RoboPhung Posted September 24, 2004 Share Posted September 24, 2004 Here it is. Let me know what you guys think. Oops I cut off a branching hammer with 2 heads on the left side from the pic. The quality of my digicam sucks. My fuge, airstone skimmer filtration combo. Housing a small piece of caluerpa, chaeto, and unidentified macro. Link to comment
TiGs Posted September 24, 2004 Share Posted September 24, 2004 Lets see a full tank shot Link to comment
supernip Posted September 24, 2004 Share Posted September 24, 2004 is that an aqualight plus or aqualight pro? Link to comment
RoboPhung Posted September 24, 2004 Author Share Posted September 24, 2004 You mean a full tank shot that shows my lighting and everything? The first pic is pretty much my whole tank minus a 2headed hammer frag on the left side. Link to comment
Markster Posted September 24, 2004 Share Posted September 24, 2004 Did that light fixture come with your HOB fuge or did you buy it somewhere separate? Looks very nice! Link to comment
RoboPhung Posted September 24, 2004 Author Share Posted September 24, 2004 The fuge is a modified ac500. The light is a clipon I bought at an LFS. 13w pc running a 6500k bulb. Chaeto growth is VERY slow under it...but it's cool my nitrates still stay below 5ppm. Link to comment
RoboPhung Posted September 24, 2004 Author Share Posted September 24, 2004 Originally posted by supernip is that an aqualight plus or aqualight pro? U mean the light for my tank?? All I know is that its the coralife 96w aqualight. Don't even know there was a plus and a pro model. Link to comment
supernip Posted September 24, 2004 Share Posted September 24, 2004 your acros might not do so well under that light They'll survive and grow but color will not be too spectacular. Link to comment
RoboPhung Posted September 26, 2004 Author Share Posted September 26, 2004 I picked up some wannabe PPE frag today and did some changes in aquascape...here are the pics. Full tank shot: Here are my wannabe PPE's. The purple acro propped in the corner of the tank will be mounted as soon as I pick up some superglue from the store. Also has a nice close up of the cup coral I got recently Closeup of my new staghorn hermit. I saw him at the LFS. He was pricey for a hermit at 10 bux but I couldn't resist. Shot of the left side of my tank with the hammer that was cutoff in the original pictures. Better shot of my best invested piece of equipment ever. AC500 with surface skimmer housing chaeto and unidentified macro on the far left. Anyone know what macro that is? Anyway here are my tank specs: -Cheapy 10 gallon AGA tank -Modified AC500 Fuge with surface skimmer attachment and Coralife airstone skimmer mounted inside. -Coralife 96w powerquad aqualight. -Cool bendable 13w pc clipon to light fuge. -Semi-dependable rio mini powerhead. Inhabitants include: Bicolor pseudochromis Yellow clown goby Like 6 or 7 blue leg dwarf hermits Electric blue hermit Scarlett red hermit Staghorn hermit 2 Bumblebee snails 6-7 Margarita snails Corals include: Green hammer Brown acro Purple acro Yellow cup Various zoo's Nappy red mushrooms that i really dislike 2 headed candycane frag GSP's that aren't that green Flowerpot Link to comment
EnFuego Posted September 29, 2004 Share Posted September 29, 2004 Can you explain exactly how you turned a AC500 into a fuge? What type skimmer is in there? Thanks Link to comment
EnFuego Posted September 29, 2004 Share Posted September 29, 2004 oh sorry, i just saw the refugium section...nevermind Link to comment
smokez01 Posted October 3, 2004 Share Posted October 3, 2004 i like the really blueish look of the tank, i am thinking about a ac500 fuge of a ac300 i would be interested in a skimmer but i dont lke that big attachment so ill prolly just buy the filter for a fuge still undecided Link to comment
RoboPhung Posted October 3, 2004 Author Share Posted October 3, 2004 the blueish look is more a camera trick than anything. I turned down the whitebalance of my digital camera cuz i think the picture looks clearer that way. The powerquad fixture looks just white...a little too white for my tastes. Looks like I'm upgrading to MH anyway in the near future. Link to comment
Asin Posted October 4, 2004 Share Posted October 4, 2004 RoboPhung, How did you attach the flare nozzle to your PH? I've got two MJ 606's that I want to do that to, but I can't find the right size. -Asin Link to comment
RoboPhung Posted October 4, 2004 Author Share Posted October 4, 2004 my flare nozzle came with my PH. It's a Rio 50. Link to comment

Brian da lion Posted October 9, 2004 Share Posted October 9, 2004 great job on the aquascaping Link to comment
RoboPhung Posted October 10, 2004 Author Share Posted October 10, 2004 Thanks...I got rid of my ugly mushroom rock and put in a couple new zoo frags. My purple acro seems to be coloring more too. Here are some updated pictures. Link to comment
RoboPhung Posted October 10, 2004 Author Share Posted October 10, 2004 Something ate my staghorn...I only had it for a week. And I also gave the clown goby back to lfs, it kept rubbing up on my acros irritating the polyps. Link to comment
Travis Posted October 10, 2004 Share Posted October 10, 2004 You can't keep Clown Gobies with Acros for that simple reason Link to comment
Telecaster Posted October 10, 2004 Share Posted October 10, 2004 Are you going to hang that AquaStarLight over the tank? Link to comment
RoboPhung Posted October 10, 2004 Author Share Posted October 10, 2004 Yeah i am, after i get a 20k bulb. I'll post pics after its done. Link to comment
