I like the Dec15th one... both are good though.

Lance 12-15-2008 03:10 AM

Either/Or. They both look great.

Chaloupa 12-15-2008 04:41 AM

I have to agree with everyone...they both look fantastic!!!!

noirsphynx 12-16-2008 03:27 AM

Thanks guys. My daughter prefers the Dec. 15th too. My husbands home tomorrow and I'll see what he thinks but I'm still not sure about it. Maybe if the mushrooms would start growing I'd like it more :rolleyes:

sphelps 12-16-2008 03:54 AM

Dec 15th for sure. Looks more stable to.

Looking good BTW!

noirsphynx 12-16-2008 04:11 AM

Hubby had a peek from work and prefers the recent shot too. I guess it stays that way. I need to stop fussing with it anyhow and give things a chance to settle or they'll never grow.

I also just noticed the over hang looks like a face with a wide open mouth :lol:

I updated my budget and had to remove a few things that weren't attched to re-coup a bit of my budget to make room for something..................I'm so excited to announce that my treasured little fish addition that I've been waiting & hoping for was finally found :multi: One of the LFS got 2 in for me(sadly I can only house one so had to leave the other guy there) so I went and picked one up today. What a little cutie. Besides being venomous(which I knew) they also apparently have a nasty little bite :evil: I'll have to watch where I put my hands when cleaning :eek:

JDigital 01-04-2009 11:52 PM

^^^ Sounds exciting!! Give us a hint?

Oops, should have re-stated what I was after from the first page :redface:. It's a Gumdrop Goby. Here he is, not a great pic though because he's still acclimating in the bag.

So, no new pic today :sad: My husband took my camera to NFLD with him and won't be back until Monday so I'm just going to re-submit last months and I'll replace it once he returns home.

karazy 01-15-2009 09:55 PM

I don't have them on permanently yet but will soon. I'll try to get pics of when they're the only lights turned on too. I think I'm adding 2 to the tank.

karazy 01-17-2009 03:28 AM

Thanks!

It's running now. The pic with the moonlights (above) are them. I ended up using two of the 12cm ones, the third one flickers on and off. I ended up just glueing them to my light fixture (see pic below). If I can fix the other I might add it to the center in the front of my fixture.

karazy 01-20-2009 03:32 AM

nice!!

the flickering is probably just cuz the adapter isnt high enough power. but they look nice and bright!
do you think they are bright for what they are (like how small and cheep they are)

No, the flickering is definitely a loose connection but not sure if I can fix it or not without ripping them apart and ruining them.
They're definitely very bright little lights especially for thier price. I'd like to get a purple or a red one to throw on and see what it looks like mixed with the blue.

Lance 01-20-2009 04:05 AM

Looking good! Nice Rics

noirsphynx 02-16-2009 04:07 AM

Not too much change but fts posted on 1st page.

Chaloupa 02-16-2009 04:33 AM

WOW, it's progressing really really well!! Looks awesome!

noirsphynx 02-23-2009 03:07 PM

It's pretty slow in between fts updates so thought I'd add a pic or two of a little inhabitant that I've had for a bit now. He's a cute little anenome shrimp that hosts on either my purple mushroom or my red mushroom.

LOVE the shrimp! Saw one at the LFS the other day and considered getting it. Good to see it doing something...! Very cool!

He's very cool. He sits out front(which is more than I can say for my goby that I was sure was dead until today) at all times and it's neat to see him eat his food and watch it go inside him. I'll get another if I ever come across more.

There's no rules saying you can't post pics between months.. haha. Sweet shrimp, almost looks like a sexy shrimp.

rocketlily 02-23-2009 05:42 PM

Nice pictures, love the colors of the mushrooms.

noirsphynx 03-16-2009 02:46 AM

FTS for March 15/09, I hate to post this pic. Everything is pi**ed at me for doing a water change. Nothing is happy with me & that'll teach me to do a wc on fts day.
http://canreef.com/vbulletin/picture...&pictureid=798

rocketlily 03-16-2009 02:51 AM

It's looking very colorful. Looks like you're getting good growth. Nice.

noirsphynx 03-16-2009 02:56 AM

Yeah, it's pretty colorful and the mushrooms are growing well and so are the orange palys. I have 3 purple, 3 blue, 3 red, 3 orange & 2 green and I had started off with only one small of each. The orange Paly's seem to grow a new head about every 2-4 weeks.

Haha, I know what you mean I did the same one month, it's crazy how sensitive these little tanks are. Never the less the tank looks awesome, black sand is still clean!

JDigital 03-20-2009 12:03 AM

pm re: budget as well. :)

noirsphynx 04-16-2009 03:52 AM

Here's my final pics. I enjoyed this contest very much and love looking back at the progress. I must say I enjoy this little tank and even my husband is jealous of it because it's so colorful compared to his 90g, lol. I'm very glad I kept it simple and will most likely continue to add more zoa's, mushroom's & tiny inverts.

A small shrimp that's so neat to watch. He floats around the tank like a feather.
