Folks, if you've recently upgraded or renewed your annual club membership but it's still not active, please reach out to the BOD or a moderator. The PayPal system has a slight bug which it doesn't allow it to activate the account on it's own.
those area should have at lease some room for a big Mag-Float to slide through,
and are for very softy corals only - like mushroom, ZOA, GSP, POMPOM, RBTA...etc.
you can try the "macro rocks" - i heard a lots of members that got it, all said a lots of good thing about it.
like sinkingbeach said, you may want to try 48" lights...
the problem is - it is not easy to find alots of "thin" rocks...
you may have to end up with a lots of smaller rocks, and some how, *stick* them all together, and made them have the natural look and feel.
let me know if you need any help for your setup/planning, i am pretty much free for all...
well, you have last for this wrong, it probably won't hurt to wait couple more weeks...
you can bring your Refractometer to the up coming meeting, i am sure we can help to figure out how to set it right.
;)
Yes, RichT, i hear you loud and clear... (upgrade, upgrade...!!)
;)
if i have to re-do it again, i may do something like this for the rock formation - to gain more realestate.
the blue line are the top edge.
Powder,
sorry to steal your thread, i am done now.
:)
so, if you just calibrate it with RO water, was it at ZERO?
if it is also off, you then know for sure the Refractometer was off, and need adjustment.
if is is right on, then you will need to do more test & research - to know which one should you trust:
- the RO ???
- the pinpoint solution...
i end up with very little corals on the side, and most of them are mounted on top, and they are touching each other like crazy, need constant trimming...
:(
good luck on your setup...
:)
bewarn what are you wishing for - it actually end up with less realestate...
i have it setup like that, BUT, since one side can not touch the glass, so, now i end up with a high slope on both side, which *lack* SPACE for corals grow (compared to tanks with rock leaning on one side)...
see my...
i gave up on the removing them... they always manage to move to the places that I don't want them to go!
last week, i starting to build a wall to block them to touching other corals - while they are retracted at night, i used the proxy-clue and stick some thin rocks to block their way to...
Dom,
i "think" his tank is 29" height, 24" width.
