Kdocimo90 · 09/17/2008, 10:28 PM

Very nice AwkwardParrot.... Im not sure what the clown would really be protecting it from... I mean, it's letting the shrimps play around with it/clean it/hang out near it

Kdocimo90 · 09/18/2008, 11:57 AM

LOTS of pictures on the way... Uploading them right now

Kdocimo90 · 09/18/2008, 12:14 PM

So I bought some (alot) of frags from PL-Reef Last night... Was a long night tool. Here are the pictures of them at their new home

Hmm whats inside the big nasty cooler?

WOW.....there is a few frags on there...exciting! can't wait to see the pix of them in place!

MADtanks · 09/18/2008, 01:23 PM

sweet stuff man, but i would be a little worried as to how close the lights are to the frags? just dont want ya burning your sweet new frags, good luck brotha.

Kdocimo90 · 09/18/2008, 01:42 PM

yeah.. .they're t-5's so im not as worried as i would be if they were MH... Im soon going to be putting them in a MH setup so I gotta figure some stuff out.

PL-Reef · 09/18/2008, 02:05 PM

I would keep a very close eye on the those frags. The T5s that close can and will bleach them.

Kdocimo90 · 09/18/2008, 02:47 PM

Alright.. I'll try to lower them... I couldnt get them any lower last night...

PL-Reef · 09/18/2008, 02:50 PM

Cut up some pieces of egg crate and put them right on your sand bed.

Kdocimo90 · 09/18/2008, 03:37 PM

I was thinking about that but it's a pain to get in and out.. I just added more zipties and it's about a foot below the water now

Kdocimo90 · 09/18/2008, 03:52 PM

oops double post

Kdocimo90 · 09/18/2008, 03:52 PM

I dont want to put it in the sand because my carpet has been moving around.. and the last thing i want is it to sting all the frags

ctreefer · 09/18/2008, 05:03 PM

I'll watch them for you.

weaselslucks · 09/18/2008, 05:44 PM

PL-Reef always has some great stuff

MADtanks · 09/18/2008, 05:55 PM

im so mad he had to break the frag system down

boo.... no more corals for me hahah.

and yea, T5s vs MH lol... lets not go there, but please do move them down.

Kdocimo90 · 09/18/2008, 06:10 PM

i did move them down....

Kdocimo90 · 09/18/2008, 08:01 PM

SOO happy I got my filter socks in the mail today... put 3 of them in the sump and the tank now looks 100000 times better

Kdocimo90 · 09/19/2008, 07:16 AM

I just realized that I have an "underwater" setting on my camera....
this should be useful

MADtanks · 09/19/2008, 08:01 AM

very hahhaha

Kdocimo90 · 09/19/2008, 03:26 PM

Just thought i'd show a cool pic of my tang that i took

Kdocimo90 · 09/24/2008, 09:31 PM

bad news... carpet died

..

VERY upset... wasnt my water parameters or anything.. Not sure if it was the clowns that were being very aggressive with it, or anything else.. but im pretty mad.

Next carpet/anemone i get will DEFINITELY not be from an online retailer. Jeeze.. the carpet looks amazing too.. cant grasp the fact that it went from looking perfectly health to just mush in about a week.

ctreefer · 09/24/2008, 10:38 PM

Sorry to hear that. I saw your post in the other forum and was hoping for the best.

At least you caught it before it polluted the tank if that means anything.

Kdocimo90 · 09/24/2008, 10:45 PM

yeah I know.. i was thinking about that too. That would have been a mess... Things happen for a reason i guess.. Unfortanetly this reason cost me about 90 bucks!

Anyone have recommendations on an anomone i'll have success with... or anyone have a matured/health (carpet) anemone they're looking to get rid of?
