Tigahboy Posted November 12, 2004 Share Posted November 12, 2004 How's the coral beauty? I really like that angel...just hesitant cuz folks say they may nip at corals and stuff. Nice tank! Link to comment
bbkid43 Posted November 12, 2004 Author Share Posted November 12, 2004 My coral beauty is doing really well, he eats like a pig. For the compatibility aspect I would not recommend to get any of the dwarf angelfishes, unless you have a tank where it is easy to net them out. When I got him, the first week he started picking at the frogspawn which caused it to fall off and die. But since that was the only lps in the tank I decided to keep the coral beauty. The only bad thing is that now I cant get any lps or clams in the tank because i'm afraid he'll pick on them. Link to comment

CBL Posted November 17, 2004 Share Posted November 17, 2004 im surprised you didnt know this, but that appears to be the rare type of acropora called neispore. You're welcome. Link to comment

Tigahboy Posted November 21, 2004 Share Posted November 21, 2004 I have the same pendant....what kinda moonlights are you running and how are they mounted? Pics of actual moonlights would be nice if you have em. =) Link to comment
bbkid43 Posted November 22, 2004 Author Share Posted November 22, 2004 I'm running car mood lights from target hooked up to a ac to dc adapter from Target...I'll post some pics later tonight. Link to comment
bbkid43 Posted November 22, 2004 Author Share Posted November 22, 2004 here are the pics...It is a 2 moonlight setup. It was $10 for the lights and $10 for the adapter. setup on tank.... ac to dc adapter... Link to comment
Tigahboy Posted November 22, 2004 Share Posted November 22, 2004 Very nice...looks like a lot of ppl going that route. Will have to check it out. Are there multiple car mood lights to choose from or will it be fairly obvious which to purchase? And how are they stuck to your tank like that? Thanks for posting pics! Link to comment
bbkid43 Posted November 22, 2004 Author Share Posted November 22, 2004 the moonlights I got are the hakari brand I think. the come with a sticky bottom so all you have to do is take off the protective paper and stick them where ever. Link to comment
CBL Posted November 27, 2004 Share Posted November 27, 2004 Excellent moonlights, bro. I also have the hakari brand. It's a neat little setup you got there with the adapters. Link to comment
bbkid43 Posted December 9, 2004 Author Share Posted December 9, 2004 I found this picture today and it's amazing to see what my tank has come from in only 4 1/2 months. Link to comment
