My Semi-annual upgrade

[iani]

Tony this is my bulb combo now.

3 ati blue plus
2 super actinic
3 11k aquablue special
1 ati procolor
1 fiji purple

 

[Gomer]

is the big color shift from the fiji and lack of ghe 3000K's? Not sure what I prefer yet, but both are pretty cool.

 

[iani]

You know I am not sure. I think it is a combination of everything. I did change a lot of bulbs.

 

[LeviT]

I thought you were kidding about using 10 bulbs, you are sick How is that purple tang looking in your tank? (assuming it was for your tank?)

 

[Elite]

That tank is 30"W.. I don't think 10 bulbs are enough ;D

 

[iani]

LOL, of course I wasn't kidding about the 10 bulbs. I think I could of done 12 lol. That was for Phong.

Purple looks good. Healthy and eating both mysis and pellets. Its getting punked a bit by the yellow but is holding its own for sure. The yellow will do it for a couple days then get bored, it happened when I put in my rabbit fish as well.

I think he's saying Rabbitfish is not Tang.. Your Yellow Tang stopped picking on the Rabbitfish but that doesn't it will stop picking on your purple, because it's another Tang.. ;D

 

[iani]

But its already starting to get bored with the purple, haha. Problem was when I added the rabbitfish it was a lot smaller than the tang. The purple is about the same size as the yellow.

 

[Elite]

Maybe it wants to take a break and gets ready for the next round LOL ;D..

 

[iani]

Haha, it hasn't been the same yet as how the yellow treated the rabbitfish. The yellow would constantly tail whip the rabbitfish when I first put the rabbitfish in. The yellow has yet to do that to the purple. Its more just swimming really close to the purple to show who is boss.

 

[iani]

Good news on the tangs. The yellow tang could care less about the purple tang already.

Ian, Dude congratulation on the new set up.. The stand is Sick!!cant believe you built that your self. The tank's low profile looks awesome.. specially with the lighting. Cant wait to see it in person. I'll hit you up one of these days.. maybe Lap, Jesus and I will stop by and admire you new set up.

 

[iani]

Thanks Ed. Only problem right now I am having is micro bubbles when I feed. The skimmer puts out a bit of bubbles when I feed fatty frozen food. Going to make a little box with baffles to drop down into the sump to put my pump in.

 

[Gomer]

Where did you end up building your stand Ian? It is definitely sweet!!

 

[iani]

Built it with the help of 2 friends @ one of my friends place (Boun's). I wrote out my cut sheet and had Ashby lumber make my cuts exact to my cut sheet.
