Hemmdog’s 90gal Seaciety and 40gal Vale of Shadows

Took some pics of my biocube since I had my polyp lab filter out. This tank is autopilot to the max. I do nothing lol.

Biocube FTS

Frogspawn and golden mushroom finally splitting after a year!

Kryptonite mushroom getting huge (3’) hopefully it will start making babies soon!

My octospawn is coming back to life as well. Any one know what kind this is? It’s yellowish but I don’t think it’s a true yellow.

Could you check my build for placement to make sure nothing is in a obviously bad spot?

@Hemmdog You asked me about SPS placement. I am no expert, but I will say a few things I have learned and seen.

First, all my research said give the Millepora the most light and flow. You saw in my thread earlier that has seemed to hold true.

Second, I shot for SPS PAR around 250-350. I make any changes very slowly. I used a PAR meter (Seneye) a few times to check. I also shot for heavy random flow.

I will think about it some more.

Sounds good. I’ll keep an eye on them. The asd rainbow Milli gets good flow in that spot now but I think it’s shadowed a little bit when my t5’s aren’t on. We will see I guess, haha. My par should be decent with 2 360’s and 4 t5’s 11 inches above the water id assume.

Got a new fish today! Midas Blenny! From the mysterious and distant land of Sri Lanka

Sitting shotty

I told him the seats are black! Your camouflaging to the wrong color bud! He gets confused...

He found himself a nice little house in my zoa barnacle.

Peekaboo!

Hello world! ;Singing

Really cool fish. Lots of personality, looks much prettier in person as well. Great suggestion @NY_Caveman !

Does anyone with JFox Flame keep it higher up? I was told it was fairly low light for an acro. I have 360’s and t5 hybrid. I keep it on the sandbed actually, it’s encrusted some but the color is not good at all. Is this brown a low light brown or what else could be causing this?

My fish sitters bible

I sure hope my tank does ok while I’m up in Tahoe ;Nailbiting;Wideyed

Does the person know what a fish tank is or is it a pro? We take for granted terms like baffle and powerhead. But if a muggle is caring for a tank they will not remember what those things are. Make it super simple if so. Label everything and print it out typed with pictures.
