blaksheep67 Posted March 11, 2012 Author Share Posted March 11, 2012 Trying to figure out how to incorporate some moonlights with this set up, anybody out there have any suggestions ? Still waiting for my blue shroom to open up Link to comment
FrenchieNano Posted March 11, 2012 Share Posted March 11, 2012 Newb to salt water, thanks to this site I have managed to start and maintain my first saltwater tank. Nice tank, but doesn't the spill light from the LEDs bother you? I'm also trying to solve the moon light issue, tried with a submersible LED but just got blinded by it. Link to comment

I'm also trying to solve the moon light issue, tried with a submersible LED but just got blinded by it. I got used to the spill light (the tank is on my desk so It kind serves as a desk light too) , Not sure if bringing the light down more would solve this. Let me know if you find a good moonlight solution. Link to comment

asting Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 That is looking very awesome. What type of goby is that? If it filter feeds from the sand then it will probably die in that tank (anything under 55g really). Link to comment

asting Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 That's good if you have him trained on other foods, because normally they just sift the substrate for food and require a large established sandbed. The tank is seriously looking awesome though. very clean looking and colorful. Link to comment

FlowerMama Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 Update a year later? would be interested to know since I just started an AE8 3 weeks ago and would like to know how it's been for ya. Did you have any extra flow aside from the stock pump return? I added the Hydor Kor Nano 240 and then modded the orig stock pump by removing the diffuser inside the tank and then opening the pump and removing this yellow thing which seriously restricted flow. And I"ll shortly be taking out the stock filter, putting in that plastic canvas of the same size that people make ugly crafts from? and then putting in polyfiber in front and chemipure in back, or maybe the chemipure I'll put in that bottom L shape space to the left. We'll see. Any problems you're run into w/ fish or coral stocking? Link to comment
