Billies 90 2Dec11 update

haha sorry bout that, i took the pics, just forgot to upload, mybad!

 

Looking good, billie! Ya, I like the two islands look as well.

 

Thank you very much so when i bought this tank from this guy, he didnt say anything about feeding the corals, most of them are SPS but i do have a frogspawn, How/what do i feed this little guy? hes my favorite coral. and was only 6 heads when i got it and it about 8-9 now. so i dont think hes starving, but i read about spot feeding mysis or somthing like that? any advice? thank you!

 

I have had frogspawns in the past that would take food and some that would not. Just have some food touch their tentacles and it will bring the food to its mouth.

 

I have my power head (Koralia Magnum 5) on the left side on my tank, near my corner over flow, and i was watching the air bubbles move around today, and i dont think that any debris is making its way down teh over flow, insted, it gets thrown backout across the tank by the power head...

im getting a koralia magnum 6 tomrrow to add to the tank along with teh magnum 5, and im thinkin about putting them on the back wall, right beside eachother in the center, the left pointing to teh top left front, and the right pointing to the top right front.

does this make any sense? any other sugestions?

I would also like to get rid of the "micro bubbles", now i know that they dont harm anything at all, but they are very unsightly, any ideas on this?

 

Unfortunately, there is no one correct answer when it comes to the flow, rockwork, livestock, positioning, etc, are only part of the factors. Gonna have to try and see..

Do you know where the microbubbles are coming from?

 

i think they are coming from my return pump.. although its no suckin in air, and the return line is a hose, not PVC, so no bends in the return flow that could cause problems.. IDK really, i just know that they are coming out of the return from the sump.
ideas? remedeys?

 

If the water level gets really low in the return chamber/room, it might get the bubbles in the display tank, but I dont think its the case, is it?
Is the skimmer releasing the micro bubbles?

 

not that i know of, and honestly i dont know how to check, haha, ill tinker with it and see what i cant finger out.

so anyways, i saw some acan frags at my LFS, and i REALLY REALLY want them. But i dont have a sand bed, and tomorrow ill have roughly a 55x turnover in the tank, issues?

 

here an update
