JimmyR1riders 65G Tank Thread

[rookie07]

I would suggest placing the 2 vortechs on different sides of the tank. NOt left and right, but any two side you want, as to create a completely diff flow pattern all the time. Good luck, LOOKS GREAT!

Thanks rookie am just keepin it there for now- had a problem with the wet side of the mp20 am waiting for the new one to come from ecotech- then will probably put the 10 on the back wall and the 20 on the wall that its on....Thanks again for the kind words!

Looking good!!! Have you had any trouble with diatom/nuisance algae?

 

[JimmyR1rider]

Thanks for the compliment, cant wait to see where the anemone decides to settle(hopefully not on the back of the rocks) lol.


Some yeah diatom. Have just been doing heavy water changes and am gonna do a couple of more this week picked up another batch of ESV salt so am good to go for another 200 gallons. Havent had bad diatoms just a small breakout and am getting the green algae cover on all my rocks, but not hair algae so am doin ok. Also having coralline growing in little spots all over the glass and the overflow box, so I'm pretty happy how the tanks been goin. Think the diatom bloom happened though because of my halides had WAY too strong of lighting 2 400W IceCaps but got my new 250's today.

Well figured Id put a new FTS and a pic on where the anemone settled since put in last night Tonight was the first night with my 250W Halides that I swapped out my 400's for. Also seems the pagoda cup is doing well, more to come:

The anemone is between the front and rear rocks on top of the mound on the right side- had to get this shot of him from above in front looking back and down.
