It feels good to be back.

I know John, from SCAPE, and he does have the sickness, bad. His tanks are amazing though, I can't wait to see what he does with the cube.

Very cool. Hit me up if you need anything for it. Still have tons of stuff I need to unload. The move was.... interesting.

John, what's your plans for livestock? Looking good man!

 

[John7429]

Mostly LPS/softies to start. Going to slowly add SPS depending on how confident I get and what I find at RAP.

Luckily, all the rock is live rock from other members. I'm going to monitor the parameters for a few days and am hoping to be able to start adding some livestock this weekend.

I am so excited another cool reefer has joined my area. I'll see you around john

 

[John7429]

Had to make a few changes due to some large rocks I purchased recently. Got frags scattered... haha

Xenia rock is looking stressed because they were put in like 10min before the pic

 

[John7429]

Quick update - I received a Vega Color.... so light will be upgraded.

Also getting an ES5 skimmer this week.... so skimmer will be upgraded.

I had added a pellet reactor but got the infamous cyano. Took it off until I upgrade skimmer.

Return pump will/should be changed to Sicce 2.0 this week as well.

Modernizing!

 

[xmas_one]

You're gonna like that sicce pump.

 

[John7429]

You're gonna like that sicce pump.

Yeah. I have several for other tanks. I thought about using my 4.0 as listed in op but that was way too much flow. Using a rio 1400 for the time being. New pump is on it's way. Haha
