What did you do to your tank today?

[pgr11]

Connected my dual reactor to the manifold loaded my gfo and carbon and let her rip

Fed the nem thresher traded me and thought about doing a Jesse to it.

@ Jesse next time you come down bring your scalpel and let's play surgeon on the rainbow nem.

Pulled the bicolor angel that was nipping at my new scoly and put him in the sump until I figure out what to do with him.

40 gallon WC but fed the corals 5 hours before to get it real dirty first.

Cleaned the bottom of my sump it was gross an had all sorts of CuC I didn't purchase.

When do you install the LEDs frame in your tank?

added 2 more female tierra anthias, a m/f pair of bimaculatus anthias and a blue star female leopard wrasse yesterday, so this morning I threw in a big handful of brine shrimp and mysis shrimp cubes. Thankfully, all newcomers come out to eat, so i'm happy...nitrates probably going to go up, but at least i knew the newbies are pigs :thumb:

adding a chevron tang today, acclimating now and will be added soon.

my circus is almost complete and restocked after the crash :becky:

Pulled out a dead blue stripe cleaner wrasse. I won this guy at the SCRK meeting and was pretty stoked about it.

It looked like his mouth was damaged. I imagine that was the cause. Just glad I found him and in a spot that was easy to get to. *sigh*

sorry to hear man! FYI..but 1 out of 100 (or even 500) cleaner wrasses adapt and live, others just die off..sucks nonetheless.

Thanks man. I read that same thing the morning after I won it. I was hopeful but it never looked settled the whole week. And I'm definitely not planning on replacing it with another. As pretty as this fish is, I don't see me buying one ever with such poor mortality.

removed algae from viewing panels

Reaquascaped over the weekend. I finally got it where I'm satisfied with how it looks!
What do you guys think? I'm running carbon, skimmer, and phosban reactor. I can't believe how polished my water is! Now just gonna sit back and watch my sps and zoas grow!
What do you think?

Switched out carbon and GFO---upped it to two cups of GFO in helps of alleviating my green cyano issue. Played around with flow and rockscape too. I really like my NextReef reactor. I found a great way to switch out my GFO without messes and emptying out the reactor. I just sandwich the two sponges together tightly and pull out the tube straight into a bucket. This coming from the BRS reactor mess, so I'm quite happy and it's a lot more enjoyable to clean out media now.

 

[slee013]

added a crosshatch trigger pair (to replace the male I lost in my crash) and a pink margin fairy wrasse...

all eating, so i'm happy.

Just saw the female crosshatch tucked in the back corner between a bunch of rock..she's been there for about an hour, so she's probably stuck ....going to have to excavate her out soon :twitch:

Good idea! Gonna have to try that when I change mine.

Week 2 of doing 3 gallon water changes, im going to try doing small 3 gallons every week insted of one 10 gallon change every month. We'll see how my corals like this.

Also cleaned and soaked my BRS dual reactor in vinegar, replaced media and also moved around my vortechs

Hmmm....let's see.

*My female swallowtail jumped out of the tank. It happened when I was there so I picked him up & dropped him back in.
*Did a bi-weekly water change.
*I added a sand sifting star.
*re-glued a couple of sps.
*accidenty broke off a piece of Garf Bonsai

More to follow!

Hey Steve did you lose the sohal too?

 

[slee013]

nah, still got him..he was almost a goner (turned all black and was swimming at top of the tank upside down)...after I got the water circulating and power back up, he turned back to normal and ate the food I dropped in to see if he "was back"...If I was about 30 minutes too late, he would have been a goner..got lucky with him
