FuEl Posted March 23, 2010 Author Share Posted March 23, 2010 impressive. any good growth spotted? There is growth tips on the Ponape birdnest. I suppose I could get better growth if my parameters had been more stable. Dosing manually is tricky too.

FuEl Posted March 23, 2010 Author Share Posted March 23, 2010 oh so sad to hear bout ur dart goby i suggest u should put a dart board inside so they dart themself agaist the board than jumping out of the tank ha ha jorking so wat temp u kept for ur this tank sps Yes I should give up the dart gobies, not fun seeing a few $2-$3 fish missing everytime. Now the tank is between 26-28 degrees depending on my ambient room temperature. My livestocks now include: 1 x Leander plumosus shrimp. 3 x Dicordipinna griessingeri gobies 3 x eviota gobies 1 x Blue stripe pipefish 1 x tail-spot blenny 1 x blue legged hermit 1 x hawaiin halloween hermit 2 x tuxedo urchins 30+ mini "abalones". Started off with 4 but they bred in the tank. I suppose the spawnings feed the SPS and gorgonian as well.

SRC Member peacemaker Posted March 23, 2010 SRC Member Share Posted March 23, 2010 Sad to hear about the dart gobies... I used to keep neon tetras, and often found them out of the tank on some days. My dad ever witnessed a lizard going real close to the tank when the lights were switched on in the middle of the night, so we suspected they were the culprits. What are your opinions on the PAR38 so far? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are your opinions on the PAR38 so far? They have worked very well. The spread is a little narrow as I am using 40 degree optics. 60 degree optics should have been a better choice.

FuEl Posted March 23, 2010 Author Share Posted March 23, 2010 So bro, can 1 spotlight cover 1ft x 1ft area? Depends on the optics and the height you place the spotlight.
