Wow nice. I would get a sand sifting goby for the SB.Also not likeing the powerheads you have in there.Little weak i think.

Diver4life · 12/21/2007, 07:58 PM

Thanks for the comment, the power heads are 1200 maxijet and theres a lot of water movement but what you recommend me demonsp?

zma21 · 12/21/2007, 08:03 PM

More water movement is needed.

Tunze nanostreams, or for the budget; hydor koralia's.

Deb91 · 12/21/2007, 08:06 PM

Nice job! Do your shrimp hang around together? Is that your only fish.

Diver4life · 12/21/2007, 08:10 PM

also i have for water movement the emperor 400 without the biowheels and the return pump from the wet/dry, Ihave 1 PH facing the top of the water and the 2nd one to the top of the LR. What do you think ?

demonsp · 12/21/2007, 08:10 PM

I would go with this or similar. http://www.drsfostersmith.com/produc...71&pcatid=4671

They have a flow control valve and duckbill tip for dierectino control. Put on one side and use the other on the other side pointing toward the back of the rock work. Besides these pumps are great for water changes.With a clear tube you can drain and fill fast.But you should refill the new batch kinda slow though.

Diver4life · 12/21/2007, 08:13 PM

I have 2 mated pair of scarlets both pair hang out in the same spot and sometimes the bigger pair chase the small ones. I hve the ocellaris and a tomato, but i have in the QT 2 yellowheads jawfish (maited pair) and 7 Green banded gobies,

If you want a big, ugly pump that heats up your water, go with this one.

Diver4life · 12/21/2007, 08:15 PM

Thanks demonsp.

Diver4life · 12/21/2007, 08:17 PM

I will do my research thanks. Glad you guys like my tank so far.

demonsp · 12/21/2007, 08:19 PM

Ok zma21. I hate recomending equipment for this reason. I did state this or similar. They do give you great control and work well for the price. I wish i could recomend another type that does the same but dont know one and i use this pump myself. A little clutter and slight temp change is much better then out of control nitrate and algea.
I think for a newbie this is a great tool and as you learn and grow with the hobby you can make more educated choices on equipment but till then go with what works.This was all typed under no deress or disrespect to you though.

Wow. Did you completely skip the brown algae????

Diver4life · 12/21/2007, 08:28 PM

Yeap i hope that doesn show up dude.

Diver4life · 12/21/2007, 08:32 PM

Guys Its christmas time and i had spent a lot of money on my kids. Wright now i cant spend more money in my tank Im on a short budget. So what can i doto improve the water movement with what i have,i mean how i should set my power heads in the tank? back, front or in the middle of the tank.

mg426 · 12/21/2007, 08:33 PM

nice looking tank !!

Diver4life · 12/21/2007, 08:35 PM

By the way navychief i had completed the cycle without the ligths maybe was that.

Diver4life · 12/21/2007, 08:36 PM

Thanks mg426 i feel good knowing that you guys like the tank of a newbie.

demonsp · 12/21/2007, 08:40 PM

We would like to see your tank looking this good for a long time. The results of low flow with no stock may take awile to show and you dont want it to show. In case you havent seen this then hope it helps.GL.

Diver4life · 12/21/2007, 08:44 PM

demonsp i appreciate your help,thanks for the links tomorrow i will set the PH like the link said

scotmc · 12/21/2007, 08:53 PM

Your on the low side for flow. You can either do a maxi jet modification or purchase someting better. Two Tunze 6055 would be great. I would avoid Rio.

Your tank is far to early for a sand sifting goby. It would probally starve, espically if it had to compete for food once more fish are introduced.

Diver4life · 12/21/2007, 09:01 PM

thanks scotm for the reply.

baldomero · 12/21/2007, 09:09 PM

Diver4life · 12/21/2007, 09:10 PM
