What did you do to your tank today?

[wickedfish]

Rescaped and moved coral and traded some coral. Thanks Ron for the coral and for teaching is how to dip coral. I still think that old English writing on a container definitely means it can't be good.

Watched it, while I had a cold beer after work

No more then 20% at a time! You remove to much bb an can throw off the tank. New water is rough when first put in.

If the water is matched ph and alk you can do massive amounts of wc's with no ill effects. I've done 80% with no problems at all.

 

[robert_ellis]

Really. I've always been told do 20% and if I have to do more wait at least a day.

 

[robert_ellis]

By the way... When are you making more wicked feast? I need to try it on my new tank.

If you match alk, ph and temp the corals won't even notice. Obviously I'm not recommending a 80% wc. But done right nothing bad would happen. I do 30% wc's almost every wc.

Well I have 3 guys that want some. I need around ten to get the juices flowing. Maybe in a couple weeks.

The fat man is right, as long as you match up the parameters all is good.

Fed a little, adjusted the skimmer a little, moved some coral a little, and watched it a little

F@6! How's the new skimmer compared to the ole one? Your Tank still look like amateur hour!?

New skimmer rocks!!!!!! The old skimmer was great but just a little small for the bioload. We skimmer is much bigger and made me realize I now need a larger sump to accommodate. This will allow me to setup my filter socks in a new way that will be much easier for Maint. Of course my tank looks like amateur hour, I learned everything from you. Its amazing anything grows.
For deals though the tank is looking real good I'm pretty happy right now

 

[wickedfish]

Of course your happy, you have a pig brain. God bless that Pot belly pig and his compatibility. You're one lucky transhuman.

Very true. But he's able to talk to the Lil ocean flowers. That's something.

 

[Reefcube29]

Moved the tank for the 4th time already this year,.. This time did not go so good, I made a couple limited edition white ghost acros,..

 

[Reef Bullet]

Totally redid my return line and drilled anti-siphon hole in the return above the outlet right under the water line.

Also cleaned out my skimmer cup, did a small water change, and built a stand for my Biopellet reactor and I like it much better now.
