SW FINALLY getting started...

[Greenturtle]

Coral Magazine just did an issue on LED lighting. If you have an iPhone/iPad/iPod Touch you can get it for free on the app store.

I picked it up the other day and read iit cover to cover. And still no closer to making a decision, primarily, because I don't have the money for what is proven and on the market right now.

 

[HalfMoon B]

Well, the clowns are feisty and fuming as ever, I see the cardinals more every day. The chromis I am sure are just clowns in disguise, and even my coral banded shrimp scutters about all day. Win in my book. Coralline is starting to spread, and even got a few freebie corals, although I have no clue what they are....take a look!

 

[coffeetwitch]

halfmoon your rock work is artistry. do you have a big picture of it?

 

[HalfMoon B]

Hope this helps. The cardinals are worrisome. They seem to eat nothing but the 2000+ pods I dumped in there last month...

 

[coffeetwitch]

what do you mean the light isnt quite right?

 

[coffeetwitch]

nm you havent gotten a new light to replace the one with only one cord. gotcha. are you atleast pleased with its light out put or are you going to look for a 6 bulb? or do more looking into leds?

 

[HalfMoon B]

I'm still researching. Not sure yet
Last fishes!!

 

[HalfMoon B]

Are blenny's just perpetual hiders?

 

[Greenturtle]

It depends on the Blenny. My Midas Blenny swims around all day, but I just ordered an Algae Blenny that will probably stay in the rocks :/

What kind of algae blenny? I have a small lawn mower...I think...?

 

[Greenturtle]

I think Algae Blennies and Lawnmower Blennies are the same thing

I think Algae Blennies and Lawnmower Blennies are the same thing

Is it sad I forgot which one I got? I got an algae eater, I know that. I was looking at a scooter, but I doubt the pods in my tank would support him AND my cardinals...

 

[HalfMoon B]

Lawnmower, right?

 

[coffeetwitch]

hard to tell in the picture.

 

[HalfMoon B]

He doesn't look like the lawnmowers online, be he is an algae eater... And he found hide home!

 

[coffeetwitch]

there he kinda looks like one. looks good in that little hole.

 

[HalfMoon B]

I have more fun hunting for him than watching anything else right now, but once he is found I can just sit back and enjoy the activity...

 

[coffeetwitch]

whats your current stock? fish and coral. any problems with your corrals under your not quite right 4bulb light?

 

[HalfMoon B]

2 black ocellaris clowns that look to be a pair (one is a misbarred! Free bonus!) 2 pajama cardinals, 3 green chromis, 1 blenny, 1 purple firefish. I wasn't ready for a helfrichi based on thir possible eating temperaments but I still want one soooooo bad. Rh I have a heck of a CUC. Nassarius, turbo, astrea and nerite snails, and hermit crabs, and a coral banded shrimp
