Blue Z Reef Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 Looking good! That light looks pretty low, maybe a bit higher will help with the shadows. If your out in Vancouver hit me up for some new tank warming frags lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your out in Vancouver hit me up for some new tank warming frags lolI think you're right. I need to build a little acrylic raiser for it. I messed with it some more and my corals seems pretty pissed off with it being so close. I'm going to grab a piece of acrylic from tap and make a mount to raise it up a bit. I tossed my other light back on it and within 10 minutes my trumpet was plumbed back up and zoos were staying open. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PowderBlue Posted June 4, 2015 Author Share Posted June 4, 2015 Little tank update Everything is doing great. Aside from one of my clowns going carpet surfing :-( With the ATO everything is very simple and I enjoy that part! Ella and I stopped into Upscales today and came home with a new green bubble tip, cleaner shrimp, a pistol shrimp and goby pair! (Both currently in hiding) and an awesome purple plate coral!

Emerald525 Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 Thanks for the update Randall! Nice looking stuff you got from upscales! Sorry to hear about the clown. I get shadowing from the Maxspect too but it doesn't really bother me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PowderBlue Posted June 4, 2015 Author Share Posted June 4, 2015 Thank you ladies! Here is a new full tank shot with the nem in its chosen spot. Unfortunately it's right where my shrimp and goby where at so I'm curious to see what comes of it haha! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PowderBlue Posted June 12, 2015 Author Share Posted June 12, 2015 Gotta love new toys! Swapped everything into a fusion 10. I really like the AIO. The new sicce pump is dead silent and really moves the water! Also moved everything to the kitchen counter instead of the bedroom.

Emerald525 Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 Looking good Randall! Hmmm kitchen counter huh? Who is the tank for you or your daughter?????Great growth on those magicians! I may have to get a nem I just don't want it to move on me. If yours splits keep me in mind!???? Should I take bets how long it takes you to upgrade? I'm loving my all in one 20! The 10 gallons are nice too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PowderBlue Posted June 12, 2015 Author Share Posted June 12, 2015 Yea it's a family tank now haha! Sad thing about the nem is it decided to move, a lot, the power head ate it for dinner :( so I'm going to try one more and see if it'll stay put.

Gil&Fin Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 (edited) For what it's worth, I make these covers for my powerheads to keep the nems safe (and to keep my tank from getting fouled by their guts). All it takes are a gutter guard, plastic needlepoint canvas, and zip ties. I've tried a lot of other wraps and they either restrict water flow, get clogged, or the clever nem gets in anyway. The white one is an "early prototype" that didn't fit really well. I use it in a frag tank so I don't care so much.

I used to do those as well but it drives me batty how they look. I turn my powered off for the initial introduction and wait for the nem to plant it's foot, then turn it back on. Mine was planted and stayed for 2 days and one night decided to move. I think it was my pistol shrimp poking at him Sent from my SM-N910V using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PowderBlue Posted July 3, 2015 Author Share Posted July 3, 2015 Few updated shots. The trumpets are doing awesome. My Magicians have been pretty pissed off the last 4 or so days so I think I'm going to break the plug off and move them down a little bit tonight.

PowderBlue Posted July 3, 2015 Author Share Posted July 3, 2015 Thanks! I think I'm going to stick with this guy for a bit. I like the low maintenance end of it!
