Rolo's Mini Ocean

That's what it looks like to me. He called it Meteor shower and I dislike when they do that because of all the fancy names they got for corals now.

 

Rolo,
Whats up buddy? I read the whole thread today to get caught up on your build. I love the pond. My wife has been wanting me to take on a pond build, but I want to get my reef tank completed before I start a project that big. Maybe in a couple of years. Sorry to hear about the gobies. I know how much you liked them workers. Did you ever get that new sump built? I remember when you built the other sump and I thought it was awesome. So has the wife got mad at you for all the flooding in the bedroom closet? I can already hear what mine would say to me.... lol I can't wait to see your back yard completed. I think it will look awesome. I have never heard of a Clownfish attacking an Anemone, but there is a lot I have not experienced or heard of in this hobby. I hope the Anem is doing good, and heals up. I love all the updates, and postings. I am looking forward to the next update.

Later,
Zman.

 

Thanks for the kind words. The Pond is great, the yard has grass. All that's missing is some mulch and the vegetable garden the wife wants built. A Little at a time. As far as the sump, well that's a different story. Have a friend that knows a guy type deal. The acrylic has been in his possession for months now I gotta go pick it up one day and actually build it. Currently it's in a rubbermaid tub but it's to shallow and I know it will fail soon. However, I did manage to find a 75 G tank in the trash near work so I might just use that. I got the corals growing and doing good so the tank is looking good and the pond I built filters for and is chemical free and clear as can be. Nice to hear from you buddy.

 

in silicone, what is the chemical that makes it unsafe for fish?

 

I have a 75 gallon in the garage and an unlimited supply of silicone at work however, it contains Methyltrimethoxy Silane. Not sure what that is but I don't need my fish high on METH lol. The other question I have is. Why I can't keep sand sifting type fish alive? I lost in the past 4 engineer gobies, 2 lawnmower blennies, sea slug. Not sure what the issue is.

 

I read on another website that if the silicone is 100% silicone and food safe, it is aquarium safe. You can not use any kind of silicone that has fungicides and/or mold resistant properties. Also you need to make sure that the acid it uses to cure is safe. As I have said before this is info I found on another website.
