Angel Posted August 16, 2004 Share Posted August 16, 2004 Hmmm, where to start? Oh, I know. 2 days ago, can we say research, research, research, before we buy livestock? Tank isn't even cycled, poor leather. Link to comment
rock12 Posted August 16, 2004 Share Posted August 16, 2004 can you take it back? I hope so i wouldn't want to see it die:(! Link to comment
Spasticat Posted August 16, 2004 Share Posted August 16, 2004 It looks like someone took a dump in a glass box. Link to comment
kingtech Posted August 16, 2004 Share Posted August 16, 2004 There does appear to be sanity to this madness. Looks like this is a follow up to these threads: http://www.nano-reef.com/forums/showthread...&threadid=37520 http://www.nano-reef.com/forums/showthread...&threadid=37521 Looks like he did not explain this is a QT tank Link to comment
RandomLetters Posted August 16, 2004 Share Posted August 16, 2004 Looks good no need for lighting upgrade halogen bulbs are much better then PC's or Mh bulbs. You should get clams. Panther groupers make good nano reef fish too. Link to comment
dieselraver Posted August 16, 2004 Author Share Posted August 16, 2004 ok this is turning into something bad, sorry i didnt mention the rock is being QT'ed lol and thanks Spasticat It looks like someone took a dump in a glass box. i can see you know how to really express yourself. 1. the rock was from a 55Gallon tank that was ich ridden, i had no idea till i got there to purchase it and looked at this guys foxface covered in white spots, i almost felt sorry for the whole tank 2. the leather was attached to the rock and both the trunk of the leather and the rock was covered completely in diatom/hair algae, the tank was honestly set up so the chlorine could disappate naturally but being that i wasnt sure about the condition of the rock (if ich cycsts were living on the rock) i QT'ed the whole thing in the nano, obviously there are no fish in this tank, only salt water with a splash of amquel + and a couple drops of seachem's calcium suppliment/iodine mixture 2. obviously the tank was just filled and left on my kitchen counter, this is not where its going to be, it was kind of a surprise with the rock 3. why would the leather die????????? thats by far the dumbest thing ive heard, you dont give any explanation but spurt out stupidities. this leather is huge its 9" x 12" fully extended, obviously this isnt the greatest conditions but the water is fully conditioned, room temperature, and doesnt even need to cycle. get your facts straight before you start stoning! edit: and thankyou Kingtech for having some common sense to know that it would be absurd to call this a "nano system" i appreciate you showing them the other threads i posted. i also posted it here http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/showthre...threadid=420317 Link to comment

dieselraver Posted August 16, 2004 Author Share Posted August 16, 2004 you know now that i read my first post, it does seem quite comical, almost crazy it sounds like someone created a tank and these are the pictures of the tank on a counter somewhere sorry but i took offense to peoples comments, i have had quite a number of tanks under my belt which include a 29g reef, a 110 fowlr and a 10gal nano i have been in this hobby for over a year now, just FYI Link to comment
dieselraver Posted August 16, 2004 Author Share Posted August 16, 2004 what would you do with a 8# rock with a leather attached to it? put it in your main system and pray it doesnt get everything sick? or put it in your QT tank where you know you've used copper? you pick. Link to comment
ELGORDOINAVW Posted August 16, 2004 Share Posted August 16, 2004 how about removing most of the rock off the leather. Link to comment
corriewf Posted August 16, 2004 Share Posted August 16, 2004 Originally posted by ELGORDOINAVW how about removing most of the rock off the leather. Wouldnt it be easier to remove the leather from the rock then to remove the rock from the leather....lol Link to comment
Spasticat Posted August 16, 2004 Share Posted August 16, 2004 I'm sorry, but it does look like a huge piece of poop in a tank next to a sink. and you posted in a thread called "Members' Nano Reef" From that I conclude: Your nano reef looks like a huge dump. Link to comment
reefer21 Posted August 16, 2004 Share Posted August 16, 2004 Dude, give the guy a break. He will learn from his own mistakes next time. Everyone makes mistakes one time or another. Although, I would suggest remove the rock from the leather because the rock can hold bad parasites that can get into your main system (even if you are to quarantine it). Or you could try to cut the size of the rock down. QT tanks should have no substrate and rocks in them (only a small power head to keep the water circulating). And QT tanks are not to suppose to look beautiful (they are suppose to look like crap) Link to comment
