Kijho Posted June 15, 2014 Author Share Posted June 15, 2014 Super easy jus the two screws on the bottom side (led side) under and slide the metal bracket out. (Takes a bit of a lift them slide..) Link to comment

Very nice Thanks so much my friend! Ooooooooh a time-lapse sounds awesome! Especially with the corals opening and all that. Gonna be soon I hope! Still have alot to film though, it's difficult since I'm at work at 12:00pm when the lights come on in the afternoon so most filming is weekends. Link to comment
cswan19 Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 damn man... Your tank looks wicked good. If you compare your tank pics from now and your 1 month mark it is unreal! Love the progress so far. Link to comment
NanoClown Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 wow everything looks amazingggggggggggg im going to have to start calling you the Acan Lord Link to comment
justinmb Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 Those purple acans are sweet! I also like the transparency of the frogspawn. Really cool. Link to comment
Cameron6796 Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 Really awesome love the odd green tentacle in all the purple ones Link to comment

cswan19 Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 Really awesome love the odd green tentacle in all the purple ones +1 That is what really caught my eye. beautiful Link to comment
Kijho Posted June 17, 2014 Author Share Posted June 17, 2014 Thanks friends! I'm on a slight spending cut for now, but it shouldn't be for too long. I have to sell my current car as I'm in the works right now of getting the finances done on bringing this new beast home (hopefully.) I should be finding out tomorrow if I will have the money or not. If so - the priority will be to sell my current car. Once that is sold, I'm gonna get back at advancing my tank. Some small things I have in mind would be I'd like to add a bit more sand to one part of the tank. The back right side has very very little sand. I'd like to remove the plugs from alot of the corals and get some good underwater black epoxy to glue them right down on the rock. I'd also like to remove the huge frag plug from the bottom of the frogspawn and get that skeleton buried a bit deeper. Anyways, here's a pic of why I've had to cut back on everything haha.. I mean, corals are one thing but I'm not even buying morning coffee's / bagels anymore. ZERO "want" spending for just a little while longer Link to comment
Tropi Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 Nice, it should be worth the going with out for awhile I'm putting off getting more corals to but only to save for a larger tank Link to comment
Kijho Posted June 17, 2014 Author Share Posted June 17, 2014 Eventually I want a custom tank But.. It's going to take alot of careful thought I think because I don't own a house yet and someday when I do I'd really like there to be a perfect spot to keep a nice larger size aquarium! Your tank looks awesome now Tropi! Link to comment

IMG_1909 by kijho6, on Flickr IMG_1908 by kijho6, on Flickr Moonlights!! IMG_1891 by kijho6, on Flickr A little bit difficult to tell but this is a brand new baby snail!!! He's TINY. Moves around the tank alot usually on the walls. I'm hoping it grows, that would be like $3 free hahaha.... https://flic.kr/p/nKuZ35'>https://flic.kr/p/nKuZ35'>IMG_1907 by https://www.flickr.com/people//'>kijho6, on Flickr ~ Cheers! Link to comment
cswan19 Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 Your pictures are awesome Kijho, especially the one of your frogspawn. And the snail is cute Link to comment
Cameron6796 Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 Yep think its a snail if its moving id think so unless it's like a flatworm or something. Link to comment
Tropi Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 love the pics. I have heaps of the stomatella snails all through my tank, sometimes I see five of them in a line moving along the glass, I've counted as many as nine before Also Good Luck on the Car front Link to comment
Fishstiks Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 Looking sooooooo good! Love it! Link to comment
Kijho Posted June 22, 2014 Author Share Posted June 22, 2014 Day 87: 3 Month mark! (Tomorrow) Did a big WC Today. I'm noticing some diatoms beginning to build up on my sand. I had this problem before - but when I added my two nassarius snails it went away. I'm not sure where my nass snails have been, I haven't seen them in a couple weeks... Anyways, nitrates are pretty high. This is pre-WC after 1 week. I'll test the Nitrate tomorrow again and see if the WC made an impact. IMG_1931 by kijho6, on Flickr Ammonia: 0ppm Nitrite: 0ppm Nitrate: 20ppm ~ Kh/Alk: 150ppm (8) Calcium: 425ppm (Was purple at 400ppm, but then became pink again after 5 mins. Half a drop more would have kept it solid.) Salt: 1.027 Temp: 76-78*F My larger ricordia split yesterday morning. I went to move it a little bit with my tweezers and it just fell apart into two pieces. Seems good though, there's a mouth on the second piece so I think it wanted to split the way it did. My GOLD yuma turned orange :'( I wish it stayed gold... oh well..
