That is freaking cool! Those lights look SO Zen.... Glad you like em!

saltwaterseahorses 05-16-2010 05:00 AM

thats just beautiful! I love it! and why isnt that frogfish eating corals? or does it just eat fish?

jimbo222 05-16-2010 05:02 AM

wow..,

OceanicCorals-Eugene- 05-16-2010 05:56 AM

I should stop looking...the more i look at the tanks with these ICE CooL.E.Ds the more i want to switch my 30g lighting into it....STOP TEMPTING ME!!

How are you liking the dual colored shimmer lines:lol: That was the weirdest part of the LEDs for me when i first used one. Still cant get over how the refraction of light from surface movement actually breaks the colors back into its own spectrum.

LeeR 05-16-2010 06:18 AM

welll maybe its time for a change:lol:


i really like the multi color shimmers its pretty cool looking.. its sorta hard to process if you stair at it alot... almost like my eyes brain are messing up.... if that makes sence

got some pictures of it

Ya maybe it is!

The multi color shimmer is probably the hardest thing to get used to at first but it grows on you quite fast i find. Hows the coverage with the 60 degree optics for you? do you still find it too concentrated? and how well is the tank light with the use of 3 of them?

LeeR 05-16-2010 06:53 AM

last 2 pics are just the 20k.

i think it would be covers really will if i switched the 20k to 80degree

the front right corner doesnt get much light neither does the back right on the left of the over flow.

the little desk lamps i have arnt strong enough to keep the lights pointing straight down on the tank.

i need to find a cheap source for desk lamps like this
http://www.desklamp.org.uk/images/desk-lamp.jpg

i was thinking i would just drill and tap some holes into my wall brackets then use a die to thread the peg at the base of the lamp.

but theses are sort big ugly and awkward looking.... so i will have to do more searching

Sunee 07-12-2010 02:57 PM

Wonderful tank.

In the last set of pictures what is in the third one (green)? Thanks.

Zoaelite 07-12-2010 03:58 PM

Great idea with the frag plugs and the ric's, I can't wait to see them grown in (Which I'm sure will be nice and fast). That multi color shimmer is amazing, props to OC for bringing in another fantastic product!

Delphinus 07-12-2010 05:12 PM

I love how I keep coming back to read this thread to see clams and there aren't actually any in there. :lol: But it's a great tank, love the look of it.

frogspawn


ahh ya all my clams died in the last few weeks. one i had for just about 4 years.. i still cant figure out what happend to them

Delphinus 07-12-2010 05:56 PM

Ohhh... darn it. Man I am sorry to hear that. :(

LeeR 07-12-2010 11:54 PM

haha ya it sucks.. but i dont have to worry about them anymore..

can a threads name be changed?

Greenmaster 07-15-2010 05:38 AM

Is it possible they died because of not enough light?

LeeR 07-15-2010 12:34 PM

maybe but they didnt show signs of lack of light.

BlueTang<3 07-15-2010 12:42 PM

Yes first post click edit click then bottom right hit go advanced and u can edit the title there. Great tank. Is it possible the clams were attacked form pyramid snails, or pinched mantle. I don't under stand where the snails come from but my old sand bed i had to remove the clams every few days and scrub the snails off, they totally stress out the clam and eventually go for the insides.

LeeR 07-16-2010 01:30 AM

thanks,

i checked every now and then for snails and never saw any.

actually right in the list of threads...if you double click right next to your thread title you can edit the title without even going into the thread. This of course only works for your own threads.

lastlight 07-16-2010 01:46 AM

Wow you keep the glass and top edge of the glass clean! Tank's looking great. While it's not really a natural look... over time the tile bottom has grown on me and definitely looks interesting. With a small tank I think it'd be really cool to slice a large sandy-looking floor tile to size.

LeeR 07-16-2010 02:37 AM

that would be pretty cool to do. you would have to find some sort of ocean sand stone. i wonder how the tile like i have would look with sand on top.

reefmaster12345 07-16-2010 03:27 AM

:lol::lol:hi what kind of silicon can you use i am doing a 65 gallon with a sump and i need to no what kind of silicon it will help me alot
thanks so much my email is jacob.pfeiffer@hotmail.com thanks guys

Slick Fork 07-16-2010 04:31 AM

I am really curious about the LED lamps, You've had them for 2 months how are you finding the coral health compared to the halide you had on there?

+1
as I plan on doing LED lighting on mine... not plan... I am doing LED lighting and I want to know that it was a good choice :D

LeeR 07-16-2010 12:37 PM

the death of my clams... i cant really tie that to the change of light.
the only change i have noticed is my low light corals have colored up a bit not because of lower light but because i can change were i want more light and less.

Wow is that frogspawn ever gorgeous. Looks far nicer than mine the green is awesome. Tank looks great what's with that little box in there?

LeeR 11-26-2010 01:39 AM

haha thats the for sale mini nem box. its alot easyer to remove them from smooth plastic then it is from rock. i know its super ugly but it will have to do for now.

Madreefer 11-26-2010 01:47 AM

Thats so cool. Are those tiles for fragging or? And how do you like the LED's?

LeeR 11-26-2010 01:57 AM

fragging and just something different. and the leds are nice alot less heat but on par with my old 150W mh.

chris88 11-26-2010 03:55 AM

Why did you put sand over the tile? That was my favourite part about this tank.
