FlowerMama Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 looking good. My blasto seems to be shrinking. Not puffy right now but I just added some corals to the tank, probably changed the chemistry so I'll have to watch carefully. Blastos like to be fed some mysis by the way. You have a nice clumping.

t8raff Posted June 3, 2013 Author Share Posted June 3, 2013 thanks i really like this blasto. my lfs had some really nice ones in last week that i should of got but these are nice too. im hoping they turn more purple like they were in his tank. i just really like the neon green mouths lol. john at reef cleaners said my order will ship out tuesday so im excited about that Link to comment

t8raff Posted June 4, 2013 Author Share Posted June 4, 2013 Just got an email that my snails have shipped. Hopefully will get them tomorrow before i go into work. Link to comment
Jmf300 Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 nice tank and you wont be disappointed on the lights they look great in my tank Link to comment
t8raff Posted June 4, 2013 Author Share Posted June 4, 2013 nice tank and you wont be disappointed on the lights they look great in my tank Thanks. I read great reviews on them on here. Im off of work this weekend so ill probably buy everything i need to make a fixture for them. Link to comment
t8raff Posted June 5, 2013 Author Share Posted June 5, 2013 Lights are on their way. Now its time to play the waiting game. Link to comment
AdamWest Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 What type of fixture are you going to make for it? Link to comment
t8raff Posted June 5, 2013 Author Share Posted June 5, 2013 i was actually just searching for some ideas. ill probably just use some pvc. here are my two ideas Link to comment
t8raff Posted June 5, 2013 Author Share Posted June 5, 2013 Well the snails didnt show up today like i was expecting. Hopefully they will be here tomorrow. Link to comment
AdamWest Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 Idea number one looks to be the easiest. You can make the light sockets in line a little easier and with just one plug. I have also seen some build that fixture on a post here at nano reef. From those pictures it looked really nice and he spray painted it black. Link to comment
venturalvn Posted June 5, 2013 Share Posted June 5, 2013 I like #Z out of the 2. Seems to be less intrusive. Link to comment

I was leaning towards the second one because less pipe would be showing looking directly at the tank. Only thing i dont know is how high to put the lights above the water. I got the 90 degree optics. I was thinking maybe a foot above. Link to comment
