Kevin's 265G Reef **New Wrasse 5/10!**

Very nice adds! I had a lobo in the middle just like that! Sure did appreciate food! and grew fast! You should enjoy them!

 

wow....like someone posted it was a good book....i made an account on 3reef today, i sat here for sometime just reading through every page of this 23 page thread.....it was awesome....you have an extremely nice tank that wont unbelieveably smooth due to patience and experience.....great job.....i only have 1 suggestion that i truely do thing that you should do......RIP IT ALL DOWN AND OVERNIGHT SHIP IT TO ME......yea, like that'd ever happen.....hahahahaha.......great job......next gonna be a 640 gallon? soon enough you will own the shedd aquarium

 

lol Thanks for taking the time to read the whole thread I tried to make it as detailed as i could, so that i could help others when coming into the hobby. I'm not gonna lie, thoughts of "my next tank" have entered my mind, but not for a looooong time is that going to happen. But I have a feeling if my wife and i ever decide to sell this house...the tank will be staying, and I will be upgrading to a 500g+....but that is waaaay far away. I'm pretty happy with 265 (305g total) right now lol

 

I have always been a huge fan of AquaC products (always been my first choice). Staying true to the company that has helped me have success in this hobby, I just bought the AquaC RX1 Calcium Reactor package, that comes with everything I need (co2 tank, regulator, bubble counter, pump, media..etc.)...I know Steve @ AquaC has never let me down, so I hope this reactor is as good as their skimmers! This will make my maintenance even easier as I will not have to dose calcium into my top off water anymore I see a float valve on my top off in the near future, then I wont have to drag my top off container over to my RODI Unit anymore to make water

 

Very nice wins, congrats

 

Well, if anyone is like me, adding reef frags on plugs can be a real pain, super gluing the frags (and sometimes that doesnt even work), trying to find the right size hole in the live rock for the plug to fit...well i have found my solution to this problem...dead coral!..lol I found a HUGE piece of dead coral and I have broken about half of it into peices that i put in my tank, and the old skeleton allows me to put my plugs in, and it holds em VERY tight...they are super white right now, but in a week or two they will start to turn and will be the color of the rest of the tank. As a bonus, the skeletal growth seems to camoflauge the plug too, making it look more natural to a person glancing at the tank....also the pics include pics of my new encrusting monti's and my new torch coral..

 

also I have my calcium reactor now...i just have to get the CO2 tank filled tomorrow and i can get it up and running

 

sweet ;D it keeps looking better and better but the pic does not do it justice ;D

 

Thanks i'll have some frags for ya next time ur back into town hopefully

 

Reactor Up and Running!

The aquaC calcium reactor is now hooked up and running it was SO easy to set up! I hardly had to do anything to it! looks like aquaC has done it again! Now to give it a few weeks/month or so to see how its keeping up with my needs
