Just awesome, Nico. Are you having any trouble with the red scleronepthea? How long have you had it, and did you have to mount it upside-down?

Peace,

Chip

Ah, I misunderstood then


I thought you squeezed the 250w DE in with both the original bulbs.

So, you put one of the original lights back in it or something different?

Mine has 2- 65 watt PC's in it with either one or two Led's.

I have been thinking of putting something else with it.

I still can't get over the colors, one of the colors in there really sets the tank off, but I don't know which one it is...

Hey knucklehead, I originally took out both PC's and just left it with one 250w DE, and only recently re-mounted one of the PC's. It has the standard 2-LED moonlight which IMO doesn't really do all that much...

Chip! Good to see you posting again
I mounted the Sclero just before I took that pic. It came on a piece of rubble rock which I shoved under that overhang... it seems to be doing ok so far, expanding in the day and shrinking at night, but I'll have to wait and see. Been feeding some Cyclopeeze, so hopefully it'll survive.

I haven't updated this thread for awhile...so i thought i'd revive it. Tank had its 1 yr birthday a few weeks ago...here's how it's looking now:

Replaced the old remora with the Deltec MCe600 skimmer....so far loving it a lot.

where could i find a cap clown? Are there any online vendors that sel them?
Thanks,
Kevin

 

[Len]

They're very hard to come by. You will probably see one pop up at a random online vendor every few months.

 

[kevin b]

Any tank updates?

 

[NKT]

Yes! Some updates: my male cirrhilabrus johnsoni went carpet surfing over winter break while I was away . Other than that, no significant changes... some pics

Oh...yeah this is my second mystery. The first one went carpet surfing while I was away on break. I really should cover my tank I suppose lol. I'm considering possibly removing it in the interest of keeping crustaceans...but he's so pretty. Might be getting some ventralis next...

Wow, that's beautiful. I am in admiration of the rotundity of your blenny.
