jedimasterben Posted June 27, 2014 Author Share Posted June 27, 2014 Way too much work to do that without a lot of reward IMHO, as to me it still looks like it is supposed to have a top. Link to comment
tibbsy07 Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 That pico 5g is sooooo nice... mmmmmm... Link to comment
jedimasterben Posted June 27, 2014 Author Share Posted June 27, 2014 $240 shipped total for the PicO 5g. Hmm. Link to comment
tibbsy07 Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 Yeah, I was going to do a lid and the pico skimmer too if/when I do the Pico 5g. Will probably be a while, though. Link to comment
jedimasterben Posted June 27, 2014 Author Share Posted June 27, 2014 Yeah, I was going to do a lid and the pico skimmer too if/when I do the Pico 5g. Will probably be a while, though. That's without lid/etc. Just the tank. Link to comment
tibbsy07 Posted June 27, 2014 Share Posted June 27, 2014 Yeah, I know. I'm looking heavily at this set up... My wife would kill me if I did it. My birthday IS coming up though so... Maybe I can justify it? Haha, yeah right. Link to comment
jedimasterben Posted June 28, 2014 Author Share Posted June 28, 2014 Just watched my leopard wrasse act like it was diving into the sand for the night, but all it did was shake around and pile up sand everywhere! It knows that it isn't bedtime, as it has now adjusted to going to bed around 10:30-11PM. She's now cruising the tank poking around at pods like nothing happened. Bitch Link to comment
metrokat Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 Maybe she had an itch that needed a good scratching Link to comment
Viking Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 Fish do crazy things at times. I've caught my clown body surfing the flow from my power head more than once. Edit: you got my 100th post Link to comment
jedimasterben Posted June 28, 2014 Author Share Posted June 28, 2014 Maybe she had an itch that needed a good scratching Or she knows how make me mad lol Fish do crazy things at times. I've caught my clown body surfing the flow from my power head more than once. I had a pair of pipefish early last year that would sleep in front of an MP10 at night. And people say that pipefish are like seahorses and can barely swim Edit: you got my 100th post IT'S MIIIINNEEE!!! ALLLLLLLLL MIINNNNNNNNNNEE!! Link to comment
1.0reef Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 If the dinos keep on killing corals, you should do a fowlr/macro algae system, keep the nems though. Also your new damsels reminded me, when I was snorkeling a few days ago I got to see a huge Microspathodon dorsalis (Big azz damsel) easily 12-14 inches long! Link to comment
jedimasterben Posted June 28, 2014 Author Share Posted June 28, 2014 If the dinos keep on killing corals, you should do a fowlr/macro algae system, keep the nems though. They seem to aggravate macros more than corals, in addition, the tang and rabbitfish make quick work of everything but halimeda. Link to comment
Tamberav Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 NPS tank, no lighting to grow them dino's. Link to comment
jedimasterben Posted June 28, 2014 Author Share Posted June 28, 2014 Dinos don't care, they'll grow with or without light, unfortunately. Link to comment
gabe3eb Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 $240 shipped total for the PicO 5g. Hmm. I paid $52 shipping to Colorado. $260ish for the life net top, some filter pads and the tank. Pretty reasonable compared to the $450 for the Nanobox/BF. Totally worth it. Link to comment
jedimasterben Posted June 28, 2014 Author Share Posted June 28, 2014 I'm just not sure if it's what I want to spend 100% of my travel reimbursement for work on. Link to comment
bdevillier19 Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 Hmmm. Office 5g PicO? Total cost would be about $500 before livestock with a Nanobox Tide. i was thinking the same exact thing, however, they shut the ac off over the weekend in my office and being that i live in phoenix, that means it gets too hot to have a tank Link to comment
jedimasterben Posted June 28, 2014 Author Share Posted June 28, 2014 I work in IT, the whole building is climate controlled, not just the server room, so at the very least it would be kept cool, would probably be the first tank I've ever had that would need a heater Link to comment
jedimasterben Posted June 28, 2014 Author Share Posted June 28, 2014 I just realized - I placed my order for my Hawkwing conch on July 4th, 2012, got him that Friday, so I've had him almost two years!He's quite the acrobat Link to comment
metrokat Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 he's alien looking. and might be your dino carrier too. Aren't CUC supposed to die when Dinos happen? Who is this roach? Link to comment
jedimasterben Posted June 29, 2014 Author Share Posted June 29, 2014 I dunno, he has not been affected at all. He received the same strong bath that everything did before entering and it appears to have worked well, as he was in for what, a month at least before the dino's reappeared. Link to comment
Tamberav Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 Start over and don't transfer nems/coral? Link to comment
Lawnman Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 If either of you had to guess, how long do you think that it would take for these strings to grow, which are causing these corals to close and will eventually kill them. Apologies for the blurry pictures. WTF have you done to my beautiful frags? Link to comment
jedimasterben Posted June 29, 2014 Author Share Posted June 29, 2014 WTF have you done to my beautiful frags? Pissed in the tank one too many times! Link to comment
