But thanks anyway  Maybe one day, after my few years, I'll have something as sexy as your tank(s) Quote:
Time to get rid of a lot of boring 'starter' corals Quote:
 Incoming bad pics ... under blues  I should post some of the same pics under full lights as these are awful  I could use some money for hardware ... Should I frag some stuff up ? Don't know if anyone would like some or not. I'll start a thread and see where it goes .... Watermelon   Sunny Ds  My unhappy leptastrea. Was deep deep green 'till I cranked the lights up Now I'm hoping it will recover ....  Last edited by gregzz4; 03-05-2015 at 03:51 AM.

Not much to say or post ... guess I should get some pics up soon
Things are looking better ... corals are growing I've started using my QT as a frag tank and hope to sell some stuff soon Guess the best I can say is the tank is mostly on autopilot for now, but I'd like to up my WCs from 10%/week to 25%/biweekly I'm still working on this and it's taken me 6 months to get closer ... I had a quote of over $160 for a 25g tall tank  I built a new saltwater/ato setup but didn't like how it fit into my space so I'm trying to sell it I think I've found some glass to build the 25g tank myself Yup, pretty boring Need pics That is all Last edited by gregzz4; 03-26-2015 at 07:58 AM.

Nice tank! I wish I had kept better track of things in my journal like you and others. Things change so quickly.

Forgot to mention ...
I've had longspine urchins for years now, and the only problem I ever had was when one got big and started eating tiny SPS frags. I solved that issue by feeding it nori and shrimps whenever it would climb the front glass. It became a routine. He climbs and I feed. I returned the large longspine when he outgrew the tank and bought the smallest one I've ever seen in my life. Was about half the size of a ping-pong ball. Seriously was super tiny. I never saw it for months while it grew. Then I finally see it out roaming around and think, good, now it'll start to eat some algae. Well, months go by and it grows. I try to hand feed it as I did with the first one, but this guy will have no part of feeding tools. So I figured, meh, and let time go by. Forward a bunch of months and my flaming sun zoas start to disappear, then my watermelons. I looked for nights on end for predators ... Move forward a week and I catch the longspine on the watermelons before lights on. I thought maybe it's just cleaning the newly exposed LR. Then a few days later I see my lemon drop zoas are gone, and the urchin is sitting on top of my la lakers. I push him off and see I've only got 3 polyps left Son Of A Coral Eating Couldn't You Have Continued Eating The Watermelons ? So, after a short time of thinking about putting the longspine in the garburator I returned it to J&L, along with the 2 pincushion ones that were killing my snails by up-rooting them from the sand and carrying them around for days without food. I've gone back to Strawberry tophat snails I couldn't do this back when I bought the urchins as I killed off a lot of snails by dosing too much peroxide to kill the hair algae. Live and learn So many things to NOT do in this hobby Last edited by gregzz4; 04-13-2015 at 04:44 AM.
