90 gallons of love. New pictures 10/4

Vinny, did you ever figure out for sure what the problem was? I know you said you had a calcium level of 250.

On another note, I love my little mushroom garden. There are so many zoas I want to get as well lol. What softies are stocking up on?

 

Well well. Another goes to the LED side, hmmm. Congrats.

Sorry to hear about the LPS issues, and your mandarin.

Sympodium still hanging in there?

 

I am with you Stick!! I have been quite busy lately and it seems the more I neglected my frag tank the faster the softies grew.;D The same can't be said for the DT unfortunately. What I really needed was a Calcium reactor as manual dosing only works when you are home to do it.lol I am pretty sure the main problem was a bad batch of Red Sea Coral Pro.(Calcium tested 250 in the WC container) I have since switched back to Coralife and now test the first batch of every new salt I purchase.I will be doing alot of Zoa's and mushrooms as well.

I got rid of a bunch but still have enough to fill your tank with it.lol
I will be having a Sympodium giveaway soon so stay tuned.LOL

 

Sorry to hear about your mandarin. That's a good idea about testing the first batch on the salt. I used to do that but got lazy along the way. I need to go back to that before something similar happens to me.

Did you put your bp reactor back on line? I'm sure you said on your bp thread but I haven't checked it in a while.

 

Sorry to hear about you Mandarin, Vinny. Looking forward to pictures of your new lights and setup.

 

No I haven't and to tell you the truth I am pretty sure the BP'S had nothing to do with the issues I was having. I may restart the reactor at a later time but for now I am sticking with GFO carbon and WC's. Thanks for stopping by. I couldn't figure out what happened to the Mandarin as he just dissappeared one day. I solved the mystery when I found his shriveled corpse between the sump and stand. I am seriously considering a screen top for my tank as this is the second fish I have lost this way in the past 6 months.(The other was a Blue Damsel)

Thanks Jerry. And thanks again for your help with the fixture.

 

So sorry to hear about the Mandarin, Bro. Honestly, I had them marked as the one fish that would never jump. :-/

Work and life in general is the reason I went with a 29h w/softies only with my new tank. As exotic as a large tank full of stony corals sounds (and looks ), it can easily become more of a chore than a hobby.

Good luck, Bro. Waiting to see the new pics.

 

Sorry for the loss, congrats on the lights. I will stay tuned for your Sympodium give away, mine melted away.

 

Thanks Mr. B. I too thought it highly unlikely but did notice at night a few times while I was feeding my corals that he would sometimes be cruising right below the surface and I scared him one time and he actually jumped up out of the water.(not very high) I should have had a clue then that it was possible.

Sorry to hear that John. I will be happy to ship you some anytime. Let me know.

 

sorry i never stopped by this thread! awesome tank! sorry about the mandarin too! Just filled in my holes for the new wrasse coming!

Thanks for all ya provide for this site!
