Nightster's 29g build

It's coming along very nicely,congrat on the new equip and livestock.Looks great.

 

my opinion nighster, and you will be the best judge of this

is
the frogspawn is fine IMO in terms of position from lighting
the one thing from looking at the image that does cross my mind is that Korallia
on the left hand side is pointing slightly down and is angled forward
depending on what size K wavemaker it is, the force may hit the far tank wall and be bouncing back directly at the frogspawn

this may just be an image perception of mine
but if you see the frogspawn failing to open as much as it used to
or when it does open you see the coral looking like its being pushed sideways with all the extended polyps being pushed towards the left
you may want to reposition either the wavemake or the coral to ensure it gently ripples
rather than gets buffeted continually

but as stated, you will be best judge, pictures can be misleading on occasions as they are 2D and not 3D

Huge difference in lighting

You are going to be able to keep some nice corals.

 

I noticed this as well steve, I have since made an adjustment. The power head on the left side has since been pointed at the top of my rock structure. This creates turbulant flow off the rock. The frogspawn now has a soft flowing motion to the "tentacles" (idk what they are called).

 

Thanks grinder. I know corailline I'm excited, I can't wait till I know enough about dosing to keep sps...

 

Well here are the pictures.

 

This morning I walked by my tank when all of the lights were still out and noticed the candy cane feeder tentacles. Man those things are awesome looking. It had pretty good extension too, I'd say roughly 3 inches worth. I wonder how much longer they can get?

 

Very nice additions!

Man you gotta a lot of snails or hermit crabs or both

Is the 6 line new?

Everything lools great nice and healthy, it's is rewarding to see.

 

Yes ma'am the six line is new, got it yesterday. John went a lil crazy with my order lol. Idk how many snails I got. I do know that when I ordered my cuc I also ordered one for my stepfathers 55g, I had twice as many hermits as his order did. I have 2 big hermits and probably 4 smaller ones with who knows how many snails. Id say between the cuc and my tunze skimmer my tank should be spotless lol. Oh side note, I was trying to adjust my candy cane a bit and my female oc clown nipped at my hand! Figured id let you know yours isn't the only with an additude lol.

 

Well I'm going to try something, having 2 750gph powerheads on alternating timers in a 29g tank makes it difficult to find low flow areas. So I'm going to try and just run one to see what happens. I'm doing this because I thought I had found a good spot for my frogspawn, last night I noticed it had too much flow. So I'm gonna try this for a week and so how it effects my tank.
