Shade the Sun corals and grab your sun glasses!

Frankie · 10-27-2007, 05:04 PM

I'm all ready for the pictures Christopher!

Melanie · 10-27-2007, 07:37 PM

Yeah yeah yeah! You got your b-day present early! You have the coolest parents.

You definitely have to post pictures.

GeeWizzItsMe · 10-27-2007, 08:50 PM

Okay ya'll! I was at a party, and I am uploading the pics now! They aren't very good as my camera and I are still acclimating to the new and GREAT lights! Hope corals are, too!

How is your lighting schedule going?

GeeWizzItsMe · 10-27-2007, 09:03 PM

Well, starting at 5 hours a day, then adding 15 minutes everday, until it is 11 hours long (Probably from 9-8).

Craig Manoukian · 10-27-2007, 09:05 PM

Sounds good, can't wait to see your pictures!

GeeWizzItsMe · 10-27-2007, 09:08 PM

These are my new zoos from Melanie that I got yesterday!! They are beautiful!!!!

These are all the zoos I have, but some are about to become Melanie's!

This is the new toadstool!!! When should it open up? I feel stupid because I keep buying yellow/orange corals!

And now!!! The FTS! The pic isn't very good, and the tank is kinda dirty, but ya'll asked for it lol!

Melanie · 10-27-2007, 09:13 PM

Wow wow wow. What a great photo of your new zoas! Thank you for the photos!

GeeWizzItsMe · 10-27-2007, 09:15 PM

Thanks! I tried hard lol!

GeeWizzItsMe · 10-27-2007, 09:20 PM

Oh, I saw this PERFECT 4" crocea at the LFS that I LOVED! I wanted it so badly! Then I told my mom "darn, my tank has only been set up for 3 months!"

This makes me sad because it was just what I would want... It was so great...
Also, I thought it would be good to have because it sucks up nitrates, so I bought it, JK! I didn't, but I sure wanted to! Do you have to have a 6 month tank to have them??? Thanks!

tbittner · 10-27-2007, 09:51 PM

Patience is certainly key. I bought, and lost, two clams. I've given up on them for a while. I have fantastic lights too, but I also have a flame angel and I'm suspecting that it picked at the clams. But I don't know that for a fact. I just haven't had success yet. Dentoid said that it's kind of hit and miss with them.

I'll try again in a few months. I don't think clams like a lot of nitrates though.

Nice pics, Christopher!! What kind of light did you get? The Viper? what's the wattage and all?

GeeWizzItsMe · 10-27-2007, 09:56 PM

Yup, 150W Viper clamp on! 14K!!! I'm SO happy! It is all bright and shimmery!

kathywithbirds · 10-27-2007, 09:58 PM

he he he You should have seen my reaction when we first plugged mine in. Same as yours, a 150W 14K. It took a few minutes to warm up and I was a little disappointed. I got to doing somethign else for a bit and came back to the tank and WOW!!! It was like the sun coming out after a storm, seems brigther than normal, you know? I like that shimmer too.
