Sum_Reefer Posted November 19, 2005 Author Share Posted November 19, 2005 Oh yeah I got like 10 snails. Some are very small but you see them sometimes. The rock has tons of coraline on it. The back of the big one on the left is covered in pink coraline. But it is just flat thats why it is in the back. I will need more time to see if I got anymore hitchikers. I have only had the rock in the tank for about 4 days. I am hoping more will show up. Good ones that is. I will keep posting pics as new stuff arrives. Link to comment
minimalist Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 Very nice. I look forward to seeing photos once you have some livestock. Link to comment
Sum_Reefer Posted November 21, 2005 Author Share Posted November 21, 2005 Yeah me too!!!! I am just waiting for my tank to cycle. Link to comment
Sum_Reefer Posted November 22, 2005 Author Share Posted November 22, 2005 Well here is a shot of my macro I picked up today. Holy crap did I get some hitchhikers with this. A snail, clam, hermit, and a bunch of bugs and worms. Pretty cool I am just pondering what is going to crawl out of this grass next. Hopefully nothing bad. Link to comment
Ann Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 Interesting Macro algae, is it a type of Chaetomorpha? Best regards Ann Link to comment
Sum_Reefer Posted November 23, 2005 Author Share Posted November 23, 2005 I am not sure of the name exactly. The guy at my LFS told me it was called sea grass. I actually got a large piece of live rock with it and they only charged me $6. I feel I got a pretty good deal. I saw two bristle worms on it last night. Tons of hitchhikers. I will post pics. I am going in there this weekend I will post the name for you Ann. Link to comment
Sum_Reefer Posted December 1, 2005 Author Share Posted December 1, 2005 I have the evil red slime algae in my fuge. I increased my flow hopefully this will cure the problem. I am still cycling will have new pics soon. Link to comment
Sum_Reefer Posted December 6, 2005 Author Share Posted December 6, 2005 Some updates.....I did get rid of the red algae....I have a couple of zoo's that have just become noticable. Also have 2 featherdusters arise as well. I am nearing the end of my cycle. I will start adding livestock as soon as possible. Will post pics soon. Link to comment

Sum_Reefer Posted December 11, 2005 Author Share Posted December 11, 2005 Cycle done. Some livestock in. Shroom's and a couple Zoa. Link to comment
Ann Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 Excellent! How's the macro algae growing in your refugium? The Chaetomorph in mine seems to have stopped growing now. Best regards Ann Link to comment
Sum_Reefer Posted December 12, 2005 Author Share Posted December 12, 2005 Funny you should ask. Not good at all. I am thinking I need better lighting. I am using a 5100k 10W right now. I don't think it is doing the trick. Plus there are like 10 bristle worms the size of texas in my fuge I think that is contributing to the death of my macro. I am going to get some more some time this week and some more coral. Link to comment

Sum_Reefer Posted December 31, 2005 Author Share Posted December 31, 2005 I am out of the contest. My tank cracked late last night and drained about 50% of its water. Not sure why it cracked. Must be from such thin glass. Was able to save everything. Up till the late AM transfering it all into a 5g hex. Good luck to everyone in the contest. Link to comment
Sum_Reefer Posted December 31, 2005 Author Share Posted December 31, 2005 Just a pic of what my pico has become. Well this is what I constructed late in the AM when my contest pico cracked. It has. 3x20 coralife 50/50 screw ins. Yes under stock hood. Running PC fan. Very easy mod. 50W Hydor Theo heater. Temp stays around 78-80. 6Lb LS 6Lb LR Not what I had in mind but it turned out pretty good. Link to comment
Ann Posted January 1, 2006 Share Posted January 1, 2006 Noooo, nightmare!! I'm glad that you managed to save everything, it could so easily have gone the other way if you'd been out when the tank cracked. The new set-up looks good, I hope that it fares better than the previous one. Best regards Ann Link to comment
Sum_Reefer Posted January 3, 2006 Author Share Posted January 3, 2006 Thanks Ann. Good luck to you. Your contest pico looks great. Link to comment
