Dbo's 90g

Looking great, keep up the good work, I wouldn't worry about the beauty of the baffle silicone but how effective the work is unless you are displaying the sump.

 

question- some of my rocks have the coral attached. how long can these be out of the water when re-aquascaping? mainly just zoas and gsp.

 

bump! maybe 10 min or something? i can try to put them in last but im not sure

 

Well todays the day. I'm starting the switch in about 3 hours. Any last minute tips? Hopefully this all goes smoothly. I'm gunna try to take a lot of pics.

 

10am sat till 3am sunday morning.
wheww im glad im done!!

 

first time i had a chance to check params were today. i was kinda worried what i would see because all my corals have been pretty closed since the switch over.

ammonia-0 ppm
nitrite- 0 ppm
nitrate- 0 ppm
ph-8.8 ??
temp- 80.1
alk-2.0
calcium- 425 ppm
sg- 1.020 (topped off with salt today, usually keep it around 25)

i guess i dont see a mini cycle starting but its only been 2 days.
i just dont know why all my corals are so closed. is the move really that hard on them?

 

crickets.....crickets....

im looking into brs 2 part dosing kit. looks like everyone here loves it.

 

looks good, so i guess everyone made it??

i wouldnt worry about the corals being closed quite yet. maight take a few days for them to open back up.

 

ya so far so good. this morning it was wayyy clearer than it has been and my skimmer started pulling out some gunk.

 

little better pic of aquascape. its allllmost not cloudy any more. maybe another couple days. corals slightly opening now.
