rock12 Posted August 20, 2004 Share Posted August 20, 2004 can we see a full tank shot?! Link to comment
tippmann03 Posted August 20, 2004 Author Share Posted August 20, 2004 Here are 3 tank shots from a week or 2 ago...the toadstool isnt open in the first pic, and since these photos i've trimed back a bunch of zoos that were crowding the once blue acro, some more zoos around the green mushoom, and the the xenia in the front. and the xenia in the back has grown even more and the yuma in front is opening larger and larger daily. (it lost its once very bring colors and nearly died in my 46 gal for no apparent reason) hope you like it... Link to comment
matt the fiddler Posted August 20, 2004 Share Posted August 20, 2004 nice nice nice// you might try some mreo LR in there- make it tall-- you will haev mroe surface area for coral frags!!!! Link to comment
tippmann03 Posted August 21, 2004 Author Share Posted August 21, 2004 ya if i did it again i would build the live rock so that it slanted up towards the back cause i loose space in the back as it is now. However the way i have it now does allow me to keep my frogspawn that i love to much in the back, out of the other corals' way. And at this point i dont really feel like moving all the corals to add more rock (alot of them are epoxy'd in). Link to comment

DRZL-sauras Posted August 25, 2004 Share Posted August 25, 2004 alk part of bionic but baking soda works great and is "economical" ... On the SPS note: i have 135W actinic PC and a 70W DE 10K halide ON my 20L 12" in deep tank and i dont have enough to keep an acro frag i recieved happy. mont digi and cap are doing well though but also they are a bit less light demanding. Calc 500+ Alk 10. that is my experience if i ever do anything SPS i will go at least 150DE. Link to comment
FishingInMyNano Posted August 25, 2004 Share Posted August 25, 2004 how old is the tank, and how long have you had that clam? was that picture taken recently? Link to comment

DarkXerox Posted August 27, 2004 Share Posted August 27, 2004 Originally posted by tippmann03 The bright green slimer is now not quite so bright anymore and as with the tort, No growth so far, but it really hasn’t been that long a time yet to tell if it will grow or not. Surviving #4 Hey tippmann, what kind of clam is that next to the sps in that pic? That color is really different! Link to comment

I think the SPS you speak of in the sand is a candycane, and the clam looks to be a Crocea. Link to comment
tippmann03 Posted August 27, 2004 Author Share Posted August 27, 2004 that is a LPS Candy Cane in the sand, and it is a crocea. There is also another 1 inch clam, Maxima, next to the green acro in the back, buts its heard to see. Link to comment
DarkXerox Posted August 27, 2004 Share Posted August 27, 2004 so thats a pink colored maxima next to the green slimer? Wow, all I have ever seen are the normal bluish ones and the occasional black one. So what do you feed them since they're under PC lighting? Just phytoplankton and such? Link to comment
tippmann03 Posted August 29, 2004 Author Share Posted August 29, 2004 Actually its just about the same color as the crocea, but in the pic the mantel isnt fully extended so it kinda looks pink. I feed DT's phyto once or twice a week. Link to comment
Telecaster Posted August 29, 2004 Share Posted August 29, 2004 Does the Aqua-Clear surface skimmer slip right onto the Whisper filter's intake tube or did you have to do any mods to make it fit? Link to comment
tippmann03 Posted August 29, 2004 Author Share Posted August 29, 2004 its a tight fit but it goes right on. You just take off the grated half of the tube and it fits on. Link to comment
