Scott's 270g aka Project Mayhem

[Scythanith]

Some new corals from a great local boxing day sale and ones I transferred from the 40g. They aren't the best pictures but I wanted to share

I have high hopes for this one.













Bought this when it was brown. It had a hard time, but now is off the hook!









Red Fungia sp.

I will need to buy some of the SPS frags again…. the Acropora sp. didn't do well in the holding tank but 3 survived.

Mad Jelly will get an email once the tank is stable

Those are some crazy corals you got in there, I'm envious

I am working on ordering some of these up to replace my zip tie fasteners. I pulled the stainless steel hose clamps that came with my abyzz pumps, as they were corroding. I put two heavy duty zip ties on each end and tightened the hell out of them. But the back pressure on my manifold ended up popping the silicone connector right off of the lower pump. I was lucky that the pump flipped forward and starved itself of water by the intake sucking itself to the glass. I was lucky that in itself didn't crack the glass. Anywho, I put some weight, an old quiet ones pump, on the top of the abyzz to keep it from pressuring out of the silicone connector.

I am hoping the 100% titanium base clamps will do the job. Does anyone else have experience with them?

Cheers,
Scott

You can get plastic hose clamps as well, but 100% titanium would be ideal.

Oh sorry to hear that.

I lost the ORA Red Planet, WF cobalt tort, Lime in the Sky stag and glowstick Sarmentosa. All the monti's, the undata, and pink lemonade and kushberry are doing well, as are the chalices & pectina.

100% 50-70mm Titanium worm clamps…… $55 a piece. Well, at least I know the pumps shouldn't explode off unexpectedly.
