xiaoxiy Posted November 2, 2014 Author Share Posted November 2, 2014 Sweet tank, love the scape my 11.4 looks so much smaller with my bigs ass rocks. Sometimes less is more I guess I just took a look at your 11.4. Shush! You're tank looks fantastic. I think my tank looks bigger because my fish are still babies! That clown you have is pretty big. Congrats on the pipefish...thats a beautiful pair. Im really glad to hear they're eating. Thanks Rehype! Them eating is the least of my worries. I woke up this morning, and one of the pipefish was missing. In my minimalist rockwork, fish can't hide. I freaked out and checked the floors & found nothing. Then I took a look in my filter sock, and there he was, staring right up at me. . Guess I gotta check my filter sock & sump more often now for missing livestock. Link to comment
xiaoxiy Posted November 3, 2014 Author Share Posted November 3, 2014 I took some time off from studying yesterday and cleaned up the light fixture & stand. After long deliberation, I finally figured out how to mount my shelf. And as for the light, I took the nanobox driver box apart and rerouted all the wires through the conduit bar. image by yang_xiaoxi, on Flickr image by yang_xiaoxi, on Flickr image by yang_xiaoxi, on Flickr image by yang_xiaoxi, on Flickr image by yang_xiaoxi, on Flickr FTS: Diatoms Link to comment

Hah, the white gorg is the bane of my existence. It's constantly covered in diatoms & as a result, will not extend its polyps. Gah, Link to comment

xiaoxiy Posted November 7, 2014 Author Share Posted November 7, 2014 I'm a dummy. I just realized that the brown diatoms I've been battling for the past 2-3 months is probably brown cyano. On the bright side, it seems to be receding a bit now. Link to comment
