Zach's 75G Build

very cool! im a big fan of frogspawn

 

So wait a minute.... are you say it has been wrong the whole time you have had it. I mean was this some of your problem, or just since the last time you put it together or whatever. Things are looking good.

 

It had been seated wrong for nearly the entire time. I have no idea how. I did nothing different, I guess it just fell together this time. Yes, I feel like a complete dipsh-t. But unfortunately, my socks have not been knocked off yet.

 

NO3 - somewhere above 0, somewhere under 10.

Water is clear, skimmate is black and smelly. No signs of bacteria blooms. Everything looks good, corals look better than usual. SPS polyps are all out.

Keeping dose at .25 ml vodka for the next 2 days, and then testing again.

 

Ordered an ATO from Autotopoff.com yesterday - dual float valve with pump. Already got my shipping notice this morning, so I should have that up and going by the weekend. Hopefully this will keep my salinity and temperature more stable - been checking with a refractometer and the salinity swings from 1.025 to 1.027 during the day while I'm at work due to a large amount of evap, and I'm sure that isn't good for my critters and corals.

Heading up to Kentucky after work today to pick up some more corals - stoked about a 20+ head blasto I'll be getting

 

Updated pictures, with some new additions:



Nice new 20+ head blastomus



This little guy always has his sweepers out.

 

My bubble



Hard to get a pic of this guy, the mouth is neon green and the tentacles are actually a deep purple. 3 heads



Clam is now hanging out on the bottom.
