250w over your 2.5!? Thats amazing. People have suggested a chiller. Not happenin. Too expensive for a 5 degree temp difference. Ill just put extra fans on the canopy if i need to. Ill decide tonight on what im gonna go with.
Heh, you can see it here. Aquatic Carolina :: Saltwater Only temporary while i set my other one up, but its doing great makes me want to leave it hahaha.
if u decide to take the bristle out becare they can hurt IMO leave it unless they gey too big and ther are too many.... but realisticly ther in all of our tanks and like cichlid said they r actually benificial!
Thats what i read too, and some fish eat them, like a hawkfish i think. I rescaped the tank, alot more spacious now. I wont be able to post a pic until friday cuz im leaving for cali in like ten minutes lol. Until then, see ya!
WOOHOOO! My cycle is finished!!!! IM going to get a blue tang and a yellow tang and five nemos right now!...........not really. I need snails first. Tank is comeing along nice, the glass is littered with copepods and a few tiny shrimp.
Nitrates are at about 15ppm. Anyways, heres a pic, i re scaped it too, let me know if you like.

Looks good to me man. Will start looking really good once you get some Coraline spreading over those rocks. You waiting on lighting upgrades until you get coral?
Yeah ish. Just waiting for the time to build a canopy and money. SO pretty much ill do everything but corals until the lighting is ready, which is ok cuz i was going to wait a month or two until i got some corals.
Oh yeah, i finished up my sump today! It looks nicem just waiting fo rit to cure, and my Remora should be coming in this week along with powerheads. Finally.
nice! make sure u get a variety of snails since they eat differant algea's n some clean sand some rock/glass ect... also plan out all the fish u plan to add so u kno which ones to get first
Yeah i do, ill post them up tonight, its your basic sump tho, since i had a limited amount of plexiglass.
Tre-Will do, because i have heard you can ruin everything by putting the wrong fish in first, thinks the whole tank is it territory and bugs other fish to no end.
Here is my fish list, not set in stone, open to comments or suggestions....or why the hell would you put those 2 together!?'s lol let me know
2 true Clowns
1 Royal gramma
1 yellow watchman goby (not sure)
1 target mandarin(not for a while, but eventually)
1 Firefish
if u want a mandarin u need to wait a minimun of 6 months and have around 80lbs of live rock and a fuge ... even then its questionable since it will prolly wipe out your pod population in no time
IMO id skip the royal gramma
Yeah, the mandarin is far off, like in a year if we even do. and ill be gone in 5 months, so i would rather not have my dad have to deal with feeding them. Ill have to look into the gramma, i love the colors, but they are semi aggressive...
SO i got my Koriala's in yesterday(#2 and #3) along with my AquaC Remora. I am loving the flow tht those powerheads put out! beats my little maxijet 250 by a landslide, the tanks seems that much more active now. Remora is working beautifully, i love it, its pulled out some nasty stuff. And i rescaped it a bit, im too indecisive, but i think this might work, may change it a little bit, dunno, but so far i like it. I should be getting 10 astreas today, maybe. well see. anyways, heres the pic, not the best tho, i was in a hurry
Lol we should make a club. club indecisvie. wtb? but sorry for the delays, i said i finished the sump last week hoping i woul dfinish it right after i said that......which i did, except i finished it a week right after i said that. but it is finished. i also got 13 nassarius snails and 2 mexican turbos, one of them is zebra. anyway, heres some pics
woops. lol i love working with acrylic, you look around and everything you see can be made out of a shiny professional looking box, like a ballast cover for my pond uv ballast. its endless, and you have the tools to do it, so why not? One thing i want to mention is during sump construction, use CD cases as spacers for your baffles and what not, they really are great help.
Good idea with the CD cases. Did you just use a normal electric saw (table saw?) to cut it to size or was it custom cut? And where did you find an acrylic bonding agent. I want Weld-on 4 but hardly anyone carries it and that stuff is like impossible to ship being a Hazmat.
