The mineral mud is debateable Flyguy.. I say no. Others may say yes.

[flyguy7150]

Inside the cabinet pic, tidied things up, built a table/shelf, need to put a top.


laratadesierto - sorry i have been really busy with midterms and so, and my autocad got messed up so i havent been able to draw them up, the plans.

[phannay]

do you need to cure the new live rock you're planning on getting? or are you just going to stick them in?

looks great!!

[laratadesierto]

Thats cool Flyguy....sounds like you are busy...no rush

[nanoreefbro]

Looks great flyguy.. Where did you get the transformers for the fans?

[flyguy7150]

Have a lot of junk electronics around the house, so found some transformers for them, each 12v 300mA.

Got my first acro today!!! It's a green slimer

Put him in an hour ago and is already opening up
Also picked up 13lbs more of rock today, its curing right now, found a flatworm though... Any help with this, the rock is not in the main tank yet. Flatworm exit maybe?? Idunno if there is anymore yet.

[flyguy7150]

Well after looking at melevs id page, it turned out to be the white clear benign one that melev says is reef safe... http://www.melevsreef.com/id/flatworm.html

Do you guys think its safe to put these new rocks I have in the DT??? Or should i use something like flatworm exit?? A little help

[JetCat USA]

personally i try to keep all of them out of my tanks, I'd flatworm exit/interceptor it to rid them from it.

[flyguy7150]

Some growth pics... This was a free birdsnest i got

and what it looks like now...

Its not a long piece anymore cause i broke it during the transfer, so i just epoxied them to a rock. It is bleached in the back, because that piece was in the sand, and didnt see it till a day later. Most of the growth was done under 192w of pcs in the 46g.

As for the rocks, i ended up doing freshwater dips to shake some off. Haven't seen anymore so far...

[flyguy7150]

Couple of rocks added...

[illal]

nice thread just looked it over i really like the stand/canopy design

[easye123]

[flyguy7150]

branch dropping is a form of self propagation.

[flyguy7150]

O ok thats cool, should i collect all the branches and put em on a piece of live rock? or just let them find a place where ever.

Garrettm, i don't have the octo yet, but i am actually looking to get the nw 200. I let you know how it is when i do though.

[JetCat USA]

either/or it's up to you if you want them in a particular location or just anywhere

[flyguy7150]

k probably will let them go wherever
