Mandinga Posted October 18, 2015 Author Share Posted October 18, 2015 The Midas is now hosting in a large maxima:) need to get some pics at some point. Also, my apex is on the fritz! Display has a blue blank screen:( odd thing is everything is still working...kinda strange. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mandinga Posted October 29, 2015 Author Share Posted October 29, 2015 (edited) Here is the midas hosting the maxima...she really just perches on the highest point...problem is that whenever i get close to the tank she gets really dark yellow and starts nipping the clam...almost like shes saying, "come one step closer, and i'll kill the clam!" Shes a devilfish...always bites me. Nipper! And a cool acan or micro acquired from c&c [emoji7] Edited October 30, 2015 by Mandinga Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mandinga Posted October 30, 2015 Author Share Posted October 30, 2015 Nice can! Bummer fish. I hate when cool fish go rouge! She doesn't seem to be trying to eat the clam, i think she's just training to be a clam trainer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mandinga Posted December 3, 2015 Author Share Posted December 3, 2015 I uploaded these images to a my google image account, and then pasted the link. I have no idea the best way to make tapatalk show the images like a computer does... Seems like when I used tapatalk to upload images, they turn out really small. hmmmm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mandinga Posted February 3, 2016 Author Share Posted February 3, 2016 Picked up one of these little porthole lenses after talking with mattv a fee weeks ago...took a few weeks to get here from Hong Kong, but wow this thing is so freaking cool. Iphone pics dont do it justice...anyone who really wants to super geek out on their corals should get one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mandinga Posted February 3, 2016 Author Share Posted February 3, 2016 (edited) Current pest battles: Blue clove polyps...though there is some subtle beauty about them. Mojano's- these things really are starting to worry me. What have i tried with success? Removing rock. But yeah they are getting to be pretty much everywhere and dang they have a POWERful sting too. Am thinking of getting a bristletail filefish, but there is alot of coral the filefish may pick at ...

badxgillen Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 I am in the same boat, I have those dirty cloves and a majano or two. Tank looks amazing though, crazy colors in those montis, wish I could get some of those colors in mine. Yours is an SPS dominated tank with thats for sure, fields and forests of montipora. Oh and can you throw out a link to the nifty gadget you are referring to in the post about the porthole. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mandinga Posted February 3, 2016 Author Share Posted February 3, 2016 Yep, here is the porthole. LINK Ebay is only place I could find it, but its a Fishstreet product. This is from Fishtreet website, but it doesnt look like its available from them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is from Fishtreet website, but it doesnt look like its available from them. so this porthole acts as a "macro" lens? That can then be used on a regular camera, iPhone...etc?

Mandinga Posted February 3, 2016 Author Share Posted February 3, 2016 Its modeled after a magnetic cleaner, so it slides around on the glass, or in my case acrylic. Eseentially it is a macro lens of course...it is similar to lenses I have bought from premium aquarium where you look down from the surface...this provides a similar effect from the side of the tank instead. Gadgety yes, but super easy to use. Definitely not perfect, but a cool idea. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mandinga Posted February 5, 2016 Author Share Posted February 5, 2016 There is no adjusting it...besides moving your eyes closer or farther away from object. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mandinga Posted February 7, 2016 Author Share Posted February 7, 2016 (edited) I have also been running a 3 gallon micro tank for the past year, but some weird snail I brought home from the Oregon coast just absolutely shredded my acrylic, so the upgrade was eminent. I went with a rimless 8gallon JBJ setup AIO with ATO, LED, MP10, and a little titanium heater. This is my office tank, so I actually see it more often then my large home tank, so I am trying to do it right:) I just finished swapping it, the water is cloudy and the corals are pissssssted. Fish seem fine, so we'll see! Still have tidying up to do Its filter time. Edited February 7, 2016 by Mandinga Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
