Installed the new impeller for my SK181 tonight
The restart issue is gone, but I'm not happy with the noise from the pump now I was able to previously rid myself of the noise with a few re-starts, but now that's not the case Hopefully it will change over time I also now find I need to re-adjust the skimmer as the new impeller sits in a different location in the pump ( more forward to the venturi ) and it has changed the adjustment level ( water height wise ) Just a matter of re-tuning and I'm sure I'll be happy I'm just dammed glad I didn't have to pay big bucks for the impeller upgrade  Ce La Vie, it works

The frag meet today @ Bblinks's was awesome
Got to meet many others Brought home more frags than I thought I would ... Here's some, but not all Crappy pics with a Sony WX5 and some PO'd corals in the shots ...      I brought home over a dozen frags, but the camera wouldn't show them all I glued one Monty to the overflow box, so this should be interesting Stay posted as they grow

The fan is keeping the QT cool, even when my office hit 81 today
 I moved the newest monti today. It's in the corner of the overflow against the glass now. Looks much better - not so much like it's just floating nowhere  Here's some better pics of all my frags Polyps that came with the second batch of LR  Montis from tang daddy    Couple from Steve Fedyk   And a bunch from g_dawg ( I think - tang daddy brought them ) and Bblinks           Thanks for all the great frags guys Last edited by gregzz4; 06-25-2012 at 03:25 AM.

Today's readings are looking good
I didn't expect to see any drastic drops in params with such a small amount of coral, but I'm going to stay on top of it anyway All but 1 coral have lots of PE I've been in contact with the seller and am hoping to get an answer as to where this particular coral was most happy in his tank SG 1.025 Temp 78.9 - 79.3 pH 8.12 @ 5am ( still dark, but ambient morning light ) pH 8.21 @ 11pm ( lights out, moons on 11% ) Mag 1400 - 1450 KH 8.5 Ca 410-420 NO3 trace PO4 not measureable I'd like to see my Mag drop a bit, but am happy enough with the Alk and Ca for now I haven't started dripping Kalk yet as I haven't found a vessel I like, so I have been dosing Alk as needed ( in small doses ), but haven't had to add any yet since the addition of the new corals Hopefully this week I'll find a nice container of some kind for the Kalk dripping I bought some live phyto today for the corals and I'll start with feeding 2-3 times/week, although tonight may tell me how much they want I don't want to feed daily yet as the small corals are still acclimating, and the current algae is semi-under control With all the LR I've added to the sump, the drain section is staying amazingly clean, but we'll see what happens once I start feeding fish in the DT The QT dudes are doing well Today was 2 weeks for the Clown and PJs, with this coming Friday being 2 weeks for the Bangaii Everyone is eating well, although not all the same food - fussy little kids I'm looking @ about July 27th before I will add them to the DT, barring any visible signs of infection This'll put them @ 6 weeks in the QT and then I can start looking for a Tang to munch all the algae that's keeping me busy Lastly, I defrosted the office beer fridge today I don't know why I didn't store the frozen food in it until now, after all these years of keeping it in the kitchen fridge The office beer fridge freezer section is large enough to hold all 17 flats of food I have stock-piled  Plus, besides beer, pop and extra jarred people food, there's plenty of shelving for the new phyto, and somewhere to hold the defrosted dish of food for the QT dudes I guess that's enough for today Thanks for following along Last edited by gregzz4; 06-26-2012 at 04:10 AM.
