octoalex Posted May 14, 2007 Share Posted May 14, 2007 No splashing at all. Good to hear I and everyone else were able to help you out! n You might get a few bubbles that come from the output, but that will go away in a few months! Thinks are growing well in the tank! Thanks Stallen!! Salty! Your tank looks amazing! Love the new pics. Keep it up. You guys totally helped me out big time setting up my biocube 8. (I am in the "ugly stage" as stallen says). Algae all over... but my snails are having a field day on it! Going to try the cheato thing soon. See someone on ebay selling it. Do you have problems with heat and the submersible light? My cube gets pretty warm during the day. Link to comment
SaltyVT Posted May 15, 2007 Author Share Posted May 15, 2007 Thanks!!!! No heat problems at all!!! Post some pics !!!! Link to comment
octoalex Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 Thanks!!!! No heat problems at all!!! Post some pics !!!! The algae is getting a little better. Really coming to life. I am sooo excited.. another obsession to add to the list. I need to get in the corners with something though. Ill update more when I start my fuge this week/next week. I think I am going to mount a small 25w desk lamp on the back I found at CVS. Used a better camera this time. The high-rez one is on my biocube post. Link to comment
SaltyVT Posted May 16, 2007 Author Share Posted May 16, 2007 Looks like a great start!! once that algae goes and the coral line starts it should be a killer tank. Link to comment
octoalex Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 Ok... did the fuge thing. Got that light a few people were talking about and mounted it in a fan box from lowes... should get my cheato soon too! Link to comment
SaltyVT Posted May 18, 2007 Author Share Posted May 18, 2007 Looks like a good set up!! Link to comment
Chipie Posted May 19, 2007 Share Posted May 19, 2007 Looks like a good set up!! Hi Salty, I have Biocube 8 and would like to make a fuge but i'd like t o use a submersible light in the 2nd chamber. Is this what you did ? If so, do you have a link where i could see what kind of light you used. Thanks Link to comment

Chipie Posted May 19, 2007 Share Posted May 19, 2007 I didn't use a submersible light, I can't remember who did I'll check and get back to you! Anyone else remember chime in! Found it look at the bottom of the page..... Link Found it! It's Hotnickz07 who used a submersible light. It seems to be working well for him. He even gave me a link to where he bought the light. I just ordered one. Here it is in case someone want to try it also. http://www.discount-pumps.biz/pond-lights.htm And here's the link of his thread where he shows how he installed it. http://www.nano-reef.com/forums/index.php?...p;#entry1157881 Thanks Yes Think Hotnickz07 got the ides from rev138 Thanks for helping SaltyVT Much appreciated.

octoalex Posted May 30, 2007 Share Posted May 30, 2007 Hey Salty, finally got my first few corals! Check em out! Link to comment
SaltyVT Posted June 12, 2007 Author Share Posted June 12, 2007 Added another Clam, a "ultra bright" crocea!!!! Little on 2 incher!! Link to comment
octoalex Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 Looks great! What's the deal with clams? You have that lighting mod so I am sure if it's lighting, you've got it handled... but what are the requirements for them? Link to comment
ENraged Posted June 12, 2007 Share Posted June 12, 2007 Added another Clam, a "ultra bright" crocea!!!! Little on 2 incher!! you get that at MMR? Link to comment
SaltyVT Posted June 12, 2007 Author Share Posted June 12, 2007 Clams kick ass!! You need a mature tank, and steady PH levels. Maintain your calk, alk, and what not, Lights are a biggie too. I seemed to have good luck with my first clam so I found another one to keep it company! Enraged, yes I went over to MMr to get it. They seemed to have some great corals in last time I went. Hers some more pics, I moved my mean greens and frogspawn out to my 2.5G. The frog spawn didn't like the MH just inches away, since moving it has opened back up again. I would say that in the last 6 months of having the Mh over the tank I can note some good and bad points. The light seems to be very strong, the farthest away you can but any given coral from the light would be 8 inches, so I found out that certain corals can adapt and others can't. the yumas are splitting fast, the nepthia is growing ,and clams love lots o light and growing, candy canes are good, SPs course loves the light, My xenia were growing like crazy and have recently taken a dive for the worst, oh well. I am really glad i didn't go with the 150 it would have been over kill Link to comment
mdbrit Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 I always found xenia to be really strange anyhow. I got a clump from a fellow reefer, it multiplied like crazy in my 36g for 4 or 5 months. Then it slowly just died away and is gone. Really strange. Link to comment
SaltyVT Posted June 13, 2007 Author Share Posted June 13, 2007 yeah It could be worst, it could have taken over the entire tank!!! Link to comment
ENraged Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 Yea I was looking over those clams very nice indeed. He lost all the ORA duncans he fragged for some reason. Tanks looking good I tore down my display and moved everything to my prop tank. just going to grow stuff for now i guess Link to comment
SaltyVT Posted June 13, 2007 Author Share Posted June 13, 2007 Haven't been there in a long time, been busy. Seems like they have a good stock of corals!!!!!! Link to comment
SaltyVT Posted June 17, 2007 Author Share Posted June 17, 2007 Well the clam kept on trying to attach to the Yuma rock so I moved the rocks around and came up with this..... Link to comment
kevin4052002 Posted June 18, 2007 Share Posted June 18, 2007 It looks like you've brought sexy back. Congratulations. Link to comment
stallen Posted June 19, 2007 Share Posted June 19, 2007 What could be more sexy than two bearded clams right next to each other? Link to comment
SaltyVT Posted June 19, 2007 Author Share Posted June 19, 2007 Three bearded clams near each other!!!!! Link to comment
