12G setup-good price?

It would help to know what kind of bulb and the wattage...but you are most likely looking at low light unless you do some kind of custom upgrade. You would probably get away with mushrooms and the green star poylps and maybe leathers, depending on what you have.

And I suppose you could use a turkey baster......however with the large opening on the end it would be likely to blow the mysis all over the place rather then directly into the polyp. You can't really squirt it AT...you have to squirt it IN...if that makes sense. You kind of need control of where you are squirting.

fuzz, do you have a macro button on your cam (its a little flower button)? coz if you press it and take up close pics they come out really well.
Just a tip

 

[Fuzz16]

[Fuzz16]

i dont do ebay...no money and no credit card or anything.
Aquarium Lighting: SmartPaq Retrofit Kits For Eclipse Hoods thats what im looking at though. ill be doing a joint order with my dad maybe.
only problem is is that it still wouldnt be enough light. maybe i could fit two in there...probably not though. pooehy
and my branchy thing is opening up a bit and its got lil things on it...wish i could remember the name of it!

I still say the V2 Viper if you are going to spend above $50. It gives more than enough light for the 12g. Like the tank, Are those freebie corals or did you buy them?

 

[Fuzz16]

EVERYTHING you see right now was 190$ so technically free
but i might be lucky and be getting free frags but will end up buying most of the new stuff i put in.

and i have a question...i figue that the V2 Viper is lighting but i googled and cant find it.

For $190 is a heck of a steal ... here is a link to jbj and there is the 150watt I was talking about on Ebay.

nice price for one but i am thinking upgrading within the next 6 months...some im not going to spend TONS of money right now. planning on buying a 40$ 26watt fixture and screweing it into the top.

 

[Fuzz16]

whelp...took all the rock out to rearrange and get to a couple striped mushrooms and decided to maybe rearrange something. my gramma is MIA. i looked in every nook and cranny...not even a skeleton.
this almost makes me want to give it up.

Very strange...when was the last time you saw him? Could he have jumped out at all? You might want to consider getting a different sand bed as the substrate you currently have looks a bit rough. And watch out for those turbos because they grow to be massive and may knock things over in your tank.
