Myka's 90 gallon build & 3 province move (Pics Feb 6)

[Blom]

Ive heard of people talking for their pets before, but this monologue you have your clown doing is out there. Im pretty sure ive heard Doug say that nems are evil before as well.

[Myka]

Yep nems is evil. Right now they don't have any sting left from being moved though. Hehehehehe.

Wow, I made a stupid mistake. When I got all my livestock I had about 40 lbs of my old liverock come too. Well I plopped that into a Rubbermaid bin I've had going for awhile where the giant Bangaii is (that I bought out here, not my original Bangaii). Stupid me never thought of the fact that the rock would probably cycle after being moved. I just went to feed the Bangaii and it's dead. I feel like an @$$ too because the guy I bought it off said it was his first sw fish that he got 2 years ago!! Oh man...stupid mistake.

[Blom]

2 years, thats a good run.
Sorry to hear that though

[Ian]

sorry to hear about the cardinal. have to admitt I am jealous of your"empty" tank....you have way more in it that I do my new tank...

[Myka]

I'm pretty choked about losing the Cardinal to my own stupidity. I mean, I SO knew better! I was just all distracted with all my livestock arriving, and my mom visiting, and I actually got a bad enough case of whiplash earlier that I puked. So, the idea of the rock cycling totally went over my head. I think I was zombie-ish by the time I went to bed.

Aw Ian! It is definitely nice to be able to move livestock over instead of starting from scratch.

I took some pics today. Most corals are looking good. A few pieces have some questionable looking spots where there is some shrunken flesh. I expect that the corals' reactions will take a few weeks to really show up. I have kept the lighting schedule the same as it was on the 33g, as well as the products I dose. I am currently just dosing cal/alk/mg as well as ZeoVit Pohl's Coral Vitalizer and ZeoVit Sponge Power.

My favourite piece (that I've photographed a million times) from Wicked Frags:

Dont beat yourself up too much....we all have brain farts sometimes...

Nice collection of LPS!

Have the fish come out of hiding.....maybe enough for some photo's, hint, hint, nudge!, Sorry to hear about the bangaii. How is the little lost soul- coral making out?
