I like it. Is it replacing the hex tank next to it in the first photo? If so, I totally approve of the decision, much more slick looking.

[Oprah Wrangler]

That looks great. What lights are you using?

How many clowns do you have, I see different types, two black and whites and one regular? You should think about becoming a paying member so you have access to the rest of the site and I can move your thread to the dedicated tank area where it will get more traffic. http://wamas.org/forums/topic/22834-wys-is-not-wyg-with-wamas/

I am using 2 kessil 350w. I had two clowns, smaller died due to stress because of my six line. The six line almost stressed the big black clown to death but input him in prison without parole the refuguim. So I put a orange oc and they are paired up. I haven't got around to getting a membership yet but I will

 

[Coral Hind]

I moved the thread to the Dedicated Tank area for you. Any updates for us?

[fscbishop]

Yeah added some coral and a purple fire fish, clown started hosting nem today!! Will post video soon

[Coral Hind]

That sounds cool. It's always fun when the clowns finally find the anemone to host in.

guess he was happy to see me

[fscbishop]

broke down and ordered the RF Modules for my MP10s now they are wireless, pretty cool. Added some SPS from a WAMAS member, slimmer, some acros, and green birdsnest i believe.

 

 

 

in the first pick a acro base is turning white, does that mean its bleaching or dying?

 

ALK 3.7 CA 470

[fscbishop]

anyone?

[surf&turf]

Your Alk and Cal are out of balance. Not sure if your dosing both, but you need to let the Cal come down to around 425. 470 isn't terrible, but its a little high. What are your phosphates and nitrates?

[wade]

If you used epoxy, that always kills some tissue near where it was attached.

[fscbishop]

ok, yeah i am dosing, and i did use epoxy. phosphates are 0.049 and nitrate are 0

[smallreef]

What are you dosing? Is it a 2 part or 3 part?

Biggest thing is knowing that Ca works with Mg and Alk... Have to keep all 3 in balance....

[fscbishop]

dosing 2 part CA and ALK

[fscbishop]

 

 

couple updates, flame angel, traded tomle for a reef octopus skimmer, issac hooked up a couple corals, add some digi and acros
