Check Out My New Tank: Helen's 105 Rimless Build

My corals would say the same thing...

Beautiful tank!

 

Yep, that's my Duncan. Believe it or not he is po'd and us really about 1/3 again bigger. He has been fragged in half 3times over the past 4 years. I'd love to frag him again, but I live in the boonies with no access to an LFS with a band saw.

Yep, that's my Acan garden. Got about 5 small frags in there with the colonies. I'd like to frag the colonies and and make some multi-colored ones, but again, boonies and no saw.

Tripplemom, Thanks! I hope our corals think of us moving them about as just another storm in the reef. But I wonder how they stand the smell of epoxy?

 

I can't believe I'm getting green hair algae. It's on the powerheads and a couple of spots on the rocks. I suppose I might be leaching phosphates from the established rocks I moved, but so soon? I've never had it before. Might pick up a snail to two. I know that is just a band-aid, though. Hope I can control it before it spreads

 

I think your tank has perfect dimensions. very nice.

 

Thanks whiskey, nice of you to say. I'm quite happy. Yay! And the Razors really kick butt!

 

Congrads on getting the new tank up and going!

 

you've never had algae before??!! you are one lucky reefer!

 

Lucky. And obsessive

 

Did I mention how much I love my new lights? When I ran Kessils, they were "on" or "off". I used to yell "good morning fish!" And "goodnight fish". Now the transition is so gradual I wonder if the fish miss the greetings... Or are just happy.

 

Hi guys, haven't checked in for a while. Update: algea problem has been resolved with a combo of obsessive maintenance and GFO. Not all is good, though. I have a leak in one of my returns, thank goodness it us dripping into the sump. I am really regretting having hard-plumbed them. I have ordered more flex pvc and a gate valve. My intention is to rip apart the plumbing and make one of the reruns an emergency overflow and install a gate valve on the other. Hopefully this will resolve the "Niagara Falls" sound of the overflow box whilst fixing the leak.

I also added the most amazing pair of black snowflake clowns. They are so tame they were swimming up to my finger during acclimation, and ate out of my hand right away.

Anyhowzen, here's a quick snap of my tank as of 1/2 hour ago. Makes all the noise and stress worth it.
