I made a classic mistake of trying to aquascape with Rock..I realized now its not about making your Rock look good.

I had nowhere to place my sps. So I decided to rescape my tank for corals instead of rocks.

I got some dry rock from ;ecoreefer, Underwaterloo.

A quick dry run before it hits the tub for a few weeks.

Tank looks great, those rocks will make nice shelves.

Hidden Logic gate diagrams all over in the background, reef tank related? or work? what controller are you using if it's for the tank?

shiver905 09-02-2011 07:12 PM

Its not reef tank related.
Who knows maybe one day i'll decide to give a controller a go.

I do own a reefkeeper. Its good but I dont feel like I use it to its full potential.

Heres the updated fts.

OHH GWADD
Another ich out break...

Another 6 weeks trying to explain having a fishtank without fish:cry:

SO the QT is setup.

It’s scary because there is no biological filtration on it.
So I bought an ammonia detector and some prime.

I hope the ammonia stays somewhat locked. I am not going to have the time to do water changes every day.

The hypo is working great. It’s been about a week and almost all the white spots are gone.

I still have a pair of clowns in the display tank and it seems like they have immunity to the ich. I’m wondering if I should pull them out an QT them also. The reason I haven’t done this already is because the more the fish in the QT the larger the bio load in a tank without barely any bio filtration.

My LEDS came in also.
I should be excited but I’m not, With my ICK problem and I’m getting attacked by algae. The led build will be put on hold until I find some cheap aluminum C-Chan/heat sinks.

52 whites

It was time to upgrade the skimmer. My Bubble magus bm100 did not seem like it was dealing with the newer tank.

So Iv gotten the ER rs135 and the ER rs180

The 180 has a bad pump But with some research it seems the 180 would be too large for my tank..

Id still like to keep it as a back up if I can find a pump for it cheap.

Anyone know a deal?


ill take some pics or a vid 2moro

Been awhile

Seeing says much more then trying to read my grammar errors.
