not the most cost effective greenhouse you ever heard of

[JaredWaites]

Hey redox! Nice looking greenhouse.

What brand of Polycarbonate panels are those and what style are they? Like just Corrugated?

I was looking at these...any cheaper places?

hello Jared those panels you link arent quite like mine. I got mine from farmtek.com. The panels I used are double wall and I think only come in 4'x8' panels. The double wall helps for insulation

About sand bottom for the wrasse mentioned, you could try a sand tray

redox, you realize that the clams don't have to be in close proximity to spawn, right?

 

[redox]

yea I do I was just trying to be funny I guess those clams are just grinding against each other:lol:

 

[redox]

H.a.Z I have tried that but most of the sand spills out from the current and causes problems elsewhere. The fish jump out and that is the main problem. I have lost some really nice fish that way.I am no way proud of this. The cromis dont kill each other the looser jumps out. It is always a big one that I find on the floor. I really need to take the time to make a .... thing to stop this

Nice pictures Redox. Your under water farm is doing good. uhhhh??? i think that fish is already too big.

 

[redox]

kaptken I havent seen that sight but it looks like there are alot too choose from. I accidentally dropped some small drops of latex paint in my sps vat and it dang near wiped out one of my acros. It is the one I refer as" the weed". I did make a bunch of frags and was able to save some . The mother colony seems to be stabilizing for now .

[redox]

here it is now ,pitiful looking

[/IMG]
It was the only thing affected. The paint drop hit the water right above it . All other corals seem fine

[/IMG]

I happened across this pic on page 3 from febuary of 07 . Look bottom right for the blue coral that is in the previous pic. Show as a frag on toilet bowl cured mounts given too me by Hamburgler

[kaptken]

Toilet bowl curing? Thats a pretty good idea. never thought of that. fill the reservoir tank with home made portland frag plugs, and save flush water while the plugs get constant fresh water flushing.

That's just perfect!

Redox, Your gh goes on really amazing. Ca, kH and Mg are tested? You have good growths and colors with sunlight. It’s not easy at all.

 

[redox]

Yes Machado I do test but not as often as I should. This time of year is a challenge as the sun is not as bright and temps go up and down like a rollercoaster.
