James’s 29g Nano Build

I'm keeping watch. I'll move the ZOA's if he creeps on their rock.

People underestimate zoas they fight back with a vengeance

Oh I know. It worries me. I don't want to know who will win.
I had an Aussie leather my mad palythoas couldn't take down . they killed everything else they got near.

As long as it isn't the current price tag.
This just in.

Bta is probably after my ZOA's. And will probably lose

That’s what I’m looking for - nice healthy stock without the crazy price tag. I found a super nice 125g setup for $1,500, that has a yellow tang, a really healthy oooking clown pair, a group of chromis, etc.

Just move the zoa frag away from the BTA. I would never personally have any of my frags that close to mine.

No. My dumb moment is kicking in.

My bta has never left his rock. Waiting to see if he's going to become a war monger. If so, I need to make a new setup. Once they become that way, they go on a rampage.

That’s a nice tank James. But I do agree on waiting to move. Moving tanks is awful IMO.

 

[James_O]

Ok, I’ve made a decision to NOT get a new tank util after I move.

I did win a Noopsyche K7 V3 light!

This should really help the tank out, and would get rid of that obnoxious black box.

NICE JAMES ! I can’t wait to see this light on your tank

Congratulations!!

NICE JAMES ! I can’t wait to see this light on your tank

I’ll finally be able to light up the corners, lol. It’ll look 50% better I guarantee you. So will the coral!

I haven’t looked at the specs of this light too closely (I think the contest wasn’t for a specific light but one to fit your specific tank, right?), but it should really improve the coloration of your corals. The black boxes and lower end LED lights will absolutely grow corals, but you really need proper spectrum blue lighting (including UV) to get the best coloration out of your corals. So I’m excited to see how much brighter and more colorful your corals will become (and it happens pretty quickly, usually within a few weeks), I think you will be pretty shocked at the difference.

Not sure if these help any? I hear it’s a good like and some what compares to the Radion?

I also believe I won the K7 V3. I’ll probably just get one though, because of how small my tank is.

Chill Mr Mushroom

(It’s going riding up on the glass and going over the edge, lol)

Some really white tips today:

 

[Goaway]

phone camera. I got a new side view of the bta and took a few shots.

This is with orphek lens 15k. I dont like it one bit. Over saturates the color and gives 0 gradient.

no lens. no filters.
Blurry because of the angle. Not the same detail as the camera. I don't like the lenses.

Congratulations on winning the light! Nice looking tank too!

I love your torch, I haven’t really seen that color. Is it green in person or kind of teal/blue? It looks very healthy. Any idea where it’s from?

I read you’re planning on upgrading tanks, that’s awesome! I upgraded my 30 gallon to a 75 after like 3 months, the reef bug can really get you!

Awesome BTA! Super cool colors. I can’t get mine to bubble, it stays all stringy.

mines a bit weird for sure. This was slightly after I turned whites off. It does that for the white lights.
This is current.

And when it approaches bed time. It takes this shape.

Thank you!!

It looks more like this in person:

(Phone camera is terrible for capturing accurate colors

Any idea where it’s from?

I actually got it from @Joe Knows Reefs in his last live sale. It is super healthy.

It really can! I’m super excited to upgrade once I move.

Not sure when the light will come in yet, especially since it’s coming all the way from China. ;Bored;Bookworm
