Mikejrice 30g *Finished*

I finally set up a DIY ATO on my system today. I lose about 1 gallon per/day, so I set up a 2.5 gallon bucket in the stand with a regulated airline siphoning water into the sump. After a few days of tweaking the flow rate I should have more stable water.

I also took the Coralife 125 off the system so I can run just the little cheapy for a little while. I never really got to see what it can do without a much bigger skimmer running next to it. Curiosity got the best of me.

This is the skimmer I'm running right now:

$30!!! If it works I'll post some more info. This could be a good option for nano reefers on the cheap if it works.

I promise I'll get the promised pictures of the flasher wrasse up later today.

 

Here's the pictures I've been meaning to get up of the flasher wrasse.

 

Here's some random pictures I took while I had the camera out.

 

great pics mike. nicely done, great colors too. im a huge fan of the flashers myself. but so tough to get them flashing. so could you please sit there for the next few hours and capture that? what species is yours? ive got a "mutt" , looks like a combo mcoskers and carpenters i believe. thnx for sharing

It is near impossible to get them flashing. Mine was begging for food the whole time I was taking pictures, so I had no chance.

It was sold as a Mccosker's, but who really knows.

 

My latest coral addition:

Bright green three head duncan.

 

Wow those are nice!

 

Great pictures as usual Mike! +k for them.

Whats your secret on keeping your duncan heads green, mine fade into a reddish brown with all lights on, but with act's they are an amazing green and purple!?!

 

No kidding, they have awesome color.

Thank you.

I run a 20k halide and a 50/50 PC bulb that throws most of it's light on the fuge behind the tank.
