phillyclownfish Posted January 10, 2016 Author Share Posted January 10, 2016 Jawfish jumped last night or this morning. Was fine at 2am but when I came near the tank this morning couldn't find him anywhere. Looked behind the tank and he was dried out. Was using a temporary top but still didn't matter. Where do you keep the larger tunze top off reservoir? Right next to the tank in a closet. Link to comment
phillyclownfish Posted January 31, 2016 Author Share Posted January 31, 2016 So i got a male blue mandarin this week and so far so good. Got two bags full of pods and put them in the sump. Hopefully they maintain for him. My potters dwarf angel came in dead though. LFS will order a new one. UPS took two days instead of one...Looking for my old digital camera to take some actual pics.

spectra Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 Looks good and the Reefers are a sweet set up! Link to comment
phillyclownfish Posted February 2, 2016 Author Share Posted February 2, 2016 Looks good and the Reefers are a sweet set up! Yes they are. Debating on a 250. Link to comment
spectra Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 Yes they are. Debating on a 250. Yep I wanted the 250 but 36 was to wide for my spot. The 170 was to cubish for me so went with a Versa instead. I wanted the Lagoon 50 but no sump just was not good for me. I have a Fusion 20 now and it works but there is better out there.

I wanted the Lagoon 50 but no sump just was not good for me. I have a Fusion 20 now and it works but there is better out there. It would technically be too wide for me as well but it could be done. The 170 is cubish but compared to my 20g AIO it has so much room in it that you can actually do a reef tank. Much better then my biocube 29 as well. That being said you could not keep a tang in it so the 250 and 350 just have the better design measurements for a tank. Link to comment

It has been grazing though so im hoping that he is getting some food else where. Going to try some garlic tomorrow. Hate using it but when in need I will lol. Link to comment
phillyclownfish Posted February 6, 2016 Author Share Posted February 6, 2016 Just ordered the Reefer 250. Going to sell the 170. Link to comment
ninjamyst Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 nice! you will need the 350 for tangs =P. Link to comment
phillyclownfish Posted March 11, 2016 Author Share Posted March 11, 2016 The 250 has been up and running for about a month now. New fish include a kole tang and a purple tang. Purple is about 2" maybe. New invert is a green bubble tip nem. Kessil has been removed and a radion xr30w has been installed. Link to comment

Pancetta Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 How do you like the Radion compared to the Kessil? I have a Reefer 170 on order and am considering the XR15W. David Link to comment

David Both are very different but the Radion is super powerful and also has the lunar mode. But the Kessil had that shimmer... Link to comment
Pancetta Posted March 11, 2016 Share Posted March 11, 2016 Yes, everyone likes "da shimmer"! Kessils are very popular in my area. They make them here. One of my LFS guys used to work for them. But I think the Radion provides more even lighting. Shadows seem more pronounced with the Kessils. I have also heard the Radions are more controllable. There are more options to control color and intensity. Link to comment
phillyclownfish Posted March 12, 2016 Author Share Posted March 12, 2016 Yeah your spot on about both lights. Link to comment
Rural Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 i like radions. my only other consideration would be nanobox with multiple arrays. get a radion30 so you get 2 pucks to limit shading and put the wide lens in! philly clown, try the wide angle lens on yours, i am really digging the wide on mine right now.

phillyclownfish Posted March 15, 2016 Author Share Posted March 15, 2016 Got home tonight and the potters angel was acting weird the last two days. Got home and white stuff all over him. Checked the purple tang and was covered in white spots. Went to the store and set up a QT tank and starting hypo salinity. Also got some kordon. Hope the kole, clowns and wrasse dont get it in the display. All look ok at the moment. Link to comment
phillyclownfish Posted March 16, 2016 Author Share Posted March 16, 2016 Potters passed away last night. Purple Tang is still in QT and not eating. Male clown was out of it bad this morning in the display so I pulled him and hes now in the QT and is at least eating and looks better. Problem is female is in the display so I am worried the male will change to female while in QT. Female clown, wrasse and Kole tang are all eating well in the display and show no signs of any disease issues. Link to comment
phillyclownfish Posted March 19, 2016 Author Share Posted March 19, 2016 Both the purple tang and male clown are both eating well in the qt. Probably going to have to get rid of both once they are healthy.... Link to comment
phillyclownfish Posted March 22, 2016 Author Share Posted March 22, 2016 Everyone is in the QT now. Sold the kole tang so I can keep the purple tang. Coral only display tank Link to comment
