MattyJatz's 37G Eclipse SW Diary

[mattyjatz]

I'll post a pic very soon!
Two emeralds is too much you think?

 

[nissan577]

yea i think so. ask my mom.

 

[meowzer]

IDK about the emeralds...it's fairly new...do you have a lot of algae growth yet?....

 

[mattyjatz]

Quite a bit was on my LR when I bought it. They have seemed to clean up a lot and still look to stay busy...we'll see!

 

[meowzer]

Just watch them....I think they will also eat other stuff...I have one in my 29g, and when I feed mysis in the morning it eats that too....

 

[mattyjatz]

I just bought some frozen mysis and some pellets. Is this a good thing?

 

[nissan577]

yea! you could feed that to your coral!

 

[meowzer]

Mysis yes...pellets eh......what kind of pellets...I have 2 types, and I use a pinch maybe 1x a week...as a snack

 

[mattyjatz]

LFS recommended the pellets. They are the Spectrum Thera +A by New Life. Just feed them the mysis then?

 

[meowzer]

NOOO..LOL...I have them too...they are actually good for the fish, but in moderation...I feed flakes and pellets 1x a week....but a pinch....

Pics of my new Nemos! One is already scoping out the back of the tank. He's a little braver than the other guy!
You can see the new HOB filter I installed. It looks so much better than now that I removed the original Eclipse hood and filter system.

 

[mattyjatz]

Couple more!

 

[nissan577]

really nice bro! one thing to do that will help is cut the middle plastic thing. and place the MH in the middle

and sweet filter!

 

[nissan577]

since you live in florida maybe you or i do a trip and trade corals!

 

[mattyjatz]

The only thing I'm noticing is the area my light is penetrating. I have a problem with this tank because I cannot put the light in the center of the tank because there is a black plastic bar type thing that is connected to the tank. Is there a reason for this piece of plastic or could I saw it off so I can put my light in the center? Here's a pic:

 

[meowzer]

Clowns look happy...lol...OK...About the light...it seems like it is lighting one side more than the other...and you can not center it cause of the center brace....anyway you can modify the light clamp. so it can fit OVER the center brace????

Lmao, funny you said that as I was in the middle of typing a message about that! It doesn't do anything important as far as keeping the glass balanced, if that makes sense?
Or like relieves pressure off the glass or anything?

 

[meowzer]

IDK if I would cut the center brace....Maybe you can get away with it on a 37g...but I'd be nervouse of bowing....Why can't he mod the light to fit over the brace????
