TheClark Posted October 7, 2015 Author Share Posted October 7, 2015 I have changed all my plumbing to herbie, added some real nice corals and a few fish since my build thread started. I'll snap some pics and update my thread tonight. Cool! herbie nice and quiet? I am sure a fan... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoringDave Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 Old temporary durso plumbing. The tank would drain 100% of its water into the refugium, then into the sump. Returning via twin Quite one 1200's, this made for a bunch of unwanted noise. Also I couldn't use my filter sock so the sump would fill with crud quick. New plumbing feeds right to the sump herbie method. so now I can use my filter sock. Only draw back is I now have to feed my refugium with a separate pump from the sump water. Which has now already been skimmed. Don't pay attention to that 3/8ths hose feeding the refugium, it's only temporary. This weekend it's going to be replaced with one of the Quite one 1200's with a 1/2" over the rim return elbow. Drains and returns. New plumbing Refugium with a Craftsman 2700k CFL drop light over it. Also cut a new glass top from an old 40b. I tried two different acrylic covers but both bowed real bad. Needless to say space is a premium under my tank.

Blue Z Reef Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 Float switch just went out after 4+ years of service, lets hope it's $4 replacement holds up as well ???? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheClark Posted October 14, 2015 Author Share Posted October 14, 2015 Left the windows open last night to see the effect on PH, definitely affected, however the temperature dropped quite a bit. Looks like I need more heater watts in case the heat pump ever goes out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteRock Posted October 14, 2015 Share Posted October 14, 2015 Absolutely nothing. Completely uninterested in it these days :( a huge tricolor colony has grown an attached itself to the front glass, looks like [language filter]. Not sure why I'm so meh about it these days. Idk, maybe winter will help. Need to trim some of this stuff up and get at it. I Have a garbage can of bubbling fresh water change sitting in my living room for a week now. Quit slacking pete! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fishboys Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 My tank has been on a roll. Not a good roll mind you but a roll. I payed a heavy price for not dipping and my tank got monti eating nudies. So all of my montis are gone. This was about 6 weeks ago. I just got back from a 24 day holiday and I lost a bunch of if not all of my sps.{some still hanging on by a very thin thread}I am down to only my Oregon tort ibut it is on a razors edge. Everything soft is in the clear as are the fish and acans. I had purchased rock from random people on line, all from this site. I think some are leaching out phosphates which has created a battle that I wasn't ready for. I am on the verge of throwing in the towel. Every problem I have is my fault, I blame no one except myself. So if your new to this hobby please don't follow in my footsteps. Make sure and dip every coral and make sure you know where your rock is coming from. I had done most every other thing correct, but my mistakes were major mistakes. .

matt Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 Mine is still at my old apartment and due to hunting and other things I won't be able to get it to my new place until late next week :( It sucks not being able to look at it and enjoy it. sent from a Samsung note 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cor4eyh Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 I finally got my dosing all dialed in really haven't done much to the tank other than refill the ato and the cal and alk dosing. Going to do a big 25 gallon water change soon and maybe get some more fish and inverts. I'm down to 4 fish :( something was killing them or they were dieing for some reason or another. Also have some fragging to do! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pipefish Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 added another yuma... the two yumas that survived the previous tank disaster (choose your tank sitters wisely!) seem to be recovering well... one's a pink and the other is a turquioise/orange and I've come to the conclusion that both are the sun worshipping medium-flow type. my ruby red dragonet bonded with my randall's pistol shrimp, so probably not going to add a yasha at this point lol. also I've been trying to catch this ~4" red bristleworm (fireworm?) for like the past week and it's getting ridiculous. that may seem small to some of you guys but this tank is only 19" across 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoringDave Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 Scored this. And this. From the Goodwill. The UPS has a build date of 10/2013. I tested the battery and it's good for now. My plans are using it as a DIY project and hooking it to a way larger battery, Also a solar panel. The other is a exo terra 18" duel mogul socket light fixture. I put 5k CFL bulbs in it and placed it above my refugium. It fits perfect and looks way better then the craftsman drop light. The drop light was replacing my last DIY led lighting option that failed miserably. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
