Razor blades and Goo Gone worked for me.

Default End of year update

Thanks JDigital, I did get some GooGone from Rona but haven't had much luck with it. Is there a trick to it? I heard methyl hydrate can be used to clean glass too, anyone have experience with this?

The tank has been running for a month now without any problems other than it being inadequately lit. Everything from my corner tank is now in this one. I'm debating purchasing a light for this tank, though some of you may have noticed in a previous pic that I was sealing the wood for this tank on a much larger aquarium frame... yes, an upgrade is already in the works so I don't know if I should bother with a proper fixture As of now, I don't know if I will keep this setup once the upgrade is complete.


On boxing day I picked up a couple of new additions: a flame angel and a clown trigger. So far, so good, both are eating well, get along with the rest of the fish, and do not pick at any of my lps.

So I've heard/read. I'm hoping I'll have some luck as there are a few model (trigger) citizens around too. Thanks for the input though.

Everything is doing really well. I need to get a couple of things replaced though. Since I gave my sister my smaller tank she took my glass cleaner, RO filter, and test kits (which I never used on this tank, but I will need a month from now) and about 40-50 lbs of liverock. I also broke my camera a while back, but since there is interest to see it, I'll make it a priority to replace it. I was going to on my last paycheck, but decided to buy a few more lps instead :P I rescaped when she took the rock, which I like more mostly because I got all the corals under the dinky light

The trigger is amazing! He doesn't touch anything he's not supposed to. He's ALWAYS excited to see me, and he gets along with the fish just fine, mainly because I think everyone acknowledges he's the boss. He did kill an acan I got from Borderjumper accidentally though. It was on the edge of his new sleeping rock so he knocked it over, and it landed really close to the 250W heater... and I didn't notice for a couple of days, so it was toast.

My flame angel is pretty good too except it ate most of my torch coral when it was up front. Interestingly enough, when I moved it away (to the back of the tank) it didn't go after it anymore, poor torch was so stressed out though it just receded/melted away completely
