2(+) Year Retrospective of a 12g Nano - Page 6

This new macro lens let me see things I could not see with my eyes such as the ricordia yuma babies. I knew I had the toddler yuma and one new baby but if you look close there are 3 other babies. They were all on the same piece of rock in such a way that some were always in the substrate so I cut the rock in half and placed them so they were all safe. In the pic there is another lil baby behind the neon green one too.

I got home from work last night and checked in on the nano in the bedroom.
All is well and I fed the lil piggys. A couple of hours later I walk by the room and notice the tank is dark. I can see the reflection of the heater light in the rear chamber sO i know the light is getting power.
I am afraid the ballast is blown. A few weeks ago i bought replacement bulbs even though the bulb in use is only about 5 months old. I was trying to be prepared. I change the bulb - The old bulb rattles when I shake it - and plug it in. I have light again. The not-that-old bulb had burned out.
I reset the timer to cut back on the photo period for the new bulb and all was happy in nanoland again

very nice pictures!!! love the YUMA babies! i want a yuma so bad! i only have a couple rics and a couple more on the way...:P

Wow - love the 12g!! - I didn't realize that the yuma dropped off little babies like that. i thought it reproduced by fission more like the florida. Do you n ot have any issues with the yumas and floridas touching ? I know they are both ricordea but was under the impression they needed to be well spaced from each other.

goldenmean · 04-13-2008, 09:14 PM

No they both seem to do better when they are close together.
Mama yuma didn't start to drop babies until after I had put them all together.

nice job, I am a beginner to the reef hobby, and have an 8g BC. I wish I had taken pics along the way, it is great to remind yourself how far the tank has come. Good luck and nice reef!
