imisky's 30g custom tank

That is one tiny little tang... they are soooo cute at that age.. I wish the scientists would start genetically modifying them to stop there growth so they would stay that small. Then all of us could have one.

ya i was thinking the same thing, i wouldnt mind a group of miniature tangs sure beats a school of damsels that only eat and lives free in my system.

I was just looking through this thread last yesterday wondering about an update. Glad to see the tanks still looking great

oh and my ph does the same thing as yours. Im not really sure how accurate my ph probe is, its about 2 years old haha

DCDN the corals are reacting much better than they did under my MHs imo, i just have to fix the alk/ca swings before they'll color back up again but thats only a matter of time

Lee im not sure whats going on with my pH, ive tried about everything and the result is the same. Though just like yours my pH probe is 2 yrs old and would probably benefit from the change. Its just a little crazy that i am getting a swing from 8.2 during the day to 7.5 at night...too much corals not enough O2

a fun little update for everyone here. Ive been playing with the idea of adding a sump to my system for a while now and i think now might be a good time to do it as i have time to kill before school starts up again.... So im sure majority of you know about the mame glass overflows, welllllll to cut to the chase i'll be making one out of acrylic tubing. Ive got majority of it made already and i think it'll turn out great, all thats left now is to add the auto priming venturi on the overflow and im good to go for testing. meanwhile im a little lazy right now to post everything but ill do one picture and everything else will be in my blog below take a look, if you like it feel free to follow.

Cheers

finished! after about 3 days and 8 hours roughly worth of time invested the overflow has finished. The full list of equipment used was

electric drill with 1/4" bit
heatgun
saw
methyln chloride
dremel

the result:





now i just need to find out how to cut these damn vinyl tubing straight so it doesnt look so messed up...funny that out of everything i did i cant do one of the simpliest
