Blu's Cube

Above is a pic from July 11'

Here are some pics of the aquascape and me playing around with the light. I know I need to clean the glass, but I'm just glad the tank is up and cycling, so I'll get to that later

I think I will do some zoos, a few lps and I think I'm going to try some sps. I know I have been talking to you about the Slimline (still may go that route with the other tank), but I got such a great deal on these from Dave when his tank crashed, I couldn't pass it up.

That's good that there is still support for these, I know Dave told me I could still find parts. It should be interesting to see how things grow, but I know he had really nice growth when he had these on his 60 cube.

I like the bracket for the light, looks cool keep up the nice work!

That's coming along nicely. I like the rockwork. That shallow reef look is so cool. It'll be nice once you get some corals and fish swimming around in there. Can't wait to see it progress. Keep up the good work!

I have been testing the water here as of late and it looks pretty good.

I have not tested Calcium or Phosphates

Salinity 1.025 (refractometer)
PH 8.2
Amonia 0
Nitrite 0
Nitrate 10
Alk 7

So I added a test frag today and it's open and happy after about 45mins in.

Looks great so far Troy.... the frag still doing good and happy in there/ any new additions

[bluwc]

Yup Chris, it's still doing great. Added a few more things but I think I need a better lense as the pics are a little blurry and it really doesn't show the color off. We have three cameras; a Rebel XT, Canon 20D and a Canon 50D. I think I'll be looking into a Macro lense soon.

Was told it's a bubblegum chalice

A very blurry pic of a very small frag of acans

cap


And the original test frag

[Chris]

Ive been told pics under LEDs are really hard to get without editing, especially white balance Sure the macro lense wouldnt hurt tho especially for the closer shots and with blurriness.

I been lookin into a better camera, probably gonna just go with a Nikon L120

[Nano-Newb1983]

loving the tank man.. i need to see in person sometime lol

[bluwc]

Added some more coral to the tank and here some better pics of some that had already been added. It will be a long slow process.....but at least it's not sitting there empty.



I just like this chalice
