MyLiquidBlue29BC Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 How is this tank doing with the Value Reef Breeder's light? Is it still sitting on the top or did you end up hanging it? I ask because I'm considering a 29 hex, but I could only do it if I could keep the hood on. Thanks Link to comment
Tamberav Posted January 10, 2014 Author Share Posted January 10, 2014 How is this tank doing with the Value Reef Breeder's light? Is it still sitting on the top or did you end up hanging it? I ask because I'm considering a 29 hex, but I could only do it if I could keep the hood on. Thanks I just have it sitting on top. It's kind of a pain but since I want to go with a larger hex, I decided it isn't worth setting up something it can hang from. It sits on the rim of the tank and not the top. Not sure what kind of top you are using though? The light is great, very powerful. My macro doubled in size quickly and I have had to pull it out twice now. Then I melted my poor dragon's breath and my blue macro with some peroxide I was spot treating some GHA with So hopefully it keeps growing quickly and grows back. I'm running GFO now so hoping that won't stunt it too much. I had to turn the light down a bit even because my zoa's and mushrooms shrunk up. They seemed healthy but were small basically. The shaded zoa's were big though. When I upgrade I plan on only macro/gorgs/clam so I'm going to crank the light back up and grow baby grow....! Link to comment
MyLiquidBlue29BC Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 Thanks for the reply The hood looks kind of like this: http://www.marinedepot.com/Clear_for_Life_ES_Medium_Density_Fiberboard_Hexagon_Pentagon_Aquarium_Canopy_Stand_MDF_(Heavy)-Clear_For_Life-AT5411-FIAQCSMD-vi.html It's my dad's tank. It's only been set up at their house for 20 years, you'd think I'd have a picture of it. I'm going to see if he'll trade me for my BioCube I have little hands to keep out of the tank, so a hood/canopy is a must. What optics did you get on yours? And did your new corals arrive?

They arrived healthy, I posted some pics in my 40B thread. I put most of them in there for now because I am running out of space lol It has no optics on it but I am thinking about trying some 90's on it. It doesn't really bleed any light since it is so close to the water but I figure when I raise it and the tank is deeper, 90's may work better. Link didn't work Link to comment

Cameron6796 Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 Yes very fancy and tidy Link to comment
MyLiquidBlue29BC Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 Lol, yes..canopy is the right word. I think his tank is even plumbed for a trickle filter lol It was set up as saltwater in early 90s. Link to comment

MyLiquidBlue29BC Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 BTW, is that your horse? She was. It's a long story, but she was the best horse I've ever had. I hated to part with her. I saw a picture of your horses Link to comment

MyLiquidBlue29BC Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 Aw, sorry to hear. That must have been hard. It was not fun, but it's the reason I started my tank back up. The tank isn't the same, but it helps. River was a barely handled 6 year old when I got her. I started her and taught her everything. But she went to a good person who will be able to build on the foundation I gave her. I hope she shows River in local dressage shows. Her new mom actually called me last week. I love the color of your horse, Raven, by the way. Link to comment

When we got her, she never even knew what it was like to be touched and didn't even know how to lead. Link to comment

She must really think a lot of you to let you hang out with her while she is lying down, like in that picture, is a huge compliment. Link to comment

Never thought about it that way but I guess you are right. I would have never thought a horse could come so far. She is more attached to people now than other horses. Link to comment

metrokat Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 Girl, I tried to creep on my mandy's doing the dirty to make a sex tape I could sell online. No luck. Yours must like to do it with the lights on. Link to comment

Yours must like to do it with the lights on. lol! Are they spawning yet or does is the Mr. still acting shy? Do you see him flirting? My male gets all flirty and "poofs" himself up to look all manly and impressive to attract the lady before they start the courtship. I was shocked to see them doing it with the lights on for all the world to see. Naughty! The local breeders here talked me into filling out a MBI on them and following the "process". We'll see where this goes... Link to comment
metrokat Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 Oh they're doing the rises, it's beautiful to watch. The tank itself is very dark right now, the ambient room lights give a little more visibility. I see them just as they reach the top 1/4 of the tank together. Link to comment
