eh, i dont let me tds get much higher then that. I replace the ro membrane once a year and the prefilters every couple months along with the DI resin.

Hmmm...guess next time I run a batch of water I'll go ahead and swap them out...thanks again DT! Tunze is in my tank as we speaking for the first night of tea brewing!

In the immortal words of Jimmy Carr, "There's a thin line between being neighbourhood watch and being a vigilante - that is a line that you cross when you buy a cape."

You need more SPS nice sps son.

Heh, hope you get it all sorted out, girly.





Nah, SPS ain't all that special.

Great looking tank! I prefer the LPS over the SPS as well.

Thanks, Tigah!

What's all this cape talk Lani? Haven't you ever seen The Incredibles?! Only bad stuff happens when you wear a cape...no capes! However, you know I'd join this "Softie Mafia"..haha.

High!

lol @ Alicia

And Hay! @ Richie

Hehehe...she's (Edna Mode) hilarious. I love cartoons!

Hi Lani, been trying to read this entire thread, but it's so long lol!

Beautiful tank btw.

I just got a 40br with tek 5 6 light kit as well.

You probably posted this somewhere in here, but what bulb configuration do you have on yours?

Thanks!

Thanks!
I do have the 6-bulb tek fixture, but it's too much light, so I've only been running 4 bulbs. I'll still list all 6 though:
Giesmann Aquablue+
Geismann Actinic+
KZ Fiji Purple
Giesmann Aquablue+
Giesmann Actinic+
Geismann Actinic Pure

Right now I have the two outside bulbs timed as the dawn and dusk lights, while the others stay on the rest of the time.

Needs more FTS imo.

It.. ummm..... looks the same.

Hey, you said you had the photography bug again! Besides, it's fun to pester people incessantly for a FTS when they posted one like a week beforehand and it's a known fact that things happen slower than grass growing

Jerk
How's your tank progressing??

It's going awesomely! At least, that's what I hear on the radio. Being that, y'know, I CAN'T LEAVE MY ROOM TO CHECK IT You're a big meanie Kim!

Naw, once I'm all... not swine-flu'd ¬_¬... I'm finishing the stand, getting a few more fish to put in the live rock cycle/QT/watevs tank (pro'lly the clownfish and the Eibli), then moving both of my systems (the salty and the freshy) over. Hopefully getting a bunch of stuff off of the 'rents for my birthday this weekend too which should help

You know I'm just picking, silly.
Sounds like a plan. You just need to get better now.
And woo, hope you have big plans for your b-day!

Does sleep sound like a big plan to you? naw, never was one for celebration. It's such a pedestrian achievement to make it another year... usually

M'kay, for Mr. Ben.



You can kind of see the mandarin smooching herself in the corner:


Trying to get the gorgeous yuma to attach to some rubble.... need to find more rubble..:


The tissue on the blastos are receding for some unknown reason....

lovely scape! i hope you won't add anymore rocks to it as it is perfect spaced now. and i didn't know you have a 40g, guess i was 'out of town' for too long!

the lawn is so lush and is that a vortech bling bling? *drools*

on the blasto, maybe you want to place them somewhere higher (less disturbance from the snail and sand) and with less current as well? me no expert here, just a friendly suggestion

DUNCAN!!!
Where have you been???

Thanks for the suggestions, I've moved the blastos!
Also, I just found a few bright green hydroids, similar to those that lakshwa has/had in his tank..... They are so purdy.

I have been preparing my wedding stuff and such... not sure if american guys gotten help out in the preparations, but guys here are very much involved.

great find for you! be sure to post the hydroid pics. i used to have one. it never grow much but the color did intensified greatly.

Congrats!
I think most guys here stay out of the wedding planning, lol.

Good to see you around!

Looks great!

I may have some rubble. I will check when I get home.

Thanky, Richie. I have some rubble in the 15gal. I just need to scrub the stupid algae off of it.

N'awwwwww, Kim updated her photo just for li'l ol' me!

Shame you're not closer, I've got literally pounds of rubble from rocks I smashed up to make a scape. Somehow I don't think the mail system is gonna appreciate a whole bunch of bacteria-swathed rocks comin' through though

When ya gettin' Mandy a BF???

FTFY

Heh, yeah, I don't think that'll work.


Dunno... haven't really thought about it. Want to get a small school of fish going too.



Do you ask every single guy when they are going to get a girlfriend?

oooh nice tank. I like the gsp forest. Hopefully I'll have one soon

Careful what you ask for, lol.

Btw, Duncan is a smarty pants. I put the blastos on the frag rack, higher in the tank and in less flow and they are looking like their old selves again.

nice looking blastos, any macro photos?

Thanks. Macros of mah blastos? lol

Hmm....one blasto off all by itself .....

yea,, closeup shots like this

Richie -

FF - I was joking about the rhyming, heh. Nah, haven't been taking many pics of the tank at all lately. Took a few close-ups when I first got them, but no real macros yet.

I get the feeling you'd have to ban yourself for those

Single Male Mandy seeking lovely GF for quiet moonlit swims around the LR and dinner on the sand here: Clicky!

Ha, already posted those... just not macros.

very noice

Thanks, I'll try to get more pics of the blastos and everything else soon.
