Thread: Small tank with halides or equivalent

  1. #1

    Default Small tank with halides or equivalent

    I need something small...10 gallon preferred...15-20 long tops. I need a metal halide light or something equivalent. I'm trying to save a fellow reefers SPS, frag off what I can and sell them for him. He had some good sized pieced that I squashed into my main tank last night LOL, but I have no safe place to put the frags that I cut.

    I can't afford anything, but will try to come up with some $$ if needed. Would even be open to a tank that someone doesn't need right now and wants to let me borrow it. Will need a filter also...so tank, light for SPS and filter. If you want to lend a hand, let me know.

    Thanks,
    Dee

    I have a 10 gal and filter you are welcome to use if you want. but if it is in your tank right now and your just going to frag and sell,, then why not post for sale and frag as needed until it is gone.. also, when you say your trying to SAVE it. what is wrong with it,, if your gonna try and sell pieces your going to need a good stable environment for it for a while before it is healthy enough to SELL. I don't think a small tank is going to do this for you

    Reefing is just like cooking, all the ingredients have to be just right , except you don't have to bring the water to a BOIL...

    Most of the corals are fine right now, just a little browned out. One colony is about the size of a volley ball and if I'm going to keep that and a few others in there for a while, then I'm going to have to move rock around majorly, which I really don't want to do...I had it perfect before the new additions LOL.

    The ones I need to nurse are ones that were on their way out to the point of bleaching and actually starting to die. There was a major hair algae problem, although the majority of the hair algae is just on the rocks the corals are on. One coral is a mixture of dead and alive with algae on the dead parts...my tang has already taken off 3/4's of that overnight. Plus I have a lot of little frag pieces from the tips of corals that were still alive...some need some TLC before I can sell them...just to make sure they aren't going to continue dying.

    So my goal was going to be to frag a bunch of the two larger colonies that were healthy, just needing some color, so that they weren't hogging up the top of my tank. Then I'll have room to spread things out more to allow my tang to clear off all the rocks of algae. I'll be able to see everything better this evening...the lights were off when I put it in the tank last night and weren't on by the time I left for work this morning. So I may be able to work the rocks around a little better tonight.

    I do plan on keeping them in the tank for a little while to make sure all is well, but the sooner I can move out the stuff that's healthy enough to frag, the better. And I still need a place to put the current frags that need some lovin. I've got easier stuff plopped in my fuge right now. I am probably going to put some stuff down in my sump...like a couple of rocks with shrooms on them....hopefully that light is strong enough for those items.

    I dunno...other suggestions are welcome. I may just be jumping ahead too fast...guess I'll see this evening. I'm excited to go home and see what it all looks like in my tank.
