    The transFuge

    Ok well i've begone the transfer of the seeding fuge, the little critters have been drpped acclimated and now one of the chromis is now in transit, next stop the big system.



    -----------------------------------------




    Here we have the firs hermith on the moon ; With his jetpack testing the waters for future generation of crabs and other species to come. And here at Tank center we are watching very nervously as he climb this boulder, in the middle of this wasteland.

    My Chromis are in...



    After 3 months ,my Chromis are in...it wa suppose to be a quarantine not a life sentence!! But all the delays with the bad sump ; the replacement sump and then the broken sump it was an extra 6 week in the joint for those guys. But now they're finally in their permanent home. But camera shy for the first day.

    In the fuge i have less design and construction more natural look, to contrast the main reef tank.

    What happened after that and before that



    Thanks but their's a few flaws and bumps as usuall lol. I miscalculate the seperation in the fuge i have to pu an extra gutter guard payer on top the hermiths are climbing on the other sides,lol. If they do that when i have an Angler...bye bye birdy lol. My Tunze ATO sensor is fried have to return it i guess. How ever the system is water tight no drip that was my biggest concern. I tryed the emergency system twice a day for the past 3 days, flawless. emergency powerloss too. my cat ate one of my green LED strip cord , can't be fixed, don't wich one too cook in a paté i'll have to assimilate that one i suppose. Now they're licking each others butt and looking at me, hope they don't think i'm going to join in.... they're roarly mistaken.....i pick up a very nice branch with different kinds of zoos on it yesterday . Superb colors , i've put them in the bottom of the tank for now letting them acclimate to the light in the position they'll be put and fixed on one of the tonga sculpture; that will start that spreading of zoos on that particular sculpture which will host only zoos of different colors and keep the shape of those branch , that should make a very cool look in the tank.. The other tonga sculpture will be GSP. With the wave box ; the motion should be a feast to the eyes. Just noticed i don't have a picture of that one. Thats a first for me i always take pictures lol , must of been a cat moment, when i'm distracted by one of them lol., bad, bad pudy cat!!! lol. Here some of the pictureof the fuge while emptying it some very nasty customers in there, 5 months it ran instead of 6 weeks lol In it was some stuff i was keeping for a friend who lost his tank to a crash, so now its in mine. we've decided that i'll keep them after all and i'll buy him the new stuff, so these guys don't suffer another transfer for nothing.

    This is the fuge just before the transfer; its cloudy because it needed to be shut down , remember i have no skimmer it was only suppose to run 6 weeks not 5 months. it begged for closure.

    The hand of A professional, anyone saying he got stung by a bristle worm, amateur... i have a box of these never work in your tank without them, A scrape with some corals and you can find yourself with a blood infection which is the worst or a local infection ,can result in amputation if not treated. Some nasty bacteria resides in those tanks. We encouraged them for are filtration process and its alive. One guy i know almost lost his jaw bone after swalowing abit of water after a syphon . he had a tooth pulled the day before the bacteria lodged its self in the cavity and ate is bone .... no s kidding. TALK TO THE HAND LOL

    Oh God no its far from quiet lol lots of bumps . I had lots of troubles with the sump and well i handle it , but it took much more time than expected and i missed my deadline and couldnèt present my tank to the family in time for the Holidays so they saw nothing finished. And the place was a mess i had to cancel the dinner. I served it at my parents house mine was too dusty ; full of cement dust from the renovation still . Oh ya reall quiet lol. But hey thats life. We pull through. and move on. Next post.

    New year New Pictures

    This is the sculpture that will be covered wit zoos maintaning the shape of the the Tonga branch was of all importance in the choice of the choice of coral i was going to put in other wise what was the point of doing a sculpture using tonga branch in the first place ......

    The two little guys i picked up should have enough space to become big and strong with no interfearance from no one. My tank will be a fish tank with corals in it. Not a coral tank. Which means ièll have big corals in limited numbers, and i want them to become big.

    The Aqua mag ; a Mangnetic rock, man made to help in many way. For acclimatation of coral, by moving them ; fragging, replacing those ugly eggcrates.... etc
