Daniel's Nem Propagation 120

Daniel@R2R · Jun 20, 2014

Sooo....still no lights (hopefully today???), but I thought I'd interrupt our normal program to show off my newest frag. :bigsmile:

Ethan was born yesterday almost 4 weeks early, but still weighs in at 8 pounds and measured 20 inches!

Here he is!

Thanks guys! I've been hangin' out a lot with the little guy, but I'll be back to finishing this build soon. LOL

I did finally install one light (so now it's a half lighted tank), and I have added one frag to see how coral worthy it is. Everything is working great! I'll be posting some pics soon hopefully (once I get the other light up).

The lights I am putting over it for now are temporary until I can build my canopy and my buddy can fix the LEDs that were built for this tank. They did finally come in, but there were a few bulbs that got busted in route and the wires need to be finished. Hopefully soon...until then I'll use my good ol' chinese LEDs. :)

The end game plan is to install my custom built LEDs (Luxeon rebels) and 4 t5 bulbs to supplement for best color.

Thanks! :) Yep! My daughter will be in 2 in November, and this little guy just made a month old. Here's my princess looking at my other tank (180g).

WOW! It's been a long time since I posted an update to this thread...probably bc there's not much to report on this poor neglected tank. LOL

I have had a MAJOR aiptasia outbreak that I've been trying to bring under control. I bought some berghias...I thought they all died, but then noticed one a few days ago (and he was HUGE), so I guess they're still at work.

I recently bought a couple of radions for the tank (my ideas for a DIY setup have been dashed to bits at this point). I have also bought the stuff to add a DIY T5 setup to supplement. I'll be looking to build a canopy in the next little while (ok...hopefully at some point this year...).

In interesting developments, I had 3 clowns for a while in here, and then about 3 months ago, I noticed that one had disappeared...then today, I noticed the second one was gone (and he was there this morning swimming around at feeding time). So, I began to investigate around the tank supposing he must have gone carpet surfing. When I couldn't find him anywhere on the floor, I decided to check the overflow. Much to my surprise, there was my happy little snowflake swimming in the overflow, so I rescued him...then I got to thinking about that other missing clown, so I checked the other overflow...guess who has been swimming around in that corner overflow box for the last 3 months!!?? I now have 3 happy little clowns all swimming around again in the DT. So, the moral of our story is if you lose a fish, ALWAYS check the overflow! :)
