tank is doing great, lots of growth, healthy fish. Some new tangs, a chocolate tang with white fins and white on his face, sold as a chocolate hybrid. My Maori wrasse ate some new additions, ate an allens chromis as i ploped him in the tank :( took a chunk out of another...so i moved them to the 30G quickly...called the injured one chunky...

yeah the wrasse is the only ive ever seen, its a tripletail maori wrasse. so far pretty calm until he saw an allens chromis - seriously shocked i have 15 or so chromis and he doesnt bother them, the shiny reflective blue must have been a favourite for him, he went beserk when i put 2 in.. |

new pics from frag tank, got a new MH fixture, 2x150 and 2x 39t5ho
http://i1377.photobucket.com/albums/...psc5q4abvw.jpg http://i1377.photobucket.com/albums/...psaexdqfo3.jpg the porites seems to like the MH http://i1377.photobucket.com/albums/...pspyjtxz8y.jpg http://i1377.photobucket.com/albums/...pss3wbrfmz.jpg |
Ok so i got new bulbs for this mh fixture.... one already blew and cracked...im wondering ive done something wrong or faulty bulb. Its a maristar 2x250w mh with old huge ballast(rated for 2x250w) and 2x39w t5ho, all good for 3 days and now this afternoon only one is on, and other has big crack on bulb (hamilton 20k de 250w).
this is the frag tank before the light blew out, http://i1377.photobucket.com/albums/...psfgb7j6wb.jpg Am i using the wrong ballast for bulbs? grr, they were stupid expesive cause i was to eager to order online, anyway also picked up a small skimmer to replace my other 2...just giving it a little clean with vinegar(its used). http://i1377.photobucket.com/albums/...ps6zflkvmo.jpg |
got the BK plumbed in and starting to break it in, left my other skimmer running till the big one is ready and pulling stuff.
Garbage can for scale lol http://i1377.photobucket.com/albums/...psfhz1ujuz.jpg |
Impressive
|
this skimmer rocks.. thick foam, only day 2..
http://i1377.photobucket.com/albums/...ps0sosgq6f.jpg http://i1377.photobucket.com/albums/...psrl8boela.jpg fish seem way more active, morning shots without t5s http://i1377.photobucket.com/albums/...ps2j5x5w6d.jpg http://i1377.photobucket.com/albums/...ps7syc3vkb.jpg http://i1377.photobucket.com/albums/...psv1iunkml.jpg |
Apex nearly fryed and gased my tank!
So i went to get some new tires for the gfs jeep this morning, and after i checked in and was waiting, apex fusion decided to connect again ( been a month of on and off all day, ****ty wireless and cant update unless i pull it out and bring to modem).
this is screenshot after i got home and moved all the plugs. it was heading in a bad direction.. http://i1377.photobucket.com/albums/...psa2btnysy.jpg at about 5 am apex simply turned everything on, regardless of what the settings were, even when i got home the apex unit itself said lights off and they were all on... co2 to my calcium reactor was just flowing away, brought ph in reactor down an extra .1 and the heaters were roaring and brought temp up.. wtf. has this happened to anybody else? |
My Apex has been doing the same thing, not quite that extent though. My ato wouldnt turn off even though all settings were right (luckily my sump holds more than my ato for just that reason), when lights off it says on, and when I try and turn them on manually it doesnt even work. Not even with the controller. It has been a little bit better since the update, but it still has issues. kinda scary to think what could happen if the apex did fail and went undetected for to long.
|
ill probably issue a service ticket and see what neptune says, but im reluctant to use it at all, if they cant provide a reliable product for 1000+ dollars im gonna be ****ed, my livestock is worth too much to have a premium product kill everything...not sure what to at this point with winter coming. do i trust the temp switch on the heaters themselves, or do i trust apex. sigh..co2 feels alot more dangerous now, have to dial in the bubble count alot closer now.
|
Seems to be a lot of Apex issues on the board this year. I wonder wth?
On the other side, your tank looks fabulous and you can't go wrong with THAT new skimmer! :D |

Pump and fish
Love those Angels! I hope they are reef safe because one day I would like a pair as well.
Also, how is your pump running? Quiet? No other problems? I am asking because I will be setting up a 175 gal tank soon. AquaAddict |
Quote:
Which pump are you talking about? |
Quote:
I had two, however one was really rough after shipping and didn't make it. I've had the other for a few months and she is a a model citizen |
I have had so many changes in the last 7-8 months, all fish are different with the exception of my red coris wrasse, and most equipment is differennt. So i figured i would make a new stock/equipment list.

I can't believe how sweet your tank looks in sub a short period of time. The difference between buying colonies and the modern habit of frags!
Post a pic of your mystery tang - I'm sure someone here can ID it! |
You run 4 gyres?? Man those fish must be getting some good exercise! :wink:
