Re: Here's my 120

Always much to do, and I am scheming a major upgrade, hope to correct the little things I rushed through last year in the move, but I am still giddy about hitting the one year mark
;D

Re: Here's my 120

Thanks so much for the kind words. It's been an interesting year and I've learned sooooooo much. Still much to improve.

Thanks again!

Re: Here's my 120

Thanks J Curry.

I am sad to say, the linka didn't make a come back. I am also not so sure that the blue stripped rabbit did not pick at him, it has a wierd sence of taste ::) and the linka's decline was at the same time I added the rabbit. But I am not sure if the rabbit started the linka's issues or not?

I test for PO4 and do not show any significant rise. I use a Deltec kit and although I feel there is some variation from test to test in the result color, it is still below the lowest reference result. I do run a PhosBan reactor that I change quarterly. One day I'll spring for a real Po4 tester.

I am preparing to redo the sump room. I now have two sumps with about 45 g in combined operating volume and I am changing them out for one that will operate at about 60 g and A LOT better skimming. I am on the fence about increasing from a 75 g to 90 g Fuge. I'll be upgrading the chiller as well going to a 1/2 hp. I'll be addressing other equipment and plumbing issues that I could not focus on during the hasty move and set up of the 120.

All this is so I can tie in a 240 g I just got which will be an angel orientated reef. (i.e. the corals will be those they don;t eat ;) ). The 120 will remain an SPS dominated reef.

.. This should to be fun ;D

Here's an early morning shoot, from my desk, just a few minutes after the actinics came on. The white spots on the glass are little snails, there are hundreds of them in the tank.

Re: Here's my 120

Dude, your front glass has Ich. ;D

That's quite a bit of snails. Looks like the tank is nice and healthy.

Just a pic of my caps under actinic

They are growing like weeks! The orange started overtaking my superman and I had to move it to save the SM frag. It is still a little browned out, but recovering.
