demodan Posted July 3, 2002 Share Posted July 3, 2002 Here are some pics of my reefs. Feedback is encouraged. Link to comment
eferna Posted July 3, 2002 Share Posted July 3, 2002 nice, you got some heavy waves going on there..Give us some specs on the tank.. Link to comment
demodan Posted July 3, 2002 Author Share Posted July 3, 2002 Specs, ok. It's an eclipse 12, I use the built in pump for a sump, no filter. 20 lbs each ls/lr. Rio 600 pump for extra water movement. I keep the salinity at 1.024. The lighting is a smartlight 32w. Green star polyp, fragged three times, green euphy hammer, yellow zooanwhatevertheheck, 15 astrea snails, sally lightfoot crab, 10 reef hermits(blue leg). There were two sallys, but one ate the other, after having babies. The babies are like crabs, but with shrimp tails. I started this tank in feb. Link to comment
Sahin Posted July 3, 2002 Share Posted July 3, 2002 Big pics. Nice fresh setup. I really like the look of the Zooanthids. Hammer coral looks nice. The hammer coral would be better placed about mid level rather tham on the sand. You could bring those Xooanthids on the right hand side uppermost rock down and place the hammer coral there? Nice setup. Specs would be nice to have. Link to comment
NaNO ReeFiN Posted July 3, 2002 Share Posted July 3, 2002 Very nice tank, the liverock you picked out there looks great. That's a lot of snails you have there in your tank... Link to comment
JIM27 Posted July 4, 2002 Share Posted July 4, 2002 Lets try to resize the pic next time, k? Anyway, those polyps with the orange center are BEAUTIFUL. I want some. Link to comment
demodan Posted July 4, 2002 Author Share Posted July 4, 2002 JIM27, I have so freakin' many of the green ones, which of the smaller rocks do you like, and what do you have to trade? And yes, next time I will make it smaller. Link to comment
rhinoivory Posted July 4, 2002 Share Posted July 4, 2002 Ok, this is gonna sound dumb, but I really like the surface of the rock you have chosen, I luv that rough texture, great natural look. I really like the "cliff" to the right of the picture with the yellow polyps on it. Keep us updated, Don Link to comment
mxpro32 Posted July 4, 2002 Share Posted July 4, 2002 i love those zooanthids. i really want to get some that color but i havent seen any at any of my lfs. Link to comment
Korbin Posted July 5, 2002 Share Posted July 5, 2002 Very Nice. Those zoanthids are cool. I especially like the rock on the left. It looks like a little tower with polyp on top. Link to comment
demodan Posted July 5, 2002 Author Share Posted July 5, 2002 Thanks, the tower was made with frags from the large polyp rock, those things won't stop growing. I used super glue, and they attatched on their own after about two weeks. Link to comment

And yes, next time I will make it smaller. I rather not trade right now. I'm upgrading my lighting to 150w double-ended HQI soon and I don't know if they'd do well under so much light. But when I setup my next nano(which will be pretty soon) I'd love to trade for some. As for stuff I have to trade, I have a small sock completely covered with star polyps, I also have a candy cane coral I can frag for you. Link to comment
DAndrews Posted July 5, 2002 Share Posted July 5, 2002 Jim27- I thought I would mention, that I just picked up 2x150w ballasts and bulbs. The new IceCap ballast and bulb I beleive. I am very impressed with the performance and output of the setup. Very nice! HTH. DA Link to comment
