jedimasterben Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 the carberryi are the sherbet (and violet!) color i'm after, so i'll probably go with those. you know that sherbet doesn't have two 'r's. Quote Link to comment
thecoralbeauty Posted November 18, 2015 Author Share Posted November 18, 2015 you know that sherbet doesn't have two 'r's. i just double checked that post for my own spelling. three more days until thanksgiving break! Quote Link to comment
smeagol108 Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 first, tank looks great. Really like all the open space in there. where do you buy these SCA tanks I see people getting? also, how are you making that wave? One Mp10? 2? and how was the wave made? with that auto tune feature? I have never really understood how it worked so I haven't really used it yet. the one time I tried to make a wave in my old tank I just made a huge mess. lol. Any tips or info you could provide on how you did that would be great. I would like a nice gentle wave like that in my 16 gallon. (I have two mp10s). thanks! Quote Link to comment

SCAquariums.com... i think they are also on amazon. There was a big sale when I got mine, might still be going on. saved over 200 bucks and free shipping. i have my mp10 pointed towards my sps island in the back (from the opposite side) on reef crest at 100%- it doesnt interfere with the wave, but provides that group of corals with more flow. the wave is made my my mp40, on short pulse, on the right side of the tank, pointed out in the open space in the tank. I played around with the time between pulses until i got a wave that i liked. You can also do it using auto-tune, but i didnt. i'll have to go check out your setup for some ideas, but yea, its just the one powerhead on short pulse, played around with the frequency of the pulse. I'll take screen shots of my programs later this afternoon when i have more of a chance to sit down. hopefully that willhelp! Quote Link to comment

thecoralbeauty Posted November 18, 2015 Author Share Posted November 18, 2015 Interesting. Is this snapshot out of reeflink? Can't wait to see them. Where did you end up ordering them from? yea i just took a screen shot from ecosmart live. i ordered from live aquaria. first experience ordering something like this. or shipping anything live (besides harry's clams) What did u order? 3 small carberryi anthias. (how do you pronounce that anyway? i keep saying car-berry in my head) Ive had a heck of a day here at work.... been watching my tank on my nest cam every chance i get a second to myself. (avoiding the online dating profile, avoiding certain text message conversations... need some tranquility between bursts of 8th grade exposure). I'll see if i can make the feed live for this afternoon for you all too. the yellow tang just has added so much!! so happy i got him.

michaelrzachmann Posted November 18, 2015 Share Posted November 18, 2015 is there anyway to get the live feed better quality? hahaha i can see you Quote Link to comment
thecoralbeauty Posted November 19, 2015 Author Share Posted November 19, 2015 is there anyway to get the live feed better quality? hahaha i can see you oh gosh haha. yea. maintenance/feeding/re-gluing a clam. not sure about making it any better. its already zoomed in from across the room. i'd have to set it up super close to the tank somehow.

thecoralbeauty Posted November 19, 2015 Author Share Posted November 19, 2015 oh no- the charge that was on my card for the anthias last night is no longer there... wonder if they are not in stock. i'll call later today if i get a chance.... field trip though. makes things a little difficult today without a planning period.

thecoralbeauty Posted November 20, 2015 Author Share Posted November 20, 2015 Anthias are on their way! They'll be in the tank tomorrow afternoon. Also there is a coral/frag swap happening on Saturday, so I'll probably at least go check that out. I don't really want any more coral, but, you never know what you might run into! 2 Quote Link to comment
teenyreef Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 Just got caught up - it looks so beautiful already! I'm glad the transfer went well. Now that it's all scaped, how do you like the cube shape? 1 Quote Link to comment

Now that it's all scaped, how do you like the cube shape? i love it! lots of open space. one complaint is how deep it is.... but i'm dealing with it. going to go look for gloves this week, haha. 1 Quote Link to comment
WRX Posted November 20, 2015 Share Posted November 20, 2015 I recommend the Coralife Aqua Gloves. Long enough to keep your arms dry and very durable. I've tried the disposable elbow length gloves before and didn't have much luck with them - too thin and leaky. 1 Quote Link to comment

So the fish are being delivered by 10:30 am- I'm not home on fridays until 4:30. My mom fortunately is going to come pick them up and bring them inside. I told her to at least pull the bag out and try to acclimate but i'm happy as long as they aren't sitting on my door step in the snow all day. 2 Quote Link to comment
