Mirya Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 I think I have amber hooked... we looked at vip reed yesterday.

righttirefire Posted January 10, 2016 Author Share Posted January 10, 2016 Nah. My little nuvo will look like a blanket once they grow up. 12 RFAS... Lights are coming up right now and some colors are really popping! Link to comment
spectra Posted January 10, 2016 Share Posted January 10, 2016 That's just another reason to upgrade to a bigger tank........ Link to comment
righttirefire Posted January 10, 2016 Author Share Posted January 10, 2016 Is your fusion coming down? Lol... I know it. Move the 20 into a 40 and the nuvo into the 8. Keep the 8 as a frag tank. Lol Link to comment

Now need to find a spot for the 20 to go....... Link to comment
THEPIPSTER Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Glad you got your's in. Looks nice! Mine are doing the lemon dance, UPS has mis-routed them TWICE! I should get them today, but I'm not expecting them alive. Is your heat pack still warm? Was your's the 160 or the 200 dollar ones? Link to comment
righttirefire Posted January 11, 2016 Author Share Posted January 11, 2016 $160. I doubt my heat pack.is warm... but it said 40 hours Link to comment

Not sure to be honest.....I might just have to make it into a RFA garden........I like these little things and not sure I want to move them into the 42..... Now need to find a spot for the 20 to go....... I'm thinking of turning the 12 into a macro and RFA garden Obviously that equals consent to buy. Hmmm I'm looking at VIP's site right now and they have a nice looking Fox Coral too. Hmmm... Saw that fox coral!!! GET IT GET IT GET IT! More photos RTF now that lights are coming on Link to comment

I doubt my heat pack.is warm... but it said 40 hours I posted this in the appreciation thread, but I just got mine and they were really cold! I just finished temp acclimating them, and while they look good now, I don't know how to tell if they are already downhill or not, refrigeration keeps things from spoiling, you know...

They generally either turn inside out or outside in and don't move/attach/etc. - at which point they seem to just disintegrate eventually. Link to comment

Thanks for that info...I'll keep an eye on them, I have them separated for now for observation. Link to comment
righttirefire Posted January 11, 2016 Author Share Posted January 11, 2016 Colder I'd better an hotter from what I've read. I've never seen a RFA go down hill. But the BTAS I've seen melt like a mushroom. You have to remember 78*f is cooler than our body temperature so they should be "cold" Good luck I love VIP reef!!! that's a nice one you got! I'm thinking of turning the 12 into a macro and RFA garden Saw that fox coral!!! GET IT GET IT GET IT! More photos RTF now that lights are coming on I'm at work silly! 45 miles from my tanks.

Got to pay off this addiction... I've got all my statement balances paid, next month will just be rodi system and I'm back with more coral money! But I'm not corals. Lol. So more beer money Link to comment
THEPIPSTER Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 I hope to get some pics up, had to go to work... ...I have to pay for these somehow. I was reading a bit, and see that RFAs are harvested from 30-60 ft down, and water is in the 50's there. Maybe it won't turn out so bad... Link to comment

You should start up a thread so people can see your tank Link to comment
righttirefire Posted January 15, 2016 Author Share Posted January 15, 2016 So water is mixing. I fed my monsters. Water change tomorrow. I fed Annie some chopped krill the piston took krill. The goby couldn't eat it so the RFAS and goby got mysis. Trio Couple I was able to seperate my rock pile and move some of these little guys around.... FTS 011516 The rogue is still around back. And a 2 others are in the rock structure and anchored deep. Link to comment
THEPIPSTER Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 Beautiful, beautiful!!! Do you have any blues only pics? If I try taking pics with blues only, everything is washed out purple with no focus. Also, I have trouble focusing closer than 1 foot away, which is weird because I can take macros of things outside the tank within 0.5 inch. I think the glass causes problems. Anyways, everything in my tank appears either blurry or too small to see in the photos...I'll have to figure it out. Link to comment
righttirefire Posted January 15, 2016 Author Share Posted January 15, 2016 All my pictures are galaxy s4 cell phone. My lighting is nanobox tide. Running the same on my blue/uv/Cyan channels and half that on my white channel. No moonlights. 36% blue and purple 35% Cyan 17% White Link to comment
righttirefire Posted January 15, 2016 Author Share Posted January 15, 2016 40% blue/uv/cyan/white/moonlight Link to comment
THEPIPSTER Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 Cool, I see. I'm going to get a cheap common party black light to see if it makes photographing with just it on better, and if things fluoresce more... also I ordered a free sample film filter from vivid to try blocking blues that way, but it hasn't arrive yet in the mail.
