El Camaron August 12, 2009 August 12, 2009 thats a nice wave you created, and some good flow all over.
Leishman August 12, 2009 Author August 12, 2009 is that only 1 vortech doing all of that? thats awesome.... 2 - The second one was added last night. It only took 5 minutes to sync them and another 15 to set the wave. thats a nice wave you created, and some good flow all over. We'll see.
Leishman August 12, 2009 Author August 12, 2009 You need more softies No. SPS and LPS only. Will be pulling Palys (need the $$$) but may keep that softie thing that's in there now. May add an Aussie Golden torch if I can find a nice one.
El Camaron August 12, 2009 August 12, 2009 why you say that Rik? you dont like the flow or dont think its enough for when you add more SPS?
Leishman August 12, 2009 Author August 12, 2009 why you say that Rik? you dont like the flow or dont think its enough for when you add more SPS? It's been running for 12hrs. I think I'll need to see how everything reacts and go from there.
Leishman August 12, 2009 Author August 12, 2009 liking the new avtar.... Been holding this one in reserve for ~12months.

I just hooked up an mp10 on my tank and i am really liking lagoon mode at 100% power but i will give the wave a try in a few.
Nate August 13, 2009 August 13, 2009 (edited) How is that Vertex Alpha 250 treatin ya? Edited August 13, 2009 by Nate
Leishman September 10, 2009 Author September 10, 2009 How is that Vertex Alpha 250 treatin ya? Working well with the new insert in place. It will be put to the test soon when I pull the trigger on my fish list: Bartletts x 10 Tailspot blenny Helfrichi Firefish Pair Mystery Wrasse Fang (Striped) Blenny x3 Smithii Blenny Forktail Blenny Candy Hogfish Hector's Goby Clownfish pair. Yet to be selected. There are others on a list at home..............
rocko918 September 11, 2009 September 11, 2009 (edited) Keep an eye on those blennies. I have found that they don't like each other and will fight. Looks Awesome! Edited September 11, 2009 by rocko918
Sikryd September 15, 2009 September 15, 2009 Keep an eye on those blennies. I have found that they don't like each other and will fight. Looks Awesome! +1 Looking good Rik Nice fish list too. The only thing I would worry about is your Mystery chasing stuff out of the tank. Mine did it to one of the smaller flames. They're all cool now though. I guess he had to establish his dominance after the tang and foxface were gone.
Leishman September 29, 2009 Author September 29, 2009 So I took some pics last night. The tank still looks like crap. I have had tanks for over 8 years and never had an algae problem until now; except the bubble algae when I gave my Vlamingi Tang to Sanjay for the Pen State tank. Anyway, this algae is stringy, brown and filamentous, which makes manual removal impossible. I am blowing it off the rocks each night and running filter socks to get as much out as possible. Enough about that nightmare, here's the pictures: Too blue but
Sikryd September 29, 2009 September 29, 2009 Looking good Rik - some nice colors from what I can tell. On the algae issue, yeah that can be a nightmare. I set this new tank up and decided to do Brightwells partial zeo. I don't have any algae at all, and haven't since day 1. This includes diatom blooms, ect. from transferring to a new tank. I had cultured lr and stuff, but still usually got the blooms and some algae after the other tank transfers. I might quit doing it when I go to the new tank. (yeah were getting a new one for the basement, the wife wants to get the tank down there, so I agreed. Now I just have to pick one out and order it. It'll be a few months till I do since the basement hasn't been started yet) I'd love to stop by and check the tank out with the wife one of these days. That way she can see what a similiarly sized and dimension tank actually looks like in place. It would also give me some ideas as far as incorporating it into the basement since I am still designing it.
Leishman September 29, 2009 Author September 29, 2009 Here's my latest addition.... It will be here on Thursday.
Leishman September 29, 2009 Author September 29, 2009 Was that the only one? I can't find it. Sending you a PM
