So- Whats new with your tank today??

[Sir Patrick]

I will start this off-

I re-aquascaped (finally)
Added a psuedo chromis and occy. clown.
Replaced the cpr bac-pac skimmer w/ an aqua-c remora HOB skimmer.

Started cooking 100 lbs+ of live rock in the basment.

Whats new in everyone elses tank??

[speedstar]

more dead coral :mad:

[jimsflies]

I have a serious bryopsis problem...which is effecting corals now.:mad: Spending too much time on the site and not enough time with tank!

Hope someone has something good happening instead of the first two replies to your topic...

[ReeferRob]

I made a new stand for the larger frag tank coming Sunday!!
Expecting another order from Florida tomorrow and bulbs 3 and 4.
Hoping to re wire lights by Sunday and then the frag tank transfer.
Tonight I mesh moded a an impeller for my POS skimmer on the DT and an acrylic cover for my overflow......Poor Pylei
Tomorrow, Im going to get my Wellso and a few other goodies from Tomasz and stopping by Kees for a clam or two!

[MizTanks]

My Kedds Reds are aaaaaaaaaalive!!!! Yup, after over a week of being closed. They lookin sooooo purdy! My Green Implosions are going crazy, walking all over the place, new polyps galore! I have another zoa (not yet identified) that has also walked off it's plug onto the LR. I caught my Tangaroa goby grabbing an amphipod fer dinner and lil Miz PJ Cardinal, well just says she aint starving.
So all is wonderfully well with my tank. I also have bryopsis but started dosing with Magnesium, see how that goes.

[Sir Patrick]

Looks like a mix of good and bad.

Looking forward to hearing what else is new in everyones tank.

[Viva'sReef]

I finally put up my 60g frag tank over the weekend, its about 3/4 full of water and should be full by tonight. I plan to finish plumbing the drain to the sump, and finishing the return tonight as well(hopefully). Then once things settle for a few days, I plan to move my chalice collection and all smaller frags to the frag tank to clear up some space it the DT.

This weekend I plan on taking 80% of the live rock in my DT and start the "cooking" process. Its over-run with aptasia, and some type of culerpa sp? thats pretty invasive and grows way too fast for me. Not even sure how it got in there.

[spookey]

the same when i got it lol......working is killing my time to start it:(

[lionhead]

I have not done anything new with my 90gal display lately. Still procratinating on building my new stand so I can put my new sump/refugium under it. I can not decide if I should do a 2 x 4 construction and then skirt it out or to use 3/4inch hard wood plywood. I did however fix the spiderweb of RO lines running in my basement, crame more frags in my frag tank to the point of it being full, and add a royal gamma to it. My frag tank is kinda a nano/frag tank.

[schminksbro]

Hey Shawn, if you have never added a frag tank to an exsisting system I thought I would point out that you probably will get an algae bloom. I know it doesn't make sense from a science point of view afterall you are just adding volume to an already cycled system but I have seen it happen several times. You shouldn't notice any problems in your display just in the frag tank itself. I would take your time moving your corals in there until you are sure everything has shaken out.:confused:

As far as my tank? I have a few new growth tips but other than that I am just watching it grow out.:) I have made no significant changes in quite a while.

Ha, new that was coming. Go find your shades bro, your going to need them. Check my thread later tonight. I gotta go get the kid from school, hit the grocery store, make dinner yadadada then its on like Donkey Kong.!

[Sir Patrick]

Picked up some new zoas today- $26 for all 3 peices

These arent all opened yet. There are a few polyps of fire and ice on there as well-

These I thought were cool. The ring is actually light blue, but pic came out greenish....-

And last but no least, got these kedds reds, on the right-


http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d87/sirpatrick1/new%20cam%20fish/Picture011-4.jpg

I am pretty happy with the group!

[Sir Patrick]

So whats new in your guyz tanks from the weekend??? Ready to hear some stories and see some pics!

[softiegirl]

I added a teeny tiny red scooter blenny, a pom pom crab and a green clown goby to my 29 biocube! thanks Shelly/Seashells! Trying to keep it simple. Seahorses, a pipe fish, various crabs, a watchman goby and pistol shrimp. Its fun to see everyone hard at work!

[MizTanks]

Aside from making room for my new corals by selling some frags to my LFS, making 45.00$ in credit, and having the new corals come in nasty and getting no better, not sure what to do with them. My tank is doing great! At least my Kenya Tree thinks so, an she's my indicator. Ordered a couple of Star snails for those tighter spots. Really want to get another goby or blenny. But I'm already maxed with the PJ Cardinal and Tangaroa goby. The PJ I got to clean up the amphipod population explosion. I would love to have a fish that's active, and visible. Not distructive and get's along with others. Any ideas out there?
What the heck is it with always wanting more in this hobby? It's frustrating as all heck! I want a bigger tank, but can't afford a bigger tank and the little tank is reminding me of it. :duh::blackeye:

[DFD189]

After 72 hours of no lights, NO DINOFLAGELLATES! So I guess thats new...LOL!

[schminksbro]

Went to see a friend yeaterday and came home with a Pink Lemonade, 20k Leagues Lokani, ORA Blue Polyp Acro, an Awsome Mille (Rommel's Rainbow?), and an unknown stag. In my book that is a pretty awsome frag pack!

[Captain]

Today my tusk finally ate a pellet, i have had him for a week or so. I did a waterchange and cleaned the skimmer. Cant complain, just bored.

[thefishgirl]

I can tell you what's not new... no new baby banggais. Papa was eating today, so I'll have to wait to see what happens with the next batch.

Did water changes today on all 3 tanks. So new water is new today! :)

[Fishgeek88]

Whats new hmm...since the weather has gotten a little colder and nastier out, Ive spent some more time on the tanks. Just picked up a huge Naso Tang a few days ago for the FO he/she is doing great

[Sir Patrick]

The good-

Did a water change
Got a new zoa frag

The bad-

Powerhead fell, and blew all my sps frags all over the place
dropped a t5ho light into the tank, ruining the fixture
My HOB aqua c remora skimmer isnt bubbling like it should....

[MizTanks]

The bad bad algae~The Favia's doing good so far~new frag of Tubbs Blue totally melted away again same seller~watermellon zoa's are finally opening up~still haven't caught the bad crab, but I see it often~my porcelain crab molted first time since I've had her~Yellow nose prawn goby and pistol shrimp are doing wonderful~bought a couple of black turbo snails and a Trochus Snail who have totally cleaned the back wall of my tank so it's looking new~I got a new piece of LR from an established tank at the LFS, has some nice coraline, some clear long worm looking thingys, a few feather duster looking thingys and what looks like a little carpet of tiny tiny polyps~I got the rock to glue some of my zoa's to it. I think that's about it for today!

[whitetiger61]

my bam bams have 3 new polyps starting..my purple deaths have 3 new polyps going..maybe 4 not sure yet..my green ricordia developed another mouth sometime within the last couple of days..only thing not thriving is my blue tubbs..

Rick

[Fishgeek88]

Just picked up a 9" Male Bluethroat Trigger from Mike over on Reefers...this thing is a beast!

[Sir Patrick]

^ pics would be sweet!

[Fishgeek88]

Im flying out the door to work ill post some tonight or tomorrow

[MizTanks]

I have no patients! I wanna see pic's now!!!

[Sir Patrick]

I replaced my maxijet 1200 pump with a rio hyperflow 8 pump on my aqua c remora hob skimmer today.

Already have bubbles cresting the colection tube. No skimate yet, but very soon I am sure.

[whitetiger61]

Sir Patrick

That Remora skimmer is great once you get it dailed in..I have the same one and it took me forever to get it dailed in but finally got it..now it pulls about 1/4 cup of skim mate out every day..Im running mine on the dry side..I have found it works better that way.

Rick

[Sir Patrick]

A little late on the post, but yesterday-

I got a blue tenius, yellow tort and an unusually yellow slimer!! Fingers crossed they will do well!!!

Sorry- no pics yet....

[MizTanks]

Woot Woot~my devils Armor has 2 new polyps~all my zoa's are looking awesome~truly every polyp is open~my attitude has changed about the HA~at least mines not as bad as the girl who works at the LFS~the one who keeps taking home the items I've ordered~ without paying for them even!!! My tank looks beautiful!!!

[lionhead]

I finally started on increasing the volume on my frag tank. I built a platform to hold a 50gal stock tank. I am going to get a 100 gal stock tank and put it under the 50gal. I am going to take the barrel out from under my current 24x24x12 frag tank. Its going to be a complete circle. Frag tank going to drain to the 100gal, pumped up to the 50gal, and the 50gal drain to current frag tank. I am thinking about once all this is set up about taking my large GBTA and my black and white saddleback clowns and putting them in the current frag tank. They will be to breeding age soon. I also got the basic frame built for my 90gal. I am building a new stand because it needed to be bigger to house the refugium me and TMO1 built. Joefish helped with the stand construction. I hope I get a new camera for Christmas so I can post some pics of these projects. I should be getting lights for the 50gal stock tank in January.

[Sir Patrick]

^ sounds like you have alot new and alot in the works!!!

Looking forward to seeing this all happen. All your ideas sound great!

[ryeguy28]

sold my proven pair of pj cardinals

[Sir Patrick]

I zapped a bunch of mujanos with a homemade recipe- hope it works!

Little fresh water, big squeeze of lemon, vinager and calc thickened to a past. I then heated it in the microwave to a very hot boil, loaded it into a syringe and zapped the buggers good.

Been fighting this was for too many years.....bet they come back....

[MizTanks]

New mexican turbo~bunch of cheato~new florescent~brought mr hermit to the LFS, he killed 2 turbos:angel10: and was going after my new mexican~No way you little :devil4: Corals looking goooood! Algae looks pretty good too:devil6:

[whitetiger61]

havent done a thing to my display tank except water changes..i did do alot of work to my contest tank..

Rick

[ReeferRob]

Lets see......Ive been running the new skimmer in my old frag tank for 3 days now. I used water from both tanks to stretch her out. This thing has the fattest thickest nog Ive seen so far. Can't wait to get it online!!!

Converting fug over to a cryptic zone and changing out a few baffels. May go to the bac driven side?!?
Also updating RKL and getting SL2 online....basically planning on doing a complete over haul to the entire underside of the tank! My biggest undertaking yet with the tank set up.

Added two McCoskers Wrasse four days ago. Fish dynamics are all over the board now.


I think I am going on 11 days now with out a purchase of coral or anything for the tank!!

[Zoa Addict]

The Bad - went out on saturday night tank was fine and came home sunday afternoon and some of my corals looked bad. I put my hand in my tank and the water was HOT. I looked at the temp it was 90 degrees. I unplugged the heater grabbed some bags of ice I had ready in case this ever happened and threw them in the tank. Put a fan across the top of my tank. Shut off my halides and waited and watched. I got my temp back down by that night and added 2 back-up heaters I had to get me through the night. Went to the LFS in the morning and spent $60 on a new heater.

The Good - I caught it in time and everything is looking great again today!

[MizTanks]

:( My emerald crab died :(

[jimsflies]

I'm guessing it didn't. It's more likely it molted. It's hard to tell the difference between the real deal and a molt.

[MizTanks]

I don't know~it smelled pretty bad.

[Mike]

Starting Strotnium today on the tank. All the corals are looking good and the fish are doing well. I picked up an additional Pyramid Butterfly at FD in ypsi on Monday night.

[Fishgeek88]

Just got a Flowstar 1500 return pump. Going to be swapping it into the system tonight, while I'm doing it I'm replacing all the white PVC to gray PVC

[Fishgeek88]

Oh and I got a MSX 300 coming in the mail...its been an expensive few weeks

[Mike]

Very nice additions though!

[MizTanks]

Stupid Mexican turbo snail aint doin nuttin to the algae on the rocks~an my emerald crab did die!!!

[ReeferRob]

DSB gone, Chaeto gone, New MSX 160 In, SL2 online, Salinity Probe probing complete ohaul done!

[Fishgeek88]

Well I was able to redo all my plumbing the last few days and swap in the ATB Flowstar pump. Also picked up a really nice Emperor Angel today from Atlantis.

[lionhead]

Sounds to me that you have been really busy. Plus got yourself some nice Christmas presents. Hope we can see some pics when you all done.

[Fishgeek88]

yea Ive been really busy. Summertime you wont find me on these boards much, even into the fall im always out doing something or working out in the garage on my cars. As soon as winter/cold hits im in doors all the time trying to make my tank look good and doing all the projects ive been putting off the since the last winter lol.

[Fishgeek88]

Well, it barely fit in my 90 gallon sump

[Sir Patrick]

Cleaned my skimmers.

Changed carbon.

Cleaned glass.

Rearanged some corals.

Fragged a couple corals.

Went to work and removed 90% of my bubble algea....fun?? NO! Pretty happy with the results though.

[card16969]

cleaned the glass on my new frag tank, took the bigger powerhead out of my fuge and swapped it for the smaller one in my frag tank, and added some small amount of rock work in it for hiding places for my picasso's

http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h129/card16969/fish/bedroom.jpg

[MizTanks]

Everythings out growing my tank-algae is more or less under control-got a very nice big clump of cheato for second chamber-spilled water all over my powerstrip while doing a wc-hopefully I saved it-it's a timer. Otherwise all is great with my tank!!



T

[thefishgirl]

In my 20g Nano contest tank -- new empty shells for my hermits.
In my 300g lagoon - 2 black/white/red scooter blennies
In my 50g QT tank - 2 new corals...one green.. one yellow :) + a red chalice and mixed zoa rock from my 300g. All dipped in Lugols before being put in that tank.

[igot2gats]

My Kedds Reds are aaaaaaaaaalive!!!! Yup, after over a week of being closed. They lookin sooooo purdy! My Green Implosions are going crazy, walking all over the place, new polyps galore! I have another zoa (not yet identified) that has also walked off it's plug onto the LR.

So all is wonderfully well with my tank. I also have bryopsis but started dosing with Magnesium, see how that goes.

Glad to hear your tank is doing better, Jamie. How about a pic?

[stunreefer]

changed carbon
new (awesome) nylon mesh filter socks
started wire clean-up
new fish comes tomorrow

[Sir Patrick]

Got some sticks, starting to color up!

Counted my rasta polyps- up to 7 now!! Whohoo! Think they like my tank.

[ReeferRob]

Sitting pretty waiting for a nice new chalice piece to come in the mail today!!!

[Sir Patrick]

Got a new blue sided wrasse-


http://i33.photobucket.com/albums/d87/sirpatrick1/new%20cam%20fish/video024.jpg

[kgood1]

I got a frag of monti digita and a purple tang!:secret2:

[Tankster]

minus one carpet surfing firefish. :angelsad:

[Sir Patrick]

Got another bangaii cardinal today (thx ceph) and got a couple mushrooms, a ric, an idaho grape monti, and a cool non photosynthetic gorg (thx kozy)!!


So far so good- with the 2 bangaiis together.

[pjr]

LOL the Idaho Grape came via me! Enjoy it!

It's been a busy week! My updates:


Installed a Profilux Plus II controller. It's on my LAN and doing just dandy! It was such a deal... could not pass it up. Sold the RK2, which worked superbly, but....

Fragging down my Hollywood stunner a lot. It just was out of space. Even after a bunch of frags, I haven't made much of a dent in it.

Sold a few favia as more stuff is getting crowded out in the front part of the tank. Caps are growing large and taking space.

I got one of these strange green bristleworms out of a colony/ rock i recently purchased. I got half of two others... plan to try and coax the rest out tonight.

The acro on the frag rack are growing well. Very excited! I hope to add a Red Planet and maybe some other prizes after heading to the MMMC this weekend. Keeping my eyes out for any cool encrusting montis as well.

[Sir Patrick]

Removed the new bangaii....got myself another boy...

Gonna give it to corvette reefer.

[kozyreef]

picked up some super glue cut some frags, got a hollywood stunner chalice from PJR (awesome tank deffinatly worth tank of the month)!!!
headed over to Chris's and trades some frags got a cool looking stick....
headed over to fish doctors picked up a wavemaker/2 nano korilias got home broke one:(...
superglued it back together and then put it under my live rock cave. I am returning the second one tommorrow probably gonna go with 2 more korilia 2's .

[kozyreef]

Removed the new bangaii....got myself another boy...

Gonna give it to corvette reefer.

gosh darn it better luck next time

[kozyreef]

Killed some more blue astrea stars... toothpicks are nice for getting the ones that are attatched in crevices in the rockwork ;)
I think thats it lol

haha gotem good!!

[Sir Patrick]

Started my couple days of lights out...got some dinoflagelletts kickin around in my tank- and they wont go away...

[Hindered]

Started cycling my single leak free tank! My "big" expansion project, 40 ENTIRE GALLONS!

[Tankster]

My rose bubble tip anemone split over the weekend! :taco:I've had it a little over a year and this is the first time. I need to get some updated pics uploaded soon.

[vittleking]

I'm STILL trying to get these POS lights I bought from MR to work!! THIS SUX!!! Dumbest purchase I have made for my tank ever!! Sucks being new and not knowing what to look for.

[Mike]

MOved the Profilux and dosing pumps. Decided to get a couple of 3 gallon water jugs for the Alk and Ca supllements to reduce the frequency I have to refill them. My sea grass sprouts will arrive tommorow for the sea grass refugium. I ordered a few pyramid butterflies too :).

[Mike]

I'm STILL trying to get these POS lights I bought from MR to work!! THIS SUX!!! Dumbest purchase I have made for my tank ever!! Sucks being new and not knowing what to look for.

What kind of lights did you buy?????? I live in Ypsilanti also. Might be able to help.

[vittleking]

What kind of lights did you buy?????? I live in Ypsilanti also. Might be able to help.

some BS retro kit from this guy on MR. The one ballast was open and had to screw it down to close it. It works sometimes, and sometimes it doesn't. You have to turn it on and off a few times and wiggle the ballast to get it to work, now it's not even working. The other one seems ok, and the vho's are so so, but I got ripped off on the dam thing. You live and you learn, but this was an expensive lesson. I believe it's a very old hamilton 175w halide. the plug that goes into the ballast looks like normal wall plug but the 2 pins are sideways and not straight up and down.

[Mike]

I will sell you a pretty new ice cap E ballast for 100.00

[Mike]

it is the new style MH ballast.

you are welcome to come over and check it out.

[vittleking]

thanks mike, actually I just bought a dual 175W cooltouch ballast from someone on MR, and just paid him before I saw this. Hopefully this new one will work better. Looks 1000 times better from teh pictures. Hopefully I will have it soon. Went to fish docs and they gave me a new capacitor in case thats it, but I'm afraid to mess with this POS. I'm hopeing the seller will work out some kind of settlement for the POS lights he sold me. At least there is the feedback option over there right? I may have to post pictures of this janky thing though. The ground wire was balled up inside the ballast, the switch is loose and has electrical tape holding it in place, the capacitor is wrapped in electrical tape, the socket housing has no top and has exposed wires, the wire guard doesn't fit and is just surrounded by old electrical tape that looked like it held it in place at one point. The LFS basically said it looks like a fire hazard and to have a certified electrician replace the capacitor and transformer, and rewire the whole thing. I'm not going to take my chances with this POS. Bright side is I got the other one for $100 and I can sell the other ballast and light that does work and try to recoup some of my losses. We shall see.

[Mike]

Good call on not taking a chance on it bro. Electricity is nothing to mess around with.

[Sir Patrick]

Whats new???? The glass on the tank is a bit hazzy....gotta swipe it tomorow!

[XSiVE]

Whats new???? The glass on the tank is a bit hazzy....gotta swipe it tomorow!

Aw come on, you cant talk up how many pics you're going to post and then not give us anything :P

[bigbill]

new green clown gobly

[Sir Patrick]

Just finished doing a water change- who knows when the last one was.....ooops!

Cleaned the glass, waiting for the tank to calm down for some pics!

[rmalone]

A couple new cleaner wrasses to replace Mr. perfect who jumped through a 2" gap at the back of the canopy after 8mo. He ate everything and cleaned everybody. Well see how the new guys do.

Otherwise I'm in a holding pattern just watching coral grow and fish eat. But I really should bust out some cash and get my dosing onto pumps instead of by hand.

[Sir Patrick]

I got a snowflake eel!! Thx Hindered and emureef! Hes very cool!

[Hindered]

Hope Chayne does well! I've never had any real problem with him, though I still haven't seen that Yashia goby... lol. That'd be my fault though.

[ETBReefer05]

Gave those Dino's the one-two punch with 72 hours lights out. One patch left. Bought 6 more Astrea snails and 6 Blue legged hermits. Hermits were foraging as soon as they hit the sand bed :) Still waiting on my clowns I have ordered from Tal/Reef Paradise.

[MizTanks]

I got diatoms and red slime algae-the diatoms are on the sand bed only-red slime on tanks back wall and on some zoas-WTH? Ever since I got my tail spot blenny my yellow rose prawn goby and pistol shrimp won't come out of their cave-especially the prawn he used to come out all the time-I hope they don't starve-I spot feed them but the bristle worms seem to get there first :(

[cg5071]

Hopefully it will be ok^ My friends yellow watchman wasnt seen for 4 months so it wasnt getting fed but it and his shrimp showed up after we simplified the rockwork and his hiding spot is near the front of the tank now.

Quite alot going on here actually. I took my current satelite apart yesterday and just used the guts to make a new light and mount it on my old canopy. I was getting shocks and the thing weighed a ton, making it hard to do anything in the tank.

I have layered a bunch of rock on the bottom of that tank to create a 5 in sand bed for my future jawfish pair. I have had sand bubbleing away in a 5g bucket for this and started filling in the spaces between the rock for them to dig in.

The same tank had my 3 baby bangaai in it that I am trying to pair up. I removed the bigger bully to his own tank to give the others, who were always hiding , some space to grow and hopefully pair.

Placed alot of new rock from tommy b in my main tank and cut back on feeding to help with my algae prob. Will be getting a bunch of columbellid snails in the next few days, to breed and hopefully knock out some algae. I need to hang my 70w hps light over my sump to also help with nutrients and grow chaeto.

Have also been setting the neighbors 65g tank up to spill over from her first 20g and make room for her cowfish. Not sure yet what she will do when he outgrows that one.

I suppose that is it, other than I need to change 10g of water today and hang the light. Been using my new used ro/di for the last 2 weeks but havnt seen the benefits from it yet.

[bigbill]

new tourch coral

http://i701.photobucket.com/albums/ww15/bigbill_01/DSC00107.jpg

[Sir Patrick]

Started 3 days lights out myself....again.....

[ReeferRob]

First day I've been happy with how the tank looks in weeks. Been running the EcoBaks for.....2 weeks now.
Dodged a bullet with the BRS Alk doser the other day. I left it on for like half hour. Alk was 12 for 24 hours with a 10 gallon water change. Steadily dropping down to 9 today, no ill side effects witnessed at all!!! Thank goodness.
Algae still a major pain but corals are coloring back up!

[Sir Patrick]

^ Close call!!! Glad ya pulled through!

[EMUreef]

hm got a new magfloat? lol
added a foxfac lo to the tank as well.
Noticed a new polyp on my blue hornets today.

[Sir Patrick]

Glued some corals down, and did a tiny bit of tweaking on the aqua-scape.

Did a water change.

Re-installed the Par-38 on the frag rack.

[Sir Patrick]

Whats new with my tank???I have been dosing MB& since the start of my tank. I started dosing vitamarin C (by brightwells) along side the biofuel, at a reduced amount, a while back. I no longer need to scrape my glass every other day! I can see clearly in the tank for a few days before i need to clean the glass!

[Sir Patrick]

A gallon a day evaporation??? Are you kidding me???

[redemer123]

i added a midas blenny, all my coral is showing significant growth. the only problem is the hair algae. i scrubbed the crap out of it i will see how fast it comes back...thats all i have to report :)

[MizTanks]

My birds nest is still alive and doing quit well. I see (if only in my mind) a hint of pink.
Haven't lost a zoa in over a month. Kedds have actually made a come back, from 1 polyp to 6 :)

[pjr]

A gallon a day evaporation??? Are you kidding me???

My daughter's 50g evaps that much.... so does my tank.

New in my tank is I added one of those mini-maxi-carpets from The Trop. Kinda cool!


We added a pump/UV all-contained unit to her tank, and it has gone from an algae bloom mess to crystal clear in just a few days…. And is maintaining that clarity. Very nice!

[cg5071]

I am ready to permenantly attach some frags to a nice big rock(or 2) and let it start filling in. Several caps and lots of monti digis and encrusting types.

My algae problem is fixed for the most part. I still need to pick it from the overflow but the rocks are 99% clear now!!! after how many months? and trial and error and new pieces of equip. and... lol

My tank (80g,40g and 30g sump/fuge all connected) evaporates 2.5-3g a day. the 80 is a cube though so lots of surface area.

[cg5071]

I recieved my 1"SCWD from premium aquatics yesterday. They had it on sale for $50 instead of $80! I have wanted one for a long while. Now I need to change out my 900gph return for a Danner 1200gph and set that up.

I am still helping the neighbor with her tank. I bought a Turbofloter1000 body from the lfs for 20$ It was really dirty and in the used equip area. New owners cleaning up the store. It is the same model I have on my tank and I really love it. So my Ocean Runner 900 gph will probably get used on that skimmer in my friends tank.

+ getting all my parts and pieces together for my 5g hex which I am entering into the nano contest. I will have a 15g sump/frag tank attached because I REALLY nead a frag tank for overflow from my main,lol.

[cg5071]

The LFS has ALOT of Red sea skimmer boddies, probably for about the same price. Not sure if anyone would be interested. I dont know how well that brand worrks but have heard of them of course.

My display tank was sold and picked up last Friday. Cleared a pair of (spawning) flame angels out of QT for new arrivals this weekend, but at the moment I don't have ANY coral or fish in the house! There's a cleaner shrimp in QT though ;)

wow! How that that be?

I know, right!? :stupidme:

All my livestock from the display has been gone since October when someone came and bought the lot of it, but the tank itself hung out for a while ;) QT tanks were full and as mentioned just had to make room, but I haven't been without at least fish or coral for over six years now... my shrimp will have to keep me company until Sunday.

I get a minimum of a gallon a day evaporation out of my 65gal.

Melted my Lunar from the growout contest. That makes the 3 or 4th Lunar frag I've melted in the last couple years - I would really like to know what the secret is to keeping that particular polyp.
