The tank of jt48

Maybe it's just me, but those photos are a good size for my screen (not overlarge). Maybe try resizing them before posting them on photobucket if you still think they're too big?

Escaped Ape,

Based on the time of my edited post, and your reply, the pictures you saw and currently see have been changed through photobucket. The old pics were so large that you needed to use the croll bar left and right to view the posted pics.

Took some pics, I need a tripod and a macro lens and alot of practice.

And this is a stock photo of the porcelin crab that I have. He is actually visable but has not yet come out enough to shoot.

Two of my four fish. Six Line Wrasse and Royal Gramma. I like how they are both aggressive eaters as opposed to my Firefish Goby thats seems to be finicky at times and my Yellow Clown Goby that I hardly ever see eat.

Hello, I just bought the same Sunpod light and have the same 30g Oceanic. I'm moving to the Sunpod from a Current power compact unit that had daylight and actinic on timers. I have a few questions. What is your light schedule for an entire day with the Sunpod? Should I be using extra actinic light, or can I just run the Sunpod?

Thank you

Sunpod is run 10 hours, 15 NO actinic 12 hours (1 hr before, throughout and one hour after). I do not think the actinic is necessary at all with the 14k but its only 15 wattts an druns cool. Wiithout the actinic you really miss out on the flourescence at night when sunpod is off. For example my candycane glows like headlights when the actinic only is on. You could probably equip your 2x40 pc with both actinic and have both fixtures on or just use one.

I like the way the tank has taken shape. Can you post some more full tank shots? Thanks

Here is a new tank shot, just came back from spankeys house with a bunch of frags. I need to check my spelling and update my current stock list at top of thread. At least one or two scarlet reef hermits died, the porcelin crab only made it about a week, and the yellow clown goby died. The yellow clown goby was never an aggressive eater and he lost weight. Dont know if he died and went into the overflow or got sucked in first. The blue legs, though smaller seem to do more foraging then the scarlet reef hermits. I have one Nassarus that is way too cool, amazing to watch that fast guy cross the sandbed. I initially did not want a turbo snail due to their size for such a small tank and their reputation of falling on their back and dying. However I am glad I got one turbo snail as he seems to do the work of 100 crabs. He has fallen a few times but I quickly saved him. After all, I am the long arm of the law, why not for fish tanks also. Sorry for the bad humor. The red sea pulsing xenia from Mr X is also doing very well. Now for the corny part. I would like to thank reefs.org for being here and thank spankey and Mr X for fragging. Not only have I saved so much money but have contributed to conserving our reefs.
