Thank you.

That's cool! You've added some serious sps as well!
|
They are some very large pieces I acquired from another Canreef member, Tyson. The colonies were so big that they wouldnt fit into my QT tank without being mostly exposed to air. So I had to chance it and do a dip only. I saved a couple of acro crabs and many brittle stars.
|
Yeah I think you're golden. I only dipped and its all good over here!

Great looking tank Catherine, love the tang gang

"don't put on the red light" lol!

The tank is really coming along, looks great.

Time for a FTS Catherine! Those last video pics are just teasers!!!
|
When I get home tonight I'll hook you up. Maybe I can get a few photos of my emperor; he is starting to change colours!
I'm debating pulling the trigger on another and hopefully my last light for the centre of my tank. Might go for a drive at lunch. Sent from space while riding a T-Rex. |
A little late but the yellow tang issues you had early on.. I originally bought a school of them as well 15 total for my 16' tank. Everything worked out well at the start (first day) ended up losing 2 right off the bat then slowly started losing more and more. Did you ever figure out why? I know for a fact mine had no signs of aggression or marks on them but still lost the majority of them.
Would like someone else's opinion on schooling yellow tangs who has tried it before. On another note love the tank and size will have to go back and keep reading just found the build today. |

The LAST big upgrade
Oh doh! It, the FTS, totally slipped my mind.
As for the yellow tangs, or any tang, it seems the secret is food. They thrive on more rather than less, in my experience. I would attribute a bunch of my success to auto feeders and regular feedings. Your tank sounds so fun! I would love to follow along if you have a journal. I may have found my next QT inhabitants. http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/10...06bd070d54.jpg In other news I am super unhappy with my black tang. The thing hides ALL the time. Boo! Barely comes out to be seen. He may be out more often in the dawn/dusk and night hours but he's hard to see. Sent from space while riding a T-Rex. |
My fish really like the camera, but what I'm actually trying to show is the change in my emperor.

Washed out FTS. I haven't quite figured out this new phone/camera other than point and shoot.

The new LED fixture I ordered for the centre of the tank was having problems communicating with my Apex controller. It was returned and I will look at picking up either a new AI fixture or maybe something new. Not sure yet. Research to do.
I added 4x 4ft actinic T5s to the system to supplement as I'm noticing colours are fading. I have new sand to add, but I'm waiting to finish making water for today's WC. Sent from space while riding a T-Rex. |

The Kessil is going to my refugium. I think I am finally done with my lights. Finally. Sent from space while riding a T-Rex. |

Bought a collection of wrasses for the tank. Been waiting for a year to add new fish so this is exciting!
I'm trying out some new salt, Reefer's Best, as I'm getting tired of manually bumping Ca and Mg all the time. I don't mind Coralife Marine and all, but I want to look around and see what else is out there. I'm having some phosphate problems which I'm attributing to needing to replace my RO/DI media. A 150g water change ended up bumping my phosphates up by 0.12ppm! I'm preparing to tear down about 1/3 of my aquascaping in the near future; my fish have grown so much that they need new hiding places. https://vimeo.com/172248280 One of my anthias has turned! http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...29b538fb3b.jpg http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...1b70db8aaa.jpg http://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/2016...546b3d436c.jpg I need to go clean my glass and make up their evening meal.

Nice! What wrasses did you get? I'm liking them as well.

Nice. I'm looking at a carpenter wrasse as well. I'll have to look up Noako. I've not heard of that one. Did you get them locally or order them? I would be interested in your review of reefers best. If it's all that and a bag of chips I may try it but it's pricey. I know someone who swears by it but it never hurts to have a second opinion.

Looking awesome! Radion looks soooo much better than Kessil.
Regarding the PO4...did you know that DI resin loses it's ability to attract ions once it has become "full" and will suddenly start to release ions? So you can get a big flush of all the nasties the DI resin removes like ammonia, phosphate, silicate, etc. |
Got a new toy:

Looking good! What do you have in there for fish and inverts these days? Look like a fairly light load.

That's odd you can't find many inverts in Calgary. The LFS here goes through them fast - always getting more in.
