Lawnman Posted December 17, 2016 Author Share Posted December 17, 2016 No issues you think that you took out all the macro that was doing filtration? Mine move around some but in the 10 gallon not a lot of walking space... but once they get comfortable I think they pretty much stay put. No issues besides the tank being a little cloudy. I will toss in a skimmer if I have to since no macros to remove nutrients. Wouldn't be surprised if I get a algae bloom. Link to comment
FlowerMama Posted December 17, 2016 Share Posted December 17, 2016 Well I bought 7 the first order and a few of them ran right into the rocks and disappeared so less rock and less coral is on tap for my new addiction How do you get yours to stay in the front on the sand? Do you sing to them because I will get the pipes warmed up if needed! I do nothing, they don't seem to move too much, mine never have. In my 34 g I did have 3 that did a dance on a rock they were on, but they never left the rock. Less rock means you can more easily remove them by sliding a driver's license under neath them carefully until it gives and lets up. They are definitely social animals so put them down near each other, they'll cuddle up until they're touching each other. Maybe that's another reason I like them so much. I need to find the Barry White, these nems so far don't need encouragement though! Link to comment

shaneandjohn Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 That's a great looking new fixture Lawn, what are the over all dimensions? Does it have to be on a hanging kit, or is there a mounting bracket option? I have been considering a new light myself because I do miss the ability to have control options. I mean, my light works well, and can grow some corals, but it's either on or off! Link to comment

Sure he can rig up something he seems handy . Link to comment
shaneandjohn Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 Ok, so what model is that, and what site do I look at? I am very out of the loop when it comes to lighting, I have had the same light for about the last 5-6 years. Link to comment

His other models mostly have tank mounts included. Link to comment

I bought it used in the classifieds and had it sent to Dave for a new lid. http://nanoboxreef.com Shoot me a PM if I can be of any help buddy. Is your tank still dry? Link to comment
shaneandjohn Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 Thanks for the link Harry! That's a bad ass fixture Lawn, I am jelly..... Link to comment
shaneandjohn Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 No Lawn, it's very wet. I bought dry rock about 8 weeks ago. Built a new scape that's rock solid and cycled it in the garage in a brute can. Friday John and I broke down the tank and pulled all of the live rock out. We got all of the coral off of the rock and cleaned up the Starboard bottom a bit. We put in the new scape and mounted all of the coral. We have had no losses or stressed animals at all..knock on wood. The old rock was atleast 10 years old and had a serious case of vermited snails. I had some Bubble Algae, and other misc issues. We carefully inspected all corals, to not introduce unwanted critters. This was a long overdue reboot that needed to happen. This is the first time I have ever had a solid scape, so no more land slides and accidentally fragged corals for me! I over purchased as I always do, so sent our friend Sancho a box o rocks for Christmas.. Link to comment
