fishfreak0114 Posted December 28, 2015 Share Posted December 28, 2015 Nice video! Tanks looking good. I love that hawkfish, why type is it? Also, what type of snails were on the glass? Quote Link to comment
uwharrie Posted December 28, 2015 Author Share Posted December 28, 2015 Flame Hawk pretty sure the snail is a Nerite. The do a good job on algae but they lay eggs everywhere. I am scraping eggs off the glass daily ( and you can see them all over the back glass. Nice video! Tanks looking good. I love that hawkfish, why type is it?Also, what type of snails were on the glass? Quote Link to comment

Idaho ken Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 How does that hawk and maroon clown get along? Quote Link to comment
uwharrie Posted January 25, 2016 Author Share Posted January 25, 2016 Acutally quite well. The maroon was the first fish in ( Newby mistake) So I had to chose fish that could handle living with him. I only have three fish the Maroon,Hawk and a sixline wrasse How does that hawk and maroon clown get along? 1 Quote Link to comment
EquinsuOcha Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 2 Questions for you! 1. With your StevesLED do you notice dark spots at the top right, left and back of the tank? What power % do you use? 2. moonlight kit from Steves, do you notice any adverse side effects from using different color lighting? Quote Link to comment
uwharrie Posted January 25, 2016 Author Share Posted January 25, 2016 the lighting intensity is less at the rear of the tank brightest in the center. My guess is the biocube "lens" cover has something to do with that. The moonlighting is not bright enough to do much. I only use the blue at night and need to replace the led strip as the blues seem to be at the end of their life cycle. Quote Link to comment
EquinsuOcha Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 I was interested in the moonlight from stevesled, But hesitant. Quote Link to comment
uwharrie Posted January 25, 2016 Author Share Posted January 25, 2016 I bought my replacement on amazon for $12 ( comes with the strip, transformer and remote) I was interested in the moonlight from stevesled, But hesitant. Quote Link to comment
uwharrie Posted March 20, 2016 Author Share Posted March 20, 2016 Just posted a FTS from today. Lowering the light level seemed to help Quote Link to comment
uwharrie Posted March 22, 2016 Author Share Posted March 22, 2016 well the last vestige of the Acan bailed. I so had hoped it would stick around. So FRUSTRATING!! But everything else looks good. Live and learn Quote Link to comment

fishfreak0114 Posted March 23, 2016 Share Posted March 23, 2016 The tanks looking great! really starting to fill in nice What are those softies at the front in the sand? Quote Link to comment
uwharrie Posted March 23, 2016 Author Share Posted March 23, 2016 Kenya Trees. Grow like weeds! ( but I like them) The tanks looking great! really starting to fill in nice What are those softies at the front in the sand? And the GSP and other frags on the rack... I am still trying to decide if I want to go ahead and place them in the tank or not. I have been holding off till I get the 4.2 up and running (GSP to be on back wall) but the way it is going it may be a few months before I can get back to the LFS. My goal is to have both tanks back wall covered with GSP Quote Link to comment

uwharrie Posted February 1, 2017 Author Share Posted February 1, 2017 thanks! I know there use to be a button on the tool bar that allowed photos to be inserted. for some reason the tool bar is no longer active. The tank is still having issues with algae but it is getting better, slowly! 1 Quote Link to comment
uwharrie Posted February 4, 2017 Author Share Posted February 4, 2017 FTS as of today 2/4/2017 still dealing with GHA but I think it is better 1 Quote Link to comment
uwharrie Posted February 4, 2017 Author Share Posted February 4, 2017 It always is a work in progress! Seems I go from one issue to another, but I refuse to give up! 1 Quote Link to comment
uwharrie Posted February 5, 2019 Author Share Posted February 5, 2019 Not sure it is good to revisit a build thread after two years. I see SO many corals that have come and gone. Not sure what I am doing wrong as it seems they do well and then they do not. The only thing that changed was I added a lighting control back in 2017 Before I was just eyeballing the lights.

Newstead Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 I know that feeling, looking back at pics and remembering the corals I have lost. Hopefully we will soon be looking at how our tanks are flourishing again! Quote Link to comment
