    wow that would drive me absolutely crazy!!!! having to turn it every single day!!!! So I remember almost a year ago you said you barely had to top this thing off, about how much do you top off a day now?? Oh and where the heck did you find the vase and how much did it cost I still cant find one!!! and it drives me crazy!!

    thankyou for the kind words.

    i try to leave the tank kinda caulkeyed in the corner of the room that wa i can pop the door off reach what i need to and close her up again..

    top off, i do about 50ml of kalk, and about 4-500ml of RO/DI, not really all the accurate really...the kalk i keep in a 500ml water bottle, just dump a couple seconds worth everyday...then for the top off i go by the marks on my sump...so i dont know exactly how much i add, but a 3litres of RO lasts about 10 days give or take a day...

    i found the vase at a store called HomeSense, was there tonight didnt see any though, and have seen them since buying this one actually...it cost me $12.00...and about another 300 to get it where it is today...LOL

    i wish i could afford a bigger tank...the nice thing about this little vase is a $10 frag does a nice job filling things up...i just picked up a beautiful 3 headed florescent green and pink frogspawn last night...thing blew up to the size of a soft ball when i put it in my tank...LOL then the magnification makes it look even bigger...i will post a pic later today...have to do a nice big water change today...my nitrates are climbing up to about 15....got 4G of fresh saltwater waiting...that is about a 45% WC...

    wow, been quite a while since an updated pic...tank is just over a year old now, so i guess some new pics are needed...

    i have since added 5 SPS frags, and a closed brain coral....strangely enogh some corals have not grown at all...and some have done really well...also added a white anemone crab, and have completely redone the LED fixture to make it 11 3W cree's instead of the 7 3W luxeon's...
    pretty recent FTS. sorry i cant take a pic that isnt so blue...
