impur Posted June 8, 2006 Share Posted June 8, 2006 Looks good! Is that a 20gal? What kind of lighting? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyenna Posted June 8, 2006 Author Share Posted June 8, 2006 Thanks for the kind words everyone! Reefin': I've had my Onyx clownfish for about two weeks now. impur: I am using a 2x40 CurrentUSA Orbit light on a 10 gallon. I have an aquaclear 110 fuge where I keep a DSB, LR, cheato and my heater. I have a mxi jet 900 coming in the mail but I think it might be *too* much flow. current inhabitants include: 1 Onyx clownfish 1 emerald crab recently molted and now gigantic one green bubble tip anemone in the process of TLC from being bleached 4 nass and 1 MIA nass 4 blue legged hermits but I think I used to have 5 (empty shells turned out to be not so empty) 2 astreas 4 ceriths 2 nerites green star polyp pinkish star polyp a ricordia I can't find orange and yellow zoas frogspawn small galaxea something that looks like it could be dendros? anyway, i'll post more pics later.

GroYurOwn Posted June 9, 2006 Share Posted June 9, 2006 off to a good start, looks like you have crap load of LR in there though. i use the same light on my ten, love that thing! i had my tank jammed with LR till i realized i couldnt fit any freaking coral in there anymore!

cyenna Posted June 10, 2006 Author Share Posted June 10, 2006 ya, I do have a lot of LR! I'm trying to disperse the flow from the aquaclear so it's stacked up. Also, I love getting LR and finding new stuff! I'm weird like that. Any ideas on getting the flow to mix a bit better? I'm tinkering with a maxijet 900 powerhead right now and i'm thinking it will be too much flow if i add it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GroYurOwn Posted June 10, 2006 Share Posted June 10, 2006 i only have two powerheads, both aquaclear 400. i have one in the upper back right corner, pointing toward the fron glass center. the other is in the back left lower corner, pointing across the back of the tank, i have had it like this for nearly a year and everything is very happy. you just have to make sure that you dont have anything blocking the flow in the back, thats where a lot of detritus builds up. i have the same light too, btw. also, i have a LR addiction too, i just love the surprises you get with it, but you will quickly realize how little real estate there is in a 10g. but remember, with every piece of coral you get, thats another piece of LR, here's my tank! this is what it looked like a few months ago, my friend didnt have the time to take care of it, but now we've made it a team effort Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyenna Posted June 11, 2006 Author Share Posted June 11, 2006 hey GroYurOwn, thanks for the compliments. I love my onyx clownfish too! I got him for $23 and someone offered me a $100 for him! Your tank looks awesome. I hope mine will look as nice as that one day. Is that a clam or crocea I see in there in the middle??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GroYurOwn Posted June 11, 2006 Share Posted June 11, 2006 its a maxima, had it for about a year in this tank. under the orbit light for about 4 or 5 months, it does great. how often do you do water changes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyenna Posted June 11, 2006 Author Share Posted June 11, 2006 Coool. I do water changes about once a week or more if anything starts acting funny. I only did more water changes on that first week that I had onyx and he started swimming more strangely than usual. Is that saddleback I see in your tank the only inhabitant? I'm hoping to add another small fish. Maybe a neon goby or a damsel. My system seems pretty stable...I haven't been testing much lately but I find that as long as I do water changes on a regular basis and keep an eye on the corals and the fish there really is no need to test much.

GroYurOwn Posted June 11, 2006 Share Posted June 11, 2006 i havent tested in probably four months!i agree, keep your eye on your animals, they tell you everything you need to know. i also have a bi-color blenny. and an orange serpent star and black and white serpent star. this link gives some history of my tank and some pics http://www.nano-reef.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=84372&hl=10g+aga i do once a week 1 gal water change with nutri-seawater Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cyenna Posted June 11, 2006 Author Share Posted June 11, 2006 haha. I'm a regular at nano-reef.com. I checked out your tank and it looks good. Are you going to transfer it to the west coast when you move? By September I'm sure I'll have some frags I'll be willing to trade...

cyenna Posted June 11, 2006 Author Share Posted June 11, 2006 LOVE the ricordia garden you got going there, especially the pink yumas! That's awesome that you're going to upgrade to a 90g but will we still see you at nano-reef.com? What is nanocheeks gonna do without your help on the tank?!

cyenna Posted November 2, 2006 Author Share Posted November 2, 2006 update! these pics were taken by a friend in a span of two weeks so things got rearranged and my anemone moved to the back left corner. Can anyone tell me what i'm doing wrong with my clam? it's losing color in the middle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reefboy Posted November 2, 2006 Share Posted November 2, 2006 looks gold if it is may just be some new zooanthel its growing but if not it may be bleaching in those areas from to much light they have many types in there garden in there mantle and that type my not like the light is it a new purchase or have you moved to this area recently.
