TheGooseWhisperer Posted October 14, 2008 Share Posted October 14, 2008 Looking good! I've always placed my LR so that the coral skeletons are pointing the way they would be when they were alive, but I really like the way yours look with the skeletons cascading down like that. Best of luck with things as the system progresses! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael7979 Posted October 14, 2008 Author Share Posted October 14, 2008 Putting the rocks on the 'lifts' limited some of the ways they could be placed. And of course stacking them 'securely' limited the ways also. And thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael7979 Posted November 7, 2008 Author Share Posted November 7, 2008 Wel it has been a couple of weeks since I gave an update so.......... Things are good. Everyone has handled the move well and seems to be doing really good! Increased my coral count by a few with some trades in the last week or so. They too are all doing good! Getting the diatom algae now so I have stepped into 'new tank syndrome'! (hehe) And I'm really kinda suprised at how much evaporation I am getting. Even with the cooler weather I am having to add 3-4 gallons of top-off a day! I just didn't think it would be that much yet. I figured 2-3 tops!! Now I'm wondering how much I'll have in the warmer summer months! Might have to hire someone to add 10 gallons a day while I work OT to pay for it!! (laugh)(laugh)(laugh) (laugh)(laugh)(laugh) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrgreenthumb Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 i evaporate a minimum of 5 gals a day with a 90 gal display, and 100gallons total volume! I thought it was crazy to, until i started to talk with some fellow reefers or evaporate the same!! Time throw a float valve into the sump and plumb your auto top off adding water manually is cRaZy!!

kriswaters Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 Looking really good Mike. I like the rock work...are you going to keep it to a minimum? I am glad things "moved" over ok. I am a bit apprehensive about my move. How did you plan it out? Corals first, fish last? Let me know. Kris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am a bit apprehensive about my move. How did you plan it out? Corals first, fish last? Let me know. Kris Thanks for the comments! Yeah I plan on leaving the rock as is... (for plenty of swim room),unless something is purchased already on rock. I moved one 'tougher' coral first and let it set for a day or two to make sure it was OK. Then moved all corals and inverts...... using drip acclimation. And finally the fish were last....... using drip acclimation also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
180Brandy Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 I like your rock work. It will look so awesome once it turns purple!!! Could you take a full tank shot. Pretty please..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael7979 Posted November 13, 2008 Author Share Posted November 13, 2008 It is going thru the brown diatoms stage so it isn't really pretty but I'll try to get a picture soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R-3 Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 Updates Mike?? Later Ryan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael7979 Posted December 17, 2008 Author Share Posted December 17, 2008 WOW!!! I had not realized it has been so long since I updated some of the going ons. So............ I 'adopted' Siskious LARGE rabbitfish that she reluctantly needed to let go. He is going just fine and eats like a teenage boy! I added a Korilia 4 powerhead, and I really like it! Quiet, powerful, and energy efficent!!! Looking to add more and replace others as I get them, Ryan (R3) was kind enough to give me an efflo frag for my birthday. Thanks again Ryan! But I haven't added anything else lately. Just been working on a new canopy for my lights. Other then that just trying to keep up.......

If you can call it that. It holds the lights........ that's it. 3- moved some corals around, I like it better now. 4- charging batteries for camera 5- plan on taking pics tomorrow 6- got a new LMB to replace the one that past. And it eats flake food too. Everyone looks good and seems to be happy and healthy. Hoping to post pictures sometime in the evening, if all goes right.
