Aquamaxx Hob-1 mod
Aquamaxx Hob-1 mod
Hey Ange062, I saw on one of the threads you posted some pictures on how to mod Aquamaxx Hob-1 in order for the jbj 28 canopy to open fully. I did that mod but I ran into a problem with the exhaust pipe. Its not letting open the hood pass the 2nd notch. I have the JBJ 28g LED version, maybe the demensions are different ?
I was hoping you can help me out.

I responded in the other thread!
In other news, Nanotuners is putting together a custom quote for me for an HQI hood, their 2x18w actinic upgrade, and SlientX fans. Should make a pretty awesome addition to my tank!!

Still waiting on a quote from Nanotuners for an HQI hood, I really want to make the conversion. I can tell that my CF lamp is due for a change, a lot of my coraline in indirect light areas has turned green, and I have noticed slowed growth in the corals. Instead of dumping money into a CF lamp I'd rather just put it towards an MH upgrade!!

Our nano's are way too small for a tang of any size, please do not do that to these beautiful fish.

A tank is a very good.
Is the contest a candidate?

John and I were both joking, even a small vlamingi would barely fit in this tank...
If you read further my real decision was either:
1) blue spot jawfish
2) purple tilefish
Thanks for your concern though, I hate to see tang abuse and often TP myself...

Thank you sir, but not this time, I really want to wait for some more SPS growth then I will try again.

I was out of town over the weekend, then noticed yesterday that my little Nemo wasn't looking so hot. He was swimming a little funny, looked skinny, and was keeping his mouth open all the time. Still not shy though, came right up to the glass when he saw me.
I thought maybe the other fish were hogging food. I had noticed the coral beauty and the black&gold damsel taking turns bullying him a few weeks back. So I grabbed a pinch of pellets to target fed him. He quickly came to the surface to eat from my hand.
I am hoping if I keep doing this for a while he will recover quickly. Hate to see a fish not doing well. Historically speaking, once a fish has looked a little "off" for me they typically don't last long so I am just hoping to change that.
Just to ensure it wasn't anything systematic, I checked all my water parms and everything is spot on and stable where it has been for months. It had been nearly a month since I tested anything so wanted to make sure.

Sorry to hear about your fish.
Have you ever tried New Life Spectrum pellet food? My clowns went nuts for it. Ate it better than anything I ever fed.

I've been using the New Life Spectrum Thera-A micro pellets since I added my first fish to this tank
That's also what I have been spot feeding him.

Holy jeepers weepers batman. What a beautiful tank! Definitely you should enter your tank in NTOTM soon.

Thanks, I just wouldn't want to have to go up against your tank!! :spin1:
I would highly reccomend not getting in the habit of not checking water parameters in a tank this small, mine is recovering from me doing the same thing, went 3 weeks without testing and in that time my nice acro stopped having PE, by that time, it was too late, lost that, my derassa, my birdsnest frag and my cotton candy hydro...my monti cap is looking like it will recover. After water parameters having zero swing for 3 months in 3 weeks of no testing phosphate creeped up high enough to kill the sps(even fragging didnt save them). I think the clam is unrelated as it happened once I got the parameters all back in line(thinking something ate it tbh). I used to go 4-6 weeks without checking on my large tank.
Sounds like the clown will pull through, they are extremely hardy and if its just been lack of food you will be able to nurse it back to health
