Brand New 8 gallon bio cube

[Katrina71]

Will y'all look at this background kit? Current USA Serene lighting. Seriously considering it for the new build. The full effect kit is for freshwater and can include sound. That isn't practical for our build though.

Andrew loves funky lighting. Color change LEDs are his thing. I think he'd really enjoy this.

 

[Katrina71]

The strange part is, I was already planning a frosted glass look for the rear pane anyway.

To quote him..."the big tank should be elegant by day, and disco by night"

 

[Katrina71]

He begs me every year not to take down the Christmas tree because he loves the colored lights.

 

[Katrina71]

Eh, may be just a silly idea.

What are some new projects in terms of new builds, livestock, or coral setups is everyone working on?

Brand new build here! LOL! Just don't get mad if you read this whole thread and the tank is still dry - and filling up with dust. :)

Maybe just make sure it is easy to remove as his tastes and yours change. I am the old curmudgeon though, so ... :-)

Your patience is inhuman...

Your patience is inhuman...

That’s what I hear. :p

One of mine, not the rescue, that and my other one have green tentacles.
The more I look at a lot of the tanks I follow the more I think a few more people could dip their toes (picture the boy retching) into nps?! :)

 

[Why-Me]

Someone on local reefing forum just ordered a new tank is selling his waterbox 190 pro reef for $1,200 in the spring, around March.
Maybe I will try to make a 5' work here...?!
Tank and stand, no sump. I have 40 breeder in my garage unused for a sump!!

@tdlawdo
Is that a good enough deal to not buy one new??

 

[sfin52]

You guys this is a massive shroom. It's about 4 inches fully opened. I never seen shrooms have tenticles like this one.

 

[Katrina71]

@sfin52 More pics of the shrooms please. Any ID?

 

[Katrina71]

These are similar. Much more like a true nem.

What are top down lenses for smart phones? Does anybody use one?

 

[Fin]

Don’t know about top down lenses, but they make top down acrylic boxes that float and you can put your phone inside the box. The clear part of the box is below the water surface and you can take better pics, without the glare of lights or movement at the surface. Knowing me, I would drop my phone in the tank. :)

 

[Katrina71]

I didn't even know about these. This would have been awesome to show y'all the Black Swan.

Top down lens/box for a phone is a rectangular box made of acrylic that floats. The acrylic gives you a view from top down without glare from lights or water movement, like @Fin said. They make them for DSLRs also, but they are round and have acrylic set screws to hold them onto the lens. One of my LFS has a few of the viewing ones for looking at their corals. Tanks are low frag tanks and it's hard to see with the water movement. With the lens you can see right thru the water to the coral.
