good job man!!!? By: saitwaterjunky. on 12 May 12, 00:55:19 good job man!!!?
Hahaha, we are ... By: Nomimasubiru420. on 11 May 12, 22:43:45 Hahaha, we are just? awesome like that!
Haha, we messed? ... By: jmadden184. on 11 May 12, 22:40:29 Haha, we messed? that whole conversation up.
Omg I miss read it ... By: Nomimasubiru420. on 11 May 12, 22:33:28 Omg I miss read it anyways, I thought? you said "I'd recommend getting yourself a light that is more THAN 6,500k. I thought you were saying go for a 10k over the refugium =)
I meant to say ... By: jmadden184. on 11 May 12, 22:12:30 I meant to say 6,500K, I put 6.5K thinking "K" as 1000, so 6.5K = 6,500. My mistake. As long as the nuisance algae is confined to the fuge and? not the display tank I would say the refugium is doing it's job :).
That bulb looks ... By: Nomimasubiru420. on 11 May 12, 21:33:27 That bulb looks pinkish man, are you? sure it's not one of those freshwater plant bulbs? If it is I would take it off and go with a 6,500k or 10k
I have thought ... By: Nomimasubiru420. on 11 May 12, 21:31:47 I have thought about trying a 10k I'm just going off of what I? have read, that and a little 6,500k cfl bulb is only like $2.50 =)
Not at all arguing ... By: Nomimasubiru420. on 11 May 12, 21:30:33 Not at all arguing with you madden, your tank speaks for itself =) but everything I have read says a 6,500k light will work better than a 10k, if you think about it, a 6,500k bulb grows nuisance algae like? crazy which is why people go for 10k, the same goes for macro algae though. I have also read a lot about coral farms growing coral under 6,500k lights to make it grow fast, then they put them under 20ks for a bit to color them back up.
Great to see ... By: jmadden184. on 11 May 12, 19:46:42 Great to see everything doing well after the transfer. I'd recommend getting yourself a light that is? more in the 6.5K range for your refugium, it will grow your cheatomorpha macro algae like no body else's business! The macro algae will grow so well that it will out compete the nuisance algae, which is what we want to happen. Hope this is helpful.
I like the tanks? ... By: Nomimasubiru420. on 11 May 12, 05:40:01 I like the tanks? btw, subbed =)
Kill? it with ... By: Nomimasubiru420. on 11 May 12, 05:37:32 Kill? it with violence!!!
Looks like some ... By: jmadden184. on 11 May 12, 04:28:47 Looks like some kind of predatory flat worm or nudibranch. If it is eating your copepods I would remove it. You don't want something that is going? to eat beneficial critters running a muck in your refugium and tank. It's pretty cool all the random and diverse life that shows up in our systems that's what has me hooked on this hobby.
hey where did you ... By: DMON1123. on 10 May 12, 03:34:50 hey where did you get your led light from? do you have a link for it? and also why? did you get rid of your diy protein skimmer? i have a 10 gallon tank and it has some hair algae trying to get rid of it tho any tips?
No problem. Haha, ... By: jmadden184. on 20 Apr 12, 20:46:47 No problem. Haha, true? that.
Moving your MP10 higher to agitate the water's surface will help with gas exchange as well.
goner? look good By: bobbonecrusher. on 20 Apr 12, 19:46:19 goner? look good
Thank you for the ... By: Almostazn12. on 20 Apr 12, 19:43:18 Thank you for the tips I will definitley use them! and yeah the RBTA is? weird.. like a female.. i dont know what it wants.. :P
Careful how much ... By: jmadden184. on 20 Apr 12, 19:31:42 Careful how much sand you put on top. You may end up killing a lot of life and/or creating dead spots. Corals are looking great and the aquascape looks great too! It's kind of weird that your RBTA wont come out of that hole and expand more, maybe it is getting blasted too hard by the MP10. Maybe move the MP10 closer to the surface? of the water to help get that "oily sheen" off the surface. Happy reefing!
he will try and ... By: Almostazn12. on 01 Apr 12, 03:06:54 he will try and eat? them if you dont keep him well fed. he ate my rainforest gobies.. 25$ a pop. bigger snails are a no
Does he? bother ... By: hugomezo21. on 31 Mar 12, 13:34:59 Does he? bother your peppermint shrimp or snail sand hermits?
thanks mkay.. yeah ... By: Almostazn12. on 21 Dec 11, 17:20:34 thanks mkay.. yeah its tough losing corals but im going to start fresh and try and do it? right this time. its good to have people for inspiration and support.
Man...sorry to hear ... By: mkaywilson. on 21 Dec 11, 13:33:46 Man...sorry to hear that your corals died. It's rough when you invest the dough and? they crap out on you like that. Your refugium looks nice and I think with the miracle mud and the cheato you will be fine.
Thats called a ... By: Almostazn12. on 21 Nov 11, 15:24:30 Thats called a Frogspawn about? 15$ a head
Thank you MKay!! im ... By: Almostazn12. on 20 Nov 11, 04:37:59 Thank you MKay!! im going to be building an actual canopy for it soon and buy 2 more of the led bulbs to illuminate the rest of the tank and mount all 3 in there and hook up? a timer on them.. hoping it will all come together how i am picturing it! and frogspawn is one of my favorite corals!! :)
Anna's tank is? ... By: mkaywilson. on 20 Nov 11, 02:51:19 Anna's tank is? coming along nicely. The light fixture seems to be working out for you! That frogspawn really looks good. Sadly, I don't think there is anymore room in my tank for one. At least, not right now. :))
Thanks a? lot! it ... By: Almostazn12. on 03 Nov 11, 16:17:51 Thanks a? lot! it took some time though! heh 6 hours
For a first attempt ... By: Wllmap. on 02 Nov 11, 16:18:51 For a first attempt it's amazing and? how well you captured her face. Bravo!!!!! We have 3 minions check out some of ours. Lol.
glad you understand ... By: freshwatertanks. on 26 Sep 11, 08:33:41 glad you understand :) if you are getting a 125 ( thats still not going to last the life of? the arrow 250g is more like what you need) then you can leave the goldfish in what you have now. Get a heater for the tropicals and you will be good to go :)
Thank you and you ... By: Almostazn12. on 24 Sep 11, 17:42:54 Thank you and you are not a hater you're an enlightener. I was definitely planning on moving there Aro to a 125 when i can snag one for a good deal and the goldfish i can always move to my pond in the back!? thanks again!
goldfish live ... By: freshwatertanks. on 24 Sep 11, 16:49:13 goldfish live better in cold water and the rest prefer warm water.
Be very careful with your arow with the right diet they will grow 2 inches a month. To keep them happy they need lenght in the tank a min of 4x the length of the fish. Otherwise you may risk gill curl. but its more than that being kept in a small tank when young may stunt the growth or make him grow with a bad spine. not trying to be? a hater bud just dont want to see you dissapointed after you payed good money for him :)
could you tell? me ... By: Almostazn12. on 24 Sep 11, 16:20:40 could you tell? me the warm waters and cold waters?
My favorite part is ... By: Nguy4ever. on 22 Sep 11, 13:57:31 My favorite part is Ari running around? with your sock in her mouth and hearing your voice narrations lol..I'm excited to see the light difference in real life cause it's hard to show on video, I know how much you like LEDs :)
