Sad to know of your loss. Gonna get another?

 

[ghstrider]

Dunno yet Rob... Rethinking my livestock

Current List:
Majestic Angel
Chrysurus Angel
Venustus Angel
Multibarred Angel
Multicolor Angel
Hippo Tang
False Percula pair
Longnose Hawk
Leopard Wrasse
Swissguard Basslet
Lyretail Anthia
Wheeler Goby

So as you can see thats a fair amount of livestock. I may add another medium sized angel. We will see.

Coño! That really sucks about the scribbled. If your going to get another one wait until the new tank is set up. BTW there's one on DD right now.

 

[ghstrider]

Yeah i know but im gonna put all my attention toward the new setup and keeping my Chrysurus healthy in the QT by himself. Cant afford to lose another expensive fish. DD has had a few of them each week lately. I may go with a different angel all together. We will see...

 

[gasman059]

sorry to hear about your fish--- please do treat them in QT and feed them something else besides MYSIS.
The progress looks great !

 

[ghstrider]

I was feeding them de todo... From dr g omnivore, live bloodworms, ON Angel formula, and seaweed. I didnt treat the tank prior but thats worked for me in the past. Just one of those things i guess.

 

[gasman059]

sorry to hear again- unfortunately it happens.
I noticed you are coming to the dark side of LED's--- you will certainly wont be disapointed.
Consider a profilux controller to really untap the maximal capabilities of the lights.

***! U lost the scribbled!?

 

[ghstrider]

yea its been a tough week....

 

[ghstrider]

Heres some pics of the stand with some of the moulding. The doors are next...

Theres a strip of molding that goes all the way around the base (inside of the standout corner molding) that hasnt been put on yet. You can see it laying in the stand.

 

[mguti025]

looking good

 

[laud]

Nice!

 

[ghstrider]

some more photos... more of the molding added and the canopy put together temorarily for measurements. The opening in the canopy is "L" shaped and will open to about a 45 degree so I can access the lights w/o taking the canopy off. Also the front canopy panel will open w/o the top piece for feeding purposes.

Im psyched!!!

 

[ghstrider]

Look what the UPS guy dropped off today...

 

[WhoDey64]

Got to love new toys

 

[gasman059]

sweeet-- what was the turnaround from order untl delivery of the AI units.

 

[ghstrider]

One week to my door... Premium Aquatics received them the day after I ordered. I have some more toys arriving this week

 

[Dave1NC]

Great build! Sorry if I missed it, but are you planning on adding any corals to your setup with all those Angels in there?

 

[roblack]

The stand is beautiful, great job. And now the led fun begins.

 

[ghstrider]

Thanks Rob!

Dave, I have all the angels in a mixed reef right now and all are doing great. Mostly SPS and very few LPS.
