Davidd Posted March 30, 2005 Share Posted March 30, 2005 Those are sweet moonlights! I hate the ones in my nc, because they're just like little spotlights, but yours are all over everything. Is that really a ten? it looks bigger to me... Link to comment
ProFlatlander15 Posted March 30, 2005 Share Posted March 30, 2005 i think you're going to need more lighting than 40W PC to keep an RBTA, it might get a little washed out... however, the moonlights do look sweet, im lookin to do some as well Link to comment
Malawianpro Posted March 31, 2005 Author Share Posted March 31, 2005 Thanx, yea it's only 10g's, managed tto get them for $20 on ebay with 4 blu leds' wasnt bad price... Pro, I checked into it more, ur right, so i just purchased an additional 40w to put on it well thinking of it i found place to get it. Could easily put a 2nd strip on there, but i may just look into seeing how much a quad costs to put on the tank instead.... Link to comment
Deleted User 8530 Posted March 31, 2005 Share Posted March 31, 2005 Well im keeping a Haitain Condy alive and doing GREAT with only 40w. The same setup as yours. I Rescued him compared to what he looked like at the store. Link to comment
Undertheradar Posted March 31, 2005 Share Posted March 31, 2005 That scooter looks like its going to die soon. It needs a bigger tank...an established tank. It is a dragonet after all. Link to comment

It is a dragonet after all. I know they are dragonnet's and i am in middle of upgrading the tank but keeping this one too. From what i know they do more readily accept frozen foods, this one takes frozen foods w/o a single problem once that food hits the water he's all over it, as for the pods, i have looked at the tank at night there are tons of pods around, which i did find odd since he's a dragonnet and should be eating them tank has been up for 4 mos, and that there are still pods all over i found odd. But he is mainly on frozen foods. I was concerened at first but he took to frozen food very easily, as i know a local guy who harvests pods.... Link to comment
Malawianpro Posted April 9, 2005 Author Share Posted April 9, 2005 Well got the pulsing xenia and GSP in, the GSP is very small and pics just aren't coming out like i hoped..Here's some updated livestock pics: I am upgrading the lighting so will have 80w over it...and am debating about getting some galaxia? is it called?

jenniebutterfly Posted April 9, 2005 Share Posted April 9, 2005 just a tip, when you are taking tank shots, shut off all lights in the room, you won't get reflections in your glass that way. other than that, looks great Link to comment
Malawianpro Posted April 9, 2005 Author Share Posted April 9, 2005 LOL thanx, i try to have them all off just on different timers...8 tanks in the same room of the SW tank, lol Link to comment

Addicted to Nano-Reefs Posted May 16, 2005 Share Posted May 16, 2005 Nice 10 gallon. What are you using for flow or current? Link to comment
Malawianpro Posted May 16, 2005 Author Share Posted May 16, 2005 just have two powerheads in there think one is rio50 other is temporaily marineland penguin, i have to gothrough ebay to get the rio's since can't get them locally here,trying to get them to hit the flow from the filters so it's not directly hitting the sandand moving it Link to comment
patio Posted May 16, 2005 Share Posted May 16, 2005 i love your scooter its soooooo cool! what kind is it? i've never seen one with a yellow fin like that! Link to comment
Kogut Posted May 16, 2005 Share Posted May 16, 2005 You scared me when your sig said "Mini Carpet Anemone" , but now that I see it's one of those kinds, I'm not worried anymore. Your tank is looking pretty good. I love the moonlight setup that you have going, too. Watch that seastar very closely since they are infamous for devouring every living thing in your sand, then biting the dust. :| Keep up the progress and good work! Link to comment
Malawianpro Posted May 16, 2005 Author Share Posted May 16, 2005 thanx he is my favorite guy too! Love the fanning he does. Just regular scooter blenny to my knowledge, commonly found at LFS. LOL kogut yea just tiny thing don't get very big...Am considering getting a new home for the seastar since been in there for about 2mos, so am sure he's gettin close to wiping everything out except i am still seeing red worms or whatever across the top of sand sprouting Link to comment
mushroom head Posted May 18, 2005 Share Posted May 18, 2005 For flow i have a mag 5.That sucks u are not having your 10gallon as a reef:( Link to comment
