Blue Water

Your PVC job has sent a whole bunch of gears spinning in my head.... gorgeous setup, great cleanup work on a used system, and great livestock!

 

Hey thanks for the kind words.

 

New addition.

New Dendrophyllia.
I'm gonna really enjoy this coral. It's much easier to feed than my suncoral. It really snags any food that touches the tentacles.
I bought it off ebay:
**7+ LARGE HEADS OF DENDROPHYLLIA CORAL*** WYSIWYG** - eBay (item 180416733142 end time Oct-11-09 20:03:15 PDT)
7+ heads but there's really 10.
Color is very nice red, orange and yellow.

 

A couple full tank shots.

 

By the last pic I can just tell youre a pilot with the 3 thermometers, lol.. I often find myself never fully trusting the instruments, so you gotta back it up..

 

Lol.. yeah there's actually 5.. I still have the coralife digital that crashed my tank..It reads 66 when it's actually 80.. and I have the controller.

 

Just a few words.
I've had a few corals die.
I stopped doing water changes for about 6 weeks and it didn't work well for me.
I know it works for some but I had issues.
ORA Oregon blue tort died.
Lave chalice died really fast.(that was expensive)
Orange digitata when down hill now recovering
And most others just stopped growing.
Hard to tell exactly what happened but I'm back on track now.
I've added another reactor.. now have one for carbon and GFO.
Algae scrubber is doing great.
I had an outbreak of invasive snails that look like collonistas but they're not cuz they ate a lot of my zoas. .. They don't look like sundials either. I'm still killing them manually. I don't see them much now.
Also still removing vermetid snails which I don't think I'll ever be able to get rid of them. They're fairly harmless but I don't like them.
Also I've added a controller Reefkeeper EliteV2 . It really makes things nice.

 

Very nice tank! I need to get pics of my tank up even though its laying all over the place till I get it going..lol

Thanks for sharing, love the PVC idea for your rock display...8)

 

tank is looking georgeous

 

Nice tank Av..sorry to hear about your corals. Always a shame How is that manifold working out for you? Where did you get the fittings for it?
