rickjg Posted July 3, 2005 Author Share Posted July 3, 2005 Chaeto has doubled in size in just a couple of weeks (grown from that tiny piece of Chaeto in a previous post) Getting good growth in the fuge now that the Chaeto can’t escape into the pump chamber The piece of sponge keeps the Chaeto from getting into the pump chamber and the eggcrate keeps the Chaeto up close to the light Link to comment
rickjg Posted July 6, 2005 Author Share Posted July 6, 2005 Tinypic.com has dropped all of my pics. They must have confused nano-reef pics with porno pics, so I’m going to need to re-post all of my pictures. Wait, did I accidentally post my porno on this site ??? I just don’t remember what happened after the chugging that 13th MGD http://www.nano-reef.com/forums/showthread...73&goto=newpost Link to comment

embryoguy Posted August 21, 2005 Share Posted August 21, 2005 rick, great tank question. i was thinking of putting on a second pump also. you have yours pretty low. wont it get blocked by your aquascaping? what is yoru reasoning for placing it there and not higher up so it wont get blocked. thanks in advance, keep up great work. i love the led as a fuge light.

FishFreak Posted August 21, 2005 Share Posted August 21, 2005 Where'd you get your live rock? Link to comment
rickjg Posted August 21, 2005 Author Share Posted August 21, 2005 embryoguy I placed the second pump outlet at that location so I could hide it with my rock. I've also found it helps to keep the rock cleaner. I always see a little cloud of dust blow off the rock when the second pump starts up. Thanks for the kudos on the LED fuge light, it's working great. FishFreak I bought my live rock at Aquatic Warehouse in S.D. It's mostly Fiji & Tonga rock. I like to get a small new piece of live rock once in a while just to keep adding to the micro life. Link to comment
embryoguy Posted August 21, 2005 Share Posted August 21, 2005 thanks rick! that makes alot of sense. ill do the same thing thanks. Link to comment
rickjg Posted August 27, 2005 Author Share Posted August 27, 2005 Lights just came on a few minutes ago, so the corals aren’t fully expanded yet, that way you can still see most of the live rock. Growth rate is very good on the soft corals; Xenia is growing up the side of the tank for the most part, so it’s not over growing rocks. Mushrooms are out of control, with lots of singles drifting behind the rock work. SPS corals have good growth. Hammer & Frogspawn are not showing much growth, but very healthy with good color. Surface skimmer really keeps the water surface clear Link to comment
MadTownMax Posted August 27, 2005 Share Posted August 27, 2005 nice work Rick - that's what I'm talking about! Link to comment

With the xenia growing on the back & glass of the tank it’s easy to remove the excess growth with a razor blade. Originally posted by Travis Nice Rick J G.

Travis Posted September 11, 2005 Share Posted September 11, 2005 Rick, we are all safe. We are on the West side of Louisiana. Infact, we didn't even get a drop of rain from that storm. Link to comment
Fishfreak218 Posted September 11, 2005 Share Posted September 11, 2005 you said you have had him for 3 years and he still is small enough to fit in a 6g. i think i just might get one for a new tank which i am planning..the Current Aquapod (12g., nanocube look-a-like)if you want to see its on nanotuners.com Link to comment

The trick is just not over feeding. I feed my clown three or four pieces of food twice a day, Monday thru Friday, (and I do mean pieces, not pinches) and no food on weekends & holidays (it’s an office nano). By the way, I use mini-size slow sinking pellets, never flake food. Not over feeding cuts down on excess algae growth too. If Chris is selling the Current Aquapod, it must be a good tank setup. A 12-gallon tank should be large enough for a pair of clowns. Rick Link to comment
