bennerkla's 5.5 AGA Nano Reef Diary (Lots of PICS!!!)

The problem is that I routered the hole there. If I hadn't routered it, I think it would be fine. I'll try one out if I can find one.

I have video of my tank, which I'll post tonight!

cya guys,

Well, depending on the size of the hole, the guard might cover the entire thing with the corners as "extra". Secured to your canopy, no one would know that you had a square cover over a round hole. Either way, I look forward to seeing the vid clip. How is the battle with the hair algae going?
 
Tank Video!!!

Tank Video!!!

The hair algae battle is over. I don't have any live rock in there that I originally purchased. Water changes and turbo snails were the guys to thank. I'm going to phishy business tomorrow to get an open brain coral and some snails.

Hey guys. I got the video! Sorry about the lack of quality, had to make it under 5MB. Thanks to melev for showing me how to do the video!!

Enjoy,

bennerkla

Excellent video. You figured it out very quickly. :thumbsup:

In the Video Thread (Reef Discussion Forum) the first post has a bunch of videos listed. Did you try to view any of them yet?
 
Melev....

yeah, I viewed a lot of those videos. I posted my one I made yesterday there as well. I love all of your videos. Should I move my frogspawn into the rockwork? Will he grow onto other rocks, or just on the rock he is now?

Thanks, cya guys tomorrow with more stuff from Phishy Business to share!!

I'd leave it alone if it is happy. They don't grow onto anything, as they make their own skeletal structure on a daily basis.
 
Nice video Ben! I didn't know that there was a video thread... all this time I've been waiting for people to check mine out in my signature. Maybe I'll go post there.
Keep it up man.

Almost finished!!

Almost finished!!

Thanks guys, I appreciate it. Well, today I bought one of my last corals for this tank (if not, the last, I might add 1 or 2 more zoo frags). All I need are 2 more sexy shrimp (which have been ordered) and my tank is complete! I've been through quite a lot with this thing, so I'm excited to post my wrap up.

Check out my new brain coral!! I love it, I got it at Phishy Business. It looks like it's already splitting. Jordan showed me it the second I walked in, and I knew I couldn't walk out of there without buying it. Any suggestions? Should I spot feed any of my corals?

With my moonlighting on, some corals stay open all the time. Is this bad? Do they need to close up and "rest?"

Thanks guys, enjoy the pics! I also got 2 astrea, 2 nassarius, and 2 cerith snails.

Yes, brain corals and other LPS can be fed meaty foods. I don't know about them needing total darkness, but it does seem logical. You can put your moonlights on a timer, or turn them off when you go to sleep.
 
Thanks guys. I'm really excited to see if this brain splits. Sorry Jordan that I store your fun :(

I'll try feeding it mysis tomorrow.
 
Atleast I know it went to a good home. Let me know if the branching piece ever breaks off... I am your main man;)

And plus.... next weekend.... corals at swap prices.... I will get something nice.

Keep up the good work bud!
