SPS 33 system with NC6 frag/QT and Snowflake - Page 19

cherubfish pair · 08/09/2009, 02:56 PM

This is my CPR in-tank refugium. I've thought about using it to hold live feeder shrimp for a Snowflake and the fish in the post above. Edit: bottom of page 18.

Got my tank yesterday. Very nice. They didn't send the extra tops. I will try to post a picture tomorrow or Sunday.

cherubfish pair · 08/23/2009, 04:17 PM

My 33.

unbreakable · 08/23/2009, 08:38 PM

looks good. ive been wanting an eel too and think i might upgrade to a 125? would love to have one

unbreakable · 08/23/2009, 08:39 PM

forgot to add that it might not do well SPS since theyre clumsy and could break your corals apart as they move around

If I remember right, you have a 75? unbreakable, that's big enough for a lot of eels. But if you have the means to upgrade to a 125, then what the heck?

Now that I don't know. You opened up a whole new can of worms. Not to worry, off to research.

Called glasscages on Mon. and they said they will send the extra set of tops right away. I'll call again on Thurs. to see if they did.

I was busy and didn't call until today. She said the tops were shipped out on Friday.

.........On second thought, that venomous canary wrasse would keep kids out of the fish room....

cherubfish pair · 09/06/2009, 07:00 PM

I already have a canopy/lighting setup for this tank. I had it setup for my 55 freshwater tank. The canopy is a Wal-Mart special like in the pic until I get the ok to hang the pendants. The lights are similar to the pic. Two ~24" 55watt compact florescent 50/50.

You mean canary blenny?

Are you sure you want one around kids?

sorry double post

powers2001 · 09/07/2009, 02:41 PM

Have you narrowed down your fish list?

cherubfish pair · 09/07/2009, 02:52 PM

Here is the original list:

1. Ocellaris clown
2. Six-line wrasse

list for the third (I'll only pick one from this list):

coris wrasse
canary blenny
midas blenny
royal gramma
no dwarf angels as this tank will have corals
no burrowing or shrimp gobies as this tank will be bare-bottom for awhile
anything else I might add to this list

I decided on a mated pair of pygme angels. Same as my username.

~cool

cherubfish pair · 09/07/2009, 03:14 PM

Okay, here is a thread that helped me decide on which fish to get.

It's titled: "Is this a good fish list for a 33 long with lots of corals?" and it's in the Reef Fishes forum.

Here's the link:

Krylon Fusion: Flat White

For the bottom of the tank.

I started drill tonight and guess what? My cordless drill battery ran out! I didn't get the first hole finished.

cherubfish pair · 09/13/2009, 08:46 PM

I drilled my first hole in my new tank. I haven't drilled acrylic for some time and forgot how hot it gets if you drill too fast. Luckily all it caused was a burn on my finger. I'm gonna ask on the diy forum if one can put a clay/water dam on the drill site.

Just remembered some of my non-diamond tipped hole saws have pilot bits. this will drain the water inside of the dams. I can get hole saws without pilot bits but they're 3 times as much and I need to hold the drill much more steadily which can cause for mishaps.
