Sweet. Good to know. Did you look into the ATI fixture at all? Heard anything about it compared to the TEK? I'm flip flopping between the two right now.

What's wrong with it??


You'll get yours too.


What ATI fixture?

haha nevermind then. It's the ATI 36" 4X39W Powermodule. Thanks for the advice on the TEK though!

There seems to be an interesting.... pair... forming.




Yes, Bob #3 is riding the clownfish... I've caught them doing this twice today so far.

Oh, FTS... I'll take one after I do the water change.

That's cool! What a cute couple

Congrats on those Saints Kim!!

WHO DAT?????

WHO DAT!!!!

Poor N.O., wont be a TV in a store tomorrow.

The Saints played a good game. Of course, I think some of the "the win will bring hope to N.O." etc. from the announcers and celebs was a bit over done. My hope is that the great football played by the players and the ballsy coaching is what is celebrated, because that's exactly what the Saints did tonight.

I love it when you talk dirty to me.

Congrats on the win, Saints fan. I love Jason Garrett, but I hate that Jerry Jones let Sean Peyton leave Dallas. Some excellent coaching tonight. Enjoy it. My team has won one playoff game since I was 11 years old...

It was a pretty good game, wasn't it?
Sorry about your team.

I think I'm going to have to start dosing the tank.. Every time I do a water change, the SPS pieces have growth spurts, but apparently the good stuff is soaked up quickly and the growth slows to nearly null. All of the softies and LPS growth seems to be minute as well. Any suggestions as to what to dose? 2-part?

Bulk Reef Supply - easy peasy

or B-Ionic

M'kay, bought some b-ionic 2-part... if anything goes wrong, I'm blaming you DH and you'll get no yuma. *shakes fist*

meh, i've been using it for a year with no crash. you crash your tank = user error..



oh wait...i'm supposed to be being nice!


umm...

Thanks, like I said, 1 playoff win since I was 11...I'm used to it.

Keep us posted on the dosing. I've gotta get used to doing that stuff again. I haven't had a proper reef tank in over a year, been fishy-only for a while now. Moving was hard on my corals.

Just checked cal and alk just for kicks... Calcium is 400 and alk is... 6.4dkh.

Your "simple" reef tank is going out the window. Might at well drain, drill and sump it too, switch to LEDs and throw in a skimmer, calcium reactor and controller

even the strongest eventually fall

Psh, my simple crappy tank looks better than what you guys have to show. j/k
Took some pics, including FTS.. should be posted shortly.

mine would look much better with a yuma

Was going to say something about being a mod and being TOTM but I'll hold my tongue.

I made sure to include plenty of pics containing the yuma and it's various (6 or so) babies to taunt DH.
Haven't seen the porcelain crab in many moons...

FTS (larger image)

The fitfully growing SPS pieces. Couldn't get a good close up of the digi because of the angle but it's growing well.





Monti cap is the only one that has been negatively affected by anything. Lost quite a bit of tissue, but after I resumed regular weekly water changes it's growing back quickly.


Despite not feeding any of the mini nems, there must be almost 20 of them now...








Hammer... I need to find a new spot for it to be completely shaded.


Red skirts are now orange skirts.....


Daytrippers are lighter in color.






The toadstool I got from Richie was closed up at the time I took the pics, but it looks delicious!

Sorry for so many pics..
Canon XT w/Canon 100mm and Sigma 10-20mm. Some P mode, some Manual, all hand held with all pumps/filters on.

Why I outta...

Awesome as always.... hey .. you missed the pic of the mini nems... fix it! FIX IT NOW!

Darn... you're fast.

Monti's are always my "indicator" corals. They are always the first ones to show signs of stress if something is out of balance. B ionics is pretty forgiving imo, you should be okay.

Your tank looks great, btw.

Why the shade for the Hammer? Too much light on the Hammer?

Teehee





Ya, I've noticed the same! If I can just get the alk up and steady, things should improve.
Thanks!


Erm... can't you tell from the pic?
The heads in full light are small and shrunken while those in the shade are full and colorful..

Awesome job Lani! Love it. You'll be fine with B-Ionic. It's pretty easy stuff to deal with. Those Halimeda are real alk sponges so I'm not surprised your alk is low.

Thanks.
You should have seen how much halimeda I ripped out of the tank last weekend.... what you see left in the pics is around 25% of what was in there before.

try this. it works well if you take the time to get the drip rate right. you just have to make sure you keep the valves from crusting up.

Wow the rics are doing well. The two you sent me back in the day are now 5 and one has multiple mouths.

Just noticed your new sig quote. Lol, rocky rules!!

;p;

thats lol but one over

Broken link, but if it's a doser or somesuch, I ain't touchin' it.


Nice.

it is, no sense in fixing the link I suppose. We'll see how you feel about it in a few more months...

^ this

Tank is really looking awesome Lani, I love it.
Yumas are beautimous, I'd like to join in with the rest of the clamoring throng requesting one sometime down the road.
I also agree that the Halimeda is probably strongly affecting your Ca/Alk levels, esp. in the quantities that you have it.
Like you, I wasn't gonna dose on the 30g.
I caved this last week and have been dosing B-Ionic.
I have a much smaller amt. of Halimeda than you, and I think it's been eating up my Ca.

PURDY PICHERS!!!

Thanks, guys.

And yeah, Weets, I'm going to keep a tighter reign on the halimeda from now on, along with dosing the b-ionic. We'll see how that all goes!

How bout I be different I don't want a baby yuma, I want a baby st. thomas and a mini carpet

Lol, everybody wants something from Lani. j/k!


The St. Thomas only has one baby so far, so I don't have any to spare, sorries! And D doesn't have any more of those mini nems?? I could send you a couple.

*writes down list of who wants what*

i want a yuma plz.

I can wait awhile for the shroom and the nem. The weather up here isn't so great for shipping livestock. Nope the only nems in our home are of the coldwater variety unless you count my one aptaisa.

Question what wins in a fight over space the encrusting gorg or a mushroom? If mushies win I may want some of the gorg. If not then I'm kinda scared to put it in my tank.

Hi.

Wow, this tank is really awesome. I can't wait to upgrade to a 40 breeder.
Check mine out if you like.
