Convict2161 said:What lights do you have again? HQI right?
Audiew said:Yep the HQI!
Convict2161 said:I'd say go for it!!
Just keep an eye on it. If you can put it on a rock near the sand bed.
Audiew said:That's what I like to hear! Could I put it directly on the sand bed?
Convict2161 said:Yes you can. That's where mine started out but I noticed when it opened and closed that it started getting deeper into my sand bed. I have a deep sand bed so I was afraid it was gonna get lost lol.[/
Lol well I've gotta say since I have that 55 gallon cichlid tank I just love how you have so much flexibility with this saltwater set up. Plus they are so colorfull
Convict2161 said:Thanks!! Hard work but I love every second of it!!
I'm glad I can help and inspire so many here on the forum!!
That makes it all worth while. When I can help others on the hobby and pass on the knowledge that was taught to me.
Audiew said:I really thought that going from a cichlid tank to a saltwater would be so difficult but I think it's really not as long as you stay on top of it. Don't get me wrong I love my cichlids, but I can look at that saltwater tank for hours. Even though it only has a few frags lol but it's getting there for sure.
Convict2161 said:Yeah I feel the same. I love my Cichlid tank but the SW is just a whole different ball game. And your right staying on top of it and being patient will REALLY pay off!! Just take it slow. Look where I got in 9 months!! You can do the same. Just test test test and do your water changes. And NEVER dose anything you can't test for
Audiew said:I have been acclimating the clam, some snails, and some polyps for the last hour and a half. About to put them in the tank.
Convict2161 said:Can't wait for pics!
Audiew said:Here you go guys!
22engine said:Sweet now I really want one lol. I am saving some cash to make a trip in a couple weeks to a lfs that is really nice but I always want to spend a lot so I am waiting to save up enough cash. Want some LPS and maybe the clam and more mushrooms. Also I really haven't for got ya. I promise to get that fuge out to you tomorrow. I have to go to the post office
22engine said:Also after conversing with convict who didn't have much luck with the fuge I believe we have figured out the issue and I think I have mine turning around and growing.
