Chew_Magna Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 Im going to stick with this light setup, should I replace the 12000k's? They are 6 months old 7 hours a day every day. Now or in the very near future. 6 months is what you want to aim for. Link to comment
slowngreen Posted October 1, 2013 Author Share Posted October 1, 2013 Alright thanks Chew. Is a 12000k actinic white different? Or the same since its the same color temp? Link to comment
Arkayology Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 Personally, I think this is the best combo you have had so far. At least from what the pics look like. Well I went back to 3 12000k, 1 act, 1 blue + and one purple +, instantly about perfect again to me. Just want alittle more fluorescent pop though. Think if I replace the on stock actinic with a ???? Super actinic? It will pop more on the fluorescent stuff? Link to comment
slowngreen Posted October 1, 2013 Author Share Posted October 1, 2013 Thank you sir, the only thing I didnt care for is in person the colors on the fish didnt stand out very much, such as the lines on my dart fishes face, they are really silver now though. Link to comment
slowngreen Posted October 1, 2013 Author Share Posted October 1, 2013 Lookin' good man!! Thanks dude! All the zoas I got from you are growing hella fast. Time to frag some of the colonies and spread them around a bit. Link to comment
slowngreen Posted October 2, 2013 Author Share Posted October 2, 2013 Added two pieces of my DIY rock Ive had in my sump. http://s183.photobucket.com/user/slowngreen/media/9fa9067c-b3e3-43a9-b2a5-1060796bb1dd.jpg.html'> Link to comment
Chew_Magna Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 Those diy rocks look pretty good. Link to comment
slowngreen Posted October 3, 2013 Author Share Posted October 3, 2013 Thanks. I have a bunch left ready to go but their pretty big pieces. Might just hold on to them for when I upgrade. Link to comment
Roshan8768 Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 Rocks are awesome, but I liked the open scape better! Maybe this'll grow on me.. Link to comment
slowngreen Posted October 3, 2013 Author Share Posted October 3, 2013 Thanks, Im not sure personally, I think I like it more now, have a new little cave for the fish this way and it ads some front to back depth. Link to comment
slowngreen Posted October 4, 2013 Author Share Posted October 4, 2013 Only things Im not liking after all about the added rock is my new Kole is staying hidden behind it. Should I not worry about it and give him time to come out on his own? Ive had him maybe a week? He's really timid. Ive seen him eat during feeding though and he's eating any algae he finds.

Chew_Magna Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 Give him time, he's a new fish. Hell my mono still hides from me sometimes and I've had him for a couple months. Sometimes he's fine, sometimes he runs from me when I approach the tank. Link to comment
DannaM Posted October 4, 2013 Share Posted October 4, 2013 This tank is just awesome!!!!!! Link to comment
Walker Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 Man, why have I not seen this tank before? Your light combo makes your corals glow. Daaang. I'm more of an SPS guy but those softies are awesome. Link to comment
Keepswimmin Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 Gotta say I'm with everyone else the black sand looks really good. I think I'll have to try that in he 30 I'm setting up. Link to comment
Spencer7 Posted October 15, 2013 Share Posted October 15, 2013 Gotta say I'm with everyone else the black sand looks really good. I think I'll have to try that in he 30 I'm setting up. Check out my old cube (in my sig) Black sand, 20" cube (35 ish gallons), might be a good reference/source of inspiration. Link to comment
slowngreen Posted October 21, 2013 Author Share Posted October 21, 2013 Just an update, my zebra dart jumped out when I had the top off and I didnt notice till it was too late. Also removed my yellow tail. So current livestock consists of a Kole tang, mandorin, emerald crap, blue legs, snails, one cleaner shrimp and a blue green chromis. But I ordered a pajama card and a yellow citron. Also a couple plates and some wizard of oz zoas. Link to comment
FishBrawler Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 What is that orange leathery in the back there? Link to comment
