Travis Posted December 17, 2004 Author Share Posted December 17, 2004 Thanks bravoreefer, I think I will hand down my MiniBow reigns(sp?) to my younger brother. He is realy interested in the way i am doing my new tank. Ah, nothing brings a tear of joy when a new reefer is "born" Link to comment
Travis Posted December 17, 2004 Author Share Posted December 17, 2004 I think That I will add 3 more LEDs to put in the middle, the sides of the tank are AWSOME but the middle is to dark. Link to comment

Tigahboy Posted December 18, 2004 Share Posted December 18, 2004 Originally posted by Travis I try to keep a clean tank, Tigah must have rubbed off of me Thanks Haha...so do you clean your glass for any tiny speck of algae every other day too? Link to comment
Tigahboy Posted December 18, 2004 Share Posted December 18, 2004 They look like the automobile mood lights bought from Target ($9.99) that Uchiha and I have. But it looks pimp cuz he actually has 3 of em. hehe. Link to comment
Travis Posted December 18, 2004 Author Share Posted December 18, 2004 I clean the glass EVERY DAY...even if it's only one finger smugg on the outside of the glass Yeah, those are the ones, they had them at WalMart for 7 bucks Link to comment
Travis Posted December 18, 2004 Author Share Posted December 18, 2004 Ok, since it's been a week now, I am going to try a full photo period (IMO, 12 Hours). I have been running a shortened photo period for the past week (9 Hours). Hopefully it won't spike an algea bloom, but I will just have to try it to find out. Link to comment
Tigahboy Posted December 19, 2004 Share Posted December 19, 2004 Originally posted by Travis I clean the glass EVERY DAY...even if it's only one finger smugg on the outside of the glass That's my boy. haha. Thats how we keep it so fresh and so clean. Link to comment
rehren Posted December 19, 2004 Share Posted December 19, 2004 Ok, since it's been a week now, I am going to try a full photo period (IMO, 12 Hours). most people run only 10 hours with halides, since you have PC's you could go for 11, but 12 is pushing it. even if it sparks a little algae bloom you'll be fine. LEDs are nice, if you ever get a pair of peppermint or cleaner shrimp then you'll find them very useful - those shrimp tend to hatch their babies right after the lights go off, but LEDs dont' affect them - so you can see all the baby shrimp swimming around Link to comment
Travis Posted December 19, 2004 Author Share Posted December 19, 2004 I've cut the time down to 10 houra I also have been thinking about getting a Peperment shrimp pair Link to comment
rehren Posted December 19, 2004 Share Posted December 19, 2004 a pair of peppermints is a great addition, they provide natural food to the tank every two-to-three weeks. only one will get pregnant though. with cleaner shrimp, you'll have two pregnant shrimp, they take three to four weeks to hatch though. peppermints are great docile scavengers and pretty amusing.

Travis Posted December 19, 2004 Author Share Posted December 19, 2004 When pairing shrimp, are they like clowns when it comes to being sexed? (larger is female smaller is male ect ect) Or is it just a hit or miss situation? Link to comment
rehren Posted December 19, 2004 Share Posted December 19, 2004 nope, it's the easiest pairing in the world. both shrimp always remain hermaphrodites (sp?) - so just pickup any two shrimp and you're set. Link to comment
