J/k - The previous one you had was always photo bombing your videos. Very cool personality that one had.

Resurrecting an older topic...
Around post 1450 or so, you wet sanded your acrylic tank to remove scratches and coralline algae. Did you not worry about all the acrylic "fines" left behind in the process irritating your livestock? I have a small acrylic tank that has been chewed up by hungry urchins, and looking to use the same process you did since it came out so great.

Here is a thread I started some time back that documents the entire scratch removal process and includes pictures and videos showing each step. http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/sh....php?t=2538092

They probably easily float and get skimmer out quickly. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'm on the boarder of glass and acrylic, as an acrylic owner would you recommend one? My concern is with having kids in the house. Would you recommend staying with glass until they are older or just sand out imperfections later on....

Figured I would do a quick update. The tank is doing great. One of these days I need to take some growth pictures. That said, I had been wanting some Multibar Angelfish for nearly a year. Yesterday I was finally was able to get my hands on a couple. Also picked up a yellow coris wrasse. He's a tiny one. Smaller than I would have preferred. Hopefully it stays out of my overflow. Fortunately I have filter socks to catch it should it decide to take a ride. I spent 8 hours acclimating these fish to my water and finally got them in the system around 12:30am last night. They can in at pretty low salinity which I was expecting. Now I am waiting for the lights to come on in hopes that they come out.

Hi Scott.
Amazing angels. I suppose they are reef safe, right? |

You've never had a Bellus couple?

Unfortunately not. I want to get a male but they are hard to come by and usually pretty expensive. I had kind of forgotten about that one too. I do however need to put that on my wish list again. I could probably go with another female as it would likely change to male but I'd hate to have agreession issues.

Personally, I don't think the male Bellus is anything to be excited about, and not worth the extra cost, but that's my personal opinion .

So... you buy 2 females, wait for 1 to become male and then sell it for the cost of 2 females... :-) then you buy another female....

I bought a Kessil A360WE for my REEFER Nano almost solely based on your untiring cheerleading for it. So far I like the light better than other LEDs I have used but the tank is really new so time will tell. I have it dialed way back at 30% color and 30% intensity for a 4 hour peak. It's a 12 hour photoperiod and the light is at 15% intensity 0 color outside the peak time. The red goniopora, hammer, and yellow leather seem happy. I'm scared to turn it up because I'm pretty sure I fried my now deceased bubble tip when I first got the Kessil.
I have to say I'm a little bummed to see that you have added the Mitras. It was great to see such and inspirational all Kessil tank. Don't get me wrong it's still inspirational and the Mitras look awesome. Thanks for sharing your experience and knowledge. |
