Froggiebunbun's 7 gallon (Will Update Sporadically!)

[Deanos]

deanos its a suggestion.. and a good one :thanks: :lol2: it will be even happier...

I understand it's a suggestion. But why would his dendrophyllia be happier, if shaded?

 

[Quang]

Thx for the suggestion Tony, but my Dendro looks pretty happy. So happy that I'll show you a clip of it eating Click on the image.



***This was over the course of 10 mins... I sped it up.

The beauty of LPS!! Who wants to see an Acropora polyp consume nearly invisible food, when you can get video like this.

 

[jenniebutterfly]

wow, that video was amazing. i liked watching that polyp fatten up

 

[masterswimmer]

Q, awesome vid dude. I agree with Deano on this. LPS have personality!

Froggie you are no joke, you should be nano-king. What are some of husdandry techniques on your nano

 

[Quang]

Thanks everyone.

Dru... I keep it simple.

Weekly Maintenaince:
I run Chemi-pure, which I swap out every 6 months.
I run poly-filter pads that I change when exhausted
I do 2g WC (roughly 30%) every week or so. I use Oceanic.
Add one drop of Lugols every 2 weeks.
Don't dose anything else.
Don't test anything (I know, I know but ehh, sometimes overactions lead to problems. This is my way of preventing myself from working myself up into thinking there is a problem. My coral's appearance is my way to guage tank parameters.)

Feeding:
I feed my LPS every other day (Mon, Weds, Fridays). I turn off all water movements (pumps and HOB filter) when spot feeding the candies, brains, and dendros. Once my dendros are done swallowing the mysis, I turn the equipment back on.
I pour one cap of Marine Snow and 1 tbs of Invert. Smorgsmabord 2 times a week (Tuesday, Fridays)
Feed my fishes and cleaner shrimps flakes and pellets everyday.
Cyclopeeze once a week.

Manually top off water everyday.
I have timers on my lights and fans.

I would have to say the key to my tank is the 30% WC each week. It's a lot easier to do that, cheaper too, with a nano. That's about it, Dru....If you have any other specific questions, LMK.

Quick Update:

I had taken down my Tek-lights because the legs didnt fit the dimensions of the newer 7g tank. I needed to order the hanging fixture via Ronen. The cables were a little too long, and the instructions were a little too complicated, so I improvised....hoping everything will turn out ok. It turn out better than ok. The lights are sitting a perfect 6.5" from the water surfaces.

So here it is, the new 7g glass tank with the Tek T-5 fixture.

1st pic all 4 bulbs
2nd pic actinic and AquaBlue+

I hope the T-5 will color up my gorgonias, digita, yumis, and brains.

awesome vid and the lights look killer. if only LPS ate that fast it would be much cooler to watch. keep up the good work.

 

[Chiefmcfuz]

Wow th elights are bigger than the tank Looks great!

 

[Quang]

Its been a while since I updated. Nothing new. Summer is here so been busy. Tank inhabitants are still healthy and happy. *Fingers Crossed* :screama:

 

[tinyreef]

nice pics, frog!

 

[alrha]

how's the new yellow fiji doing?

 

[Quang]

Its doing well, Albert. Its a little green in my lights, maybe it'll yellow out later.

 

[ulmo]

Froggie,

Greats shots of your frags! Is that a clove polyp under the dendro? Keep the updates coming.

 

[Quang]

yeah Peter, its the same clove polyp in the 2nd pic. I just moved it over so i can take a better shot.

 

[alrha]

Its doing well, Albert. Its a little green in my lights, maybe it'll yellow out later.

hmmm, is that under actinics?
perhaps give it a few days to adjust. i wouldnt think it can turn green. brown ok, but green? funny, maybe it is jealous of your hot tank?
