I would agree that you are definitely one of the most methodical reefers I know. Looking forward seeing more! :-)

If only I could come up with a new break-through, like the equivalent of a skimmer ! We'd be out of this house so fast and into one where I'd build a rediculous tank and work on it all day This is the one hobby I wouldn't tire of as long as I had enough time |
OK, all the names are in :smile:
Here's to hoping all the QT guys make it to the DT ... I hope to get better pics one day but for now here we go Asrai - Lubbock's Fairy Name comes from something I found on the web about a purple fairy http://i749.photobucket.com/albums/x...ps664b009f.jpg Benny - Starry Blenny Name partly comes from the obvious, but also 'cause he looks like a bushy-eyed old man, and I though of Benny Hill http://i749.photobucket.com/albums/x...pse312eaad.jpg Blu - Neon Goby Donna picked the name based on color and I'm OK with it due to it's spelling http://i749.photobucket.com/albums/x...psd6c3746b.jpg Boo - Bangaii Cardinal I can't politely explain the origin of this name http://i749.photobucket.com/albums/x...ps1942e36d.jpg Cherry - Redhead Goby Another of the Wife's picks due to color, but I'm OK with it http://i749.photobucket.com/albums/x...psdf4c2ff7.jpg Chloe - Purple Firefish No idea how Donna came up with this one. I remember her wanting some more girly names http://i749.photobucket.com/albums/x...psb54f3798.jpg Floyd - Solar Fairy Psychedelia and Pink Floyd. Coulda been worse. Coulda been named White Rabbit :wink: http://i749.photobucket.com/albums/x...ps1ab8d8c4.jpg Ginger - Whipfin Fairy Name out of thin air ... http://i749.photobucket.com/albums/x...psefaaf7a9.jpg Goober - False Perc Aptly named little retard http://i749.photobucket.com/albums/x...ps9df55c83.jpg Gumby & Pokey - Pajama Cardinals Originally named P & J. Names just came to us one night as they tend to bump and poke each other from time to time http://i749.photobucket.com/albums/x...psd10a03c0.jpg Hector - Hector's Goby Yup, we're all about originality http://i749.photobucket.com/albums/x...ps34b791bc.jpg Hunter - Melanurus Wrasse Dark hunter green and a real seeker of food stuffs http://i749.photobucket.com/albums/x...pse32bbc2e.jpg Junior - Yellow Coris Wrasse Was the tiniest little guy in QT and has grown at an amazing rate. Almost was named Levi, but I nixed it then as I liked my name more :lol: http://i749.photobucket.com/albums/x...ps29e08752.jpg Levi - Filamented Flasher Had to let something be named Levi - to keep the peace :wink: I was thinking more like Chevy Guess I'll have to get another fish http://i749.photobucket.com/albums/x...ps68b6b1e1.jpg |
The new addition and all the other fish you have picked is a good community. Post more pics if your tank and coral!

Corals
Looks great Greg ! I am glad to see those lakers haven't melted away :biggrin:

Hey, Greg, that's some pretty nice stuff in there... Tank is coming along great. I like your selection of corals,... and fish.

I'm glad too, and they're spreading to boot ! Quote:
I hope it takes off soon and looks like some of your guys' tanks :wink: |
Maybe the following is the reason why my corals are stalled ...
I've been using Elos kits for the 'Big 3' since Feb 2012 I've always tried my best to keep my tests as; Alk 7.5-8.5 Ca 4-420 Mag 1350-1450 Because J&L is moving away from Elos and going with Salifert, I bought some kits to see what's up with my water Tonight I tested a new bucket of IO from KE Most of the tests are good; New Saltwater Alk Elos 11 Alk Sa 10.9 Ca Elos 410 Ca Sa 410 Mag Elos 1400 No Sa kit for mag yet Here's where things get screwey I tested my DT tonight with both kits, and re-tested only to get the same results Alk Elos 8 Alk Sa 7.3 Ca Elos 400 (ya I know it's a bit low) Ca Sa 400 How can the Elos kit read so close to the Salifert test on my New Salt Water (>.1), yet be so far off on my DT test ? I tested both 2 times with the same results ... Back when I started out, I tested my procedures against the J&L staff for my Elos stuff And when I bought the new Salifert kits I used the bottle in the KH kit to confirm I'm using the product correctly So, looks like I need to bump up my Alk some and maybe this will help my SPS ... After all this time, and after e-mails with Elos about how to use their product, it looks like I still have low Alk :twised: Dammed Elos I tested my tank last week and Elos told my 8.5, but Salifert told me 7.7 I think I'm going to trust the Salifert tests from now on as they are more incremented I was told by some experts, when I started this hobby, to use Elos :sad: |
