I just picked up some new 90 optics from Jimmy at Coral Compulsions and I'm now getting edge to edge spread. Looks like it's time for some more frags!

Thanks again Jimmy!

Hey guys! I want to add some blue LEDs or moonlights. I'm thinking some sort of low profile clip on light.

I found this but I'm not crazy about it.

Any other suggestions?

 

[BigBarnacles]

I've been looking for something small and clip on too. No luck yet. You'd thing lighting conpanies would be all over it for the nano market.

It's to bad ledtric doesn't sell there moon lights anymore.I have them there awesome.they clamp onto ur par bulb.try finding them used.

 

[erok90]

oh by the way if thats reverse space monster on the bottome left of your frogspawn/hammer coral.. move it to a rock on its own.. those suckers grow like weeds and will over run ur other zoas and palys

+1 I hate them.

 

[bennyblanco]

I know, right? I can totally picture in my head for a design that would work!

 

[bennyblanco]

Has anyone seen nice little nano fish around? Looking to add a few little fellas to the 9 gallon. Any suggestion? I have a 1 tail spot blenny that is doing great but hides all of the time. Need some movement!

a nice Clown may be ?

well if you are not in the group of clown haters

 

[bennyblanco]

I was thinking about some baby clowns to start with. I have a pair of black ice buckshots so I'm looking something a little different than they typical black and whites or orange and whites.

Brett do a helfrichi. They don't swim much but just "hover"... Awesome color too

That's a good idea too! Forgot to mention that I have an open top so I can't have any jumpers! (Clowns might not work either)

all fish jump brett... No exceptions i believe ..
Tail spot blennies are well known jumpers too

The only fish I have ever had jump was a clown and a fire fish. I'm sure all fish can jump but some are more prone to jump. I'll just make a screen for the top so it's not an issue.

Anyone know of any clips that I could use to recess a screen top so it lays flush with the top of a rimless?

A couple Tiger Gobies? Or Green Banded Goby? Reefwise had one Red Stripe Goby when I was last there and the White Cap Goby is still there. Or 2 of THESE!!! http://www.liveaquaria.com/product/prod_display.cfm?c=15+40+283&pcatid=283

Thanks for the offer but I'm pretty sure I have extra clear screen and a frame kit left over. I just want it to sit flush with the rim. I was hoping to use the plastic clips from my ecopico but the 9gallon glass is too thick.
