The female clown is the one that I still don't know if it is a true or false perc. I know the male is a false and I'm almost certain that the female is also a false but the coloring is confusing me. She looks like an Onyx perc with the black body and orange belly.
I thought I started to see some bleaching on the green slimer, I moved it down just in case. Both the chalices that I have are up high and seem to love it. I'm almost certain that the watermelon chalice has grown a little with the new lights. It is also my favorite coral at the moment and I...
Here are some pictures of my tank. I just cleaned out the back chambers so things are a little "dusty". I didn't have time to take picture after using the turkey baster and water change to wait for everything to settle again.
The new LEDs
A really bad picture of the Watermelon...
Was it unusually cold in Mexico this year? I would also look into the Monarch Butterfly's migration as well since they too winter in Mexico. May shed some light.
I had a humming bird fly into my garage one summer and had to catch it with my hands. We didn't have a net with the holes small enough. The following year the silly thing did it again. The real icing on the cake is that the bird was part of a study going on somewhere since it had a band. Haven't...
So my LEDs finally came in yesterday and I got them installed. It was a fun little project, it didn't com with instructions and I have zero experience with lighting. Now I just have to get the corals used to the bright light and post some pictures.
I used to drink that.... I have since lost a lot of hair algae, I know some of you guys don't like emeralds but mine goes to town on anything that is fuzzy and green. My Churb is helping out too but it like the mysis that I feed more but it still picks at the rock. The Pygmy Angle has not touch...
You think another power head is needed in the tank? When I read about coral health and it states that this particular coral needs moderate or high flow it doesn't really give me something to reference it to. ??? I always wonder if it is too much or too little.
I have a Koraline Mini and the only thing I have in the back is some lr rubble and chaeto. I was thinking of getting another small LED to get more light to the chaeto so it can photosynthesize better. You also reminded me that my little pump could use another cleaning, maybe that will help...
So it has been a year since I started this tank and thought I would finally share what I got. Starting with the light I just ordered an LED hood from nanotoners.com and should have it around 2-3 weeks, can't wait to see it. For fish I have a pair of False Percs. The female looks almost exactly...
