SharoleB's 90 gallon tank

beautiful coral

 

Really nice tank. Congrats!

 

have you been able to raise your alk levels? im having a similar problem

 

Honestly, though I should, I haven't tested again. Everything seems to be doing well though. I'll try to get that done tonight.

 

I started a local grow out competition, wish me luck!! I normally don't have a problem growing things, unless I REALLY want them to do well. My tail spot blenny has decided this horribly ugly frag needs to be cleaned constantly, and keeps irritating them. I hope they do as well as my other candy apple reds!

Cute tail spot blenny!

 

Definitely loving the camera I caught off the bottom of the river last fall!! I set the hook on that thing and it was a great catch!! Put it right into the tank, excellent pics, almost every time. ;D

 

I love the tank, Sharole. Nice coral growth. Anything new to share?

 

Thanks Seano! Sadly, no. It has been a crazy spring, starting in February when my husband got into a major collision. April, his 3rd back surgery, which caused us to say goodbye to his business. He could no longer get on ladders/roofs. SO - with it going on 6 months with only my income, I've had to sell $1,100 worth of corals. SAD. All my prize pieces gone. Now, husband is out of state going to school, and I had to deal with my leaky tank all last weekend, as well as electrical issues. Of course it waits until he's gone to act up, no issues before that!!! Normally, husband does plumbing/fixing, I grow corals. I hate the plumbing part, and the sound of the tank now keeps me up at night. I think I'm going to finish selling off my corals. I am keeping the equipment.

I was actually intending to start a thread -doyou think after I sell the corals I can dry out the rock outside, especially since it's summer - then store it in tubs for future use?

Thanks.

 

Sorry to hear about your husband (and that you have to take down the tank).

Yeah, you can take all the rock out and let in dry in the sun for a few days, a week at most. You will likely have a small amount of die off when you start a new tank with this rock, but it wouldn't be much. Saving it will keep costs down when you decide to get back into the hobby.

You can start a thread for the corals in the for sale section of the forum.
