Shorty5198 Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 Travis, you should think about getting a quarantine set up. maybe a 10 gallon or somethin. I'd put the clown in there and do a copper sulfate dosage. That stuffs a little more rough on the fish but since your clown seems to have velvet bad, i'd go for it. Don't do a freshwater dip. It's a pretty old way to get rid of parasites and causes too much stress on your fish, and sometimes it doesn't work. In order for it to really fully work, they have to be in there for a good time, and that leads to osmotic shock wich after that, its pretty much over. Try to set-up a quarantine and get some copper runnin and you should be ok. Good luck. Link to comment
Travis Posted February 18, 2005 Author Share Posted February 18, 2005 Well came home today to find the clown dead and half eaten my the hermits and shrimp. I did a small WC and everything in the tank looks great. I just took a few pics and Soon as I get them resized, I will post them Link to comment
Travis Posted February 18, 2005 Author Share Posted February 18, 2005 Well here's the pics Rics Side Shot (Look how big the Toad Stool has gotten ) Here's the full tank shot. The GSP Colony isn't all the way open because of the Water change. What do you guys think? Link to comment
BKtomodachi Posted February 18, 2005 Share Posted February 18, 2005 Man, thats looking great! That toadstool wont fit in there much longer! Link to comment
Travis Posted February 18, 2005 Author Share Posted February 18, 2005 Well, I think that I will just Frag the Toad when it comes time. Thanks Link to comment
Kogut Posted February 18, 2005 Share Posted February 18, 2005 Looking very good, dude! I love the toadstool. It looks as if you're cursed w/ clowns. You might have to fall back in the ocellaris which are supposedly much hardier... Sorry about the loss. Link to comment
MiniReefin Posted February 18, 2005 Share Posted February 18, 2005 look at the coraline. lookin good. sorry about your Clown luck. Link to comment

Travis Posted February 18, 2005 Author Share Posted February 18, 2005 Kogut Thanks man. Unfortunantly that was the Ocellarus MiniReefin Thanks. Yeah, ther is alot of Coraline. I am haveing to clean the glass every few days 8) warrior_boy I am lovin' the way I did the sand bed. Now, all you see is beautiful white sand and no ugly looking benificial bateria on the front of my tank. In the Back, it's like a 5" deep sand bed Link to comment

Tigahboy Posted February 18, 2005 Share Posted February 18, 2005 I like the sloped sand...does it stay that way or do you have to keep pushing it back? tank has come a long way, dude! Link to comment
Travis Posted February 18, 2005 Author Share Posted February 18, 2005 Thanks Tigah, The Sand does stay to the back unless the hermits or snails push it back down. Link to comment
Travis Posted February 18, 2005 Author Share Posted February 18, 2005 TheCheat, I am useing Figi Pink Fine Grade Sand. Link to comment
Travis Posted February 19, 2005 Author Share Posted February 19, 2005 Well, I did some Reaquascapeing today. I have more caves and more places to place corals. I will post pics when the dust settles Link to comment
Shaz Posted February 20, 2005 Share Posted February 20, 2005 Im looking forward to the pics Link to comment
Travis Posted February 20, 2005 Author Share Posted February 20, 2005 Well, the corals were half way open, but oh well. Here's the pics What do you guys think? Link to comment
Travis Posted February 20, 2005 Author Share Posted February 20, 2005 Ok, I am going to be upgrading to MH within the next 2 Months. I've decided to retro a 150w Retro, which I will put together myself, into the Aqualight. Here is what I will be using.. Ballast Socket Bulb Thoughts? Link to comment
Travis Posted February 20, 2005 Author Share Posted February 20, 2005 Do you guys think I should go with that bulb? or with a 20000 Bulb? Link to comment
MiniReefin Posted February 20, 2005 Share Posted February 20, 2005 what do you mean "in the Aqualight"? You got the Aqua_shell? just buy the Ocean Light. Plus , i would go with A 250w, especially on the long. But thats just me. BTW, tank is lookin very nice. Link to comment
Kogut Posted February 20, 2005 Share Posted February 20, 2005 I've got the 250 watt pendant on my tank (as you probably know) . 20K is a color I love, but I am missing the growth effect of the lower K range bulbs. 14K would probably make things grow more and wouldn't sacrifice too much of the great color. I like the new look of the tank. I think you should add a wrasse or something. Would give you a lot of color and much more swimming activity. That chromis looks great, though. Link to comment
Travis Posted February 20, 2005 Author Share Posted February 20, 2005 MiniReefin, I am reffring to my Coralife Aqualight. I Might be able to sqeeze in the 250w, but then again, I can always go with a DIY Pendant. Kogut, Thanks man. I think that I am just going to go with 2 more Chromises and call it a day with fish. That way I can spend more time, money, and effort with stocking the tank with corals. Link to comment
Shaz Posted February 20, 2005 Share Posted February 20, 2005 I dont think you should need to go with the 250w... 150w is plenty IMO, especially on your tank Link to comment
