exigency Posted June 13, 2006 Author Share Posted June 13, 2006 i love it since i only got it for 10 dollars, haha, it works real well to me, i want to change the actual bulb though. i'll do a pic update of my tank soon enough, i've got it kinda packed, i'll probably get flamed for some of the things i have in it =x Link to comment

irishtexan Posted June 15, 2006 Share Posted June 15, 2006 Looks great! Cool fish too, as long as they go to a larger setup when they grow bigger. texan Link to comment

Obsessed Reefer Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 Update? Beautiful clown. Link to comment
SnowShiva Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 Hey do you have any probs with the fish? Do they add a lot of bioload? I know you are going to transfer them but just wondering how they cope in a 3gal Link to comment
ToeJam Posted July 21, 2006 Share Posted July 21, 2006 cool looking pico! i just bought that exact light fixutre for my tank... how do you like it? It looks like it works fairly well, and looks slick as well. I just bought this light off eBay for my Picotope today. Can't wait to get it set up. Link to comment
exigency Posted July 27, 2006 Author Share Posted July 27, 2006 Update? Beautiful clown. thanks, i will update later today. i've been busy with college, work, and what not. Hey do you have any probs with the fish? Do they add a lot of bioload? I know you are going to transfer them but just wondering how they cope in a 3gal i have absolutely no problems with the fish. the sixline is now gone into a bigger tank, i only have the clown and it is doing fine. i've received many comments about stunting of the fish and what not, but it seems to have shown some growth as commented by visitors of my house. the clown will be gone soon though, i may make it an all coral tank, or maybe have a tiny neon or clown goby. I just bought this light off eBay for my Picotope today. Can't wait to get it set up. haha, i am actually thinking about buying a coralife 32w PC instead, i've heard that the spectrum of the odyssea lights isn't perfect or something of the other, but i'll continue to look into that. otherwise, it's a cool looking light and it's been working well enough to allow my acan lord to develop some more polyps, and i presume that's good.

From all that I have read, the spectrum shift of the lights is due to the bulbs that they send with the fixture. Seems like they ship it with a crappy bulb which I will probably replace within a month or two. Glad to hear that is allowing your acan to grow. It seems like it should be enough light to sustain just about anything you would want to put in a 3G tank. My light should be here today. At least that is what the UPS website tells me. We shall see.

exigency Posted September 11, 2006 Author Share Posted September 11, 2006 ahhh! i just recently moved to arlington, not far from my former location of garland for college. my tank is on the fritz after just getting over a cyano breakout. i'll really try and update this time and i've got a whole lot of new stuff that some of you may want to see! a lot has changed, i'll take some pictures this week for sure.

exigency Posted September 13, 2006 Author Share Posted September 13, 2006 well, i don't know many people out here in arlington, so i had to take pictures with my camera PHONE. the quality is very, very bad and you can't really see my corals very well. once i get a better camera, maybe i could impress some of you few.

ToeJam Posted September 13, 2006 Share Posted September 13, 2006 yeah, that's what i've read too, but i've been to lazy to search the net for a bulb, if you do find one, please let me know . Your pico is looking great! I just bought a Coralife 50/50 bulb from ThatPetPlace. The bulb was $13.49 plus shipping. I haven't gotten it yet, but I think it should be a much better bulb than the one that came with the fixture. Here is a link to my tank as it sits now. Link to comment
exigency Posted September 13, 2006 Author Share Posted September 13, 2006 well, i am actually thinking about buying a 70w mh retro fit for my pico, but thanks! i still might used my fixture with an atinic light bulb though from, i believe it was illuming.com Link to comment

I am thinking about doing the same thing myself. I will check out illuming to see what they have. I just don't feel that the 24W light is enough. I want to try some SPS in the tank, so the MH would be good. Link to comment
exigency Posted September 13, 2006 Author Share Posted September 13, 2006 haha, i have some sps and they are doing alright, they've actually retained their colors under my pcs. LampDr., the owner of illuming (i think) is selling 70w MH retrofit kits, http://www.nano-reef.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=97189 Link to comment
exigency Posted September 13, 2006 Author Share Posted September 13, 2006 i've got some more pictures from my phone that i just took. i thought i could take better pictures, but i've given up, so i just took a bunch of pics of random things in the tank. multicolored zoo rock with blues, greens, and beiges. a couple of more zoos and sps pieces. a sideview of my tank. i left the legs of my odyssea fixture back home. orange paly's orange fungia, the camera does it absolutely no justice. some more zoos and a frogspawn. my acan lord that isn't looking too pretty in the picture.
