I get it though, thought it was funny my bad.. super happy for you that you have found a new passion.. If you need any thing let me know.. we haven't had much interaction but.. from what I have seen you are very passionat about your tank as am I.. would like to have you over sometime to check out my tanks for any advice you could give.. would be very greatful.. Keep it up when one door closes anothe one opens. Its what make us stronger.. keep us posted you might start a new trend.. can you frag jellies? hmmmm LMK

lol been looking for one that size for awhile needed one for my 55.. And JUST BOUGHT ONE 2 dyas ago LOL

WOW rEALLY NICE hAPPY b-DAY IN ADVANCE..

turn it in to a pest tank you can put stevehash20 in it LOL jK he is pretty cool once you get to know him. this should be really cool looking forward to updates. was looking at it to do a ric tank less drama on water qual. what kind of jellies you looking at?

okay what am I doing wrong? brought the calcium reactor on line.. now cal is dropping and alk is going up what do I adjust went 480 then 460 440 today alk 11, 11.5, now 12 do I increase to co2 bubbles * at about 1-2 per sec. or open the drip line more? mag about 1380 +- 20 thanks

could you please call me 10/10 in the am. payment sent. also have a major problem it also sent a payment to you that should have gone to my son.. thanks

have a skimmer you can use till you get this one fixed also have a sedra 9000 but think it is too big.. also have a hob prizm that I could donate to them if a repair is not possible.. LMK

IME t-5 are great for softies, but never had any luck using them with lps, sps for growth maintaining worked great. why not sure.. put them under my leds and or my MH and they take off. Had Travis at upscales recommend useing ATI bulbs according to him they have a higher output than the normal ones haven't really have a chance to look into them yet

Hey jesse did you ever check in to what we talked about on the phone, about the chem in the water supply? Sorry to see such a great guy go thru this if there is any thing I can do LMK, if you get back into sps LMK like I said the frags I got from you, you can always get back when your rdy.. have a few very hardy softies and other things and quite a selection of zoas, I could help you out with frags if you decide to go that direction.. free of charge. Dang man so sorry for all your prob. wish there was something I could do to help.

going to try to make it would love to see your tanks, How much is addmission over one tank qualifies as an aquarium.. one frag each? jk lol (clap). but will try really ahrd to stop by thanks for the invite what time frame please?

+1 just because still think you should call it the nutty profeesor frag it and sell it 100 per eye/polyp

saw him here.. might try to pm him http://www.pnwmas.org/forums/showthread.php?34399-40-Breeder-complete-setup-and-other-stuff-for-sale

just a few pics

post calcium reactor // before the calcuim and alk were all over the place one day to the next 10/05/2012 phos 0 def over but not to the next color level on chart which is .25 nitrite 0-.25 closer to .25 than 0 ph 8.0-8.2 ammonia .25-.5 calcium 480 km alk 11 3 hours after cleaning in skimmer, sump, pumps and putting on a new filter sock 10 micron and a filter pad to clean out the debris kicked up by cleaning 10/06/2012 phos 0 slightly above but not to the next level nit 0 ph 8.3 ammonia 0 calcium 480 km alk 11 changed filter sock removed filter pad made sure water was topped off to correct level waited 1 hour prior to testing 10/07/2012 phos 0 maybe just a hair above not quite 0 color but just barely nitrite 0 ph 8.25-3 ammonia 0 calcium 460 had the calcuim reactor running but after the good cleaning last night forgot to turn on the co2 bottle.. :( temp 78.6 sg 1.025 km alk 11.5 magnesium 1360-1400 (1380?) changed half way between the 2 levels seems high using red sea test kit pro checked it 3 times same results new kit btw the sps and lps look the happiest I have seem them since I put them in the tank great polyp extentsion better color. Could be just me and wishfull thinking But, to me they look better.. ie more stable water.. happier corals. Didn't think that water pram It could effect them that fast in 3 days. but a def differnce. so.. after all this and thank you for all your input and help.. I owe you one frag each or a beer or 2 at happy hour.. LMK any thing else I should be checking for and how long should I be doing daily checks? be for going to 2-3 time a week? also what should target numbers be.. I know there are a lot of schools of thought so give the middle of the road where I can expect good growth? thanks again for all the help looks like its almost dialed in .. and how would I adjust the alk, mag if needed? so should I proceed with the 20% water change tommorow or keep testing everyday for a few days to see how it goes?

want mp 40's pm sent want mp 40's pm sent opps did I say want both mp 40's pm sent?

I'll pick up a mag test kit and let you know. From what I read cal and alk run in lock step with mag so if those 2 were more less in balance the mag should be ok.. Now I see that its something I should also be testing for while I get the cal reactor dialed in. will post new parm with mag after I pick up the test kit. so everthing else looks more or less okay, what your saying and not to bring the phosban reactor on line at this time. should I still be using the carbon reactor? I also think part of the problem came from using contaminated ro/di water// when I had the filters changed a bout amonth or so ago, the waste line form the ro unit got swapped with the good out going into the di unit.. noticed more aglea so took it in to have it checked and found this out. So with this water change and going to do one more tomorrow the should take care of that .. any more suggetions on anything else I should be doing? thanks also bringing on line a new ato system/ using about 5-7g a week in evap water, also a reep keeper lite to monitor temp and ph balance, I run my lights 12hrs a day, the moon lights at night.. also have a nigth light over the refugium during the photo cycle to help stablize the ph at night..

very nice can I pet him? (clap)

did a 30% water change today cleaned out the sump, skimmer, refuigum, return pump after 3 hrs 10/06/2012 phos 0 slightly above but not to the next level (close enough that you could call it 0) nit 0 ph 8.3 ammonia 0 calcium 480 km alk 11.5 sugestions? still running carbon reactor, and cal. reactor.. should I bring the phosban reactor on line?

I have a seed rock you can have and a finger leather about 3" that you can also have once your tank is cycled.. pm let me know if you want them GL looks like you off to a nice start, welcome to the Addiction. also a couple of starter shrooms and a couple other things..

IME when ever i put zoas next to my shrooms the zoas take over the rock and crowd the shrooms out till they move or die unless the shroom is a large one then it seem to hold them at bay..

Very interesting read.. so would you say by adding 1-2 two clams per 75-100gals enough to reduce the toxic levels that you could increase your bio load above what you would normally have for a similar set up with out them .. example: say you tank would support 5 fish with out any noticeable traces.. that you could double the load to 10 with out problems? or that it would negate the need for various types of mechanical filtration with an equivalent bio load? Example on a 40g b you have a small skimmer and refugium. By adding 1-2 small to medium clams (3-5 inches) you could spare the expense of those ( skimmer and refugium) and still have a happy system? or would these be something that would help keep the system stable? thanks for you input in advance.
