Mom2many Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 Everything looks great! The xenia is so beautiful and those clams colors! Very nice! Link to comment
FlowerMama Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 Yeah, relationships work when each does for the other and needs are met. When it's not like that, it won't work, it's unbalanced. That was my first marriage. I had it in my 2nd one but well, was widowed unfortunately as everyone knows. But sometimes, it's even hard to please yourself. Link to comment
righttirefire Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 That right most clam out of the trio... beautiful! Link to comment
thecoralbeauty Posted October 11, 2015 Author Share Posted October 11, 2015 So, i've been looking at the cad lights 42 gallon http://www.cadlights.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=61_74&products_id=306 but my 20L won't fit as a sump, so that idea is out. thoughts? Link to comment
righttirefire Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 That's beyond my comprehension. Their "standard" length is 30" I guess with MH or LED no problems. But t5 tubes are 36" or 24"... 30" are hard to find. Why do their stands set the tank at the edge? I'm alway looking for a edge around my tank to set "stuff". Goodluck Link to comment

Goodluck thats why i put that piece of laminate wood on top of my ikea stand- so i have a ledge. I think i may just end up going with that tank anyway, but the issue then will be how to transfer my xenia into that fuge instead Link to comment
Pinner Reef Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 Break the back panel then glue the broken pieces to the back of the new tank? Either that or just do it the ol fashioned way. razor, rubberband, rubble Link to comment
righttirefire Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 ... dont transfer the xenia? Lol... or, 40B! Link to comment

thecoralbeauty Posted October 11, 2015 Author Share Posted October 11, 2015 ... dont transfer the xenia? Lol... or, 40B! i love the look of it on the back wall now. when i get to a bigger tank, i'd like for it to be in the fuge. Link to comment
thecoralbeauty Posted October 15, 2015 Author Share Posted October 15, 2015 So, I think I was more deprived the last few months that I thought. I've been avoiding getting on here because it just makes me plan and plot and scheme more and more about upgrading my tank(s) into one bigger tank. I still like the cad lights tank, even though its taller. my Radions can totally handle the extra depth, and with all this SPS high on my rock work, i think i need the depth anyway as they will grow. Plus, it's a similar footprint so I can keep my existing rockscape intact and not have to re-mount everything. I'd just need to figure out how to fit in the purple tube nem, dendros, and sun corals from the little tank. (and the poor lonely pearly jawfish that i have in there). plus, then i could have a tang. or an anthias. i love anthias. or a copperband, if i can find one thats not too sensitive... the little plate coral is the size of a quarter now- and theres lots of growth in everything else. i boosted my vortec up to about 60-70% throughout the day. things seem to be loving it. so i guess now the question is- when am i going to start doing this? right now that tank is about $200 off...

HarryPotter Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 You have 2 Radions? That's a big possible tank! Link to comment
righttirefire Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 Start NOW! Jusr piece it together through the holidays and come tax refund time finish it up and start cycling Link to comment
kimberbee Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 How do you like the tube nem? I think they are so pretty but worry about smaller fish getting eaten. And I want a clown goby. Link to comment

And I want a clown goby. common misconception- no more dangerous than any other nem. and SO BEAUTIFUL! I love it. You have 2 Radions? That's a big possible tank! no, only one. sorry, typo. Wow. I love that xenia taking over the back wall. Very nice! thank you! it's a really fun effect, all the movement! Link to comment
FlowerMama Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 Getting so colorful already. Pretty! Link to comment
thecoralbeauty Posted October 16, 2015 Author Share Posted October 16, 2015 Start NOW! Jusr piece it together through the holidays and come tax refund time finish it up and start cycling there's nothing really to piece together. it's all pretty much all in one. (part of the appeal) Would i need another vortech? i only have the mp10 and two smaller powerheads. but it also has the return pump... hm. probably need a mp40 Link to comment
Sk8n Reefer Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 Are you hitting Fragtober? I think I can squeeze one Acro frag in my Nuvo ? my 50gal. Is not ready yet Link to comment
thecoralbeauty Posted October 16, 2015 Author Share Posted October 16, 2015 Are you hitting Fragtober? I think I can squeeze one Acro frag in my Nuvo my 50gal. Is not ready yet not sure yet. I have a freezer meal party thing up north at 4:30 tomorrow. if i do, it'll be in the early part of it. totally unsure though. i don't really have much space at all- but if it is free entry, it's always fun to poke around.

Or use an MP40 or a pair of them to sync up, then use your MP10 on the back wall. Or try a Gyre. Link to comment

I think it's $5.00 to get in and you get a free frag- not that I'll take it though- I'll be looking for something a little more unique - hopefully there will be a good SPS selection- Gonzo's from Ft. Collins usually has some nice pieces Link to comment
