ADA Mini-L

[myjohnson]

What type of cleaner shrimp do you have? Some can develop a taste for corals.

Other members of the CUC?

Something could be F'n with it.

[soymilk]

i have a skunk cleaner shrimp and those 2 turbos. nothing else...

I moved a small cheap frag to the same spot the other night, since that area was open and now that one's dying haha. Bad spot?

I guess i'm watch it tonight to see what pops out the rocks just in case.

[myjohnson]

Yeah, could be something near that rock.

Check it out with a flash light (even better a black light) at night and see what's going on.

[myjohnson]

By the way, how you liking that vortech?

You think it's too much for my nano tank?

[soymilk]

i like the vortech alot for my tank, i'm not sure how it'll work for yours. Since yours is so short. You should get that new ada tank jeff just got in. I kinda wish I didn't get this tank and had gotten this...

That or the new 60p "type R" haha

But i'mma go with the elos... i need me a sump! Talked to david at city pets and asked him to see how much an elos mini would cost them to order for me. He looked at me crazy and asked me if i was sure about that. Anyone else get weird service with city pets? Sometimes they hook it up good, other times not so much.

[myjohnson]

I like the cube more then the new type R tank. Something about the rounded corners I don't like.

Also, not every one is asking for an elos.

Not to many people drop 1k on a 20g tank.

did you ask for the elite?

[soymilk]

ahh... i didn't realize the back side has rounded corners. Cheesy... Thought it was just like the reg one with the back panel frosted. I guess you're right about not too many people asking about an elos. Prob better off buying that redsea max. I just like the look of a open top aquarium so much more.

But I just asked them about just the aquarium set up without the light. I rather make my own or buy a maxspect. Gotta unload this 90p though...... any takers? At this rate I'll prob end up just using it......

but.... are you getting alot of scum on the top of your water? Its kinda gross, thinking about getting an overflow box and rigging up a mini sump.

[myjohnson]

Yeah, that redsea max is a decent deal. That light mod is worth it. Heat might be an issue.

I don't have barely any scum on the surface. I aim my k-nano towards the top and it breaks the surface up decently.

You should set up that 90p as a reef tank!

[soymilk]

i would, but i kinda hate the idea of drilling such a nice ada tank. But 90p is a bit too big IMO. I was gonna do the while iwagami setup, but after its finished...... it gets boring. Trimming is a mother.... rather have a nice small nano tank.

lol...type R...
they working with honda or something...lmao....

[soymilk]

looks like imma have to set up the 90p as a reef tank.

Are the bigger ada tanks drillable? I think i might just go with an overflow box just in case though. What you guys think?

[Darbex]

Why do you need to drill it?

[soymilk]

was gonna get a new stand and make a sump for it. But i guess you're right.... overflow box it is then. I did want you guys suggested. I put a new 14k jbj hqi light it there. Found a new one used for 25 bucks, couldn't resist.

So far my corals are not liking the new light. As of right now, i've had a huge copepod/daphnia explosion. These guys are everywhere. I dunno if its because of this, or the new light thats affecting my coral. I'll get some pics out tomorrow.

[Darbex]

Yeah thinking of getting a goby to mow down my pod explosion

[soymilk]

have you guys ever seen something like this before?
