Can you guys help me comeup with a list of sutable fish for my setup? I'll start the list with...
Well I guess its time for another update! Last nite I gutted an old light fixture and retro fitted some reflectors from ahsupply.com and I just want to say WOW! They make all the difference in getting the light into the tank. So I added a couple 55 watt actinice lamps and it really changed the look of the tank. I still don't have everything I need to build the MH setup so thats still on hold. We also added a Yellow Tang and a Haitian Anemone.
Here is a few new pics.
Hey spinner: on the moon lights, I Got mine off e-bay. I think they were 10 bulbs for about 10 bucks. I can show you how to fix them and I have several power supplies. I put about 14 on my 55 and it seems to be just about right. Lot cheaper this way just have to use a timer or you can split them and that seems to work better. The back comes on first then my front. looks cool and best of all CHEAP.
Well I've been slacking for a little while so here is a list of fish I'm looking at and would like your thoughts.
Neon Goby - Blue or Gold...Both?
Yellow Watchman
Bicolor Blenny
Mandarin Goby
Firefish
Blue Hippo Tang
Powder Brown Tang
and a wrasse of some kind...Ideas?
Neon Goby - Blue or Gold...Both?
Seem to be easy going little fish
Yellow Watchman - Love'em
Bicolor Blenny - Ordinary
Mandarin Goby - ONLY AFTER a well established system
Firefish - Your choice
Blue Hippo Tang - Everyone needs "Dory"
Powder Brown Tang - Your choice but most of the powder browns seemed ugly to me JMHO
and a wrasse of some kind...Ideas? Wrasses- Fairy wrasses are awesome
I WOULD not put a sixline in unless your sure you won't be getting any other wrasses- hateful little guys JMHE also
I've got a redlip blenny which is not too common for us but is an awesome fish super cool to play hide and seek with
Time for a new update. I got my RO/DI from Buckeye and it is now hooked up and working great. I even have the waste water running into the washing machine.
I also picked up a Euro-Reef skimmer and its working great!
Update time again. I finished the canopy the other night and I wired up the halides (2x250 14k) I still have some adjusting to do as I think I have them too far from the surface and I still need to mount the actinics. I also need to stain the wood but I want to try and match the color with the stand. Here is what it looks like at the moment.
Tank has a bit of a red slime outbreak right now. I have a feeling that it was caused by having to use tap water for a couple weeks for top off. I added a phos pad to see if that helps.
Its been a while so I guess its time for an update. I got the new light rack installed. 2x250 watt 14k halides + 2x54 watt T5HO actinics. Retrofit came from hellolights.com. On another note, all the red slime is gone and tank is doing good. I have added a hand full of new corals and fish also.
