yoshii Posted August 11, 2016 Author Share Posted August 11, 2016 Daylight and PAR 38 LED Daylight Only (it looks a little extra yellow/warm in this pic than it is irl) I think I might want to get a second daylight bulb. The right side of the tank isn't getting as much light (why the macros don't look as bright) As you can also see in this pic, the macros look better because I pulled the light down closer to the tank 22 Quote Link to comment
pappadumplingz Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 Totally exceeded my expectations! New scape is great, using a bit of rule of thirds I see. Great job yosh! Quote Link to comment

I see you decided to put the aqua clear on the left side of the tank... it seems like you may have dead spots on the right side of your tank with the filter placed on the far left....but maybe not...just a thought....also what par 38 are you using (I'm an electrician and I'm just curious) Quote Link to comment
gena Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 The upgrade is perfect! I can't believe it's just a 5.5g...looks so much bigger. My favorites are your merlettis and that pale yellow gorgonian. Where did you get that gorgonian? I'd love to have that color in my tank . 1 Quote Link to comment

I haven't actually found a permanent place for the aqua clear, I ended up sliding it on the left side just to take pics. I may move it to the right and then find a small powerhead as the gorgonian needs more flow It's a BoostLED PAR 30, 1xNW, 1xCW, 3xRB I don't think they sell it anymore The upgrade is perfect! I can't believe it's just a 5.5g...looks so much bigger. My favorites are your merlettis and that pale yellow gorgonian. Where did you get that gorgonian? I'd love to have that color in my tank . I know right! I need to find a large enough box for moving it Lol those merletiis have been through so much. That 3 headed piece was part of the original frag I got several years ago, which grew nicely in my old 3g, but when I changed the rocks I only kept this piece (easier to get off the rock than the whole colony) and then later when I took down the 3g I saved the same piece for the 3.7g. However, I really need to glue it to a small rock because every time I moved it would always somehow get halfway buried in the sand. I think finally on the last move it lost 1 head because I forgot about in the sand Their fancy name is ATL Frost Bite Blasto I got the gorg from my LFS, I don't know which supplier they got it from, somewhere in Florida. I love how fluffy it is 3 Quote Link to comment

I need to decide on a fish (or fishes) and I want to add more LPS and softies After all, the whole point of upgrading tanks is so you can buy more to fill it up again! 2 Quote Link to comment

Thank you all for the kind words! I'm glad you guys are as excited about this upgrade as I am I'm looking forward to getting some fish! I don't think I'm going to get one until I'm back in SD, but I'm trying to brainstorm options. Here's some ones I've been thinking about (obviously I'd pick one or two) -Some kind of designer clown(s) -Royal Gramma -Cherub Angel (to be moved out when it gets too big) -Yellowtail Damsel -Gold Neon Goby -Possum Wrasse (either kind) Do you guys have any suggestions? I want something that is easy to feed (so the Possum Wrasse is more of a maybe) and something that won't jump out. 1 Quote Link to comment
yoshii Posted August 14, 2016 Author Share Posted August 14, 2016 Also, a big thank you to Gene (genetao) who gave me these plants for the 3.7! I'm taking my driftwood out to glue it to some slate but I'll post a pic when the dirt settles so you guys can see what happened to the 3.7 4 Quote Link to comment
FlowerMama Posted August 14, 2016 Share Posted August 14, 2016 Aren't there several varieties of tiny gobies? Quote Link to comment
yoshii Posted August 14, 2016 Author Share Posted August 14, 2016 Aren't there several varieties of tiny gobies? Yeah the only reason why I didn't add clown gobies or Trimmas to the list was because they usually have to eat frozen and I'm going to be busier this upcoming school year with a job and extra classes, so I want to be able to feed pellets quickly and not have to worry about target-feeding tiny gobies Quote Link to comment
