What have you done to your set up today?

PM'd you Anya, didn't want to thread jack. Just a question regarding your situation.

I just added water to my ATO reservoir and cleaned the glass. Not much here. Need to drill another hole in one of my stockman standpipes. Just haven't gotten to it yet. Need to also do a DIY silencer for my skimmer. Now that my overflow and sump are not bubbling I hear the skimmer sucking air. Also need to hook up my chiller since i have one now and the weather is going to heat up. This turned into a what needs to be done rather than a what have you done for me.

 

My favorite LFS had a Memorial day Sale/party yesterday!
It was great to see the reefers I know in the area, and meet some new ones as well!
This Store and their attitude is awsome!



In the Raffle, (free btw), I won some Chinese moonlights Led's, has 4 small leds
I also picked up a great shirt!
A local Wisconsonite has a website/business- check out the shirts!
www.Imareefer.com

I got the: 'I'd Frag That'! shirt

I also broke down and picked up a refractometer (I know, I should have had one), I"ve been using a CoralLIfe Hydrometer that I had checked a few times at LFS, it's worked so far! Now I too also have a refractometer! It's only been 2 years without ever using one!

I'm still dripping my dosing via IV tubing line I got from work
Still picking up and moving corals- just about daily
Overall, things are going well, except my GBTA- but's that's another thread.

Hope ya'll had a happy Memorial Day! We still have the furnace/heater on in my house!

 

Saw Todd at the Memorial Day Sale. Hope you weren't late for work. Won a 200 watt Cobalt heater, son won a six gallon Fluval tank. Great turnout, even though the weather could have been better.

Over the weekend, I plumbed my friend's 90 into my system and transferred his corals, fish and light from the 40 breeder they were in. Also got the new skimmer running in the 40. It'll probably take a few day to break in. Bought a used 120 watt LED fixture from my buddy for the frag tank, and will transfer the two PAR bulbs to the DT when I find time.

 

Brian's tank in the basement. Aquascape's not too shabby. (camera phone pic)



New skimmer just plugged in.

 

Is a 40B big enough to house that skimmer Jerry?

 

No problem, Todd, but just barely. It's 16" wide at the base. I'll be set skimmer-wise for a long time. ;D

 

Got more LED lights and the LED controller from Ecoxotic today, it's like Christmas! Will post once I set everything up.
Also took the new black clown fish back to the LFS, it almost killed the one it was supposed to be a couple with. With DiverDan's help I now have a new plan for pairing my current orange one up.

 

Picked up a WP40, only used for 30 minutes. 75 bucks. Took out three powerheads, running omly with the WP40 and one Sicce 4.

 

Glad I can help and glad we got to it before it got ugly. Congrats on the new light.

Good steal on the WP40. Still waiting to get mine. That's awesome that you can get rid of 3 ph and replace with one.
Sweet!

 

I added another hole to the top of my Stockman stand pipes. Seed like one of them was starving for air and the other was on the verge of doing the same. I am so happy with myself that I finally did it instead of telling myself I needed to do it. I also have been busy at work so I was fresh out of clean filter socks. I washed this tonight. And will put one on before work in the morning. I cleaned the glass again and spent quite a long time just staring at the tank trying to figure out in my head if I'm happy with the look. I am just FYI. A few more things on the to do list but that's good for today.
