Very nice photos guys...JasonD, In your full tank shot, the fish to the top left confised me because it looks just like a freshwater mollie! :shock:

 

[MarineTeng]

tatu, i really like the set up, looks like you got some good growth going there, lots of large acros, i like it

 

[wentreefgirl]

Krish, I was thinking the same thing. But until the response, mollies can be acclimated to salt. Within a few hours I hear.

 

[MarineTeng]

lol, i kinda want to try it...

 

[wentreefgirl]

Let me know how it goes. Acutally mollies are not only freshwater fish but considered brackish also so who know, they say it works.

Yes, they are fresh water/brackish mollies. I was having some hair algae problem during my tank swap. I did some reading on mollies in reef tanks. Turns out that are an excellent algae eater. It has been two months and they are doing excellent. They are still cleaning algae off the glass and pumps. They don't seem to go near the corals though.

To acclimate them, put them on a saltwater drip in a 5 gallon bucket. Over a couple of hours, turn the freshwater to saltwater. Then they are ready to be reef fish. I purchased the pair out of a brackish tank, so the adjustment to saltwater would not be so severe. They are active live breeders. The fry can be raised in saltwater, as long as they are not eaten by corals and fish.

That's really cool Jason! Soon you will have everyone going crazy for mollies

how do u add a pic

Here's what I use. If you've never used it before just go to the website, use the browse tab to find your photo file, select the size you want the picture to be (I use 15 inch monitor) and upload your photo. Once it has uploaded, just copy the link and paste it here (I use the Hotlinks to forums 1 for my link). Really quite simple

Forget posting pics of my 120 gallon tank stuffed with zoanthids.

Here is another pic of my $3 mollies. :lol:

ROFL! You need to post that picture on the, "Let's talk about algae" thread and show them the new way to control it

My 212 gallon tank:

tatuvaaj,

Did you trim the nozzel of your streams back? If so, for what reason? They look chopped.

 

[Krish]

You have really good eye man! It does look trimmed! I would think that would make the stream a bit wider...Is that the case?


Since I'm here, here's a few shots of my new 38gal cube (FOWLR for now )

tatuvaaj,

Hey, you have good eyes! Yes, they are trimmed. I thought it might give a wider flow and also make them look a bit smaller (my corals are still too small to hide the pumps). I can't really say how much wider (if any) the flow got...
