Wow Quatro. Nice tank!

Can I ask you what the dimensions of it are?

---- edit ----

Nevermind. I see from your other thread that it is your ELOS 70. Very nice.

Lance M. · 01/31/2008, 03:40 PM

WOW Quatro that's a pretty sick collection. What lighting do you have?

nUgZ · 01/31/2008, 04:54 PM

Very nice collection Quatro.

liquidglass · 02/01/2008, 07:36 AM

That is a real sweet set up for sure Quatro.

Those are all older pics of stuff I don't have anymore. I'll try and find pics of the ric colonies, but it'll be tough.

Peace,

Oh no problem then.....Just wanted to see what it looked like from a little bit farther back.......No worries.

fazgood · 02/01/2008, 03:21 PM

How do you all get them to attach in such a nice grouping? I am having all sorts of problems getting them to attach to rocks or anything. I put a bunch in candle holders to brake the flow a while back and they are still not attaching.

Thanks!

Lighting is an Aquactinics 24" TX5 5 bulb T5 fixture:

BLUE PLUS
CORAL LIGHT
FIJI PURPLE

Just use super glue on the back of the ricordea, if a little rubble is attached to the ric, then it helps but isn't necessary. Then glue the ric on the rock you want, make sure you do all this while the ric and the rock are outside of the water. Let it sit on the rock for 30 seconds or so, and place it back in the tank. I glued about 20 rics to this rock using that method, and if you give the glue some time to attach to both the ric and the rock, it should stick:

Lance M. · 02/01/2008, 04:37 PM

Directly on the ric? The super glue doesn't burn the rics? And just curious how much of that did you buy and how much is it is new growth?

Quatro · 02/01/2008, 04:48 PM

All the rics on that rock were bought together. I glued them all on at the same time.

The glue didn't harm the rics, nor did having them out of water for a minute or two. I have had rics shipped completely dry to me, as in no water!, and they were fine.
