Either way for $30 I am happy. IT is an LED screw in lamp that was included. Link to comment
slaychild Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Looks good. I really like how you painted that power head! Now I would patent it so if anyone comes out with one they have to pay you, lol Link to comment
joel sandoman Posted April 18, 2013 Author Share Posted April 18, 2013 Haha thanks. It stuck out like sore thumb black. Thought about painting the spin stream too. Link to comment

joel sandoman Posted April 22, 2013 Author Share Posted April 22, 2013 well that looks spiffy. love the koralia white, too. mine needs a cleaning and has some purple spots on it lol. THanks. I have a bunch of diatoms right now and they are growing on the koralia now so I may have to spot clean it. Link to comment
andi.rahl Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 Can you just puff them off with a turkey baster or something? shouldn't they just go away on their own, though? Link to comment
joel sandoman Posted April 22, 2013 Author Share Posted April 22, 2013 Can you just puff them off with a turkey baster or something? shouldn't they just go away on their own, though? I have heard they will go away, but if they don;t the turkey baster isn't a bad idea. Link to comment
andi.rahl Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 I have heard they will go away, but if they don;t the turkey baster isn't a bad idea. well I heard the turkey baster method was good for getting sand and detritus off of rocks and corals...so I figured it'd work just fine for equipment too! I still need to get one myself. Link to comment
joel sandoman Posted April 23, 2013 Author Share Posted April 23, 2013 http://s162.photobucket.com/user/joelsandoman/media/20130422_184942_zpsc9c9695d.mp4.html Got a new pearly jawfish today. I had built him a pvc burrow in plans for his arrival and within minutes of going into the burrow he was blocking off the entrances. The funny thing is he was collecting a bunch of my cerith snails and trying to form a wall with them. I videoed it but my son is screaming in the background so I need to edit it. Here is the vid I took right after I put him in. Can you embed a photobucket vid? Link to comment
