Now that funny Made me smile on my birthday thanks(laugh)

Just tried RODs and no I don't work for them... My tank went nuts for it.. going to give it a month and see. but at regular feeding time even finiky eaters went crazy. was really suprized you got to give it a try, well worth the cost.

Experience Have kept various tanks over the years as small as 2g up to about 480 After having had Salt Water tanks since 1988 and leaving them in 2007 due to life changes. Came back to the hobby about a year ago with 5 years off. I just bought my new house and will now have 2 fish rooms one in the house for viewing and, a a custom built room in the garage. The tanks being plumbed through the wall to the garage, the Garage section will be framed in as a tempture controlled filter / frag / Breading area. Set UP Tanks 100g Star Fire Miracles tank on one end 120g Star Fire Miracles tank on the other end 220 Acrylic (James) envision 3/4" in the middle 1 FOWLR aggressive fish 1 (center) mixed reef with a very wide selection of corals and fish 1 ending in a SPS LPS no fish at all only cuc Instead of the normal black stand going with a medium chestnut finish All plumbed through the wall in to a 14 x 18 room. The stands will be a bookcase look all of the same color. Dedicated to my mother (my she rest in peace) We have several pieces of solid chestnut furniture in the living room that (my mothers) will be the color base for the cabinets and stands. Ideally To have a sitting relaxation area where you can sit in theater chairs listen to music or read a book and enjoy the different tanks after a long day at work and decompress. The goal is to have 3 different styles of tanks Inspiration Why not one big one a few friends have asked me. Going to try to have a setting that most reflects my life till now. From a young tank fresh with vitality and ambition (aggressive tank) a mixed tank (symbolizing the marriage to my wife with our wonderful children) and SPS and LPS the years of quite with growth and less distractions. Wants and needs I want it to be a fairly low maintenance setup in viewing area. With large over stuffed chairs were you can just sit be alone with your thoughts and enjoy the peace that comes. I need it be fail safe do to my long work hours that my wife and children can help with, without having to have a large and extensive knowledge of care and feeding. To be a family based hobby that every one Can enjoy and participate in. Equipment 100g Star Fire 120g Star Fire 220g Envision 3 sumps that will be all interlocking with disconnects that will allow them to be run as individual tank tanks in case of sickness each sump will have a refugium, skimmer setup A main calcium reactor with backups in case the need to separate them. A kalk water dossing pump/reactor to martain the pH. and a reefkeepoer to rule them all. 2 500 watt titanium heaters, and a 1/2 horse chiller. The 2 end tanks will have 4 banks each of 3w LEDs total of 360 watts ea. and one each t5 supplemental 460 blue. With the center having 3 250watt MH and 4 t5 supplemental lighting for dusk and dawn effects The 2 end tanks will have 1ea 3/4" sea swirls and 1 mp40 with the main having 4 1" sea swirls driven by a barracuda pump The main return pump will be a hammer head. Having installed a dedicated sub-planel with both 220 and 110 volts. The 220v for the pumps and chiller. So this is the start of my build will be posting pic's of all the materials this week as we get started. Time frame to every thing up and running 6 months. Trying as far as the basics, tanks, plumbing done in 2 months. then the rest of time to cycle it and fine tune it.. Any suggestions or comments will be welcomed. Tank shots and equipment shots will come this week. Thanks for looking. Kim (btw way thanks for the great frags) has asked (when she was over the other night) When I will have a meeting at my new house. I figure that I could do that in feburay.. depending on how this build goes. Specail note to my wonderful wife. Thank you for supporting me in this, an allowing me my dream to come true.

Wow those are big. The bigest I have seen are like the siaze of a nickel can you post us a pic?

What are your water parms ? Had a similar problem when I was adjusting my calcuim reactor that with my blasto.. alk spiked to 17 now running at 10, colors are slowly coming back .. lost a couple Sps but my blasto got some whiting out on the ridges.. when I got alk stablized it started to color back up.. might check for that..

think SWF drills tanks, you can get one at home depot.. or can order from ebay kit is fairly inexpensive, Might call joe at westside aquatics 971-235-8600 little on the spendy side but does good work.

He could fine a new home in my tank : ) Lol only been after him for what 2 -3 months now (whistle)
