TheKleinReef Posted January 4, 2014 Author Share Posted January 4, 2014 Could be. You tried feeding the corals at night yet? This seemed to jump the health of my corals over a two day period, but I'm recovering from a flatworm toxin incident so it's hard to say. I usually feed at night. Unless I'm bored and feel like feeding lol Quote Link to comment

metrokat Posted January 5, 2014 Share Posted January 5, 2014 Dates help, like so http://www.nano-reef.com/topic/289493-kats-tank-birthday-party/page-620#entry4522488 http://www.nano-reef.com/topic/289493-kats-tank-birthday-party/page-442#entry4314130 http://www.nano-reef.com/topic/289493-kats-tank-birthday-party/page-661#entry4591692 It's for your own record keeping and help to see how the tank progresses with each change you make. Also, I posted some feeding pictures on my thread. Don't have a heart attack. Quote Link to comment
TheKleinReef Posted January 5, 2014 Author Share Posted January 5, 2014 I have dates in iPhoto. But I should start putting them in the titles like I did with the birdsnest pictures. Quote Link to comment
TheKleinReef Posted January 6, 2014 Author Share Posted January 6, 2014 well, in a week we'll find out if my care sheet i left for my parents was good enough. i broke it down by day and time to dose/feed etc. then even wrote down warning signs if corals are stressed/dying. i really wish i could have gotten it all figured out before i left for school. ah well.

NanoTopia Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 Did you get a REEF CAM ? Can't tell you everything but at very least it can tell you if there is still water in the tank , LOL. 1 Quote Link to comment

Roger, You only need one cam, get a remote movable cam and you can swing it around to look at the entire room (both tanks are in the same room right?) http://www.amazon.com/D-Link-Wireless-Surveillance-mydlink-Enabled-DCS-5020L/dp/B00CL8F98W/ref=lp_898406_1_6?s=photo&ie=UTF8&qid=1389045767&sr=1-6 Quote Link to comment

They're on two different floors of my house. :/ Hey we had a power outage out here in the western burbs for 2 hrs. Might wanna check in .... Parents didn't text me. And my Apex didn't email me. Hmmm I'll check in now. Thanks! Quote Link to comment
metrokat Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Sniff. My apex doesn't email me. And then when it does it sends 140 messages one after the other. Sniff. Quote Link to comment

TheKleinReef Posted January 9, 2014 Author Share Posted January 9, 2014 doser is gonna be here friday can't wait to set it up. it'll be where my ATO reservoir is, one floor underneath my tank. from what i've heard this shouldn't be a problem. of course i'll have to calibrate the pump and check on the peristaltic tubes consistently. any advice to keep the risk down? 1 Quote Link to comment
TheKleinReef Posted January 10, 2014 Author Share Posted January 10, 2014 Went home for a few minutes on my way back to school from my internship. When i walked in the door i saw my dad happily turing the skimmer off with the apex and dosing the zeovit CV and SP. I think i may have corrupted my parents Everything looked good. The gold torch looked a tad stressed, it released some of its zooxanthellae. By the time i left it looked okay. SPS looked okay as well. the slimer hasn't lost any more tissue. Unfortunately my pink stag fell behind the rocks and i lost some tissue on that one. :/ also, my urchin decided to walk around the tank with Kat's Nasuta. I was not happy about that. haha On a side note the doser, vessels, tubing, and vertex mag hoder came. I'm planning on setting it up this weekend for my parents. Having the tank auto-dosed will take an enormous amount of stress off my parents, and probably the corals as well. stay tuned for an update! 2 Quote Link to comment
