kguske2 Posted May 15, 2014 Author Share Posted May 15, 2014 That lion is beastly. They were pretty sweet to watch for a bit. Especially knowing just how strong they truly are buddy the lion... Actually this ones name was Chris Link to comment
kguske2 Posted May 15, 2014 Author Share Posted May 15, 2014 No! But I could have walked with it in another area of the trip. I wasn't feeling up to walking openly with lions though so I stuck to the 4X4 Link to comment
patback Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 4 things in life I don't mess with. Heights, gas, electric, and any animal bigger than a dog (this also includes spiders) oddly enough, the job I want will entail all of those things. Link to comment

kguske2 Posted May 23, 2014 Author Share Posted May 23, 2014 South Africa 2014: The country was like nothing I ever expected. When most people hear Africa they think the Sahara, and while I knew the South Africa was not like this, I still did not expect it. The landscape is mixed with flatlands, huge mountains, and vineyards everywhere. Throughout the trip I visited 2 wineries, went on a safari, dove with sharks, rode elephants, explored the city of Cape Town, and went to class a few times. Oh yea, and drank entirely too much Lets go to Amsterdam first! ] Cape Town here I come [ Flying over mars? We have arrived! My home for the 2 weeks And where classes were Welcome "braai" (also known as bbq) Link to comment
Nanofreak79 Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 Nice to have u backs hope you had a great time, which it looks like you did. Question? What are your settings on your razor. I needed up putting one over the z and p tank. Things are doing pretty good, but we have similar dimensions. Just curious. Link to comment
kguske2 Posted May 24, 2014 Author Share Posted May 24, 2014 Id have to look to be sure but it's around a 11 hour period Light comes on at 12 and ramps up to around 30 white 40 blue over 2 hours Continues till peak at around 40 white 60 blue Ramps down to 30 white 40 blue 10pm goes to 0 white 35 blue for an hour then off. Glad to be back! More pics will be coming sometime. I'll get you the specific times and % tomorrow if you want. I'm still slowly moving each channel up 1% every 3-4 days Link to comment
Nanofreak79 Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 That's cool. I'm right about where your at. If you get time I'll take the scheduled points. No hurry. Link to comment

Ok I looked at the schedule here it is. Keep in mind my light is on the legs that stand on the sides of the tank. So not very high off the water 1) 12:30 A0% B0% 2) 13:30 A35% B45% 3) 15:30 A45% B60% 4) 20:00 A35% B45% 5) 22:00 A0% B35% 6) 23:00 A0% B0% Link to comment
Nanofreak79 Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 Thanks. How's your stuff doing? Obviously good, but do you think you need more %. Link to comment
kguske2 Posted May 25, 2014 Author Share Posted May 25, 2014 Thanks. How's your stuff doing? Obviously good, but do you think you need more %. I don't see much growth out of anything lol but everything appears to be healthy. I'm holding off on upping the % any for the time being to see how everything reacts for a bit. Also can't get my sps to color. Don't know if that's a lighting issue though :/ Link to comment
Nanofreak79 Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 Sps and LEDs can be weird. Too brown not enough light bleached and too much light. And then there's the whole need enough nutrients but not too much. Lol. My larger tank has a razor now to. My sps are colored up nicely and some that I bleached are coming back. Keeping a mixed reef is tough IMO. Thanks again for the info. Link to comment

They're actually growing nicely though so it makes no sense. Z/p don't grow for shit, sps grow nicely but look like a turd i caught up on your thread today. Looking good for sure Link to comment
