Gimmito's 450 L-Shaped Display

[gimmito]

Picked of a pair of Tiger gobies from the Live Aquaria group buy Patrick put together. The gobies seem to have paired up nicely and are kicking it in my fuge until they are ready to go in the main display.

Ed of Aquarium Currents (makers of the Sea Swirl) was kind enough to give me a prototype called the Sea Sweep to try out. It is similiar to the Sea Swirl, but enables you to attatch a Tunze, Controllable Tunze, or Korallia powerhead. Imagine your Tunze or Korallia on steroids !

You can adjust the depth of the Sea Sweep in the tank via the riser tube (which can be cut) and the electrical plug is fished through the tube also...great design feature.

The Sea Sweep should be available in April.

Stay tuned for a video.

Any idea on sea sweep's arrival on the market? and price?

I tried borrowing a technique from Tony Vargas by attaching a siphon hose to a fork (or a multi tool). A simple, yet effective way to disturb the upper layer of the sanded and siphon detritus while doing water changes.

I like using a turkey baster attached to my siphon hose. One squeeze of the turkey baster in the sand and out comes a cloud of crap. Just make sure to turn off all power heads. Makes it really easy to siphon up the cloud"¦.

Another good idea using a turkey baster and siphon Sooner7.

I received some news from Ed regarding the Sea Sweep. The economy model will be $199 and the deluxe model will be $249. The difference is the economy model uses the same motor as the 1" Sea Swirl and the deluxe model uses the same motor as the 1 1/2" model. Having used the deluxe model, I can tell you it's much more stronger and very quite. Well worth the extra 50 bucks IMO.

The Sea Sweep will come out some time in May and can be ordered directly from Aquarium Currents for this special introductory price.

I noticed one of the seale cardinalfish with a serious chunk of it's fin torn off. I suspect it's the dominant female chasing off other cardinalfish while it's mate is mouth brooding (below). Should I be concerned about infection ?

 

[aquaph8]

Jim, I wouldn't be too concerned but keep an eye on it. I just got some orange lines the other day and I cant believe how much these little suckers eat.

Thanks Brett...I'm defintely keeping an eye for infection. I agree cardinals are pigs !
