Dez' Tank Journal

[doch]

Hey Dez... I (and I'm sure many others) are curious as to what's going on with your tank buddy. How's it going? You get everything all figured out?

[Dez]

Yeah, I'm still here. I've been fighting cyan0 for a while now. I had it really bad , plus all summer I was working on my backyard and neglecting the tank. I have over the last 6 months or so have been selling off colonies. It was too much of a forest in there and the stuff underneath the forest wasn't getting light and losing colour. My flow was definitely impeded probably triggering the cyano. Out of the dozen colonies that I sold off, most of them barely fit into a 5 gallon pail. It was hard for me to sell them off and bring them to the lfs, but it was needed for my tank to have a future. Up until a couple of months ago, there were a few colonies that were about an 1" or 2" away from the surface of the water. I have since lowered them and rearranged so that they have room to grow. The corals are continuing to colour up again now that they can see the light and for some reasons my monti's are growing like mad compared to the other corals. Here's a FTS from 5 mins ago, you can see that ugly cyano, but it was way worse before. I've also had to sell of 3 clams as they were touching the glass and corals were growing into them.

Ugh, I hate bad luck. Hope that your tank recovery is going well. Winter is here, so it's time to spend, I mean "throw" money at our tanks anyway

Want any mushroom frags? I have lots

[doch]

No thanks... I have one small group of mushrooms that I bought for Vanessa in my tank ... I regularly envision zapping them with an aiptasia zapper.

I can't believe you don't recognize the tank. You are the one who helped me install this tank after all. It is definitely my tank. You'll have to B & E into my house to get to it.

It is my 4' frag tank. I have another 5' frag tank where it's all decked out in egg-crate racking. Although, Greg still doesn't believe me, it's true

OH CRAP!!! I had to take a closer look at the pic and that does look like the frag tank we replaced but still no 100% convinced, take a pic from as far back as you can to show more and I will be a believer.
